Just got the new email alert on new Watchtwoer literature campain:

WTS RUSHES OUT MORE LITERATURE: A Regional Victoria-based writer on WOL notes 3 new tracts specifically designed for Muslims have been written: "The Greatest Name, Who Are Jehovah's Witnesses, and Hellfire -- Is It Part Of Divine Justice? Many JWs are also now ordering the 2002 Yearbook. Also being release are dramas on CDs starting with the drama from the District Convention that warns of all who dissent are apostates deserving death as with Korah. To shore up sagging membership the new tract "Would you like to know more about the Bible?" is being distributed to directly offer Bible studies at doors, already found in kingdom halls (churches) from Hong Kong to most in the USA. The Memorial Last Supper) for 2002 will be March 28. Preliminary reports are worldwide WTS growth fell to less than 1.5% even when given as just the peak month, meaning real growth figures are likely in the negative worldwide for the WTS and should fall even more after the Dateline investigation airs on the molestation policy.

I guess they need to Get new meembers from another source.

Actually there are FOUR new tracts, not three .......
But you feel that a US program would have impact on the whole world growth? You don't feel that you are over-estimating the US importance on world affairs, do you?
Bush's words that one is either with the US or with the "terrorists", met with heads shaking with disbelief over here. People are so sick and tired of US cowboys, that honestly, a US program with have no impact at all.

Hi hippie,

Glad someone else can see the US for the hypocritical opressive bullies they really are. I thought I was totally alone in my thinking. That "You are with us or against us" threat is an act of terrorism in itself!

TheOldHippie

With you on this, logical - at least on this one I'll fight shoulder to shoulder with you! Bush is carrying out state terrorism on us.

I bet if you had the opputunity ot live in the US than Poland, I think you jump at the chance! I remeember when I traveled over there how muc opputinuty and freedom you gys had (very little and it is worse now) I don't see many American immigrating to Poland or other countries. I don't see lines outside of hte Embassy trying to obtain Visas. I do see many Foreginers trying to obtian the right to come here to the USA. How long are those lines for US visa on a daily basis. As I remeber they were very long and people were willing to wait all day or even days to apply for a US visa.

I get tired of all these guys bashing our Coutnry and OUr President. BTW I had the chance to meet Bush when He campained here in Florida and He is a very nice and Intelligent person. Not the way the Liberal Amercian Media make him out to be.

Logical, please live up to your name. Your continued bashing of the American government is totally ludicrous. It is incumbent upon all nations that they realize terrorism IS a worldwide threat to their freedom, not just that of the United States of America who happened to be targeted in September. I know you don't like your prime minister Tony Blair, but even he can see the logic of what the American government is trying to accomplish, namely a more sane world. Or would you rather let the terrorist groups of the world continue to tramp all over the world with no consequences?

Nowaytess, you are correct that people would choose the freedom of life in America over other places. I don't know why you picked Poland, which last I heard is a "free" country, although mainly poor. Are you implying people should go where the riches are?

And while US President Bush isn't perfect, I agree he is about as genuine as you can expect a politician to be. More importantly, he's a damn fine leader. I don't understand why you say the media is against him! They haven't been, since the attack of September 11.

In the case of our country being attacked, and our schools being bombed and national buildings like the World Trade Towers being, pulverized, and small pox being dumped on us, I personally believe President Bush must make this statement. You are either for us or against us. He is basically a kind moral man trying to protect our homeland the best way he can. Yes we are being threatened by the "evil ones" as he has said. And these evil ons are thugs who murder their own woman and children. They are uncivilized and every civilized country who values freedom and respect for woman and children and educates thier youth must take President Bush's statement seriously. You are either for us or against us is very simple. Even the Bible book of Romans speaks of the Superior Authorities in their positions to act as "God's Avenger against those who commit wrong" Yes, may God bless the Superior Authority, America as it goes after the evil that threatens our children and grandchildren not just in this country but every other civilized country who values it's families and thier children. And God Bless the men and women who are willing to lay down their lives in behalf of us and our children and all the children of the nations that were represented in those World Trade Towers. Greater love has no man then to lay down their life in behalf of another. And may God Bless President Bush and give him courage and wisdom to do and carry out what needs to be done to ensure the safety of us in our homeland.

wow, this thread went nowhere fast.

please watch your editorializing tho tess. there are several publications specifically directed at muslims, as well as buddhists, hindus, and jews. muslims are not a new campaign target. and if you understood what peak-to-peak growth was, and looked at the other numbers posted, youd see that the actual growth is actually higher, about 1.7%.

Poland is whre old Hippie is from. I just find it sad, because I went there in 1985 and 1988. Even though they are free, economic oppurtunities are not.

When the Goverment change over fom a socialist/communist to a Democratic/free market the people were not ready to prepare for the sacrafices and pitfall it would take.

Even though the freedoms are appealing the Goveremnt subsided them for so long they wer not prepared for the radical changes a free economy would bring. No more Govt subsided food, housing health care etc. NOw you see problems we have here. In those countries even though the housing health care etc was not as good, even if you did not work you got it. Teh harded you worked you still got the same benefits as the person who did not. for the hard working entipuner there was no incentive to suceed and be indepent of the goverement.

It is like being on welfare for a long period of thiem then choosing to work and get off. YOu want the freedom but were not prepare for the bumps in the road.
