i believe that the bombings shortened the war in the pacific and probably saved countless lives.
i am not an expert on this subject but given the times it was probably the correct and moral thing to do.. what say you all?.
"Originally there was some talk by the Allies of first demonstrating the A-bomb.
"But then the argument was: What if it doesn't work or doesn't work well?"
The weakness for that argument is that if an unannounced bomb failed over a city the same thing would have happened giving the same impression. The Japanese would have realized what it was.
mr stewart has uncovered enough evidence of the horrors of this process set in motion by a bunch of lunatics suffering from a messiah complex and so the findings of this inquiry will will mark a beginning in the infrastructure of this institution being limited severely by laws of the land.
i'm sure new legislation that will be forth coming will be tackling this major problem head long.
lostwun here, i joined 2 months ago but am now just finding the courage after doing more research to formally introduce myself to the board and embrace my new beginnings as an ex-jw.
i am a second-generation jw.
i grew up with parents who are well known and very respected in many circuits.

i've been reading a book called nonsense from the bible.
in it it makes the point that the romans did not crucify robbers.
having since researched this it seems this is true.
It's interesting that the New International Version uses the word "rebels" instead of thieves in Matthew 27:38 and Mark 15:27. In Luke 23:39-40 it uses the word "criminal".
As for the Tau shaped of the cross there is the minor issue of the sign of condemnation that lies above their heads (Matthew 27:37 NIV). Whatever it is that would have allowed a sign to be put overhead would have given the cross a t shape, not quite a "Tau".

Prior to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings, Tokyo had been napalm bombed with 100,000 people burning to death.
Would that be considered a war crime?
Nuclear bombs have an advantage over conventional bombs of course since they are more concentrated in mass compared to an equivalent firepower of conventional explosives. That makes them easier to use which is where their danger lies.
has anyone here re-watched that last day?
the part where justice mcclellan is asking mr jackson if he feels that this royal commission is a sincere effort to make some good changes in policy...?.
and does mr jackson feel it would be worth it to put a collective effort, along with other organizations to compensate or find means of redress, for the victims of child sexual abuse?.
well in a month where i had a friend of 20 years tell me "we can't kick it no mo" because i no longer go to meetings, i had an even older friend who is coming to visit me, call me and tell me hes out.. currently a high profile ms who gives talks out all over the place, the elders said they are recommending him for appt to the body in sep when the co is coming through.
but nope......hes about to step down all together.. what did it?
because i am not disfellowshipped, and soft peddle my issues with the org, i was able to speak to him about things like blood, and a couple other things.
problemaddict 2:
"...she wanted to raise her kids as JW's to give them a moral center..."
No, it would not be a good moral upbringing. The hypocrisy that they'll notice is not moral. The friends that they'll have in that religion aren't necessarily "good association" especially if they lead a double life.
in the photodrama of creation there's a picture of the solar system.. there are 12 solar orbiting objects.
(also a 13th orbit which seems to be a comet, probably halley).
does anyone know where russell got this from?.
well its been a while since i've posted on here but i guess i just need someone to talk to.
i've recently turned 16 and i guess life is just starting to hit me like a ton of bricks.
i'm still not sure what i want to do with my life.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy but I'm too afraid to tell my parents because I know they will just send me right back to the mental hospital. What should I do?"
Hi BlackWolf. I'm assuming you've had certain problems before. Find a doctor and get on some good medications for your depression. A lot of creative people have had personal issues to deal with.
