free2b. Yes, Israel has nukes. But your implying that they would use them if they were losing a conventional war. (The mistake their enemies made in the 6 day war is that they were not a cohesive, functioning coalition and their military leaders were a bunch of cronies with no real military experience. Nothing's changed. That's why they resort to terrorism). Israel showed great restraint in the Gulf war when Saddam was lobbing huge missiles into their country, any one of which could have contained nerve gas. They stayed completely out of that conflict because the US didn't want to lose Saudi cooperation to clean it up themselves. I see the real worry as N. Korea, Iran and Pakistan. If they even twitch like they are going to use a nuke their countries will be turned into a puddle of glass, innocents and all.

55Do you think a nuclear weapon will be used in war or terrorism in our time?
by free2beme inwith all those nukes out there, and all the countries that have them or are making them.
do you think it is something we should expect, that in our lifetime a nuclear weapon will be used in war or an act of terrorism?
i personally think it is possible, and i think it would be the middle east that would see this happening.

Unfortunately, yes. If not an actual nuclear bomb, perhaps a "dirty bomb", that is, a conventional explosive device used to scatter radioactive material that could contaminate an area for possibly hundreds of years.
If and when this happens the retaliation against the perps. will be like nothing ever seen before.

The World (YAWN) Cup
by Gregor insoccer could be played without using a ball and nobody would notice.
come on, an hour and a half of watching a big pinball machine, with players falling down writhing in fake agony trying to get bogus fouls called?
endless arguing with refs over tedious rules violations.

Soccer could be played without using a ball and nobody would notice. Come on, an hour and a half of watching a big pinball machine, with players falling down writhing in fake agony trying to get bogus fouls called? Endless arguing with refs over tedious rules violations. And the big payoff? Games that end 0-0, or 1-1. Wow. I'd rather watch golf.

Firearms And Shooting...
by Justice-One ini thought i would open up a thread on firearms and shooting.
personally i was raised around firearms as my dad was not a jw.
some of my earliest memories are of my dad teaching me how to put a round in a fleas ass at 200 meters.

The only firearm I own is a twelve gauge Mossburg with Pachmyr black rubber pistol & pump grips. Also known as a 'street sweeper'. I used to have a couple of nice handguns but with 5 kids in the house I thought I'd be better off with something they wouldn't be able to load a shell in the chamber let alone get the safety off and shoot it.
It gives me a feeling of some protection in case kid-a and his brother ever come around and tell me to "get out of those little panties and squeal like a pig."

Do You REALLY Believe That A Pedophile Issue Will Bring Down The Watchtower
by minimus ini see the excitement and thrill when a jw gets nailed for pedophilia.
i'm happy when any of these creeps get caught.
but i just don't think that this is what will bring down the organization.
-

Gregor
Bring it down? No.
But embarassment, lawsuits and $ settlements, unguarded responses like JR Browns that will haunt them, fence sitters finally jumping out, possible recruits that will never happen, XJWs energized and motivated, it goes on and on. It's ALL GOOOD.
Another reason it won't be brought down, the rank and file that simply will not allow it because their miserable lives are too entwined in it to ever allow it. They'll call it persecution and let it go at that.

- JWs are BIBLE STUDENTS only. The Governing Body is NOT SPIRIT INSPIRED.
- JWS as a whole are NOT INSPIRED
- JWs are not the ONLY spokesperson organization of God on earth
- THERE IS NO SPECIAL LINE TO GOD that the JW church has (I shit you not)
I bet there are a few DF'd witnesses who would have loved to have known this stuff before they were DF'd for asking embarassing questions about the WTS inconsistencies.
