A sad thought
by dgp inyesterday afternoon, the sad thought popped into my mind that, apparently, some witnesses could be made to believe anything provided it appears on the magazines.
if they said that accepting blood is now ok, many would take transfusions, and that would sort of make sense.
but if they also said that hell is a physical place after all, many would accept that, too.

Dearest Bluegrass...
by AGuest inmay you have peace!.
i read your thread(s) regarding the... ummmmm... "unsavory" posts that appear here from time to time.
while i don't share some's, er, "taste" for such things, i must say that i do find your statement regarding "punishing" and "banning" folks, well, curious, if not actually funny.

Are their d2d presentations good enough to convert?
by highdose ini remember asking a uber dub i was on the fs with " if you were the hh would you want to know more after listening to your presentation?
" she addmitted that no, she wouldn't have wanted to listen further.. so basicly the fs is really quite useless?
the jws doing it mostly have neither the skills nor interest to make a hh want to listen.

Biblical Creation vs Darwinism vs Young Earth "Creationism" - "Remain Close to Jehovah"
by losthusband indon't know if anyone has seen this....... .
biblical creation vs darwinism vs young earth "creationism" - "remain close to jehovah" - youtube video posted by a jw from the recent convention.. it might just be me, but in the middle section does the guy say that jws should seek out knowledge.
and then say that jehovah has given them all the knowledge they need in awake magazines.. not much seeking required there.....try going to library......ooops forgot... they would find out the real truth then!!.

Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity - Mormons and Catholics
by donny ini was looking at some clips of glenn beck and sean hannity over the weekend and i notice how much they admire each others religion.
when sean talks about mitt romney or glenn beck, he mentions that they are great men who love the lord and are examples of "great americans".. then you have glenn beck talking about a recent trip to the vatican where he felt gods presence and even had a person there tell him that "we know you are and what you are doing is terribly important.".
what is so funny is that if you visit websites of the mentioned religions, they do not view the other as "good.

Eternal life for flesh and blood creatures
by donny ini was explaining the basic teachings to a non-witness coworker the other day and we began talking about the incident in the garden of eden.
i told him that according to the society, if adam and eve had not sinned, the world today would be full of perfect human beings who never die.. he then asked "what about the animal kingdom?
would they be mortal and grow old and die and if so, how would god explain that to humans?".
