Why I think Bush is scary

by Simon in

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4767542/ in woodward's portrait, president bush is single-minded, and possibly simple-minded, in his resolve.

he seems to have relied more on divine guidance than the considered opinions of his top advisers.

bush told woodward that as he approached the final decision to go to war, "i was praying for strength to do the lord's will ... i'm surely not going to justify war based on god.

YOU don't have to buy into that believe. But you don't have the right to say that others who want economic freedom, the ability to live well, feed and educated their children well, travel, ENJOY life--are simply being hypnotized by the media.

Hey guys, sorry about the font.

And Blacksheep, was that what you gathered from what I said? People wanting those freedoms are simply being hypnotized...Really? Do you think that everything on TV is good for you and your family? I'll go back and re-read what I wrote before...

One example comes to mind: There are a lot of people who buy into the notion that if a local singer or music group isn't on the radio, their just not good enough. We're taught this at a very young age that if you're not there, you're invalid. Do you believe the Grammys show the 'best' music? This is a simple example but it does show how we're manipulated to except everything that is thrown at us as being great.

I've gone on to study how the media works. It's basically a study of the human mind and how to 'massage' into the mind through subliminal messages the item being sold. There are a lot of things done to us that we don't realize. I'm not trying to sell a conspiracy package here but as ex-jdubs I think we need to avoid accepting everything that we were kept away from, if you know what I mean.

And, yes, based on knowledge I do have a right to say that subliminals are a powerful thing and most people will get sucked into a certain mindset when it's reinforced continuosly. Some idiot was on this board spewing some stereotypical nonsense about laziness about a group of people and yet no ONE defended these people. I wish I could find the thread because it burned me up when I read it and no one adressed the issue. Does that person have the right to say something like that or do you agree with that?

I do want Dan-O and Porkchop to reply to what I have already said...

Join the Great Crowd today!

by UnDisfellowshipped in

come one, come all -- come join "the great crowd of other sheep" today!.

look at all the "benefits" you will receive (taken directly from watchtower publications):.

* you will not have jesus christ as your mediator between you and god.. * you will have the "faithful and discreet slave" as your only mediator between you and jesus and god.. * you will not be born again.. * you will not be in the kingdom of god.. * you will not be baptized by the holy spirit.. * you will not be anointed by the holy spirit.. * you will not have the holy spirit abide in you.. * you will not be one of the saints or holy ones.. * you will not be adopted as "sons of god" until you pass the final test at the end of the 1,000 year millennial reign of the 144,001, and then, if you pass that test, you can still be destroyed if you rebel against the 144,001, even though the "anointed ones" are given immortal life immediately upon death, and they never have to pass any future tests.. * you will never be immortal -- you can always be destroyed by god in the future for "apostasy".. * you will not be viewed as being perfect in god's eyes until after the final test at the end of the 1,000 years, even though the anointed ones are viewed as being perfect at their baptism.. can anyone else add any additional "benefits" to this list?

Thank you Realist

I agree, Sunnygal, Donkey...

Dan-o -

For real: A thatch hut would suit me fine, thanks. No one is critisizing a so called comfortable life but if you want to buy into what your fed via the media as to what is supposed to be a 'great life', you have that freedom don't you. Besides, you're of the priviledged whether you believe it or not.

Porkchop-

They were having such a good time massacreing and eating each other before the dastardly white man got here.

Pass the salt! and 'dastardly white man'? No, these men were on a mission to save the rest of the world from their depths of depravity weren't they?

Using christianity as a means to control others. Using it for an excuse for slavery [and not even using it honorably- the way slavery is shown in the Bible. Instead a people of color were bred like cattle to have the strongest workers as an end product.

And I love this gem:"Well your own people sold them to us." Spin again. It's called tribal warfare and those slaves were prisoners of war. The winning tribes didn't no or care what happened to them.

This sort of reminds me of Adam saying after God asked him what he was doing with the fruit by saying 'It was the woman that YOU gave me who handed me the fruit.' Do you here what I am saying? There's no excuse for that kind of slavery and to pass the buck like that is weak.

Maybe you're not aware of the so-called Civillized Nations [which my ancestors' tribe was a part of] but these were Native Americans who played by the rules of the US [some had become lawyers to present their case of ownership of the land they had occupied before the 'dastardly white man' moved in] and lost! Trail of Tears for you guys was the verdict.

And guess what? Those of us without consideral amount of money are the 'new slaves.'

Sorry to ramble.

Run far, far away....

by Country Girl in

jw
friends

usually, when the human being is in danger, we have a rush of adrenalin: the flight or fight response.

our hands are clammy, our heart races, we may become dizzy, and feel a sense of impending doom.

i found that if i walk into a kingdom hall since i was out (20 years ago) i get those same feelings.

gespro

I get a quick angry flash whenever I see a Hall. I used to see one and get very quiet because I thought it a sacred place.

I would love to go to the one near my house where I last spoke to the elders here and let the head honcho know that I'll give him an old fashioned schoolyard ass whoopin if I see him near my house for talking to me in a subhuman way. I'm sick of their shaming, demeaning nature. I get so mad...somebody, hold me back!

LOL g
