for some strange reason, these really crack me up.
although, i am starting to wonder if reading the watchtower and awake!
is really equal to a college education.
I'm a college student studing other religions.
Yeah, I liked that one too. Sure "Mrs. X", sure you are.
This one is great too:
Anyhow, my JW friend was in hospital, no one forced her not to have blood,Oh, you're not a Witness, your friend is. Sorry honey, but Witnesses don't have "worldly" friends. LIAR!!!

Yeah, my favorite is the guy at the bottom, who says "This is wrong!". And then gives the book five stars! Whaaa!?!?
in last nights episode of the simpsons, homer goes to see the movie "left below", and subsequently becomes obsessed with the rapture.
when they show an equation he's working on to determine when it will come, one of the numbers is 144,000!.
do any other religions besides the witnesses and adventists use that number?
Oops, I Just noticed that someone already started a thread about this yesterday.
D'oh!
personally, i have nothing against executing wanton murderers.
I'm suprised that sixsixsixtynine feels the way he does coming from Texas.
Well I'm originally from Seattle, and now live Austin, which is much different than the rest of Texas.
Hope that clarifies things a little.
FUN FACT: Since reinstituting the death penalty in 1976, the US has executed 973 people. 345 of those were in Texas!

minimus, I'm sure they're are many things we would agree on.
Although, obviously this subject is not one of them.

Let's say my daughter gets abducted, raped, tortured, mutilated and beaten to death from a killer. ALL the EVIDENCE PROVES he was the one. HE even admits it (because the evidence is overwhelming) and states that if he's not executed, he will kill again in prison or if he can ever get out, he'll rape and gleefully kill again.
You really think that's a believable scenario?
How many times do you think a case with all the factors you mention has happened?

I thought Spock said that in "Wrath of Khan"?
Whatever. It was some fictional character that said it.

With all due respect minimus, that's a very unlikely scenario.
But, you know what? If someone I cared about was brutally murdered, I would probably want to see the person responsible killed.
But it wouldn't really matter what I wanted at that moment, because in the big picture I think capitol punishment is bad for society
Like Jesus said "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few".

Ah. Killing is not wrong at times, imho.
Remember, we're not talking about self-defense. We're debating premeditated execution, either by the state or an individual.
