Hi Richard,
That's interesting as the stories on the JW boards say there were no JW fatalities. Guess I'll follow the thread for further clarifications.Thanks for the info! hugs,T
Carl Sagan on balancing openness to new ideas with skeptical scrutiny..."if you are open to the point of gullibility and have not an ounce of skeptical sense-you cannot distinguish useful ideas from worthless ones."
Fred:
What are you holding in your hands?
When I read your question, in my right hand was my mouse, and in my left was a pint glass of Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale.
Um....are you going to stun me with an incredible piece of philosophical reasoning now, perhaps to rekindle my faith in God?

You know, I have been lied to by JW's so many times about these kinds of things, perhaps I am a bit cynical. But you know, 100 is such a neat little number and if it isn't true, then it is the JW's who are trying, for whatever reason, to exploit this tragedy. I really couldn't care less what the religion of the victims is. I hope some more of them are found safely.
In addition, isn't it unusual for the WTS to provide any aid of any kind to a non-Witness tragedy? But if they did, then I'm glad they did.
Hi expat,
But I know what Fred is holding, he has an xray in his hands. Screaming happily about the room,"Hey everyone! They took an xray of my head and found nothng there!'......T

Tina:
ROFL.
I'm still a bit nervous though. What if Fred turns out to be the Chomsky of JW.com? I notice he's leaving me in suspense, the sadist.
Drahcir:
I agree that 100 is a suspiciously round number. Presumably though, some jw's did work at the wtc, so I should think it likely there were some jw casualties. The whole thing about being concerned about victims based on their religion or nationality is quite irritating though. This was an attack on us all.
