What if they did something useful?
by tergiversator ini posted this in response to a thread by nojw86 on h2o and thought i'd see what people here thought about it.... what if the witnesses did something useful for a change?.
just think what they could accomplish, if all the effort spent writing about antitypical fulfilments of obscure psalms was spent writing magazines to educate people about, say, health and sanitation.
if, instead of full-color books on dubious details of daniel's prophecies, they printed full-color textbooks on real history, science, literature, mathematics, etc., for distribution to areas where books aren't so easy to come by.

The eventuality of man is the same as animals
by OlderTom inwas it ezicle who said the eventuality of man is the same as for the animal, as one dies so does the other.
or something like that.. man has to die because he sinned, that's the price one has to pay.
what sins have animals committed?

An eye for an eye?
by expatbrit ini was reading about how an internet company wants to transmit timothy mcveigh's execution over the internet on a pay-per-view basis.. it disturbed me that society appears to be drifting backwards in this regard, that not only are there people who want to make money from this situation, there are also many people apparently willing to view it for entertainment purposes.. of course, nothing would pack in the historical crowds like a public execution.
but the gradual enlightenment of society made public executions a footnote of history, and the death penalty appeared to be following.. and that made me consider what my attitude is to the death penalty itself.. in wt land the death penalty is considered to be "divine justice".
the bible brims to the covers with accounts of executions using the most excrutiating methods, such as stoning.

I'm curious
by teejay into all loyal jehovah's witnesses:.
the bible says that at the mouth of three witnesses let every matter be firmly established.
so i'm curious... if you had to choose only three, what three things about the watchtower society and/or it's teachings convinces you beyond any doubt that jehovah's witnesses has the truth about the bible and is the sole representative of jehovah on earth today?.
