i'm an avid reader of steve wells' blog on religion and atheism.

this article discusses the hebrew god (we all know him as joe hoobie) and his propensity for burning people to death.

What if its OK for only GOD to burn ppl to death. People that He deems are wicked. Surely since he is GOD it would be perfectly Ok for him to burn to death ppl that are wicked. We wouldnt want wicked ppl to be walking around with ppl that arent wicked would we? Wouldnt that be in our best intrests?

Leviticus 20:14 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)

14And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness and an outrageous offense; all three shall be burned with fire, both he and they [after being stoned to death], that there be no wickedness among you.

I seem to remember the Society trying to embed the thought that burning anyone with fire, is a thought that Never would have come up in Jehovahs heart..(Isaiah?) Go figure.

More CRAP from CHINA

chinese-made automobile tire valve stems are failing due to manufacturing defect.

as many as 70,000,000 may have been sold to the us.

chrisjoel

This is almost unbelievable. Those tire valves were made by industrious chinamen under penalty of death. I find it to be highly irregular. It must be a silent protest of some kind.

How did you handle facing the reality of death?

by song19 in

jw
friends

for those raised or who got the truth at a young age, how have you been able to handle the reality that you are in fact, eventually, going to die in this system?.

for me, this was a real hard reality check.

as a witness, my entire life i was convinced that i would see armageddon, that i wouldnt grow old and die.

chrisjoel

Glad you asked this.

I think about it all the time. To stop breathing. Not to breath. What the HELL is That like? Once i realized that i wasnt going to live forever on a paradise earth...slowly it creeped upon me ..the realization that this IS real .Im gona freakn DIE and theres NOt a dam stinkin thing i can do about it. HOLY shit MAN!!!...so....when i see that a football player who is 43 yrs old like me just suddenly died of a heart attack..That Freaks ME the HELL out!!!!...Why do so many ppl die in their early 40s? Thats bullshit man they should die when their 80 or 92 or 105 but not in their early 40s!!!!!! ..........anyways.....i hate thinking about it.

but you know what feaks me out just as much? The day i get a call from my mom saying..." Your Father just died" or from my father saying "your mom is gone".......Jesus Christ what the hell is that day going to be like?...So I dont know. Lots of ppl say this is just a journey. We live on. We DO have an immortal soul and its conscious and we can chose to leave this realm after death or we can stay and be a spirit here still longing for our loved ones..What a pathetic sad state of affairs that we dont know.

I think the fact that we dont know is cause We just die. I hope when i die its while i sleep. I go to sleep every night for a long time and its almost like dying ..im not conscious im breathing but im not aware. So if i die during my sleep I figure by the time im old i can deal with it much better than Now while i still want to have tons of sex, tons of Ice cream, and lots of bottles of Southern Comfort.

So death ..go fuck yourself right now.

Zany Questions from Board Members to Wacky Terry

okay, go ahead and make my day: ask me anything!.

Although his theory about an invisible Jesus was wrong in the late 1870's, and even though his theory that the end of all nations would arrive in 1914 was fatally flawed, since 1914 was actually the year WW1 started, does CT Russell deserve any credit for chosing 1914 at the very least as the start of WW1, 30 some odd yrs in advance, perhaps, in as much as "the wrong thing happened at the right time" ?
