-Removed-I'll buy that. I never gave that particular bit much thought, I always thought it (the rending of the curtain) was about "tearing down the old covenants to make way for the new covenant", but I can see your points too.
I find this another very distasteful element of the JW church but it is indicative of most erroneous doctrine which will do one or both of: denying the deity of Christ and attempting to separate Christ from the body, usually through hierarchy and/or ritual.Yes, robbie's agenda (like the JW agenda of separating believers into "elect" and "non-elect" ) seems to be one of denying Christ, and/or "attempting to separate Christ from the body". I fully agree, it could not be more clear from his reprehensible behavior so far. I wonder if his corporate masters would be proud of the way he's shown the falseness of his/their agenda.
His only option at this point as I see it would be to start denying the corporation and start following the risen Christ, instead. But I'm afraid that just isn't going to happen, his ego knows no bounds.

Originally posted by FMFbecause I found many of the images rather repulsive to be honest, that was not meant to provoke anything, it was a statement of fact, unlike your gossipy housewife spoon in hand, stirring it up!
Then why did you yourself use the word "repulsed" in the first place if you didn't want to cause or provoke trouble or bad feeling?

I do and I note that there is a somewhat rather stark and noteworthy contrast in the ambience and the countenance of the people when one contrasts it to the beautiful and peaceful assembly of Jehovahs witnesses as i cited earlier who were meeting in Jakarta!

You shouldn't brag too much, even the worst salesman gets a few sales, preying on the trusting old ladies. Yeah, that's right. Including you.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieSo for you to state that images of Indonesian Christians are "repulsive" is not intended to provoke "bad feeling" but for me to point out that you claimed to find images of Indonesian Christians "repulsive" provokes "bad feeling"? Is that how it works for you?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat's probably because, you, who deny the Christ, who deny the crucifixion, who deny the resurrection (you must, since you do not celebrate any of these things), probably think the "passion of the Christ" was all about hugging and laughing and having a great time.

You come into this thread, which was meant to celebrate the Easter celebration, and show your disrespect to your fellow Christians, disrespect to your neighbor, disrespect to the risen Christ, and disrespect to God.
THAT is what I find "repulsive".

Originally posted by Suziannesorry is this how you tin foil hat conspiracy theorists explain how we controlled 13 million member's of the public? we mislead them? what did we do, put little trails of sweets on the sidewalk leading to the front door of the Kingdom Hall? Ok so many were old ladies do you have the statistics for that? what did we do? entice them in with promises of free perms?
