Saddam not part of Sept. 11th...from George's own mouth...

by Aztec in

washington, sept. 17 president bush said wednesday that there was no evidence that former iraqi president saddam hussein was involved in the sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, disputing an impression that critics say the administration tried to foster to justify the war against iraq.

theres no question that saddam hussein had al-qaida ties, the president said.

but he also said, weve had no evidence that saddam hussein was involved with september the 11th.. the presidents comment was the administrations firmest assertion that there was no proven link between saddam and sept. 11. it came after vice president dick cheney clouded the issue sunday by saying, its not surprising people make that connection.. speaking on nbcs meet the press, cheney also repeated an allegation, doubted by many in the intelligence community, that mohamed atta, the lead sept. 11 attacker, met with a senior iraqi intelligence official in prague in the czech republic five months before sept. 11, 2001.. weve never been able to develop any more of that yet, either in terms of confirming it or discrediting it, cheney said sunday.

Bush/shrub's announcement was just his way of saying:

"FOOLED YOU AGAIN SUCKERS!! HAHAHA YOU BOUGHT ALL THAT "BS" WE SAID AND YOU EVEN GAVE US YOUR BLESSING TO GO AND TAKE SADDAM OUT!! WOOHOOOO -- WE WERE JUST KIDDING 'CUZ WE KNEW YOU WOULD NEVER LET US GO BOMB THE HELL OUTTA IRAQ AND STEAL THE OIL WITHOUT A REALLLLLY GOOD STORY! SO WE MADE THE WHOLE THING UP. NOW WE'RE CHANGING OUR STORY AND STATING THE REAL TRUTH - THAT SADDAM HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. WHY ARE WE CHANGING OUR TUNE? JUST TO PROVE THAT YOU CAN'T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT!!! I AM THE KING - THE GIANT SHRUB OF THE WORLD. SO BEND OVER AND TAKE UP THE WHOPPEE CUZ YOU KNOW I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT, SAY WHATEVER I WANT, AND YOU'LL BELIEVE IT ALL -- SUCKERS."

Now, imagine him saying all this while playing the banjo on the back porch of his 'ole family home down in Crawford (glamour capital of the world).

Why doesn't the WTS website have a discussion forum?

since the jws main mission in their miserable lives is to 'preach the good news of the kingdom', why is is that there is really no means to interact with the wts website?.

certainly, many pioneers could be engaged in the activity of answering the many enquiries that would be directed through such an 'official' discussion board, and it would definitely be a means for the pioneers of accumulating many precious hours of witnessing to those 'hungering for the truth'.. surely the society couldn't believe that such a site would be inundated with doubting and disgruntled individuals with an 'axe to grind' with them.

i am sure that there would be many members here who would have many sincere enquiries to make with the society, without wanting to disrupt, or harass.

So, would it be wrong if everyone on this board sent in a "visit request" to the Watchtower website... but used a fake address, like, maybe... in the middle of some huge SWAMP???

Bowling for Columbine

by drwtsn32 in

i just watched this documentary tonight and enjoyed it.

it's amazing to me the number of gun-related murders in the us... over 11,000 in one year.

i don't remember the exact figure, but canada, japan, and germany combined had less than 500 gun-related murders.

Aztec -- I read your comments!! But then, I'm not Canadian! (Talesin -- That's a JOKE!! I really love Canada)

It seemed to me that Moore's message was that we Americans live in constant fear, which, in effect, distorts our perception of reality. The reason we live in fear is that we are bombarded by stories of murder and mayhem approximately every 60 seconds on the Fox Nuisance channel, and other news media outlets. Look out (!!!) because killer bees and Nile Fever are coming to your neighborhood!!!

Stay inside and watch more TV and for god's sake be safe!

The "campaign" to keep us afraid has an important consequence: it keeps us "at home" where we can watch the endless parade of commercials on the tube. Of course, this keeps us informed of all the new products that we must have in order to: find true love, be a good parent, get a date, or have normal bowels.

Yep, that is the bottom line: stay home and watch TV -- you're only safe at home -- watch our commercials -- and buy our products. And, BTW, there is a killer around every corner. We have all been conditioned to believe these things to the point of paranoia.

This genius of a film maker, Michael Moore, sent out a great newsletter the other day talking about CLARK and urging him to run in 2004. If you havent read it, go to his website and check it out: "A Citizen's Appeal to a General in a Time of War (at Home)" at http://www.michaelmoore.com

Yet another example of how silly the Bible is...

by Abaddon in

okay, let's go along with the flood story for a moment, to the point where noah exits the ark.. here we have noah, with two of each animal and seven of the clean animals; maybe a few dozen animals that were not essential to the future survival of the species.. what does god do?.

tells noah he can eat animals now.. are you telling me an all-wise, all-knowing god isn't capable of better planning than that?

which strikes you as more likely?

Talking snake + Eve eats apple + Sins of Adam transferred to mankind + Angels and women copulate to produce giants + Noah’s flood + Jonah + Moses parts Red sea + Jesus born of a virgin + Jesus’ miracles + Jesus dying to cancel Adams sin + many many more fables = the whole bible is silly

Do you really and honestly believe, that the whole world is in a world of #hit, because a talking snake, told a naked woman, to eat a piece of fruit?

BEWARE OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS

You guys/gals are great! I am enjoying your comments so much.

following a train of thought started by metatron, i think someone should start a line of greeting cards, a la hallmark, just for jws and those oh-so-sticky situations.

my first idea was this:.

You have got to be kidding: "say something positive about Bush..." LOL LOL LOL

Bush and the word "positive" do not belong in the same sentence -- it's an oxymoron.

Having worked in Texas government, I know all too well:

Utopian -- I can understand how you feel.

Personally, I'd rather see the Bush administration go out in humiliation for the damage its done to this country, and with the greatest defeat (number of votes) in history. Let's hope they haven't corrupted the electonic voting machines as well... http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/072503E.shtml
