One more victory for the Christians and it sucks!!!

by Atilla in

i saw that today the supreme court threw out the case with the atheist father arguing that the under god phrase in the pledge of allegiance was unconstitutional.

i guess the case was thrown out on a technicality because the daughter does not live with her father but with her christian mother thus making the father's case invalid.

i knew about this case but i did not realize that is was dubbie prez.

I'm not really making arguments, just my opinions and how I view the world. I am pretty sure about the Eisenhower thing, if you were raised by a JW parent, then you are going to be influenced in some manner.

I'm not for throwing out all the traditions but sometimes traditions stand in the way of progress. The pledge the way it stands is probably going to fall just like gay marriage and everything else, it's inevitable. So, I guess you can hold onto your pledge and change it a little bit or have it completely removed.

Just because Eisenhower never proclaimed to be a JW doesn't mean he was dramatically influenced by his parents, especially him mom who was an ardent JW until her death. Plus, I think the dubbies were even more crazy back then than they are now, they are just disallusioned now.

If there is a God, does anyone actually think that a nation can collectively actually curry favor with that powerful creator just because they put his or her name in their pledge or on their money. Who are we kidding? Is it not obvious that God is helping this country or any other country for that matter. Would God even want to be attached to the wars and deeds done by this country?

Now, I do think that the father of this girl with the pledge case is exploiting his daughter because every time there is a camera around, he goes off. However, I still think it is a good idea, just maybe a different approach would have been better.

My state must have the most JW's!

i was thinking about this yesterday and i was thinking that my state pennsylvania must have one of the highest concentration of dubs either in real numbers or per capital.

i'm just basing this on a hunch, no data to back it up.

also, this is where russel did get his start, kinda scary.

I have noticed that the one Hispanic Congregation here in central PA does very well, and having attended there before, I can attest that they always have strong attendence. I think the Hispanic Congregations focus more on the social aspects of meetings and tend to care less about doctrines, they don't get wrapped up into it as much. Perhaps, they are less willing to question doctrine as long as they are able to get along socially and use the KH more as a meet up place rather than a more religious place.

Of course, it's also fun to go to these meetings especially if you don't know Spanish very well. You just sit there and day dream, you don't even have to answer and then after meeting you get to hang out. Still not worth it, but better than a boring white congregation where everyone is all up in your face.

I knew about this case but I did not realize that is was dubbie prez. Eisenhower you actually put the under god phrase into the pledge some 50 years ago when he signed it into law. I just find that to be ironic, maybe it was his way of trying to make the pledge ok for dubs to participate.

My feeling is that the one nation under God should be removed at once, f*ck the Christians for trying to force their religion upon everyone in this country. Of course, I probably wouldn't go to the extent of making my child not participate in the plege, that would be his or her decision and I do know what it is like to have to stand out at school from my non-pledge participation days. Any thoughts-for or against,etc?

Too funny!!!!

by RR in

long before the likes of watchtower apologetics, timothy white and greg stafford, and before the likes of e-watchman and twmc there was frank earl scott, a dentist who believed in his heart that jehovah's witnesses were the true israel of god, and attempted to prove it.

he wrote a few books, most on prophecy, he predicted armageddon for 1970 and when it didn't happen he was disfellowshipped, talk about double standards.

eh?

Is it that guy from Lord of the Rings, the elf with the bow and arrow, oh what's his name, Gelf or something?

Fox Pees on Bush?

by patio34 in

it may be a cheesy movie.

but ?the day after tomorrow?

has a message for president george w. bush.

Atilla

Damn, I actually thought a fox had peed on Bush, that would be funny because he deserves it. Plus, it wouldn't be that hard to believe with all the vacation time he spends on his frickin ranch. Oh, I forgot, it's a "working vacation".
