  You need to apply some basics of debate, fisherman. This,

  .

  Are you dictating the morality that a boy 16 or younger should not get married to a 69 year old man( It is legal )? Do you want to use legal means to force your morality upon others.

  is called a 'straw man' argument (or non argument, actually). Straw man will always get picked up on in this forum, as will 'red herring', etc.

  ____________________________________________

  As for my other comment, it's not up for debate. I think I was very clear. : )

  you can believe that it is wrong if you like, but if you do not like it, it is not your business to dictate morality to the WT.

  When you are talking child rape and molestation of any kind, I will dictate to anyone I please, thank-you-very-much. : )

  If you wish to defend the JWS for propagating child sexual abuse, and protecting pedophiles, have at it. *shrugs*

  Masons, Tomas Jefferson, Jesus, ancient Egyptian religion, Russell

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i believe the masons we're anti christs, tomas jefferson i read even wrote a bible leaving out anything to do with jesus because these masons new the christ was just a retelling of older god's, some of these gods being from the egyptian religion.. russell was said to be a mason and it's interesting that he traveled to egypt to confirm some of his beliefs.

  then after he returns home his religion becomes more like that of the ancient egyptian religion then probably any other christians sect.

  like the egyptians the jws believe in a two class system one class goes to heaven to be with god, just like the pharaoh's and the other rank and file class goes to a paradise called the field of reeds.

  NN, you are sounding like H_S. : P

  (I've realized that a lot of people access through their phones, and that would make searching difficult - home internet is very expensive, almost $100/month here.)

  Crazyguy - a lot of people think that Russell was a Mason, because of the pyramid near his grave, and the weird pyramid and masonic stuff on the cover of the early literature. He *did* hang out with them, and I too, think he was a wannabe Mason.

  There's lots of threads on the forum about that very thing. xx tal

  Y can't blame them they are neglected hence immature.

  Most JWS have arrested development, on both a social and emotional level. Boys are just as immature, and tend to have a 1950s attitude towards women.

  This is not about blame - It's the reality of your situation; that is, being one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

  We may have interbred with Neanderthals earlier than previously thought.

  it is now thought that we have been interbreeding with neanderthals as early as 100,000 years ago.. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-35595661.

  craziest thing i just realized: some women still breed with neanderthals up to this day.

  rihanna and chris brown anyone?.

  Charlie Sheen is the one who pops into my head, actually. But maybe you are thinking of Troglodytes, not Neanderthals. : P

  A lot of JW girls play with boys' feelings. It's the only power they have. Much of the time, they don't even realize they are doing it.

  Reality is not always 'nice'.
