i never realized that rabies is the deadliest of all virusus worldwide; every year it's responsible for the deaths of 60,000 people, and untold animal death and suffering.. http://www.horizonhealth.eu/article/deadliest-viral-disease-we-know/306.

this virus has been afflicting human and animal life on this planet since the dawn of time.

how could anyone love a god who created this this tool of immense suffering?.

so two big changes in the org were announced in the most recent agm.. local needs part is replaced by "how do you know the truth" where all members will tell their experience (oh what fun).

basic pioneer role 10 only hours a month required (see, jehovah lightens our load, therefore he loves only us)!.

it seems like they have really turned up the heat here.

Are first world countries to blame for the bulk of third world squalor?
by tootired2care in
1. social
2. current
throughout several past threads various posters have emphatically made the point that countries like great britian, united states, france etc.

basically countries where white people exist, are to blame for the poverty in many other third world nations.

some have even went so far as to suggest that the first world is to blame for all third world conditions.. i often see excuses such as these for why a country refuses to provide clean water, some food and basic sanitation for its people:.

WTS governing body changes - how have all those claiming to be anointed been exposed as liars?
by tootired2care in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in juan viejo2s recent thread about district overseer and other changes coming this bit was quite intriguing to me.. the governing body will be expanded to 12 to better match the biblical magic number of apostles, tribes of israel, etc.

that will also reset the 'magic number' to 8 needed to get a majority vote to make a doctrinal change.... one of my friends suggests that "annointed" will become synomous with "appointed.

" if a brother is "appointed" to the governing body, then the logic is that he has automatically been "annointed" by holy spirit and would therefore be considered to be part of the 144k.. .

for the last several years a number of things have been coalescing to make deeper space exploration and colonization possible and even feasible.

big things are in the works such as:.

Have you grown detached from caring about JW family and old friends?

after being out of the borg for a year and a half, weve dealt with a lot of nonsense from local elders stopping by unannounced, well-meaning do-gooders trying to encourage us.

somehow weve managed to get through this without getting dfd/dad.

for me the worst part of it all has been that much of my family has shunned me, and stopped talking to me, as soon as they heard through the grapevine that i wasnt going to meetings.

at that time those slain by the lord will be everywherefrom one end of the earth to the other.

they will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.
