I used to think it was terrible but unavoidable until one day it occured to me they could have so easily warned the Japanese... you know along the lines of ...you have 12 hous to evacuate xxxx town, THEN dropped the bomb. determined as the Japanese were they could have used that as a face saving way to surrender and all those people not been murdered.. just my two cents worth...

Was droping bomb on Hiroshima in 1945 evil?
by new hope and happiness insorry for such a depressing question, but i was moved by a picture i saw of the consequences.
( a woman carrying her child) and i realised:-.
a) it was a civillian population.. b) i don't see how a nuclear holocaust can ever be right.. c) they could have bombed tokyo where all the generals lived but chose hiroshima.. d) the irony after the bombing america conceeded to many of japans terms.. your opinion would be valued..

A QUESTION I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANSWERED BY JWs
by NAVYTOWN inthe jws make such a big deal about not taking (eating) blood in any form.
that being the case, shouldn't they avoid eating steaks?
even a well- done steak still contains the animals blood.

the bible will never make sense, unless you realize it is nothing more than a collection of morality tales and fairy tales, nothing more nothing less.

but you just finished saying that you should literally follow the bible. apparently now this is not the case. you can't have it both ways. personally, I prefer to think for myself rather than following ancient goat herders myths,

so Perry, I am glad to have discovered this...
so you
never eat shellfish, or pork
never wear clothes of mixed fibres
expect women to be in subjugation to men (I can see trouble there for you)
honour the sabbath, and more importantly, stone those who do not.
consider one men's testimony to be equal to two womens
have no issue with owning slaves
stone blasphemers??
now, as the bible is to be taken literally, I would love to know how you go about this in your daily life. it must be cumbersome.

Have you ever been called for Jury Duty? before or after registering to vote?
by EndofMysteries ini've never been called for jury duty and i'm not yet registered to vote, although i'm hoping to get that done this month.
i know someone who within a few months of registering to vote was called for jury duty.
i've read some articles that said voter records 'used' to be used to call on people but that was a thing of the past.

this is a question to the Americans posting here, I've always wondered, could you, would you serve on a jury with a possible death sentence?
personally I couldn't, as I couldn't have someone else's death on my hands....but what's your feelings?

Satan and the demons, ghosts, spirits, fortune tellers. Are they real?
by KateWild ini believe in god.
i don't believe he punishes or rewards people.
so by the same extention i don't believe any spirit beings can communicate with or influence humans.. many who do not believe in god though, have gone to fortune tellers.

Kate, what do you mean, what is the purpose of cold reading?
to convince someone that you have physchic powers, with the intended result of financial gain.
