Oh grow up.
The title of this thread is borderline hate crime stuff and close to the WT's "mentally diseased" stuff.
Somebody report it.
If the WT said something like this there would be uproar.
i'm not sure if this is a controversial subject or not, i suspect it is, the 1936-1945 nazi regime were the most evil b*****d's in the world and thankfully were destroyed, however the jehovah's witnesses having sufffered under their rule, then became even more evil not by destroying the person's physical life, but destroying their way to god, if a person leaves then they become dead to god, and this from a second rate publishing company!
please don't think i'm being flippant about all the suffering and death the nazi's caused, but as we are most of us spiritual people, surely the witnesses caused a catastrophy in the post 1945 era.. best regards,.

just recently the org has changed the literature distribution to the congregation members.. the changes are:.
1) publishers are to pick-up their mag's weekly in preparation for what they think they will use that week.
2) group conductors shall now distribute the study article of the wt, and the km.. wonder why they have changed this?.
Soon the study edition will arrive in sealed packs. They will be guarded by 4 attendants. Opened during the song after the Public Talk. Distributed to people they recognise. Collected afterwards and counted in. No-one will be allowed to leave if the can't account for them all. They will then be destroyed.
They will love this because it will fuel conspiracy theories about apostates, reinforce their seige mentality, make the local elders and attendants feel important and convince them that the Great Tribulation is near.
finally, after 35 years without a trophy !.

champions league next season and an owner with deep pockets - i wonder what the squad will look like and how far they can go?!.
I also think it's disgraceful that City have fans who don't live in Manchester

Sorry must have missed this while celebrating Uniteds 19th Title.
Was there another game or something on Saturday afternoon?
just spoke to someone who has recently been df'd and they told me that they can sit anywhere instead of just at the back.. when did they change this?.
or is it just a local quirk?.
i've not heard this one before .
Hi
Just spoke to someone who has recently been DF'd and they told me that they can sit anywhere instead of just at the back.
When did they change this?
Or is it just a local quirk?
I've not heard this one before . . .

5 what good results there can be when.
children are trained to keep a simple eye!.
What gets me about this is the totally crazy perspective they have which makes them think that this is an experience to be highlighted.
The rest of 'the world' would think it was either crazy or despicable.
Recently I heard an almost identical account from the totally opposite perspective. A young African woman was on a platform, in front of a large gathering of church people. The interview with her was included in an item on some church missionary work in Africa. The girl was one of their success stories. She had become attached to the mission project (a water project I think) attended the school that they had set up for the locals, shown great promise in her education, been flown out to the UK where she had gone through university and now was going back to her country where she was going to continue the work that she had benefitted from.
THAT seemed to be something worth praising.
It also seemed to have a point.
i've only recently (within the last year) started listening to christian music.
some of it is pretty cheesey, but i'm getting into a lot of it.
right now i really like brandon heath and casting crowns.
Yeah

Guess
we have many interesting debates and discussions on this board between members on both sides of the god/nogod divide.. most of us seem to be quite reasonable, and accept and respect differing points of views.. others, a small minority here, dismiss the opposite side as deluded or evil.
it strikes me that it takes a large amount of mental certainty to do this.. we all have reaped the fruits of such certainty in these matters during our sojourn in the jehovah's witnesses.. this essayist, neuroscientist and fiction writer david eagleman, takes a different view.
as you know, i am a believer in god.
Have to agree - this is surely just agnosticism which is nothing new.
Which is fine by me
