Your opinion on what is discussing and what is debating seem a bit... I don't know ____, but I hope the mods see you have a bone to pick, and don't move threads just so you can get something off your chest.

I want to give you the opportunity to blow off some of that steam @Windwalker, so I will create the thread for you.
I believe @The Kilted Heathen created this thread in this forum for a reason - It's a current event. So give me a few minutes, and I will have that debate thread up.

If this governments is evil, what does it say about the JWs that they were happy to be subsidized by an evil government?From what students of the Bible know, people will soon see what their governments really are.
We may tell them, but they may think we are fanatics.
The Bible however, made it clear from the begining what man-made rule would involve - you know this from the Tanakh, in the book of Samuel.
The Bible also tells us what their role will be, before they are taken out, and whose direction they are under.
It's only a matter of time, before people will actually see what is coming.
It's time for reality check, I suppose we can say.
How does it reflect on the morals and ethics of the Watchtower Society to willingly suckle at the teat of the antichrist?

There are various sites that try to help people in cults. The following one for example. They have a list of cult characteristics and the JWs appear to have at least six of them:

This is not a discussion. It's preaching. Therefore it belongs in a debate thread.From what students of the Bible know, people will soon see what their governments really are.

Oh, I made a mistake. I thought it was you who had started this thread. That said, however, your comments were debating, so they belong in the other thread. You should keep to the rules of the forums yourself.
I believe Christians who weaponize the Bible against any human being, let alone against children are seriously misguided, to put it mildly. Anyone who uses religion to coerce through force, which shunning, threats of damnation, and other such violent tactics, are guilty of violating the spirit of the religion itself. I wouldn't say Christianity is inappropriate. I'd say weaponizing the religion is. I consider it a form of evil.

The Bible itself says the Saints will be shown those who are suffering in Hell and it will make them feel more blissful about being with their "righteous god." It is written that everyone they know and love who dies who wasn't a Christian (or the correct flavor of Christian) is eternally damned, cast forever in to darkness, into a burning furnace to face eternal destruction and torment. That's not what these Christians believe or what those Christians believe, this is what the Bible of all Christians says.

I just typed out a whole post, only to find the thread deleted..
I'm not sure if the mods allow users to retrieve their hard work from a deleted post.
So, you'll have to give me some time.

I think the other one's disappeared. Or I'm going mad. Or both.

So what thread was deleted? Or is such discussion verboten?
No - it's gone... but I thought I was in the now-deleted thread when I posted that link.
I got myself confused, but I've now had my Christmas Eve afternoon nap, so I should be thinking more clearly now.

I've had mine and it's not helped. I posted this in the other one, for discussion purposes...
