My Book of Bible Stories - Why did I hate it? Well because the "artwork" was so embarrassingly bad. Seriously, what were they thinking when the let that one out the door?
Proving that the only taste some people have is in their mouth.
i gather from my other thread that many liked the creation books, the mankind search for god book, the greatest man book and the ministry school book.. but which book did you absolutely detest?.
here is mine:.
i thought it was a vile, hate filled book!.

"anyone who actually knows the real reason for the personal visits to our neighbor's homes, knows it to be based on love.
love in imitation of that which jesus had in his own ministry.
the same one he taught his disciples to follow.
Ya' know, some of them actually believe it's LOVE that motivates them, that's how messed up they are. The don't even know what real love is.
the united states is more lenient than most countries when it comes to hate speech and allowing organised religions to have their way, even when they hurt others.
however, there are limits.
i found a federal law that seems strangely relevant to recent watchtower articles that labels former members as "mentally diseased" and discuss the "slaughter of apostates".
If you want to be really edgy, why not also bring up the WT's published anti-gay statements. That is always an easy button to push and very Politically Correct!

i was a hair away from telling my wife i never wanted to go to the kingdom hall again after today's watchtower.
the conductor mentioned something along the lines of..."if you think having to shun your disfellowshipped children is bad...you should read up on the israelites.
when one of their children was disobedient to the law, they had to take the before the judges so that they could be stoned to death...and guess who's job it was throw the first stone?".
The Law was a tutor, leading us to Christ. Christ was the end of the Law.
Whatever happened to Jesus counsel at John 8:11: "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way; from now on practice sin no more."
an italian attorney and priest published accusations that jehovah's witnesses are a pseudoreligious sect and among secret societies that entrap people.
jehovah's witnesses in italy took legal action due to the nature of the defamatory statements.
the venice court of appeals, 17 july 1997, having overruled an earlier court decision favorable to the defendants, found said defendants guilty: both of the published articles in question contain expressions and phrases that are certainly capable of damaging the reputation of the followers of the religion of jehovah's witnesses.
Wobble is exactly right. This is a typical WT "lawyering" tactic, respond by changing the subject.
It's very telling that Mr. Fenton chose to comment on the right of an individual to leave --which was never the issue--rather than on whether or not the WT's treatment of those exercising their individual rights should be shunned and libeled as "mentally diseased."

To Teary: "The guy cherry picks," ... hmmm. I guess it'd take one to know one.
Me, I'm just PLUM tired of this nonsense. I'm taking my ball and going home.
See ya'

Sorry all for the multiple posts. Must be the same Demunz that erased mine a few days back making up for lost time.

@ jmorgan74: That's so totally what he would say.
Ok. But you didn't answer my question and so, um, I ask again, who is Greg Stafford? And why should I care?
@ Teary Oberon: you may enjoy this thread regarding that particular Bible verses in question:
