  If God exists and ordered a Purge how would you react?

  by sabastious in

  the reason why god killed everyone in the days of noah was because of the demons who came to earth.

  according to the story their direct presence and impact on us had a poisening effect.

  we became corrupted and god felt the need for a total purge.. that's what the witnesses say is happening today.

  Regarding Moses and the Burning Bush--don't you think maybe, just maybe, Moses was smoking something and it was dry season and POOF! There went the bush and he had to come up with a story. The man did seem full of himself. Just sayin'.

  I don't want to live with a psycho ruler up in the sky who decides that *now* is the time to *purge* and just wipe out people.

  That said, if he decides I get to live, will he let me pick who I want to purge? There are some people still alive I really, really don't like.

  And I wouldn't bother asking why he spared me. I'd know why.

  Isn't Ambien what that Kennedy dude (Patrick Kennedy) used when he slept walked, drove somewhere, crashed into a tree and blamed it on Ambien? He was a US Congressman at the time. I believe it is the *Ambien* defense if you do something really stupid in the middle of the night.

  I like Lunesta. Lets me sleep for 5-7 hours when I need to. Not too groggy the next morning.

  The "Ambien defense" is starting to rear its ugly head, thanks, in part, to Rep. Patrick Kennedy's nighttime excursion around Capitol Police barricades in Washington, DC. True to form, the Kennedy's dodged potential legal ramifications for their actions with clever lawyers and the novel notion that "the Ambien made him do it" as an excuse for getting behind the wheel of a 2,000 lb automobile and nearly mowing down a Capitol Police officer.

  They Gotta Know They are Running a Cult - a Rant

  by OnTheWayOut in

  i go back and forth on this one.

  do the governing body members or some higher-ups behind the curtain of the wizard really know they are running a scam of a dangerous mind-control cult?

  or are they victims of their own cult?

  My sister is dying and extremely ill. I don't know if she'll ever leave the hospital and make it home. My Mom's response? To my openly Atheist, JW loathing sister:

  "It's OK to die. You'll be resurrected and be perfect. You'll have a perfect body. Perfect face. Perfect hair. You'll be 35. Just think, you will be perfect and in the New System."

  I ripped into my mom and told her in no uncertain terms she was a fucking idiot and no one is going to be resurrected and that anyone who believes that shit is a total, complete tool.

  Her response? She was almost hysterical as she said it:

  "I believe it. It's true. It's true. She will be 35 and perfect. She'll have perfect hair. Perfect teeth. Perfect body." She went into a Jehovah loves us, etc. rant. We got into a verbal battle.

  So, first off, how did she come up with this age? Why 35. Why the focus on *Perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect body*.

  I know my mom has issues with this kind of stuff, however, this is overboard.

  I told her if she mentioned this kind of stuff with me in the hospital room I will wrestle her to the ground and physically assualt her.

  She has become a brain-dead drone for these fucking Wizards. If I saw them on the street I might run them over. The GB that is. I-Hate-Them.

  I'm really sorry your friends cousin died.

  Your Mom sounds exactly like mine.

  And lots of JWs if you think about it. They make snarky comments about Worldlies. Who aren't up to their standard. Then turn around and tout their superior Christ-like qualities. <puke>

  Your Mom is no different than many of our Mom's. Mine included.

  by wasblind in

  1) i think it's ridiculous to tell anyone when and how to use something they paid for ( computers and internet service ).

  2) i think it's ridiculous to tell married couples how to act in the bedroom.

  3) i think it's ridiculous to tell people what kinda cars they should buy ( 4 door for fieldservice ).

  That anyone stays in this repressive cult.

  That women stay in subjection to their men.

  That men think handling a microphone is an honor.

  That people think that they are never going to have to brush or floss their teeth in the New System. (think about it)
