  this was a cartoon i saw in the sunday paper today.

  it's a strip called "non sequitur" done by wiley miller.

  the strip is very long so it doesn't ever all fit in the scan.

  another strange quote.

  i found another strange quote (the other one is located in satan's gospel) in the finished mystery:.

  *** the finished mystery 296-7 (not yet on cd-rom) *** .

  that the lord made no mistake in selecting the locust as a symbol of the methodist system of blindly following leaders is clear from the following extract ()these locusts always hopped straight ahead, deviating neither to the right nor left, and on coming to a house went up its stone walls, over it and down it, as if it were a level place, and in such inconceivable numbers that an american resident described the noise of the great host passing over the roof as like to that of a tremendous hailstorm.

  cellomould,

  The first year of publication is 1917. If you can get a copy of this book do so! It is the most outrages book ever published by the WTS. you could also check the web, it is public domain. I got mine from the web and checked later with someone who had a hard copy of this gem.

  Greven.

  ps U_r, do you think this could happen to the WTS also?

  So you can see as the end never comes and the faithful cannot bear to wait any longer even the most rigid of religions can relax.

  crisis of conscience has just been delivered by mail to my office.

  i wouldn't dare let it be delivered to home in case my wife found out.. i am still "in", so the question is, should i read it?

  and if so, are my days as a jw numbered?.

  Simply read it with an open mind.

  Some have read it and stayed in. Most however left after reading it. it is really up to you. investigate everything, hold fast to what is fine.

  But, most of all: enjoy reading it.

  ....in the organization, that you had?

  did you enjoy being a pioneer or elder?

  did you feel that you "were just a publisher"?

  No.

  Because I do not like the idea of mariage anyway. I could, and did quite a few times, fall in love with someone from a different race. I really do not see what the problem would be... love has nothing to do with nationality, beliefs etc etc.

  Yizuman,

  I can't believe you said this:

  As for the atheists, they've always been around for centuries and always will be around. I would really hate to watch them stand before God on judgement day and be judged for rejecting God and the Gospel of Christ. I would hate to watch them be tossed into the lake of fire where they will burn forever and never die.

  Would YOU burn someone forever for not believing in you? Would YOU torture someone for eternity because of the sins of a few years? I think most people can't and wouldn't. However, an entity that claims to be LOVE itself would do something like that to, possibly, millions?!

  Sadly enough, I know parents that hit their children as punishment, but I know none that would torture their children for their mistakes no matter how hardheaded and severe these mistakes may be. But The Loving Father has no problem with this...?!

  Gimme a break!

  Where does the light shine brightest?

  you just know there's going to be trouble when there's a preface of apology to the many christians i'm about to insult.

  i really don't mean to (honest t' god), but i can't express myself around it and still make sense.

  the only reconciliation i can offer is just know that everything i say here can, to some degree -- be applied and insulting to jews and moslems as well.

  James,

  I fully agree with you. the average human being has better morals than the god depicted in the bible.

  sad but true.
