Question:Are the troops there voluntarily are are they conscripted?
I guess most if not all are there by their own choice.
If so then I don't see why I should give support to people who when
their so-called superiors say "Jump" ask them "Ok,how high and how far?"
instead of asking "WHY?"
Suppose they gave a war and *nobody* came to fight it?
If people are so willing to die for their country,then I can't stop them,
but asking us to support them in their suicide mission is going too far.
You can view this as more "rhetoric coming from so many leftists" fine with me.
Here's some more "rhetoric":"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

JW Urban Legends
by Azalo indid any of you hear any of the urban legends that jw's used to scare people into being deathly afraid of demons?

A few urban legends I heard when I was a Jaydub: The one about three pioneers in a country where JW's where forbidden. They were surprised by a thunderstorm and one of them was hit by lightning, the other two searched his belongings to find a contactadress to report his death to.Instead they found out he was a government spy who infiltrated the JW's.They saw his being zapped to death as protection by Jehover. The one about the JW-hater who named his dog "Jehovah".One fine day two JW's where visiting him and he set the dog on them,but it turned and killed his owner. The one which was supposed to prove that the Vatican was satanic,a couple who was visiting the garden over there (As far as I know,the Vatican is not open to visitors so this story already falls apart...) got locked in.While trying to find their way out they heard a loud screaming.A naked woman was running away from some priests or cardinals. They reported this to the police when they finally got out but they were told to leave the city immediately and not to talk to anyone else about what they had seen. Strange enough,I never heard any evil Smurf stories over here in Belgium from where they originate...

Mystical Tarot
by Sirona inwhat do you all think of the tarot?.
are you afraid of it?.
do you think it works?.

The general mistake is that Tarot cards predict your future.
They do nothing of this kind,they act more like a Rorschach test:
They reflect your inner mind and what is going on in it,
just like I Ching and other such "divining" tools...

Misogyny----anyone here guilty?
by Tatiana inafter reading the post on how to "treat your husband," i'd like to know if any men here actually feel this way about women.
everyone jokes around about male/female relationships, but how many really think women are inferior?
i know from some serious posts i've read here, that a few of the men must have really been hurt by someone.

Movies
by chachasmum in.
has anybody ever been to the movies and had people sit behind and talk the whole way through.
i went to see the two towers, ended up leaving before the movie got through, so i did not get to see how it ends.

>Has anybody ever been to the movies and had people sit behind and talk the whole way through...
More than once.I had this happening with the movies "Seven","Road to perdition",and yesterday with "Solaris".
In all three cases I 've let them know what I think of their behaviour in not quite a low voice.
It *does* attract attention of all the others in the theatre but I'm sure they are thankful that someone speaks up...

I'm astounded by the UNDER-PATRIOTISM Displayed
by Yerusalyim inyep,.
it boggles my mind, so many here would rather believe saddam hussein than their own government.
so many here seem certain the bush administration is lying, but trust hussein to tell the truth.

>but trust Hussein to tell the truth.
He is not.
Why must it always be "black or white","with us or against us" with you people?
*Both* leaders are not to be trusted,but Bush is *still* the most dangerous since he is leading the
most powerful (Or so they'd like to think of themselves) country in world...

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES IN THE WT
by justhuman inback in 1990 we found out with some friends(most of us left the borg) that the wt uses demonic pictures in their publicactions, specially the live for ever book... .
when the elders found out that we had this discussion they called us and asked questions why did we had this kind of discussion... .
i remember one of them was shouting (i thing he was possesed) and saying to us that this are what apostates are saying in order to harm the organization... .

>How many of you out there you believe that the WT it is still involved in spiritism?
I think the WTS is an excellent front for a satanic organization,because in these
groups everything is reversed.To the outside they pretend to be against anything
connected to spiritism and satanism, methinks they fulminate *way* too much against it.
Whether you believe in satanism or not (I certainly don't ) is beside the point,*they*
believe it to be effective and so they prey on the "psychic energy" coming from their followers
who devote most of their time and energy to this belief system...

It's amazing and depressing to see how many ex-JW's have replaced the
WTS for their government.To me they are not ex-JW's,they still have the *same* mindset
which makes it very convenient for their leaders to do what they want with them.
So the US wants to go to war and all criticism stops.I mean what's the difference
between a JW who can't hear a wrong word about their organization and a supposed ex-JW
who slavishly follows the *worst* president in American history to go to war with him,without any reservation?
