Commentary/Survey: The Necessity for God to Destroy Evil Individuals
by Derrick init's time to wake up and smell the coffee.
the world trade center and other acts of terrorism highlight the necessity for god to exterminate not only those behind these mass murders such as members of the al quaida network but all evil individuals worldwide engaging in crime.
forget the watchtower society's pet pieves about who is evil and who qualifies for destruction.

Frightening news brings Armageddon blues
by Derrick ingeorge bush's administration and the government is at it again, warning americans to buy among other things sheets of plastic and duct tape, select a panic room in the home, and seal every orifice to prevent biological, chemical or radioactive agents from seeping through any cracks.
nevermind that those successful enough to seal a room completely air-tight will suffocate long before they become deceased from airborne agents of warfare.
how many of you are concerned the ugly turn of events worldwide portends the great tribulation leading to armageddon?

Harry Potter ``imbued with Christian morals''?
by Derrick inmany jehovah's witnesses confused about whether the watchtower society is really the administrative arm of the "faithful and discreet slave class" might breath easier to know that another organization claiming to be god's spokesperson declared at a press conference that they "don't see any problems in the harry potter series.
" associated press (ap) reports the vatican is giving the harry potter series two thumbs up and announced at a vatican press conference "the good vs. evil plot lines of the best-selling books are imbued with christian morals.
" the question in many jw parents minds is whether the governing body's silence on the popularity among children of harry potter indicates they agree with the vatican on its moral assessment of this children's fable?

Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand...
by Derrick inthe year is 1974 and the countdown to armageddon is nearing its grand climax (tm).
there is more electricity in the air at kingdom halls throughout the world -- as field service groups meet in anticipation for one last plea to apathetic 'householders' whom we believe will seal their fate by either accepting a free home bible study or slamming the door in our faces.
even those who politely reject the kingdom message by politely saying "sorry, not interested" are facing certain death as armies of avenging angels riding legions of horses descend from the heavens to earth to execute every man, woman and child who does not bear the mark of a baptized witness of jehovah in good standing.

WHAT IS THE MOST PAINFUL FORM OF BETRAYAL?
by Derrick inwhen those who claim to speak for god turn out to be liars.
.. .. .. is this the most painful one-line response to that question in the subjectline, or can you think of something even more painful in one sentence or less?.

Danny, et al, I never claimed to have the answers
by Derrick inyou, farkel and others continue to mete out unfair assessments of the position i have taken because it apparently is out of sync with your worldview.
also, that remark implying that simon tolerates my posts as if my expressed beliefs are a nuisance on this forum are putting words in his mouth.
you seem to think that it's inappropriate to express views on jehovahs-witness.com that don't support the specific partylines of two major camps: partyline jehovah's witnesses as represented by the watchtower society or farkelline ex-jehovah's witnesses with strong steinhaugist underpinnings.

Don't Get Me Wrong Farkel
by Derrick ini am not by any stretch of the imagination a 'watchtower apologist.
' your recent assessment of me in this regard not only missed the bullseye but strayed so far off course it almost hit innocent onlookers.
then why am i giving the watchtower society unbiased treatment by (gulp) pointing out their positive aspects not just accentuating the negative?.

Watchtower Society Given Prestigious Medical Award
by Derrick inmany on this site focus on the society's negative aspects.
it's as if many of you are afraid to mention anything positive just in case it might reveal that jehovah's witnesses are humans who keep trying, even after various human failings, to make a positive impact on this world.. don't you agree that it's fair to give them credit when due?
then read on.

Needless To Say...
by Derrick inyour harsh criticism of the watchtower is not helping matters.
instead of criticizing the problems, why not suggest solutions?.
this is pointless, provocative and designed to ignite a firestorm of followup attacks.... "the borg's disfellowship policies totally sux!!!!!".
