An interesting article "Is the Bible more violent than the Quran"? ..March 18, 2010 Barbara Bradley Hagerty. Religion historian Philip Jenkins decided to compare the brutality quotient of the Quran and the Bible. His finding the Quran were actually far less bloody and less violent than those in the Bible. Violence in the Quran, Jenkins says is largely a defense against attach. The Bible is a specific kind of warfare laid down in which we can only call genocide. In 1 Samuel God instructs King Saul to commit genocide to the Amalekites, and because Saul failed God took away his kingdom. Of course this is only one man opinion so is he right, don't know. He does bring out some interesting points, something to think about but I don't have a clue what's in the Quran... Jenkins is a professor at Penn State university and author of two books dealing with the issue back in 2010....

In the last 20 years How Many Changes Have Occurred in Watchtower Beliefs?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses say that they have the truth and the truth is constant.
they believe that what they teach is the truth that comes directly from jehovah god.
can you think of anything that has changed in the last 20 years to show a jehovah's witness that the truth is not necessarily the truth..

Did you ever buy into 1975?
by tornapart infor those of you that can remember.... did you really believe that armageddon was going to come in 1975?
i was a child of the 60s, in my teens in the 70s and can honestly say that i never bought into it.
i saw brothers and sisters selling their homes and moving into rented property.

I told my golf buddy this morning that all the devastation taking place JW's are happy, that is what they pray for God's kingdom to come. (Golf buddy) So what does that have to do with earthquakes, hurricanes and deaths?(me) In order for his kingdom to be establish about 8 billion people must go up in flames.(gb) say what!!! (me) Yes my man you and everyone you know must die so they can have their paradise.((gb) Well they will be surprise when they see me in heaven.(me) I'am sorry but you can't go to heaven only 144000. (gb) Look man you are giving me a headache lets play golf, how in the hell did you become a JW..

New "Annointed" Brother In My Old Hall...
by pale.emperor ini've only just stopped laughing.. in my old hall there's a brother who's now claiming to be of the anointed.. he's 28.. i do wonder if he's doing this for attention, if he's awake and messing with them, or if he really is that deluded.
when i was in he was an ms. which surprised even me because only a year earlier than that he was "a bit of a lad", is rubbish at talks and relies on his elder uncle to get him out of trouble all the time.. i guess this now means he's get his pick of jw sisters.
he's been after the same one as the rest of his peers since 2014..

If you were still in and you knew what you know now about the borg. hell why not . It would be fun, they couldn't DF you..When they pass the wine shake it lightly, take a sip and let it sit in your mouth for a second and then take a big gulp. If a elder approach you tell him to talk to the hand or talk to Jehovah...

Snow in JW's Paradise or not.
by James Mixon inok ezekiel 34:26-27 says there will be seasons.
so if you have rain in higher elevation it will turn to snow, you will have deserts, waterfalls ,high peaks and snowstorms and these can cause pain and death.
will one die from sking down the side of a mountain( if they have the time in paradise) at 30 miles an hour and run into a tree, if one end up in a snow storm 40 below in your wagon(no cars) will you die???

waton;also where I live in California I can surf at the beach and a hour later snowboard in the San Bernardino Mts., but will the angels protect someone who may be surfing in the path of a great white shark and this monster is tired of eating sea weed.

OK Ezekiel 34:26-27 says there will be seasons. So if you have rain in higher elevation it will turn to snow, you will have deserts, waterfalls ,high peaks and snowstorms and these can cause pain and death. Will one die from sking down the side of a mountain( if they have the time in paradise) at 30 miles an hour and run into a tree, if one end up in a snow storm 40 below in your wagon(no cars) will you die????In other words if snow will be in paradise you have a whole set of problems.
