  Execution in United States Are You For It?

  by jayhawk1 in

  from the ap.... raleigh, n.c. - a man who killed his wife and father-in-law pinned his hopes on last-minute intervention from the governor or the courts as he awaited lethal injection early friday in the nation's 1,000th execution since capital punishment resumed in 1977. kenneth lee boyd, set to die at 2 a.m., spent the day receiving visitors, including two sons who watched him gun down their mother and grandfather in 1988. .

  my questions are; are you for or against the death penalty?

  what was your opinion of the death penalty as a jehovah's witness?.

  I'm really torn on this one.

  If you have someone that is a repeat offender - be it murder or any form of child abuse - then they are dangerous to society, and should be permanently removed.

  If it's a first time offence, they should be incarcerated, with regular psychological reviews. If they show no signs of genuine remorse - then execute them, cos they'll only end up in the category above.

  That would be ideal if the justice system was 100% accurate in its guilty / non guilty verdicts.

  However, it isn't. What about the poor sods that get framed or falsely accused, or just let down by poor legal representation ? How could their execution, which in effect would be murder, be justified ?

  As no justice system can be infallable, how can it justify a death sentence ?

  That's my personal feelings on it, and why I'm torn in my views.

  What view did you have of apostates when you were a JW?

  i can remember being an attendant at one of the circuit assemblies in nottingham, where a group of pentecostals were picketing out by one of the gates.

  i was intrigued for a short while, until a guy in a motorised wheelchair type thing, tried to get into the assembly by ramming himself into us.

  i could of quite happily baptised him in the trent !!

  My sister and my nephew, again

  by DanTheMan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as some of you may recall from other threads i have started on this topic, my sister is engaged in a battle for my 15 year-old nephew's mind, with her adversaries being her pentecostal ex-husband, his wife, and their church.. i wish i could say that my sister is a great parent and that this is purely a black and white issue, but unfortunately i have to admit that my sister leaves *much* to be desired as a parent.. my nephew, who is a pretty typical 15 year-old boy, is often in need of gentle correction for his sometimes thoughtless behavior.

  but gentle correction is not what he gets from my sister, not in the least.

  what he gets from her is constant anger, screaming, accusations, and the like.. a couple of examples:.

  my wife and i have a new cat - a 7 month old blue smoke persian named olly (pedigree name is pannonius olympian).

  olympian he is too - weighing in at 5kg already !!.

  he's extremely timid, and hides pretty much constantly, meowing (squeaking now cos i think he's made his throat sore, poor mite).

I was intrigued for a short while, until a guy in a motorised wheelchair type thing, tried to get into the assembly by ramming himself into us. I could of quite happily baptised him in the Trent !! That one act of irrational behaviour instantly told me that the JW's were right about us.

  Even when I was disfellowshipped, I never imagined I'd ever be here, one of the rank and file apostates...

  I hated my ex and the Elders who disfellowshipped me - now, I could almost kiss their feet in gratitude........ almost !

  What views or experiences did you guys have ?

  Bull! <= in a contemplative mood tonight !

  I feel for your nephew, as I do for you witnessing it and not feeling like you can do anything about it.

  I have the same problem with my daughter and her psychotic mother, and for now all I can do is comfort her when she says she doesn't want to go home.

  What is it with some people ? They don't deserve children

  like a mother who changes her babies' diapers. The cutest poos in the world, even if stinky

  LMAO Lily - that's gross, yet funny !

  Don't be too hard on Defd - I didn't find the joke amusing either, but at least he had the decency to apologise! I guess that means we can take one less kick at his boll**ks !!

  There are trainer kits you can buy

  I'm gonn have to look for one of those Brenda... not only is it more sanitary... but can you imagine visitors surprise if they go the loo to find the cat squeezing one out !! Being able to flush too would be the icing on the cake !!!

  Bull! <=wondering if he can teach the cat to wipe...... !

  Oops! The lens in my eye popped out!

  by Elsewhere in

  2. friends

  about 12 years ago i developed a cataract in my right-hand eye after an injury.

  the surgeon went in and removed my natural lens and implanted an artificial one.

  the way they remove the natural lens is they use a little device to chop it up and then they just pluck the bits-n-pieces out.. what has happened is when they did the surgery 12 years ago they missed a piece of the chopped up lens because it was hiding behind my iris.
