Wow, that was fantastic!
It reminds me of Steven Pinker's work on the topic, particularly his book, The Better Angels of Our Nature.
Thanks for sharing.
can't say too much without spoiling the ending.
but this entire video is very interesting as it highlights wwii and puts the death toll in visual perspective.. https://vimeo.com/128373915.

my name is alex.
i have been a reader/lurker of this site for over a year now.
first time i am posting.
Alex, welcome to the forum. Thanks for sharing your story.
And welcome to the rest of your life!
even if someone may have posted this, it's worth another post.. hilarious parody.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-kvrqwwgnq&feature=youtu.be.
shit!
it finally happened.. years ago i speculated on this happening but can't find the posts.
anyway, this is a tactically aggressive move by wt.
Kings and emperors in the Middle Ages often called their opponents antichrists. - w2015, 6/01
And so we thought we'd do the same thing too. All of our opponents are hereby declared to be: ANTICHRISTS!
Let's review: It's a cult!
for those still attending.
have you seen an excitement go through the dubs about the tim burton film big eyes?
they reckon it will give a "fine witness".. i've seen it and found it really irritating, basically margaret keane is such a timid mouse that she allows her husband to take all the credit for her work.
We both concluded that she went right from one controlling relationship into another.
As many people do ... from the hated to the familiar.
shit!

For centuries, the antichrist has kept millions in spiritual darkness. - w2015, 6/01, p. 15
Yes, and for the last three centuries--the 19th, 20th and now into the 21st--the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has also kept more millions in spiritual darkness.

Ok, so this WT says, "The apostle John understood the antichrist to be all who deliberately spread religious deception"
I disagree that that is what the John "understood" according to the Bible (a book which I have become convinced is full of delusions and nonsense).
But, if the WT is right about what "John understood," then by their own description the WT leaders are "the antichrist," because they "deliberately spread religious deception."

As jwfacts commented, they're actually casting the net much wider than that.
Who cares what "they" (the WT writers) say?
Go with the Bible. It says the "antichrist" is one who denies Jesus, whatever THAT means. So, unless you actively go around "denying" that Jesus is "the Christ" you are NOT the "antichrist."
It's all bullshit.

"Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.”
I don't deny Jesus, I just deny the Governing Body. So I guess that makes me, not an AntiChrist, but an:
ANTI-GOVERNING BODY!

Sex Determination and Sex-linked Inheritance
1. How is the genetic determination of sex established in humans?
In the diploid genome of human beings there are 46 chromosomes, 44 of them are autosomes and two are sex chromosomes. The individual inherits one of these chromosomes from each parent.
The human sex chromosomes are called X chromosome and Y chromosome. Individuals having two X chromosomes (44 + XX) are female. Individuals having one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (44 + XY) are male. (Individuals 44 + YY do not exist since the chromosome Y is exclusively from paternal lineage.)
