The dubs at "Witness World" are discussing UN involvement!!!!!
by somebodylovesme ini am a lurker on the "witness world" witnesses-only website.
they are having a discussion because someone during door-to-door service confronted them with the un letter.
they are all saying that it is "obviously made up"... but the person is planning on writing to the society to ask.

Beard and politic
by Trotsky inelders and ministial servants are still today not allowed to be bearded.
it looks higly politicial to me and i beleave it is a leftover from the mccarthy period in the 50s.
joseph mccarthy was a us republican senator and communist witch hunter.

Kidd Rock
by simplesally ingosh, i never thought i would listen to this guy but i have just purchased his cd.
there are only one or two songs i raise my eyebrows to and then switch the song.
i came across this cd from my friend down the street who listens to him (her brother works for his band) and we were driving somewhere, correction, she was driving and said, "my car, my music" and then introduced me to some of the songs.

I saw the VH1 special on him and was totally impressed... Truly a rags to riches story... I had only known of him beacause of his relationship with Pamela Anderson. Haven't heard much of his music yet..

The war was waged because of Paul Wolfowitz's vision of how the US could transform the middle east. With Iran surrounded by the US now on three fronts: Afgahnistan, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf.. Iran will fall without a shot fired. With Turkey and Iraq as staging grounds, the US can apply serious pressure to Syria also... The house of Sa'ad in Saudi Arabia will take the longest... In 50 years, the economic prosperity in Iraq should spill over into the whole region... I foresee Isreal's relationship with the US waning as the Palestinians will be given a state.. In fact by 2050, war with Isreal is a real possibility.. We'll cut their aid, and may even help the Palestinians in building a military if they accept a leader that will play by our rules..
Saddam being a butcher, and the possibility of him having WMD were secondary. Wolfowitz sold to Rumsfield and Bush his vision...

How did you wrap your gifts?
by plmkrzy ini can remember, when ever wraping gifts for weddings baby showers etc always making sure not to wrap the ribbon in the tradidional "cross" design.
we always either wrapped the corners only or just stuck a bow on it.. it was extreemely rare to see someone bring a gift wrapped in a cross ribbon.. anyone else remember back that far?.
is that practice still going on to this day?

Scrubmaster,
Talk to a divorce attorney, and let them know what you've found. This is between you and you're wife...and God.. Leave the elders out of it. Sorry you're going through this..

The Earth
by U.2.K. Tha Greate$t ini think the people who said's that they are going to heaven is the ones who are so upset that when they lose a love one or see death, they just put aside and say in their heart that armageddon is not coming, a new earth is not coming, therefore im going or we "must" go to heaven.. i dont agree with the jw on everything(some things they say dont make no damn sense), but one thing they taught me is that god's cares for his footstool.
in the bible it said's: the earth was creator for a purpose and this purpose was not made in vain, the earth has a purpose, behold the earth is the home of humans.
the bible is full of evidence that the god will not get rid of the earth and a new holy city(which is a new heaven and a new earth) is coming.
