Magnum P.I. is on a list of shows produced by Chad Larson that made the 80's a great time to own a tv. I love the show and T.C. is a great character.

Woke Up Feeling Poetic, so an ExJW Poem
by Simon income here you heavy hearted who departed from the truth your youth and family trapped you in.. no need to fear that armageddons near and you will be forgotten as a rotten failure to your kin.. the freedom that you took is nothing that a crusty book can ever realistically replace.. so stand up tall, tell all who need to hear that it is them who fear to look you in the face..

Well done, Simon. A powerful poem indeed. I appreciate your prose.
I do believe it is they would both cower in shame and look away in fear. Shunning is not love. The thought that we are right burns like a hot ember in the back of their brain. "What if he's right?" is the background noise of their lives.

If that concept were true here's the way to settle it. Have Jehovah and Satan rule over their own earth in the mirror universe or multiverse. (Star trek and marvel reference) and let the result prove itself With an equal playing field!
This idea makes real sense. It is a true experiment with parameters. It follows the scientific method and is therefor unbiased.

3 years in the making
by Judgerussellford inthursday while i was at work, a new elder stopped by the house (almost 3 years after fading) to encourage us to go back to meetings.
said everyone misses us.
if you did, why not stop by and say hi every now and then?

If you go through with it be sure to answer their questions as U.S. Congressmen do.
Elder: Do you believe this is the one, true religion?
You: Brother, that information is a matter of public record.

According to Christian myth, God doesn't have to do anything. He is the sovereign over all the universe. He makes the rules and he punishes those according to his wants and desires if those roles are violated. It's all his choice.
This is why none of it makes sense. What exactly are the perimeters of this great experiment?

Here is my opinion on the topic of disassociation within the Jehovah's Witness religion - Don't do it!
When I stopped being one of Jehovah's Witnesses I was done with the practices and beliefs. Disassociation is a Jehovah's Witness practice. It is their game. It is their rules.
Don't play their game. Don't play by their rules. Disassociation is a form of acknowledging their religion and authority.

A new generation of anointed that will not pass away.
by Fisherman inobviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.

The Great Tribulation already happened. 70 C.E. was it. Nearly 2,000 years later and Jesus still hasn't returned. Probably because he never was going to return and the Apostles inserted that part in their new religion.
"This generation will by no means pass away..."
It passed away nearly 20 centuries ago.

Translation: "You should be attended meetings in person...where there are conveniently located contribution boxes to the World Wide Work."
Zoom proved that you can have meetings, even question and answer parts, without physically being present.

Do you think the Watchtower is right about about eternal punishment of the wicked?
by Vanderhoven7 inatheists believe death is the end of personal existence.
but for those who believe there is life after death, what do you think is the nature of final punishment?
in other words do you agree with the atheists and the watchtower society or is there eternal ongoing conscious punishment awaiting the wicked.

Hell, or at least the concept of it is an instrument of social control to make the rich, richer and the poor, poorer.
That pretty much describes all theistic religion.
Door #1 - There is an all powerful being that punishes us after our body dies by sending our non-corporal self to a place of eternal damnation. So do what you are told or feel his wrath.
Door # 2 - Do what is both beneficial to yourself and to others because it creates peace and harmony. Failure to do so creates suffering and disharmony. The power is within you.
I'll gladly choose door number 2 as that is door to righteousness. Door number 1 is a door of coercion and self-servitude.
In order for a reward or a punishment to be eternal it must have no start or no end. By very definition anything eternal has no beginning or end. Nothing a person could ever do in a lifespan of 80 or 90 years would reasonably warrant being punished for all eternity. Any person who would do such a thing lacks wisdom and compassion.

I am an atheist. I do not believe that death is the end anymore than birth is the beginning.
Do some serious historical research on the origins of "hell". The Jews adopted the belief of the afterlife after being conquered by the Greeks. The church did not adopt the teaching of hellfire until some 500 years after its creation.
