4 second, jehovah's witnesses have been targets of false accusations-barefaced lies and twisted presentations of their beliefs.
as a result, they have been the object of unjustified attack in some lands.

and to think, i thought i was valuing my precious gift of life so much that i was willing to sumbit to a violent crime in order stay alive.
how twisted my thinking.
...If a woman adopts the provocative, suggestive styles of dress now so prevalent, she indicates that she is a woman of loose morals, and in so doing she may invite trouble.
notice it DOES NOT say: She MAY indicate that she is a woman of loose morals
Nope.
It's direct statement. requote: "she INDICATES THAT SHE IS IS IS IS IS IS IS a woman of loose morals."
Now I'm beginning to understand WHY there are ANONYMOUS authors to these articles.
Every Victim, Every Victim's partner would probably corner this idiot in an alley. Make a comment on how his "shirt and tie" is "turning them on"...take a stick...bend the author of this article over, and proceed to exemplify the "logic" of the WTBTS.
Why blame the Victim/Victim's partner for doing this action? They are just using the same "logic" as the WTBTS.
The authors "shirt and tie" provoked the attack...who knows? Perhaps the "shirt and tie" was "provocative".
So please do as the WTBTS logic suggests...find a Governing Body member, notify them that their suit is "turning you on" and proceed to shove a stick up their butt. When they complain, kindly explain from their own article, that you are being a good little witness and doing as told.

found this at shaun's site over at http://www.jwfiles.com/.
shows how their own literature exposes them as false prophets.. .
kings of the north and king of the south .
The Governing Body/WTBTS are probably the ones responsible for exposing the sham known as Miss Cleo.
I mean come on! She was moving in to their "territory". And they did it "western" style....
GoverningBody: "Miss Cleo, there's only room for one of us in this world. And by gum, WE are the only ones capable enough to fail at predictions! Get outta town."

washington (cnn) -- president bush's daily intelligence briefing in the weeks leading up to the september 11 terror attacks included a warning of the possibility that osama bin laden's al qaeda network would attempt to hijack a u.s.-based airliner, senior administration officials said wednesday.
but, the officials said, there was no speculation about the use of an airplane itself as a bomb or a weapon, and no specific, credible information about the possibility of a hijacking of any sort.
hijackers took over the controls of four planes on september 11, 2001. two of those planes plowed into new york's world trade center, another jetliner nose dived into the pentagon and the fourth aircraft crashed into pennsylvania woodlands after passengers tried in vain to overcome the terrorists.
The Government Lie??
What?
No-WAY!
When did this start happening? When did governments start lying to the people? When? When?
.
.
Oh wait...
.
.
People with political agendas exposing the faults of the counter party, so they can have political leverage?
What?
No-WAY!
When did politcal parties in direct dispute in trying to garner power start doing this? When? When?
.
.
Oh wait . . .
.
.
The media sensationalizing a story?
What?
No-WAY!
When did the media start reporting on a story, and blowing it out of wack to get better ratings? When? When?
.
.
Oh wait . . .
.
.
Chocolate and Peanutbutter mixed together?
What?
No-WAY!
When did candy companies start putting chocolate and peanutbutter together making a sweet delicious snack? When? When?
.

Oh wait . . .

while reading another thread on apostates, i did a quick search on the word apostate on the wt cd.
these people are really paranoid about us!.
*** it-1 127 apostasy ***.
Be afraid of APOSTATES!
Be very...afraid.
Mwa
Mwahaha
Mwahahahhahhahhahhha..er.ha..*cough*..*hack*..ha..um..ha. *cough*
WARNING: Evil laughter can cause severe lung and throat damage. The source of evil laughter is attributed to one being an Apostate.
Apostates are evil.
Apostates are the people who go around your nieghborhood, knocking on the door or ringing the door bell, then run away.
Apostates are a secret society plotting the over throw of the world. They have super mutant powers, and they like eating babies...espeacially if they are babies born to Jehovah Witnesses.
Apostates are people who are primary suspects in all: Bank Robberies, School Shootings, Shopliftings, Muggings, Illegal Nuclear Arms Dealings, and Sticking Gum Under Kingdom Hall Seats.
Apostates are responsible for strong arming George Lucas, forcing the movie maker to put Jar Jar Binks in his movies.
Have you ever put your coffee down in a certain spot in your room, then walk away, upon returning the coffee cup has "mysteriously disappeared"....yep, it was an Apostate that relocated your coffee cup. Happens with car keys as well.
Apostates are linked with all known terrorist groups, and like to dress up in Gumbi suits and socialize in various seedy night spots all over the world.
These are some of the FEW examples Apostates' behavior. If you have any questions regarding the source of any facts, pertaining to these above actions, just believe it's true....because...uh...er...we are the Governing Body of the WTBTS....and we just need to say these things and they are true.

