If anyone tried to harm my fam, watch out, cause I wouldn't just kill him, I would make him suffer.
Oh, and about that lovely infant-dashing scripture-imagine the horror mothers felt before being killed by a 'loving god'.
speaking entirely from a biblical standpoint:.
let's say you are a devout jw.
your wife and children are being threatened by an intruder with a gun.

witness urban legends.
you know what they are; we have all heard them before.
the stories that somehow show the witnesses or their teachings in a good light but always seem to contain elements that would seem preposterous to most people.
Right, yet I was a very different person several years ago, and my bullshit detector didn't work. I just didn't care what was said, I never investigated anything, I was a 'natural street freak, just eating anything that came by.' (Fear and Loathing reference)
true objectivity is not anywhere, but a good balance is possible, just not in the borg, as I've seen.

there has been some more progress on the united nations front and getting more evidence to you very nice people.. for your information i have located an ngo in toronto who houses a small library of quarterly reports that dpi sent to the various ngos.
this is my first time i have ever seen these and i will have them going back at least 10 plus years.
my previous ngo friends had offices in new york and thus, did not have these - nor was i aware i could get my hands on them.
Hey Fred, how's the weather in Walkil today?
Hawk, my mom's going to kiss you for the new info....

An emotional response is different than a prepared experience that is false.
People opinions are one thing, creating legends are another.

AMC-an example of it on this DB, please?
But, I agree that the bullshit is everywhere, it's just SANCTIONED in the borg.

i have to ask this although i have a feeling i dont really want to read the responses but anyway.
i talked to several people here today who dont believe there is a god at all.
this is disturbing!
Hey puffs, what Larc said.....I think you're pissed at the JW catch phrases you're hearing, but they don't mean anything now....breaking away is so damn hard, especially for those without a family base....also, she said she was sheltered, so she probably is just beginning to live....it may sound like she's prejudiced against other religions, but she isn't. If you remember, 'christian conscience' is really just 'conscience' to people who've been fed those JW phrases for so long...take it easy on Flower, she's still breaking away...

i was reading this week the book of jonah and it got me thinking.
was he a false prophet?
he prophesied that jehovah would destroy nineveh and it did not come true.
I understand the paralell, though I don't agree with it. Jonah was one man who made one revisionist prophecy.....the WTBTS has made dozens.
Besides that, there are current doctrine and rules that are not so great. Some tainted history as well.

every memorial that i ever attended, all the attendees wore serious or solemn expressions.. for crying out loud, as quoted in the friggin' article, it's supposed to be the commemoration of the death of christ!.
from all the visible faces in the pictutre below, only three appear to not be grinning.
my favorite is the guy who appears to be sleeping (he is the one to the left shoulder of the closest attendant).. .
Wouldn't it be great if it was pints of Guinness instead?

Hi Fred-Ashi-Kitty,
the point is, if you read it, you would read about the JW ass-kissing to Hitler...an interesting read, especially if your blinders aren't on.

north carolina court of appeals.
filed: 2 november 1999. state of north carolina v. theondray ozell welch, defendant.
1. homicide--proximate cause--victim's refusal to accept blood transfusion--not intervening cause of death.
She may have been a bitch, and refused the blood, but the asshole DID stab her. He should die for the murder, pure and simple.
