  Does the U.S. need its own version of M.I.5??

  our current domestic intelligence is gathered by the fbi, which imho sucks at it and should stick at what it does best- ie handle federal crimes.

  the fbi and the aclu are concerned that if kerry wins, he will push for the establishment of a new dept.

  maybe we can call it central reconnaissance and protection aka c.r.a.p.

  I really think that is one of the problems, too many laws to inforce. After 9/11, I thought the FBI was going to be different, they wouldn't waste so many resources on chasing drug dealers, etc. but no, same old same old. This is one reason I could never get involved in law enforcement, policing the ridiculous while dropping the ball when it comes to terrorists.

  ever get one of those jungles in your head and you can't get rid of it.

  i was trying to put my son to sleep, there he is leaning on me and i'm humming, and realized it was a kingdom melody.

  15 years and they're still in my head!

  No, but to me they all sounded the same. I ordered all of the quad Kingdom Melody CD's-listened to a few of them back in the day, but of course I didn't donate a damn thing.

  Cuba Libre

  I find that many people don't know this drink is simply a rum and coke, the old classic name for a rum and coke.

  I would donate all of it to myself. Oh, and I would buy the billboard that stands on the corner of my old KH and have some good apostate fun.

  They want $10000 now but I wonder how much the original owner actually donated in the course of their lifetime to get all those books-so sad.

  Contributions? Wait On Jehovah!

  clearly, there is every earmark of financial worries within the watchtower society.. even governing body members have expressed concern about falling contribution levels.

  within congregations.

  yet, for the faithful, the answer is simple: wait on jehovah.. .

  But this whinning accomplishes absolutely nothing. It actually works against you.

  The so called whining actually helped me and I don't consider myself to be mal-content. Thank you very much.

  He said Wednesday that he told the inmates: "It's 120 degrees in Iraq and the soldiers are living in tents and they didn't commit any crimes, so shut your mouths. "

  That's questionable.

  There is ample evidence that the Israelites and Christians gave money to support their causes. Money comes from people NOT heaven.

  True, but they actually got something for their donations, not just crapy books and lecturing about how they weren't doing enough.

  does anyone think they'll go back to where you have to pay for the literature?? From a business point of view, wouldn't it be worth it even if they had to pay the damn taxes?

  Once you give something away for free or even a donation basis, it is very difficult to get people to pay for it. Look at the internet, people have always had free email and no one wants to pay for it. Of course, you could slip some ads into the literature.
