Lies, all lies!!!
by LittleToe ini mentioned, in a recent thread, that one booklet in particular helped me shed some misconceptions about the wts.
it was regarding whether or not they were just misguided, or intentionally deceptive.. the booklet "exposing 'should you believe the trinity'" was what did it for me, solely on the basis of scholastic integrity (not the trinity doctrine, which has been "done to death" on many other threads).. .
the following site makes similar points, and references said booklet:.

HATRED.
by Blueblades in.
hatred is the most accessible and comprehensive of all unifying agents.it pulls and whirls the individual away from his own self, makes him oblivious of his well-being and future, frees him of jealousies and self-seeking.he becomes an anonymous particle quivering with a craving to fuse and coalesce with his like into one flaming mass.. the history of such men as, hitler, chiang kai-sheck, stalin, etc.demonstrates that this is true.. it is understandable that we should look for others to side with us when we have a just grievance and crave to retaliate against those who have wronged us.the puzzling thing is that when our hatred does not spring from a visible grievance and does not seem justified, the desire for allies becomes more pressing.it is chiefly the unreasonable hatreds that drive us to merge with those who hate as we do, and it is this kind of hatred that serves as one of the most effective cementing agents.. passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life.thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance.a mass movement offers them unlimited opportunies for both.. from eric hoffer, the true believer.. i'm trying to make sense out of all this hatred going on around the world, where the innocent ones are trapped in the middle and suffering great pain and loss of lives because of hatred.. can you make any sense out of all this hatred?.

Blondie's "...Comments..." thread made me think
by robhic inin blondie's excellent, as usual, "comments you won't hear..." thread i happened to look up the 1 corinthians 7:27 cite at the top about "time being shortened.".
as i read further, i came upon the verse at 1 co 7:36. i used the "compare" function of my esword electronic bible program and look at these results between these different versions of the bible:.
(asv) but if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward his virgin daughter, if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth not; let them marry.

Do you think people take the bible too seriously?
by dustyb ini know the bible has a lot of important lessons in it, but such a controversial book that is likely changed and such is quite a bit to live your life by.
i mean, how do you know that daniel wasn't a constant opium user?
or how do you know that the bible is complete?
