Define 'cult'.

One for the patient man on his throne

One Bush to bring them all and in the UN bind them

Part of the definition would be:
A group that holds to notions which have been proven false irrefutably and it's mentally shut to the real world.

It's OK to have beliefs. But if they're proven wrong then still holding them is moronic.

Quoting the Dalay Lama:
If someday science disproves ressurrection, then we'll certainly change our belief system.
But I think scientists will have a hard time proving or disproving that.

What's so valid about about 'pitying' someone for not fearing sexuality?
You haven't backed up your assumption that no JW ever masturbates, but that wasn't what I was addressing. Why the hell should I care about JW texts, anyway? It's just modern-day, eschewed armegeddon-obsessed 'analysis' of meaningless Judeo mythology. You bring me nothing.

OK. Lets assume that I was looking for a religion. WHY should I accept your's as opposed to any of the other thousands of denominations? Why are your interpretations of the Bible any better than theirs? And before you answer simply "Because mine it the true one" let me remind you that every other religion says the same thing.

I doubt it. This is the same kid that says Revelations proves the Archangel Michael and Jesus Christ are the same being, which totally and absolutely violates Canon.

I used to have quite a bit of JW literature (no, it didn't cause my brain to decay--I guess I was one of the lucky ones) and I never found any kind of scriptural support for that belief, only their insistance that it was so. Of course that is true for any religious belief.

I'd be interested in seeing your scriptures against thier position.

That's pretty funny. The rest of us pity you for denying yourself the pleasures of the flesh thanks to your sad cult of pointless self-denial. Why do you have a problem with masturbation, female orgasms, etc?

If God had a problem with female pleasure, he wouldn't have given Mankind the genius to invent the vibrator :)
If God had a problem with women having orgasms, they wouldn't be equiped to have them in the first place...
If God had a problem with women having orgasms, he shouldn't have given me these busy hands. :wink:

Oh, and $50 says more than half of all JW masturbate. Y'know they would, as long as they do it secretly.
Umm..doesn't that last statement apply to 99.999% of people who masturbate?

I'm really not sure this one if fake, but I think it is... maybe. I read the tips on quiting masturbation, I was never religous as a child but... I mean, they really don't think doing things like praying and thinking of god solves their problems do they?

No, I suggest you understand it first before you criticise it. If you didn't know what the word 'ancestor' meant (for the sake of illustration - I know you know what it means) and I used it in an argument, would you use the word to prove a point if you didn't understand it?

This blindness thing, I've heard it before. Is this actually factual? How the hell does masturbating make you blind? I can't think of a logical reason it might cause this. Must be another one of those stupid myths.

This is probably ridiculously late, but did anyone scroll down that link to the bottom and see the stuff about SW? It's under the Reviews section. Hillariousness!

"When my son had an erection I watched as he was blasted with the anti-erection ring. When the sparks started flying it reminded me of that scene in 'Return of the Jedi' when Luke is being zapped by the Emperor. The irony of the situation was not lost as he screamed, 'save me father!!!'"

LOL. Who does that? Shock your son to not have wet dreams and get erections...Hello people, where the hell do you think you came from? Fornication!

Understand this. Just because someone pens a book and burries in the ground and thousands of years later people find it, it doesn't mean it's factual. Take for example, Lord of the Rings. If someone burries that now, and thousands of years from now when the human race is gone, (because that's the way this world is going right now) if another race discovers it and praises it as the factual history of our planet, does it mean it's true?

No. It doesn't.

The fact is, we don't HAVE to understand it, or read it, or should we be subjected to having it force-fed to us. If that's what you believe, then fine. But I didn't ask for it to be crammed down my throat, and I'm sure plenty of other people in this forum didn't either.

And maybe if you people got your rocks off once in a while, you wouldn't be so damn uptight about what everyone else believes or doesn't believe.

Actually, we've been arguing that his cult's interpretations of the Bible are wrong. The JW's say that Jesus Christ is the same entity as the Archangel Michael, which violates Canon.

Suppose that would be the more logical way to debate these types.

I was just addressing the entire bible-bashing, force-feeding bs in general.

Frankly I have issues with any part of the bible being considered "canon". But I understand in which context you're refering to with that. As far as their canon. Debunk them from their own beliefs. And I like that method.

Frankly, Austi, I was making fun of your ludicrous inference that JWs aren't Full Orchestral Crochists, if you take my meaning, and then expanded to the christian churches in general. If you don't like it, eh, shucks. It's your turn in the barrel.
