Little children deserve to die at Armageddon
by jambon1 infor the life of me, i cannot work this one out.
it disturbed me when i was a jw and it now just makes me plain angry.. here are some comments from ministerial servants & elders on this subject, which i heard when i was in:.
"you know, a while ago, people used to object to the idea of children dying at armageddon but nowadays there is a spirit in kids (massive generalisation), which just seems to make them fit for destruction.

What ignorance
by Norm inlook at this quote from the watchtower society website:.

Christianity - a thoroughly pagan religion
by Norm init is quite amusing to read watchtower publications where they with badly hidden scorn criticizes the catholics for willfully adopting pagan holidays and customs into christianity.. pagan beliefs christianized.
*** w84 4/1 p. 9 insight on the news *** in a.d. 601, pope gregory the first, known as gregory the great, issued an edict to his missionaries concerning the native beliefs and customs of the peoples he hoped to convert, states a recent issue of natural history magazine.
instead of trying to obliterate peoples customs and beliefs, the popes instructions were, use them.

Why all the Athiest/Christian bashing?
by AK - Jeff ini know i am different than many, and though i accept christianity, i just don't understand the constant debate and haggle over the matter.
not a week goes by without one side starting a fight with the other, then the other retorts with it's position.
lots of wordsmiths appear and try to reason above the other persons head, and make naked accusations about an entire class of persons unknown.

Jehovah Reveals
by Norm inthe watchtower society has a long history of failed predictions and flip/flop teachings.. this is rather strange considering their bold claims of having this unique direct line to the almighty.
there seem to be no end to what jehovah reveals to the guys in brooklyn.
the watchtower magazine never tires of reminding its readers of this remarkable connection.. in the beginning russell had adopted a chronology involving dates like 1799, the beginning of the end, 1874, jesus parousia or invisible return, 1914, the end of this system.

by Zico ini heard a new teaching from the public talk today that i'd never heard before.
the speaker asked a rhetorical question, asking if jehovah would be evil for killing 6 billion people during armageddon?
