  Just returned from South America

  by StarTrekAngel in

  2. experiences

  i just came back from visiting family in south america (will keep the name of the country out for now) and i was shocked by the amount of jws i saw on the street.

  keep in mind that most countries in sa have been under military rule until the early 80s, with the general fear and mindset sticking around until the late 90s, even when the military was gone and democracy re established.

  jw were not around when i lived there.

  All sorts of Christian Fundamentalist faiths are exploding in South America. Religion thrives in misery.

  in audacity of hope he writes: i will stand with the muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

  the quote comes from page 261 of the paperback edition of the audacity of hope.. he couildn't march in solidarity.

  yesterday the "political winds shift" happened.

  ""future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam." 
  

  "Sounds to me like Obama sympathizes with Jihadists."

  Actually he would be speaking against the Jihadists whom he believes are the ones distorting and 'slandering' the prophet Mohammed. He might be wrong in his belief that Islam is a religion of peace, as with the Old Testament and the New, but that is a typical Liberal assumption as regarding the 'peacefulness' of all religions.

  he heard gunman amedy coulibaly enter the store and open fire, killing four customers, it was later learned.

  It's good to hear that kind of news as well as the fact that one of the policemen who was killed was also a Muslim. Hopefully the media will report on that. Thank you, Giordano, for this post.

  "Oh yeah the Watchtower studies for March and the special talk, all about marriage/family. How do I endure that? I am torn, do I fake it and live in that condition?"

  I suggest you try to minimize your torture by not attending that meeting. Short of a divorce I would simply suggest you stay separated but that will remove your chance of remarriage.

  Do you still believe that the Witnesses are the truth? If you do that will affect your decision.

  Titch, I'm trying to send you a PM but I can't seem to figure it out. Perhaps you can send me a PM so I can respond.
