We could compile a list of what we have so that anyone looking for specific articles would have a contact. I think we have access to more than we realize.

  My dad bought me a used 2 door chevy nova convertible to commute to college. (he was an elder) The CO tried to get him on 2 issues.. my going to college and my 2 door convertible. The college issue was priceless...my dad made him look like an idiot. On the car issue my dad explained that he got a great deal on it that he couldn't pass up. Someone in his office sold it to him just when I needed it. Being an art major I had decorated the top with painted flowers...very realistic flowers. My father challenged the CO to show him how flowers would bring dishonor to Jehovah. It was 1969. The whole thing was hilarious. Dad won.

  A Muslim thinks JW's are a Menace to them

  hey guys, i found the following to be quite interesting, they have some great links to jw literature, maybe this will help the lurkers to see that the house to house preaching waste of time, is pretty redundant as many religious people are now wise to the fallacy of the borg.

  what to you guys think?.

  Hi Robdar,

  I don't agree with you...just recognize that you have every right to your opinion. .. as do I. I don't have an agenda...but I don't see the world through your eyes. I've had very different experiences than you have...

  No peace offering necessary....

  Jesus was letting then know that because of following Him, their families might reject them. He never suggested that they reject their families.

  Robdar,

  Fanatics can be found in any belief system...(not just Christian & Muslim) and that is where the danger lies. Some groups are able to exploit this with horrible results. It seems to be happening within the Muslim community on a larger scale than anywhere else in the world. I don't deny that there have been some Christians who have done some terrible things in the name of religion. The difference I see is that Fundamentalist Muslims are taught to hate. They don't seem to have much respect for the value of human life. Christians are taught the love of Christ. (some don't get it., i know..but I think most do)

  I won't attempt to convince you that there is a difference. You have made up your mind, and you are entitled to your opinion.

  yeah, Robdar...Pat Robertson does say some pretty dumb things....but I don't think you need to worry that he will be organizing any suicide bombers or beheadings any time soon.
