  Anyone who thinks that one party is better then another, is ignorant to a huge degree.

  The US seems to be playing world politics as though we were in a war - the 'war on terror' is all made up by the US. No-one is attacking the US. Egypt and Bali had terrorist outrages but didn't feel a need to attack Afghanistan and Iraq. I am worried that the US is the world's most dangerous nation as it starts wars. I'm gutted that we Brits sacrificed our integrity to join in. All the losses of personal freedom won't do one single thing to stop a nutter with a bomb but they do hand over control of personal freedoms to a megalomaniac power. When will the US politicians realise they have no right to invade or play in other countries politics. Two times the US has saved the world (WW1 and WW2) and when its played this role it is loved by everyone - its just forgotten those principles and corrupt leadership has played its part. My halfpenny

  Boy Howdy, I totally agree with this statement. This government of ours is getting worse by the day and it is not just republicans it's democrat's too. They are all worthless to Americans and when we go to the polls I suggest we clean the whole damn house and Presidency out. I say fire them all and bring in a new government with fresh meat to pick on. LOL

  Thoughts...

  all to often, my mind drifts to my mixed feelings for my mother.

  the deep love that burned in my heart for the woman who had given me life.. the suicidal remorse i felt for bringing such guilt and reproach on her good name.. the blinding anger i felt for her never questioning her beliefs, but always questioning her son.. and so i'm left with a vacuous emotional chamber for a large element that is missing from my soul.. and when you've lost your most valuable possesion, everything else is gravy on an empty plate - pointless.. and so i hurt too, and i love my mom, but does she love me?

  the unanswered question haunts my mind.. we recieve, we give, and sometimes, we just plain screw up.

  Richie,

  Hey man I can relate to your pain. My mother is also a witnoid. I love my mother very much and after I left the cult I received a rashing of evilness like I have never seen from my mother. Oh she has done her evil deeds in the past to all my siblings and to me too but none like I went through when I left the cult. She hurt me deeply by attacking the very morals and beliefs that I hold so dear and close. You actually have had it pretty easy so far as much as I know about your side considering what I went through by my mother.

  I never knew that my mother could be so evil but she is. All because I quit a cult ! So my dear friend I know just how you feel. My best advice to you is to just keep being who you are, be true to yourself, stand strong for your beliefs and hopefully someday your mother will come around. You should feel so lucky not to have a mother like mine but even through the fog I still love my mother, not because of what she does or does not do but because she is the one who gave me life.

  I pray for you and I hope for you that you will find peace within yourself. Try to find forgiveness for your mothers actions and you will then find that peace within yourself and it does help you understand where she is coming from. It is a control from a cult and is not your real mother who has or is doing the things you are enduring. Pray for your mother and maybe she will be a different person towards you in the future.

  i have four sons and my youngest is a daughter.. she leaves for the army on thursday.

  i am in a state of panic and emotion to try to convince her to not go.. i just heard on tv that becuase of the rising violence in bahgdad, bush is sending more troops to iraq.

  the developments in isreal and lebanon only seem to be escalating.......the un asking britian and us for help but because of prior commitments......(iraq) are unable.

  Non-JW asks: Why do JWs allow drinking? But forbid Birthdays?

  by whyizit in

  2. friends

  my jw friend recently condemned birthdays using two scriptures that spoke of evil men killing people on their birthdays.

  seems to me that the men were evil, not the birthdays.

  today is my birthday.

  Isn't that funny ? The bible clearly says a drunkerd cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven but no where does it say if you have a birthday party your going to hell does it ?
