Yeru, there is a helluva lot more evidence and facts to support what MM asserts about Bush than Bush can come up with to support his reasoning for invading a country that does not want the US there. BUSH IS A LIAR and a FRAUD.

I saw the images of Iraqis welcoming the US military. Yayy! The American saviors are here to liberate us from the dictator Hussein! Hoorayyyyyyy! Yeah right. Hell, what else were they going to do? Bombs exploding everywhere, homes and hospitals blown to peices, your friends, family members, babies, innocent civilians being shot up, mulitated and blown into peices right before your eyes . . . I would hold up a welcome sign too just hoping the Americans didn't blow my goddamned head off.

NOW, every chance they get, in the darkness, whenever, however, they send a clear message to all of us that the US is NOT welcome in their country. They send that message everytime they kidnap a soldier or civilian, behead them, blow up an American soldier, set off a carbomb, shoot an American or any other foriegner who stands on their soil. Hussein and his posse are gone, so who is doing all of this???? Who is left? It's just the people of Iraq. They don't want the US in their country.

Michael Moore is reading between the lines and getting his beliefs out to the public and his making money off of it does not invalidate just how close to the real truth he is.

Keep on believing the TV and the Times . . . hope it works out for you.

O'Reilly will nail him to specifics and not let him filibuster, of that I'm sure. Should be interesting.

O'Reilly will do all the filibustering, and his sound guy will make sure of that. Should be very slanted and biased as usual.

Moore has alot of guts to go on The Factor, not because he has anything to hide or really defend, but simply because O'Reilly is a jerk and will dominate the segment with his dogmatic conservative blubbering.

I just returned from seeing F9-11. Whatever facts that might be in error in this film, it soooooooo nails Bush and his buddies for what they O'REALLY are. God save us from another 4 years of that sob.

POST YOUR REALLY HARD JW QUESTIONS HERE SO I CAN CALL BRANCH

by tresbella in

jw
friends

i plan to call up the branch office and pose as an 'interested one' and ask a bunch of difficult questions i am almost positive no jw witness will be able to ansewr.

1. if the supposed "light is getting brighter" then does that not mean that it is possile that many of the teachings that the society is teaching now may be false such as blood transfusions and the 1914 teaching?

2. since any witness who speaks against the wt and refutes one of their teachings and is therefore disfellowshipped for it, what if the very teaching that they spoke against turned out to be wrong later on?

Corvin

Please ask them "why one of the elders who disfellowshipped me for making out with a sister was able to function for years and years, before-during-and-after my disfellowshipment, as an elder while smoking cigs and carrying on an affair on his wife?"

Thank you,

Corvin

What a suprise, Moore agrees to meet with Moore on a night that the posibility of preemption.

Sure, whatever. You are so insightful, cynical . . . and stuff.

Oh well, I'll be watching for some roasted pig, tonight.

What? If you are referring to Bill O'Reilly, you really should not be so mean. I don't really care for O'Reilly either, and we all know he is the BIGGEST, FATTEST spin doctor sharing a studio with Sean Hannity, but you don't have be so insulting to the man. At least he can complete an entire sentence with like real grammatical structure and everything . . .

We are about witness a really cool battle of two master spinners. It should be a real hoot. Bill's strategy has always been transparent: If you start to make a valid point on Bill's show, he has his own sound guy to turn the volume of his mic up so that he can start his snotty little self-righteous tirades, talking over his guest. He will do the same thing to MM.

I am getting ready right now to take my daughter to see F9-11. We will also be watching the pre-empted O'Reilly factor together tonight.

"The One Mistake All Jehovah's Witnesses Have Made"

by Cameron in

a while back i mentioned my upcoming book, captives of a concept.

(gary busselman had a very nice comment about it.

) it should be coming out next month.

Corvin

So yeah, we never questioned what we were being taught.

Well, I know "The One Mistake All Jehovah's Witnesses Have Made" when they leave, they throw the baby out with the bathwater!

I know somebody that should have been thrown out with the bathwater.

You are entitled to your opinion, to believe what you want to believe, but shut up with that crap. I need a shower.

Lot's of build up, lots of name dropping in that very tantilizing plug. The boy can write a plug!

I will probably read your book, however, I don't need to read it to know what mistake I and every other x-JW, present JW and future JW has and will make. That's a no-brainer. None of us ever really questioned what we were being taught, what we were willing to believe. Most likely, not one of us ever went outside the slanted and limited information dispensed to us from the WTBTS to find out if these things were really so.

Folks like me who were born and raised in the organization never stood a chance tho.

Those who came into the org as adults . . . well . . . I just don't know. There are lots of reasons, I suppose, based on what I have read here on this forum.

I hope your book devotes a chapter to praising the greatest decision most of us have ever made since being a JW. Can you tell me what that is?

Lot's of success on your book.

how to the 144,000 get to heaven?

by in a new york bethel minute in

i have asked this to witnesses and they say it's their spirit, which is their life forces that goes up to heaven... that makes no sense to me.

because isn't the spirit, in effect, taking on the properties we normally consider the soul as having?

so what's the difference what you call it?

Corvin

The holy spirit bears witness inside them and they are born again.
Dont you know anything about christianity?

Well, since you put it like that, I can say that I am of the 144,000, too. Prove me wrong.

How do the 144,000 get to heaven?

I guess nobody really knows. One of those gray areas. Hey GB! How about some NEW LIGHT!

By the way, how is it again that one knows they are of the 144,000?

Does any one know what C T Russell died from??

by frankiespeakin in

jw
friends

i know the wt has said why knorr and rutherford died but not russell.

this omission seems somewhat strange, being that he was so prominant his followers would naturally be curious as to the cause of death of their beloved leader.

here is a clip from 1916 12/1/1916 wt concerning his death no mention of what caused it.. http://www.ctrussell.us/.

Corvin

I heard Rutherford put a pillow over Russell's face while he slept.
