The difference in behaviour of the Captain, crew, and passengers of both the Titanic and the Costa Concordia is best explained by the difference in national average personalities and cultural values. The Concordia was registered in Italy and the Captain Francesco Schettino, is Italian, was Italian, as was much of the crew.
Either you understand this, or you don’t.
Audey Murphy once observed that the Italians coming into WWII on the side of the Nazis shortened the war by six months.
But let’s get down to the bottom line to the ONLY thing that really matters.
Those trying to discredit the 49 minute video posted HAVE NOT viewed it to even HAVE an intelligent opinion.
The video provides screenshots from the Society’s OWN PUBLICATIONS what assertions it makes.
If you cannot refute, point by point, specific hard evidence from the video screenshots that the Watchtower writers THEMSELVES documented …..
…… you got NOTHING, and are deliberately wallowing in agenda driven ignorance.
Empty rhetoric.
No more.

If you did not see the video, and did not study the video to see if the points documented were true or not, you have no right to any opinion whatsoever.
If you did not see the video, and did not study the video to see if the points documented were true or not, you have no right to any opinion whatsoever.
Because that’s what this thread is about.
 
 

Because that is not true, I can provide ENDLESS SPECIFIC EXAMPLES of how that is not true.
Just locally, the Jews were dominated by the Roman Empire … Israel was occupied and controlled by the Roman Army, and foreign Administrators.
In the little town I live in there are probably 20 or more opthamologists, and 8 or more eye surgeons, and 20 or more opticians. They all have more work than they can quickly do.
Multiply that town population by eight billion people, globally.
 Lets’s look at a specific example … me.  
Twice I have been blind, and because of modern technology, and highly skilled surgeons, and $19,500 which I could afford, I am 77 years old and can see 20/20, near and far, without glasses. My guess is about 80,000 people a day globally are cured of blindness.
How many people did Jesus cure of blindness?
One? Fifty? 200?
…. and then only if you were right there, at the right time.
Multiply that by the numbers of diseases and infirmities people have globally THEN and NOW.
Fausto Hoover, you are living in a very deep fantasy ignoring everything real.
There is less violence globally now than ANYTIME in history, and that is reality.
Fewer people freeze to death now, than anytime in history.
Fewer people die of starvation now, than anytime in history.
etc., etc., etc.
I suspect if you really did live when Jesus walked the Earth, you would be maimed, crippled, or dead in three months.
Did I mention Dentists?
THINK ABOUT IT!

Apostates, BlahBlahBlah, and disfelowshipped persons, BlahBlahBlah …. is not a rebuttal.
Other than RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, Fausto Hoover, for the general welfare of all people on Earth, WHEN was there a better time?
If you answer at all, and are honest, you prove your premises are false.

I notice, Fausto Hoover, can you never answer questions that will clear the whole thing up, or specify the vague nebulous things you talk about.
 
 

it is really quite simple to be politically neutral towards interactions with people and Nations…… Just change the definitions of the words.
Comedian Steve Martin once said, if you teach children the wrong definitions of words, in the first grade when a child wants to go to the restroom, he can raise his hand to ask the teacher’s permission with  “… can I mumble face dog to the banana patch?”

Reality?
You wanna talk about REALITY?
The REALITY is that we are now living in the best times that have ever existed in the history of human experience …. and with one simple observation can prove it.

Translated:
I don’t LIKE IT because you dont agree with my agenda driven world view.
That is why I am indignant, and could not give any SPECIFIC examples.

Prehistoric animals (dinosaurs and the like) experienced their end of the world, but that did not worry anyone (neither then nor now) because Adam and Eve had not yet lived, sinned and been thrown out of Paradise.
The planet experienced its ends through processes of transformation so that life would be possible at all. Thus, the various forms of life that existed then arose and disappeared. And who cares about that today?
Now, if our skin is in question, then it is really worrying that it will be some new end of the world. And this should be preached to everyone through global preaching. Imagine! In a way, this JW global campaign of "lobbying" for the Kingdom that will be the means of selective destruction of life on planet Earth "fits in" with the foreordained processes that concern not only this planet but the entire galaxy.

What a person often fails to realize is that ALL human activity with more than three people is political!.

A “red arrow downvote” without a reasonable, rational counterpoint explanation only serves to advertise “cult-think”.
For years the WTB&TS used to defend it’s actions successfully with a booklet “Defending and Legally Establishing the Good News”.
”Downvoting” what are prima facia hard facts ONLY serves to advertise the downvoters’ agenda driven limited reasoning ability.
Sort of like someone from Poland “downvoting” that during WWII they they fought Nazi Tanks with horse calvary.
It happened!
 

“Why do you Jehovah’s Witnesses always have to say that conditions are getting worse? What does that belief do for you?”
It helps me to explain why the Doomsday Clock is set at 90 seconds to midnight and not 10:30 AM.

I dunno. The trick would be to persuade them they really are assets and not just the next UN NGO bright idea.

It is widely believed that in the Garden of Eden, nature’s most perfect food, King Sized Snickers Bars, is what sustained their longevity.

…. and now for something completely different!

As I have proved by my own words, I never made that assertion.
Your agenda driven mind twisted what I actually said.
Let me give you a hint of how to win a debate when you can’t hypnotize your victims with many words.
1.)  Make sure before you say something that you can prove every word, premise and assertion BEFORE you make it.
2.) Expect as a given that EVERY WORD, premise and assertion will be thoroughly challenged.
3.) Make as your “Holy Grail” the real Truth, no matter where it comes from or who says it, and defend that, and that alone.

THIS is what I was referring to ….. 
In context …. THIS is what I ACTUALLY said …. proving once again you are a weasel, and a liar.

A person that expresses sympathy for a dead small dog hundreds or thousands of miles away, but who absolutely thinks all babies are enemies of God, has some screws loose.

Try not to foam at the mouth for being proven WRONG once again ….

From the above quote, if you were not intrinsically dishonest, you would have read:
”Jehovah has the Sovereign right to kill any of us at any time for any reason, or no reason at all, even babies, as he did in Egypt so long ago.
That does NOT MAKE babies natural enemies of God.”

Once again, your doppelgänger shill sock puppet, which you control, has betrayed you.

As I have proved by my own words, I never made that assertion.
