JWs and Armageddon

JWs and Armageddon

Wayne Jackson has an interesting biblical analysis of the JW position on Armadeddon at Christian Courier. A sample: In Matthew 24:5ff, Christ set forth a number of “signs” that would herald the impending destruction of Jerusalem. He plainly declared: “this generation shall not pass away, till all these things be accomplished” (v. 34). Of special interest are the expressions “this generation,” and “all.” The word “generation” (genea) refers to “the sum total of those born at the same time, expanded…

JW Pedophile on Most Wanted List

JW Pedophile on Most Wanted List

A suspected sexual predator who disappeared last year after being charged in San Diego with child molestation has been added to the U.S. Marshals Service’s 15 Most Wanted fugitive list (photo posted). Jehovah’s Witness Brother Frederick McLean (aka Frederick McClean, aka Rick McClain) was a member of the congregation in Vista and Oceanside, CA during the last 25 years. He was a pioneer and Ministerial Servant, and was recently disfellowshipped. Most of the news reports have omitted any reference to…

Scalia Gesture after WHAT mass

Scalia Gesture after WHAT mass

So Supreme Court Justice Scalia made a “Sicilian” gesture toward anyone who might question his impartiality on issues involving the separation of church and state -this as he was leaving a mass in Boston. But this was not just any mass. He was attending a special mass for lawyers and politicians at Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and afterward was the keynote speaker at the Catholic Lawyers’ Guild luncheon. A special mass for lawyers and politicians? Isn’t that a sign…

I witnessed a disturbing thing. It was late morning near the Pier on Flagler Beach in Florida on Sunday the 19th. It’s not uncommon to see small planes pulling banners across the sky, although it’s certainly not as common as at the typical “spring break” beaches such as Daytona. Perhaps this one came from there and just continued up the coast. I didn’t notice anything special about the plane itself. The banner was shorter than the typical ad banner. It…

Atheism is Not Enough

Atheism is Not Enough

Comments 2 comments

Slavoj Žižek makes a very interesting defense of atheism in the editorial “Defenders of the Faith” (New York Times, 3/12/06). Certainly atheism deserves the restoration of the inherent dignity of its position. But his overall argument, at least in the context of our current realities, is flawed. It could be a readerly effect, since the article looks as though it might have been chopped up. (Boo-hiss to the editor if that is the case – Žižek deserves better.) Still, I…
