Making the Jehovah's Witnesses OWN THEIR OWN EVIL
by Terry indrunkards often scape-goat responsibility onto their drinking--as though it were morally defensible to cause accidents or death!.

Why does god kill children?
by Comatose ini was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.
1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.
how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

Where has the money gone??????
by joe134cd inafter all the real estate sell offs, im confidently sure that the wts must be a flush with cash (well at least for the present time).
i cant believe how blissfully un-aware the local dubbies are about where the money has gone and what it is been used for.
so my question is where has all this money gone??

Rumor: April 3, 2015 start of Great Tribulation?
by Londo111 inon another forum, somebody mentioned that there is a growing belief with those high up in watchtower hierarchy that the great tribulation will begin april 3, 2015. evidently, one has to check the skycharts for that date and compare with 33 ceand also compare with the history of jws for past 40, 80, 120 years.
dont ask me to verify the rumor...these things come and go.
im sure lots of people in hq believe all sorts of things.. .

Judge to rule on whether yoga tied to religion
by skeeter1 injudge to rule on whether yoga tied to religion julie watson 4 hours agoeducationsocietysan diego (ap) a judge is expected to issue a ruling monday on whether yoga is a religious practice that shouldn't be allowed to be taught in public schools.an attorney representing a family bent out of shape over the public school program in the beach city of encinitas filed a lawsuit in february to stop the district-wide classes.
in the lawsuit filed in san diego superior court, attorney dean broyles argued that the twice weekly, 30-minute classes are inherently religious, in violation of the separation between church and state.. judge john s. meyer is expected to issue his ruling in the case that went to trial.. the encinitas union school district is believed to be the first in the country to have full-time yoga teachers at every one of its schools.
the lessons are funded by a $533,000, three-year grant from the jois foundation, a nonprofit group that promotes asthanga yoga.. the plaintiffs are stephen and jennifer sedlock and their children, who are students in the district.. superintendent timothy b. baird said since the district started the classes at its nine schools in january, teachers and parents have noticed students are calmer, using the breathing practices to release stress before tests.. "we're not teaching religion," he told the associated press.