only one word is sufficient to describe this film =.
it is not religious persecution for an informed person to expose publicly a certain religion as being false, thus allowing persons to see the difference between false religion and true religion.

Wheeeeew, okay saw it and I'm a bit mixed as well;
My opinion:
Hayden Christenson was great, these prequals are to follow Anakin's journey in to the darkside, becoming Darth Vader. Does he do it? SUPERBLY! I'd like to point out to the "first time viewers", when you watch the film the second time...THIS IS THE MOVIE Anakin becomes Darth Vader. Not in the suit, Not in the mask, not in NAME...but in "turning to the darkside"...ANAKIN IS EVVVVIIILLLL! Hayden's job in acting accomplishes this with his subtle arrogance in the beginning...right in to the middle of the flick where he makes that plunge (YOU'LL KNOW THE SCENE, and THE OTHER SCENE THAT CONFIRMS IT WITH HIS WORDS) in to the abyss.
Ewan McGregor...OH...MY...GOD! You can not, and will not, find anyone that can play Obi-Wan-Kenobi better then this man. . .other then Alec Guiness that is. Alec Guiness started the character, and Ewan inherits the "robes" to a "T". Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.
Natalie Portman....oh oh. WHOOOOPS! What happened? I felt her acting a bit "disjointed". I sometimes felt her struggeling with the portrail of her character. Something just felt missing. I enjoyed her in Phantom Menace, but something just didn't fall in place with her character in Attack of the Clones. At times she was "spot on", and then a few scenes later she seemed "lacking". I can't tell if this is her doing, or George didn't do a good job in guiding her thru some scenes...mostly the "romantic" ones. Her action sequences, and all acting done without Hayden Christenson worked...but when you put the two actors together...the chemistry was mixed. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
Sam Jackson I can't give a nonbiased opinion...he ownZ Mace, he lives Mace, he breaths Mace. Mace is badass. For second time viewers, if you feel a certain part in the movie was "short" with him batteling someone near the end in the arena...it's meant to be that way. The SOMEONE was giving Obi-Wan some ass kicking earlier in the film...the short part at the end in the Arena with Mace dealing with this person is meant to be "quick". Mace is a Jedi Master, second to Yoda...thus defeating this SOMEONE quickly...making this SomeOne Mace's biotch.
All other characters: R2-D2, C-3P0, Christopher Lee, Ian McDiarmind etc. and secondary characters....no probs, did their parts well and kept me in the suspension of disbelief. I'm content with it, and liked it.
Now to Yoda. See the movie. Just...see the movie. Stole the show, you'll be hoping George shows more in Episode III. What is in Episode II, is enough, but please George...MORE! MORE! MORE! Yoda kicks ass....I...We...EVERYONE....WANT MORE! To point out: When all is said and done near the end of the flick, take speacial note with what Yoda does with his cane. Absolutely BRILLANT! Like he really "needs" it...that clever little green kick ass machine.
Over all I admit, it's better than Phantom and Return of the Jedi...but I can't put it above Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars A New Hope. Word of advice to Mr. Lucas....I noticed YOU ASSITED THE EDIT of the film...uh, please hire an EDITOR next time..and let THEM do their job. Part of the disruption in the flow of the movie was due a few parts that were...ack...poorly edited. Don't get me wrong...ALL of the Action scenes were excellent, but uh, some of the inbetween stuff (romance, story progression)...ouch. Noticable to the "casual" eye OUCH that is.
I'm a fan. A BIG STAR WARS FAN. The story of the movie works for me, but I strongly suggest that for the "casual" movie goer, REWATCH the Original Trilogy and Phantom Menace. Perhaps pick up the Attack of the Clones novel to get a much more aquianted relationship with the story.
The Clones...yep, you are witnessing the "first" generation of the Stormtroopers of the original trilogy (Han, Leia, Luke story). In the Attack of the Clones, you see the "birth" of the Empire. And be careful who you cheer for, you may end up cheering for the bad guys and don't even know it....till you view the movie again. George Lucas accomplishes something in the art of storytelling with THIS movie. Look for it. The truth can serve those with evil intentions, and to weave it in to society en masse in such a underhanded way...!WOW!...George Lucas accomplishes something here.
So In my Rankings:
1) Empire Strikes Back
2) STAR WARS A NEW HOPE
3) Attack of the Clones
4) The Phantom Menace
5) Return of the Jedi

