18Family of four murdered. Possible religious implications.
by chappy ina family of four was found in their nj home with their throats cut.
the family made up of the man and wife included two young daughters.
there are strong implications that this family was murdered over fanatical religious "disagrements" with an individual/individuals that the father had been comunicating with on an internet chat room.

I think the fact that it was publicized is the mistake...that's great you donated there big guy...but proportionally speaking, I'm sure the average joe has donated more than you, so you might want to keep that figure to yourself...

I just called the new 800# for da Dubs...
by upside/down ini left a brief message with my # - they actually called me back, in less than 24 hours.. we talked for about 30 minutes.
i laid all my "gripes" right out on the table.
the brother listened only offered me 1 scripture and even dignified me by saying i probably already knew it, but he would like to read it anyway.

We don't have that service here... but it would be fun to call and ask them to explain the "2.520 days"... then wait for their answer and ask: "I missed something here! Can you explain it over again?".. and so on...
That's funny!!! Just wait til the end of the long, convoluted explanation...pause a couple seconds and just say "what? can you say that again?"

Neutrality of the WT
by blindfool inone of the issues i have with the wt teachings is that it is taught that a true believer must not engage in warfare.. the problem is: evil does exist and someone must be willing to stop evil.
if not good people then who will?.
many years ago, i asked a sister this question: "if no one had stopped hitler (the best example of evil at the time) what would have happened?

OK, so where would we be today, if American and her allies had not fought Hitler? What if they had sat back and remained "neutral"? What would have happened?? Think you and I would be sitting here today??
Yes we would still be sitting here...Europe might have been screwed though. I agree with Bradley and u/d, and I can understand how a Christian would want to remain neutral in expectation of God's intervention. I don't necessarily agree with it myself, although I am generally against war (I like Revolutions though!) From what I know of Christianity, it does not mix with patriotism AT ALL, which is ironic since it seems to go hand in hand in this country.

Berry girls case: Analysis of case law favorable to the WTS
by loveis inok, just to play devil's advocate for a minute here (or, now for our weekly session of classroom law on court tv .
posted below is a past new hampshire supreme court case that is very favorable to the wts position in the berry girls' case, and has surely been cited by them big time in their briefs (it was mentioned briefly by wts lawyer donald gardner in the audio, which has been posted on these boards several times, of the oral argument session before the nh supreme court.
laws 1971, 531:2. in 1973, the penalty section was amended to provide that a violation would constitute a misdemeanor.

And a law court awarded a person money because she scalded herself with hot coffee from Macdonalds - just because it is law does not make it morally correct. To coin a phrase "The Law is an Ass"
That women very well deserved that money...I suggest you look up the information on that case and why she sued them, it was very legitimate and McDonalds deserved to pay for her skin surgery.

I have been given a cd with George Benson singing Kingdom Songs. There is a woman singing a duet with him on a few tracks but I do not know who she is. There is about 10 tracks on the cd.
Blondie, does this contradict what you know about it being a performance at Gilead grad? That's funny if Benson was invited to Gilead grad...let's see, how long was he inactive? My parents played that song for me...they only have the duet on their computer...but they said it was Benson and Celine Dion (not that she impresses me anyway.)

I don't have a elder's manual, but I have seen the BOE letters. The current policy is that if there is an accusation they are told to call the society right away. The society finds out what state they are in. If the state requires reporting, them tell them to notify the authorities. If the state does not require reporting, then they tell them to ask the accused if it is true. If they deny it, then they drop the whole thing unless a second accusation comes forward.

He's probably gone, but...
I don't think you are bad people, just very badly misguided.
I'll pray for all of you.
You pompous twit...how's that for hostility. I don't need your prayers because God probably looks at you and says "You pompous twit." Your religion has a few bad eggs? That's funny. You have the light? That's even funnier. You preach a loving God....but if you don't believe he is loving then he will let you be spit roasted in an eternal hell? Get lost...
