once i was talking to myself: religions are all about sacrifices (and rituals), viewing god as a means to get forgiveness of sins and material benefits, and bible is no exception.
yet the foundation of the universe is on the never-failing principle of cause and consequences, something which god will never violate.
forgiveness of sins is a violation of principle of cause and consequencessomething that bible itself ironically upholds in galatians 6:7 and in many other verses!
That's a nice bunch of unattributed quotes there (your usual MO). They are also out of context.
Do you know what a logical fallacy is? You seem to use them like magic markers to construct a reality to your liking instead of the one that is right there in front of you. You come here to preach and not to learn, which cult is it you joined on leaving the JWs?

Simon, if i click on a users ID like Dings above there is no option to send them a PM anywhere that I can see, so it looks like sending someone a PM (not a reply) is not available.
if I click into my own messages again there is no option to send one to anyone unless it is a reply to an existing message. Also I can only see my Inbox nothing i have sent.

i have just watched this movie not realising it is based on an autobiography of a real life navy seal .a man who did 4 tours overseas .he is officially recognised as killing 164 ?
people , i think he claimed about 200+.
i havent read the book , i have only seen the movie and of course they take libertys their in what they portray ,clint eastwood had his fingerprint on it .. the movie portrayed him as an all american boy , a patriot who would fight tooth and nail for his country and his comrades .spoiler....... it is ironic that he was murdered with a gun , by a fellow war veteran who he was trying to help.. i would love to hear your responses to this post .
I've seen it, yep it was very ironic how he died.
I think Clint did a reasonably balanced job between showing the nature of warfare and not glorifying it too much.
i am not a jw ...however i began having bible studies (i d call them watchtower studies).
i was beginning to get lured in and brainwashed into accepting the religion as the true religion...but something inside of me told me there was something odd.
some time passes and i was invited to a meeting and i accepted.
@mikeypants
Me too.
i have a good life and i am now worth around 3 million us.
my two children have their university degrees and a promising future.
what should i do with my money?
When you die or now?
Live a little or a lot now, but make some provision for the kids eh? Leaving them nothing would be unkind unless you have little or poor contact.
however, they may have missed their window for the appeal being 6 months after the commission said they would investigate them last june.

Imagine how that would wash if a JW under investigation for wrongdoing by 2 designated elders appeals the investigation proceedure.
yeah, that would work...
warning: poes law may apply.
i just wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that all muslims are good people.
"real" muslims would never kill in the name of their religion .
All the costing given in that article are for the litigious USA. We are not talking about the USA.
Even if a death penalty trial does cost a bit more, you arent then paying hundreds of thousands per year looking after them until they die in possibly 40 or 50 years time.