once upon a time there was an evil antagonist of god named ha satan.
this evildoer thought of many ways to make worldlings oppose god's covenant people.
he finally got a bright idea.
I LOVE the way this TOPIC started out...wooohooo! Creative Writing time:
Once Upon a Time . . .
There was a kingdom called Free World, and the citizens were called Free Minds. Within this kingdom, was a little hamlet of sepratists called Jehovah Trolls.
The Jehovah Trolls believed they were a speacial elect group. They believed that God selected them to be the righteous mouthpiece to speak to all the Free Minds.
One day, a troll named HildaBingen had heard from a sparrow that the Free Minds have proven that the sepratist Jehovah Trolls had it all wrong, and wanted to go wandering outside the hamlet. She knew that the Free Minds would recognize her as a Jehovah Troll. HildaBingen was a cunning and smart troll, and devised a plan.
"I know, I will use this magical "mystic" cloak as a disguise", thought HildaBingen, "And I shall change my name from time to time, in order to hide my true identity."
HildaBingen with the magic "mystic" cloak ventured forth in to the Free World.
When HildaBingen arrived, she was in such despair. For whenever she opened her mouth to speak, all that came out was, "blah..blah blah blah..blah blah." Free Minds all over were trying to comprehend what she was saying.
Upset and dispondent, HildaBingen kept trying to speak.
With a blah blah here
A blah blah there
Here a blah
There a blah
Everywhere a blah blah
But still, not one of the Free Minds could not understand what she was saying.
Untill, one day, a few Free Minds who were once a part of the Jehovah Troll kingdom reached back in to their memories and recollected the secret "blah blah" language. Upon remembering this old song and dance, they recognized key phrases and words HildaBingen was using. Upon this revalation, HildaBingen's true identity was uncovered.
Poor HildaBingen, she kept believing the "mystic" cloak disguise was still working. She tried and tried to communicate with the Free Minds, but to no avail, her "blah blah" fell upon deaf ears. So she decided to return to her hamlet of Jehovah Trolls.
Upon returning to the Hamlet, the "elder" tribesmen somehow were alerted to her wanderings in the Free World. That HildaBingen had been talking to those Free Minds that were kicked out of Jehovah Troll kingdom.
"Bad little HildaBingen", the elder tibesmen had told her. "You know better then to wander from the hamlet and hear those nasty lies.", they added.
And...so...eh...well...
This is getting boring! This is worse then a HildaBingen Topic Post...let me cut to the end.
So this guy named Luke Skywalker got the plans to the evil Jehovah Trolls and blew up their organization...ending it's tyranny once and for all. And poor HildaBingen, at the moment of the final disinigration of the Jehovah Trolls thought "Oh my god...the Free Minds were right".
And everyone lived happily ever after...er...except HildaBingen.

as most jws no longer have jesus as their mediator, how do they conclude their prayers?.
......and so, dear father, we approach you now in the name of the 144,000. amen?.
i only recently became aware of this change where jesus is mediator to just a select few.
50 years later, in the future, after several "new light" applications have passed:
