  my mother has six children, all of whom she raised in the truth.

  over the years, all of us (with the exception of my older brother) have either left the org behind or got df'd and never bothered to return.

  today, out of the blue, my baby sister emailed me to say that she's back to attending all the meetings and even when out in service last saturday.

  Perry,

  Good job. Funny how the peace at any cost folks, have kind of disappeared. You even got 2da to change his tune.

  Your comments on the socialist dominated schools, the left wing 'feel good' crowd, lose all there 'righteous indignation' when confronted with THE FACTS. Yet they still try to find some way to denegrate and malign Bush and his adminstration.

  Do we come here to "convince" ourselves?

  ok...so the other day my husband(he is still an active witness) starts questioning me about why i come to x-jw sites.. he said the reason people come to these types of sites,is to convince themselves that they made the right decision to leave the"truth".i told him i come here to get support from others who feel they were tricked into believing something that wasn't true.he knows i feel my life has been taken away from me because i wasted so many years following their doctrines.i told him it helps me to know i am not alone in my feelings.he is still convinced that people are afraid they are wrong,and just come here to keep finding reasons to stay away from the "truth".he doesn't understand that we know what the real truth is.. i was just curious what everyone else thought about this.do you feel we are "convincing" ourselves that we made the right decision to leave?

  Tell him I was out for 20 yrs before ever I laid eye's on any ex-jw board. The only reason I maintain a presence here, is because my daughter's and entire relations are still in bondage to his type of thought process.

  Shari,

  Sorry to hear that you lost your Bama. Life is just to short, not to pay attention to your sound advice.

  Hope you don't beat yourself up to much about not having been able to see her. Regrets are truly a waste of energy, and they can make you sick.

  Bear hugs to you.

  2da,

  Hope you don't mind me shortening your nick, economy in finger movements ya know.

  I think you missed my point almost completely. My comment relating to loss of live's centered around the price many have paid for a cause/endeavor. Not just in cases of conflict.

  The quest for freedom from oppression has taken many forms. We all know and have our favorite historical figures representing these ideals.Governments come and go often predicated on the sacrifice of lives. In fact Iam hard pressed to identify any government now in exsistence that did not have as it's basis, someone who risked life and limb, for its inception or survival.

  You ignored my simple comparison of one's life spent working for an employer (self or otherwise) vs. your argument of sacrifices just one life for what YOU consider an unjust war.

  It really all comes down to perspective. If your world view is that corporations, stock holder's, the wealthy, are to blame for the majority of the worlds woes, it is easy to agree with your reasoning. But that assumption is a very dangerous 'cop out' for not taking desisive action. Oil being only one of the issues.

  Who has more compassion, the guy who try's to stop a mugger from killing the victim, or the guy who simply call's the police?

  All of the comments on this thread pro and con, seem to indicate that everyone view Sadam as a threat. But all you seem to want to do is call up the UN. A fairly hapless body of nation's overall who have niether the will or the resources to answer the 911 call. Not to mention they have as group never done much of anything to resolve a problem.

  For Simon and other USA critics, there is a reason why we get involved while other's remain silent. We tried to stay out of the fray in WWII, arn't you happy we changed our minds?

  back2,

  So because Sadam fired those oil wells ten years ago, he somehow has changed his thinking, he now has been enlightened, he now promises to be a good little dictator?

  Take the blinder's of wishfulness off. Look at the reality, instead of this oh so common trend amongst the 'anti-this' crowd, of taking a very complex issue down to an expression of simplistic generalization. Of course even 'one life' is important.

  Here's the challenge. You will be hard pressed to find any conflict, any worthwhile endeavor or government in exsistance that has not resulted in the loss of a life. Each of us are dying a little bit everyday, devoting our lives to our employer's well being. We humans expend our life, for little more than some meager (in most cases) material wealth. So unless your willing to trek back in the woods, live off the ground, build a self sustaining survival camp, each of us devotes our life to something. Jw's to probably the most unfulfilling causes ever known.

  The term 'bleeding heart' came about because of statements you just made. Try seeing through the clear glass of reality, instead of the rose colored glasses you wish to wear.

  What all of you taking this 'high road' regarding 'no war' stand, fail to see is, lives have been sacrificed for far less a practical cause than 'oil' (and Iam not acceding to that premise). The community of democratic/socialist nations have offered lives on the battlefields of history for nothing less than an 'ideal'.

  Not only are ideals involved with this madman Sadam, but real palpable measurable effects on the entire world. To uncatagorically dismiss Iraq's role in worldwide terror, is really being dishonest for the sake of peace. Of course everyone with any sense wants peace.

  Remember when you were in grade school, and that one particular bully would disrupt whatever activity the class was involved in? If in fact you were the target of his goading, remember the peace realized when you either stood up to him, or he/she was trotted off to the principles office?

  How many more years of goading, proding, fomenting of trouble, will you suggest we allow Sadam to continue?

  When is enough enough? Maybe YOU do not want to deal with it, but will your children or children's children pay a price to great, sometime in the future? If you can say affirmatively that they wont, then have it, believe what you may. BUT if you are wrong, who will be lamenting the dereliction of the duty you should have fulfilled?

  Buying a fuel efficient vehicle does not change the facts. Until the world wide community decides to stop using oil, we no matter what, will have to deal with it.

  Just keep your radio's tuned to Rush Limbaugh, it will make the democrats so mad, they will demand to have the signs taken down, out of sheer frustration.

  Lets see now. According to all you Bush haters, anyone with ties to big business should bow thier heads in shame, never take a stand on any issues that may result in profit for thier holdings, allow any crazy goofball dictator to ignite thousands of oil wells, manufacture/ stock pile huge casches of henious chemical weapons, encourage and pay off suicide bombers, build himself grand palaces with hidden bunkers, hide military targets in the midst of his civilians, all while shooting his carbine directly into the air, where any little child walking down the streets of Bagdad may be the unwitting receiptent of the errant slug.

  Yeah you guys really make alot of sense.

  Danny........ with no clue about combustion engines, but knows that oil is the common lubricant of the worlds entire monetary system.
