  Interesting accidental circumstances

  interesting accidental circumstances .

  have anybody but me been wondering why so many people and new posters pop up from nowhere the last weeks, attacking all and everyone?

  i find this interesting; since its obvious the attackers do have a special agenda.

  Hi Kent,
  I want to respond to your good ideas with some observations I have. Please understand I am writing this with a constructive intent.

  >What is even MORE interesting is the fact that the most spiteful people seems to be “good Christians”, with the “love for their next man” as a priority! Can anyone spell hypocrites?

  You toss that word (hypocrite) around but it applies to everyone, some worse than others, as we perceive them. Does our "love for the next man" mean we take abusive language, blasphemy of God, etc by laying down and not protesting? You forget, one must also be ready to defend the faith and Jesus did that in righteious anger at times.

  >There is one thing we can all be sure of – the only ones having anything to gain from this quarrelling is the Watchtower and their goons.

  I agree with this but.......why do you insist on offending people, Kent? You claim it is your right to do so under, "free speech", then you whine about being attacked and you have started the argument to begin with! Your Hitler/God tagline is offensive to me for example.

  >They can – rightfully, I might add – laugh about how easy it is to trick “the apostates”. Since there is some rather important things going on at the moment – if anyone should have missed it – I personally finds it a shame to let the Watchtower-goons have their way that easy.

  I agree with the intent of your post. If the unbelievers would lighten up on the generalized Bible and Christian bashing you'd have less arguments. I get tired of explaining to people that we each answer to our Lord by our own actions and human organizations are not "Christianity". Hey, there are believers and non-believers but this forum is an example of true apostasy gone wild at times.

  >Maybe we should think twice before answering hateful postings, maybe we should think twice before we make the negative threads the most debated threads. Maybe we should deny the Watchtower the delight of making us look like idiots!

  I wholeheartedly agree. Perhaps all of us can be mindful of the feelings of others. I know its difficult, the first reaction from 'dubs when you critisize the Society is "you hate us".
  What happens to me is my threads get hijacked by jerks who want to flame me for being a Christian. Look at my posts and you will see who they are. Yes, I have come on too strong at times. I have really returned some of the flaming and probably too much.
  Not perfect, never will be till I get to Glory.

  Hi Kent,
  You should do these type of posts more often!

  >I'm sure Kevin and Melissa will forgive him," said May Long, a Jehovah's Witness from Monrovia. "He was very mentally ill."

  Actually, there is no need to qualify forgiveness with 'mentally ill'. We are to forgive regardless of if the person is unrepentant. Now that doesn't mean they do not receive just punishment.

  >Described as close friends, Bruggeman and Dicke spent much of their time ministering to friends and strangers.

  Pestering them with magazines! It's sad that they died but these news reporters don't know squat about JW style fo ministering!

  >A double funeral service is set for 1 p.m. Saturday at the Masonic Temple, 9 W. Woodward Ave., Alhambra.

  That Mason connection again.....Is thee evidence that the Masons might be behind some aspects of the WBTS? I've seen the accusations and I know that the Masonic halls have often been meeting places in times past.

  it amazes me how westernized peoples version of christianity is.

  Hey Richard!
  I misunderstood the fertility question. By all means, if you can have two healthy infants instead of seven possibly disabled, then I have no problem with that, also, they can use the stem cells for research into many different diseases.
  As far as a rape victim goes, that must remain in the area of choice, as should incest. Each one of these is a conscience decision. Richard, like it or not it is a human life and we have gotten to the point now that life is way too cheap and taken too easily, don't you think so? Unjustified killing is a sin.
  When the difference between a preemie baby and a aborted fetus is a few inches down the tubes then we are splitting hairs on what we call human! What I can't stand is the NOW assertion that it is not human until it's birthed!
  Do you know what one of pet peeves are? People who are dead set against ANY cpaital punishment yet are supporters of abortion on demand.
  Later,
  Rex

  Now that was a great diatribe, Somebody! Farkel did some researcha while back on various charities and the one with the highest percentage of donations going to those who need it was Satan's Salvation Army.
  I wonder why we have never seen Jehovah's Witnesses Memorial Hospital anywhere, even in the most desperate parts of the world? I once asked a question at the Watchtower study, (the paragraph told us how the JWs in some African country met in an open field) "Why doesn't the Society donate the money they need for a Kingdom Hall?"
  Er, uhhhhhhh, I'll get back to you on that.

  Thank you for the sincere comments and expression of apology. That takes real humility and compassion. I am not a JW anymore and I don't agree with the Society. When I use the term, 'apostate', I use it in it's real definition: "one who has abandoned God and the Bible".
  I reserve the term for atheists and some agnostics.
  I think it is horrible for people to come on here and give the Society ammunition. Kent is one of the worst and all of his buddies excuse his behavior. I also blame the guy who provides this platform for vulgarity to exist in it's present state.
  H2O had a lot more class.

  Hi Rich,
  Billygoat nailed the photo down. He is right about the circumstances surrounding the child and mother. Gosh, Richard, have you ever seen how even 2 or 3 month fetus' look?
  I am not against choice if it is life or death. The mom wins hands down but that is a rare situation.

  >Rex, did you know that even the JWs are not 100% against abortion? They allow it for tubular pregnacies.

  >Rex, what is your opinion on:
  abortion for tubular pregnacies;

  See the above.

  >abortion for rape victums;

  Nope, not the baby's fault, give it to adoption if not wanted.

  >abortion for rape victums that are 12 years old;

  Will it severly endanger her health? See above.

  >the morning after pill;
  IUDs;culling when fertility pills make the mother pregnant with seven babies?

  Nope to all three.

  >You might want to email me privately to avoid being flamed. We can discuss it privately.

  Richard

  Thanks for the option but they really don't bother me. They usually come to the 'gunfight' with a 'butterknife'! ;-)
  BTW, abortion is just a sin, no worse than any other. A sincere, repentant person is forgiven.

  LDH,
  Why didn't you ask me instead of just jumping in with a knee-jerk reaction?
  The famous picture was of a woman who had her belly cut open for some kind of surgery, a doctor was tending to the baby and the child had it's hand wrapped around the doctor's finger.
  BTW, why is it that all of the pro-abortionists hate to see the films that show the procedures they support? Think about that for a while.
  Bye, bye
  Rex
  P.S. See what I mean, Richard?

  Hi Richard,
  I got your e-mail. Does it seem to you as if this forum is mostly for flaming and not discussion?
  "The Holy Spirit will teach you all things". Perhaps the general consensus against those things is a work of the H.S., indwelling those who are saved? It seems as if we picked up a few moral guidelines during the 'Great Awakening' (a revival from the 19th century that swept the world).
  What we are dealing with now are the 'unpaid bills' of the various denominations. The deterioration of the moral climate, the increases in cult membership and the number of cults are a direct result of the lack of evangelism during this century.
  If committed Christians are busy preaching the gospel it has an effect of increasing the numbers. Education of the Bible doctrines would also keep most persons from joining wacky cults. Churches, particularly the Catholic church have been very lax in evangelism and education but are now awakening.
  Revival is ongoing worldwide and we will see it here as other parts of the world have. This may be the last great revival before the millenial advent.
  So, am I saying the 'dubs were right? No, not in the least, they have everything pertinent wrong but some of their ideas are close enough. The best lies contain some remnant of truth. They've been able to fog the naive, like other cults have. Satan has been at it a long time and he plays the world like a fiddle.

My relatives know about it, if anyone has ratted we haven't been approached yet. We are very visible, we wear 'Jesus shirts' lol, as I call them and crosses.
