  I'd throw Austin, and San Antonio Texas onto the list. St. Louis, Missouri is also really cool, especially if you're a sports fan.

  I'm sick of KH builds. I believe the sole purpose behind the constant push for new KH's is to establish a false sense of forward progress in the rank-and-file mind. It is poor fiscal planning to sell a property you just paid off, and take on an even greater debt load to build a new building. Especially when it stretches the congregation beyond it's means.

  What a sham!

  Lebanon and Israel

  wow you guys really made me think with the response to my faith topic, i was just arguing with a friend today over israel and invading lebabon and he quoted all the bible scriptures to me trying to show me that, israel were the chosen people of god and how god allowed them to go in and slaughter the canninties (first recorded insident of genocide) including killing small children, and i asked is that what christ jesus died for so god could order the slaughter of babies for the jews?

  so you are saying that not only is god a racist, but not a god of love as well?

  if god created all of us from the dust why would he love one race more than another?

  Thankfully, there is also a large number of Israeli Jews who are for peace and for living in harmony with their Palestinian neighbours. However, right now one has to ask is it the zealots who are calling the tune or the peacemakers?

  That was a great post Dansk!

  I've often wondered why don't the Israeli's just chunk off a piece of land, and give the Palestinians their own country (along with partial ownership of Jerusalem of course). Why is it so hard for the Israeli's to understand the Palestinians desire to have their own country?

  Man, if I had a dollar for every shade-tree JW mechanic being taken advantage of story....well I could afford to pay for auto work myself! I think JW's are the worst about taking advantage of others. I worked for an elder once doing construction work, he still owes me around 500 bucks; that was about 12 years ago think he'll ever pay me?

  but nothing regarding the two U.S. soldiers who were kidnapped, had their eyes ripped out and then were beheaded?

  Or the three Blackwater Security agents (i.e. former U.S. Navy Seals) who were burned alive, dragged through the streets of Baghdad, and hung from a bridge.

  Jehovah's Witnesses and beards

  by Dave_T in

  2. beliefs

  when i was a jw, i don't remember having read in the watchtower literature a rule explicitely forbidding to be bearded.

  the pictures depicting "faithful witnesses" of the past (abraham, job,, moses, the apostles, etc.

  ) always show bearded men.

  It really is a silly "rule" isn't it? I now proudly wear a well trimmed goatee, I love the looks I get from my JW family members, they reaffirm just how silly and shallow the JW culture is. They are like a bunch of prissy little school girls.

  I might also add that if it weren't for America, most of Europe would be speaking German right now.

  If Canada was invaded tommorrow, America would be right there to defend her. Let the Canadians say what they want to about Americans, most of us are a pretty decent sort of people.
