Press TV: Senator Obama talks about change but of course he has courting Wall Street as well as the Israeli lobby - do you see any prospect of change with him as president?

Gore Vidal: Not really. I don't doubt his good faith, just as I do not doubt the bad faith of Cheney and Bush.

It seems odd that Vidal ascribes vast evil powers to Bush/Cheney, but no power to Obama as president... while at the same not not questioning Obama's good faith, and quickly changing the subject back to the evilness of Bush/Cheney.

If the presidency goes to whomever is strong and wily enough to steal it, and Obama wins the presidency, there is an obvious logical disconnect for those who believe that Obama is different, more noble, etc. than his predecessors.

So would that be neolib propaganda?

Or does it not rise to that level until we're talking about reptilians in human clothing?

Does anyone remember the pic about the apostates at end of 1000 yrs.....

by chrisjoel in

jw

it was a picture about those who would take a final stand against the new world order like a camp outside of the true worshippers.

so satan would be let loose for a little period and then anyone who agrees with satan ...ends up looking like keith richards with earings and is deserving of death.. anyone remember the pic?.

Them apostates are wielding some scary-looking batons. They could put an eye out.

You'd think that the tall guy would have been fingered as an apostate long before this, when he first started to grow the goatee. Everyone knows that in the New System, facial hair only grows on murmurers.

The short mongoloid in front of him has taken off his tie and used it as a headband. He looks like he used to be middle management back in the old system.

The guy in the lower left corner, I'm pretty sure, is stoned and supports the concept of "rock".

Note that the head at the bottom middle of the page is not looking the same way as the mob, not looking to attack. Rather, he is eying up the dude in the red sweater. So keep in mind, you don't have to be an opposer to be destroyed... if 1,000 years hasn't cured you of your gayness you're just as doomed.

Can we really blame the mob for turning violent after 1,000 years of being forced to wear collared shirts?

And I never saw this before, but what is with the creepy ghostly face in between two of the dragon heads?

Few Jehovah's Witnesses bother to GRASP THEIR OWN THEOLOGY!!!

by Terry in

keep this one fact in mind about jehovah's witnesses.

they exist in three parts throughout their history.. 1. honest bible students attracted to the gimmicks of russell (charts, graphs, chronologies, pyramid inches, etc.

) expected the end of the world to come and they wanted to know more.. 2.contrarian hard heads under rutherford wanted to prove everybody was wrong about everything except themselves.

I'd go a step further and say that few Witnesses are aware of (a) the meaning of the word "theology," and (b) the fact that they have one.

Thanks Lance, looking forward to Part 2.

You came off as very non-apostatish, that is, I didn't detect any foaming at the mouth or hear demonic echoes while you were speaking.

Really, you didn't say much that any witness could object to. Which is good.
