Everyone who disagrees with me is closed-minded

Why are letters from John and Paul included in the Bible?
by Lore ini don't see much difference between paul writing a letter to the corinthian congregation and the gb writing a letter to the timbucktoo congregation.. is what paul wrote to the ephesians just as fallible and subject to 'new light' as the letters the wts writes to congregations today?.
if a letter from the governing body today which says it's immoral to have an organ transplant can be dead wrong and changed later.
can the letter from paul which says it's wrong to eat blood be dead wrong and subject to change later?.

What good is punishment after you die?
by Lore inwhen your child disobeys, you punish him.
simple answer: so he will listen next time and won't disobey again.. if the child has a learning disorder and is incapable of learning from the punishment, odds are you will stop punishing him and will deal with his condition in other ways.. we punish children in order to change their behavior.
if the punishment does not promote a change in behavior the punishment is useless and possibly evil.. .

Ugly people and crimes.
by Lore ini like to think that i'm perfectly rational at all times.. so in the interest of making myself more awesome i'd like to admit to and try to to fix a prejudice i think i may have.
but i'd also like to make sure it's not grounded in reality.. .
so earlier i saw a story about a woman who killed her baby in the microwave.

Going to start talking figuratively now. . .
by Lore ini think from now on i should just start talking figuratively whenever i want.. but i'm not gonna tell you when i'm talking figuratively.
you'll just have to figure it out.. .
so in some other thread if you see me talking about the time i smothered a 2 year old i was babysitting, you'll have to guess whether i'm being literal or not.. and when i tell the tale about the time i laughed so hard i shot pepsi out my nose, i could be serious, or i could be being figurative.. and if i say that i'm a 32 year old billionaire heart surgeon with a third arm that helps me with surgury.
