I saw the interview and believe it totally-100% Bush was out to get Sadamm, pure and simple. Will anyone care, probably not because the majority of people believe that ousting Sadamm was the right thing to do, just don't think about what it took to get there, the price in blood and money. Where is my Osama?

60 Minutes Tonight--Interesting
by patio34 in.
from buzzflash.com: watch 60 minutes on sunday: another ex-bush aide accuses bush and rumsfeld of being obsessed with iraq at the expense of the war on terrorism.
bush turns lies and failure to protect us into an excuse for more lies and failure to protect us.

Ngcobo said that she divorced Gumede because of "bedroom problems". She would not however, elaborate on this.
One can only imagine what these bedroom problems were, ah, how about no oral sex maybe? If you get married you should try to make things work but enough is enough, just end it if no one is happy-end the game.

So, in reality JW's could actually be close to atleast 7 million or even 8 million if they weren't so ridiculous in their DF policies. Seems like they are really shooting themselves in the foot. Of course you could probably argue that if they were less strict, they would lose even more people, who knows? Too bad they didn't release figures on why these individuals were DF'd, the R&F would probably assume gratutious sex acts but in reality it's probably something much less "serious", like disgust.

As the guy says in Office Space, absolutely nothing. Other than that a professor or a teacher which I'm already working on, maybe even a state senator or representative.

I hope there will be a sequel or atleast a prequel. I could see it now, Passion II-and I bet people would flock in groves just to see it.

Inactive and Immune
by new light indid you know that page 99 of "pay attention...." (the elders' manual) states that a person who has not associated for a while is basically exempt from discipline?
essentially if you attend a judicial hearing or respond to the elders you are admitting accountability to the "christian congregation.
" therefore, if you walk away from the congregation and simply ignore the elders for long enough and exert no influence on the members, they don't have to pursue you, even if they hear of serious sin.

Yeah right, like they would follow their own rules.
Although, this policy has actually worked very well for me so far.

Dish Network v. Direct TV
by CountryGuy indue to cable rates going up, again, we have decided on getting a dish.
my mother in law has direct tv and a friend has dish network.
they appear very similar to me.

I have Dish network and was actually happy that they took on Viacom because the reason I chose Dish in the first place was price, cheaper than Direct TV and way cheaper than Cable. Although Direct TV has a real TIVO where as Dish just has a quasi-like home made TIVO system. I'm actually thinking about cancelling all my TV services because most of the channels suck and I don't have the time to waste. I only really like the news channels and the History channel, otherwise forget about it. I may just get XM radio for $10 bucks a month, lots of music and news and absolutely no censorship.
I think I will just stick with my Verizon DSL, which just about as fast as cable now, and for my applications, plenty fast enough. Plus, once again my DSL bill is only like $30 a month when compared to $40 or $50 with Comcast. I did an independent test and my speed is right around 1.25 KPS or whatever, not bad for DSL. I'm stating to sound to nerdy-must stop.

Do You Think JW Youths "Do It"?
by minimus ini think most jws are not virgins when they get married.
i'll bet the majority have "fooled around".
what's your opinion?
-

I would have to say mostly no and depending a lot on your parents. If you are in a strict household, and by strict I mean go to all the meetings, field service, elder dad, etc., I think it would be very difficult to "do it" without being caught. The normal avenues that would give you the free time just are not open to the strict dub. I think that if your parents are a little less strict then you might have a chance to score but you will always be looking over your shoulder.
I also remember hearing a study done recently showing that most kids lose their virginity around the holidays, because parents are busy and not around as much, and kids feel lonely, so they engage in sexual activity. Once again, dub kids are screwed but not in a good way over the holidays because if your in a strict family, you will probably end up spending your holiday out in service.
However, if you did want to go ahead with it, I can see why you would want to go for a worldly girl. The logistics of dating a worldly girl would be easier, less secrets to keep I guess and probably a lot less prudish. Although, if any other dub kids go to your school, things get much more complicated.
I found this study about virginity pledging to be very interesting.
www.buzzle.com/editorials/3-9-2004-51484.asp
The study was between youths you pledged to be virgins and those who did not. The rate of STDs between both groups in the end was the same.
Open and honest communication between parents and children is what is needed, not lies and coverups.

Should obesity be a DF offense?
by jws ina headline on today's usa today says that obesity is the #1 killer.
if being fat is such a health risk (like cigarettes), why don't the jws disfellowship people for being obese?.
i know in some cases, people gain weight due to medical problems that are hard to control.

I just remember that our KH had these chairs that were not really accomadating for anyone that was overweight. I remember we had this one couple that were so fat that they had to bring their own "larry chair" chair without sides so they could sit in the back without getting stuck in the normal chairs. Also, forget about those people finding a good dress suit, they would always have something that looked like it was three sizes too small. Too bad they just couldn't have worn something more comfortable but you know how the dubs like to dress up. I wouldn't worry though because I never see any fat people in those paradise pictures.
