  I fail to see how any of this thread is anti american, if anything its pro american as it shows we care how the United States is being governed. We are merely discussing the political blunders and mishaps of the united states president Bush. Which in my opinion, he is a pinhead that continuously makes an ass of himself. But by no means are we being demeaning to the nation as a whole, we are merely showing our disdain for the current leadership because it is effecting the whole world. I just don't understand how some can so vehemently stick up for his mismanagement and turn a blind eye to all his stupidity. That goes for the Bush administration as a whole because as Sam said its not just Bush but all his cronies.

  Witnesses.....will they REALLY be any different in the New System?

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in talking to a fellow ex-dub buddy of mine the other day, it occured to me that in many ways....witnesses could be living the life they expect to live in the new system.......but they don't.. in the publications we see picture after picture of smiling brothers helping each other frame each others new houses ....for free.

  we also never see in the publications poor african people walking through aligator/ piranna infested swamps to get to a kingdom hall either in the new system.. .

  the fact is......brothers hire brothers in this system to help build their new homes and are taught not to expect free labor, but to pay them as you would the next guy.. with regards to the poor africans.....and others...., the jehovahs witness organisation has enough money to see that fellow believers in poorer countries should not go hungry or be without a meeting place to worship in.

  They dont because the Watchtower exemplifies the scripture they so often like to place on other churches "They pay service with their lips but their hearts are far removed from me."

  The Watchtower is all talk, always have been and always will be. They paint a nice picture but it will never become reality.

  He is still MY President...and like all of 'em...I give him the respect he deserves....(as I did Clinton too)...

  For one...EVERY single soldier I've met and talked to...is behind their Commander and Chief...odd?

  This is a go nowhere discussion...at best.

  Please be polite...and show respect.

  u/d(of the hate the man if you choose,but...respect the position class)

  This is the reason why Bush is still in power, because of people attitudes similar to this one. Even if he is decietful and a liar they still blindly throw their support his way, and then attack the ones who try and voice their opinion of his wrongful leadership. This is as stupid as continuing to follow the governing body when they too have been decietful and wrong. Are they still your governing body upside down? Do you still give them the respect they deserve? So why should we do that for a incompitent leader of a country. How does the rule change for Bush? I dont understand how people think this is anti american, this is using freedom of speach which is a given right and using it to voice the deciet and deception by the American presidential cabinet.

  Is disfellowshipping bad?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems that some people are keen to use disfellowshipping as the measure of anything bad.

  if someone is deleted from a forum for being obnoxious then that is akin to being disfellowshipped and is b-a-d. yada yada yada.. is it?.

  is every disfellowshipping "bad" simply by virtue of being a disfellowshipping?.

  My take on the discussion board is the administrator of the site has the right to implement rules and enforce these rules with necessary actions. I really hate to see people deleted from these boards and I dont know the whole story behind any of the deletions and their may be many factors only the administrator and these deleted ones know. So we must abide by the administrators actions, confident he took the correct action toword these ones. Maybe their were misunderstandings, or things got escalated, but I would hope some of the deleted ones may in time be allowded back.

  Personally I think having web site wars because ones are mad over thier deletion is silly and they need to realize the real picture. This site is meant to help ones discover the truth about the watchtower society and to help them in the process of leaving that organization. To use it for any other means especially for personal vendetta's is selfish and sadly these ones have lost the whole point of this site being in existence.

  Both this site and the other Ex JW site serve valid purposes and both have excellent posters of which I enjoy thier comments, but to take revenge over deletions really detracts from the main purpose of the sites. Sure it makes good gossip maybe but what would the newbies think about it? Just a thought, since I wish for the betterment of all that both sites could work in unison for the enlightenment of others.

  I dont know if its a Matthew 24 fullfillment as this has happened down throughout history. Thats all we need is some fanatics like the JW's to spout the end of the world fullfillment. Its a part of our history and will continue to be one, whether this marks the end or not is not upto us to decide but lies in God's hands.

  I wouldn't call it mild Gill. Out of 118 human transmitted cases the WHO reports a death count of 61. Thats over 50% death rate, a little more then a mild flu I would think. Lets face it were due for one and its going to come sooner or later. Of course people have to carry on and can't panic but the experts know its coming.

  I know they have found one British parrot carrying the deadly H5N1 strain, the parrot is deceased though and they are conducting tests on it. The parrot originated from South America and was imported into Britian.

  I think its due time for a epidemic anyway, not that its a good thing but we are overdue for the next big killer flu. It will probably come soon and people are going to die thats what has always occured throughout history, a natural cycle of life, death, and survival.

  Yes I totally agree this war in Iraq was fought for the wrong reasons. Too many innocent people have given their lives in the face of the Bush administrations lies and deciet. I encourage everyone to watch "Farenheight 911" in which thier underhandeness is all exposed. Its not the soldiers fault for being their its the corruption in the government that leads them.
