Doesn't sound terribly sinister. If anything someone should have told the kid not to go off by himself, or to at least let someone know which direction he was heading. Fairly common rule among those who go to rugged places to camp. Maybe someone who knows what kind of terrain is around where it happened, could give a clue as to what he could have expected. People get killed all the time going off by themselves in places they aren't prepared for.

Missionary Deaths
by Yerusalyim infor friday and all the other loyal dubs here, a question.
how many gilead graduates were martyred in the year 2001 for their faith.
the actual number of missionary deaths, not that of just the loyal dubs, but those specifically sent to lands where the faith is not being preached to preach it.

Yeru, interesting topic. I tried to find a United Nations listing of reported missionary deaths among NGOs, but either I'm incapable, or there just isn't one. I was also curious about all those nasty little diseases they pick up where "the need is great"...malaria, tuberculosis, parasites, ebola, typhoid, etc..all very pleasant. As a member of the service I guess you get into the same boat as the missionaries do. You buy that ticket and take that ride, except your's is a much more worthy ticket indeed.

If you had been home studying your Watchtower, instead of going out for a curry, Jehovah would have surely blessed you with a vist by his faithful.

count down to extinction
by heathen inwith all the escalating violence in the world today and senseless barbarism, how many people on this site are still living in any sense of security.do any of you have a bright outlook for the future of the world we now live in ?is the un the answer to world peace ?personally my out look is dim .i have seen plenty of posts about the god that will annihilate the earth by killing 99% of all people that do not follow his instructions but the way i see it is that mankind has spent the past 100 years trying to find more powerful means to destroy the population and the planet due to paranoia .can such an untrusting and suspicious species exist with such deadly arsenals at their disposal?
i believe it is just a matter of time before something gives and we are living in the mad max movie.
this is my first thread ,so be gentle and thanks for any participation.

Do you Remember the Moment you Stopped Being a JW?
by Smoldering Wick in"it only takes a moment.
a moment of sanity.
clarity.

Valis
I have several moments of clarity...
The first at a very young age when i discovered change from Watchtower sales was a great source of candy money.
The first time I met someone I knew from school out in service.
The first time I considered lying to get out of going to meeting.
And finally it was 3 weeks before my 17th birthday. I had a killer job, knew dam well I didn't want to go to meetings, nor did I want to stay in my parents house, pay thier bills, and live by thier rules. I got off work and one of my buddies came over to help me pack my things. My plan was to stay in a scumbag hotel until I had enough for 1st rent, etc...My parents came into my room and asked me what I was doing. I told them I was leaving and didn't want to be a JW anymore. They laughed, I said "FUCK OFF" to both of them. My dad punches my face hard enough to knock me down and I see stars. The paradise on earth was definitely over. I never looked back.

The truth of the Resurrection
by RWC inat this time of easter christians celebrate the foundation of their faith, the resurrection of jesus christ.
without the resurrection, the rest of the christian faith is in vain, with it, the whole plan of god is fulfilled and validated.
in other words, if the resurrection occurred it proves the existence of god and his plan for salvation.. with that in mind, i offer the proof that the resurrection is a historical fact that be relied upon:.

Double Edge that's the second dumbest thing I've heard today. According to your logic, you just have to have faith that you have an ancestor. You are the historical record dummy, however it might be easier for you to believe your family tree is the result of immaculate conception...now go do some goddam geneology, disprove your own point and come back when you have something to say.

RWC...your argument is full of holes.
1. There is very real debate about the existence and the life of Jesus, as the bible leaves out a tremendous amount of info on his life. Like his relationship w/Mary Magdalene for example. BTW, do you think there was only one person ever named Jesus?
2. Please show me other texts where the death and entombment and ressurection of Jesus is documented, besides the bible, and not just his existence. Really, I'll listen.
3. That is the most circular/spurious argument I've heard in a long time. The Gospels sound somewhat like other ancient texts so they must be true, therefor the entire account of Jesus and his miracles must be true. Ha!
4. Still you come with biblical quotes...and not external proof. I might also add that if Jesus was the political and religious dissident he is portrayed to be, it was certainly prudent for his followers to remove his body after being entombed, so as to not have the body dragged through the streets by religious zealots. Oh, and he was buried in Joseph of Arimathea's tomb...it is very possible that old Jo may have wanted his tomb back and had the body moved to a more private place. You really think Paul's writing were distributed like a daily paper in and around Rome or Judea? Do you think Christians met openly and had symposiums about the writings of the early apostles, much less argued w/him, or would have refuted the very foundation of thier young faith? Ha!
5. More bible stuff...
6. Religious fervor has always been the cause of hallucinations, whether they be group or singular.
7. More bible stuff...
8. The sceptics? You mean the Romans and the Jews? The ones that crucified him? Yeah I'm sure they believed in his ressurection so much they killed him the first time just for the hell of it. Don't worry, he'll be back........
9. Where did you get this number of 10,000 jews suddenly giving up thier faith? Is that biblical? It would have been much easier if you had quoted your sources..besides the bible, but that may have required a bit of thought and less faith in one text.

ah...the joys....
by peaceloveharmony ingot this email :) made me laugh and i wanted to share with you all.. the joys of womanhood .
women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them.
one of life's mysteries is how a 2 pound box of candy can make a woman gain 5 lbs.

The Senility Prayer
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now that I'm "older" (but refuse to grow up) Here is what I have discovered:
1. I started out with nothing, and still have most of it.
2. My wild oats have turned into All Bran.
3. I finally got my head together, now the rest of me is falling apart.
4. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
5. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.
6. If all is not lost, where is it??
7. It's easier to get older than wiser.
8. The only time the world beats a path to your door is when you are in the bathroom.
9. These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter. I go somewhere to get something and then wonder what I am hereafter.
10.It's not hard to meet expenses, they are everywhere!!
