The archbishop has this the wrong way round. The terrorist attacks in Kenya by Al-Shabaab are part of a global war by an organised religion.
Obviously, this war is nothing to do with atheists.
the anglican archbishop of kenya, eliud wabukala has declared that the terrorist attacks in kenya by al shabaab is part of a global war on organised religion.... speaking to a men's association conference yesterday he blamed "militant promotion of atheism" and called on all religions to unite against the threat.. how long until the geniuses at brooklyn towers quotes him as an authority on world affairs, as opposed to the paranoid buffoon that he is?.

i've never seen this discussed here, so thought i'd bring it up:.
as far as i can figure, jehovah's witnesses no longer teach that black skin is the result of a curse from god.
instead, they seem to teach that canaan was already dark skinned when his father, ham, brought the curse of servitude upon their family.
Maybe Ham was adopted ...
yes it happen again with our youngest son.
this last monday we got a letter from him telling us how unloving we are because we are no longer jw.
cult and not had kids.
I'm sorry to hear of your situation, Still Totally ADD. I hope, in time, your son will become reasonable. I agree with jwfacts, your planned letter telling your son you definitely regard WTS as a cult but love him regardless shifts the focus onto him, hopefully causing him to soften his stance.
Take care

what song would you dedicate to the wt if you knew they would be listening?
put the title or post some of the lyrics for those of us that may not know it.
first thing that comes to my mind.. are the following... .
Considering the amount of nonsense consistently printed in the Watchtower, how about 'I Am The Walrus' by The Beatles?
were they pretty much a good group of men?
we're they jerks?.
I must be honest - at least half of the elders were decent, moderate, honest and good-hearted men.
There were also one or two lunatics - one elder gave my mate a serious b*ll*cking because he had the audacity to grow a neat goatee and turn up for field service.
Another elder who said in not so many words that God would kill my mum at armageddon also counselled me for going to a Quasar party (people shoot each other with laser guns).
I guess they were a mixed bag.

Terry - mine was in the members/politics section: Should religious belief be exempt from critical thinking? It ran to a mere 4 pages.
It should really have been even shorter, but some (ex-)members stubbornly insisted that a certain religion of peace was most certainly not to blame for a recent spate of beheadings.

No Easy Way Out - by Survivor.
I don't wanna pacify you,
I don't wanna drag you down.
But I'm feelin' like a prisoner,
Like a stranger in a no-name town.
I see all the angry faces,
Afraid that could be you and me.
Talkin' about what might have been,
I'm thinkin' about what it used to be.
