15Prince and Lindsay Lohan Partying?
by wozadummy injust finished reading an article in the morning newspaper about lindsay lohan cheking herself into the wonderland centre for drug and alchohol rehab.. it is sad to see such a beautiful young person getting to need such services with so much of her life ahead.. but the part of the report that made me sit up and think was this, i quote........ "ms lohan was in hospital on january 3 for appendicitis but was seen out partying a couple of hours after she was discharged.. since, she has been seen out almost every night and on monday she attended prince's post golden-globes bash at the beverley wilshire hotel.
a fellow party goer said she obviously was the worse for wear.".
well i'm spewing over this and here are my questions then....... if prince is a jw what the hell is he doing organising a large function without the elders approval?.

no. my story is a little different than most. they sort of did me a favor by knocking on my door. BUT, THE INTENT WAS THERE! that is what makes me angry. they would have been happy to enslave me and my wife ( who i helped escape) and any children we may produce. those old toothless bastards have really ruined some people. that is why i have a hard on for the a- holes. enough time has gone by since they introduced alot of their doctrine. the first leaders may have been sincere. but at this stage there are so many holes in their teachings that they have to KNOW that they are dead wrong. we can tell by their maneuvering that it is just ass covering time. if they really think they are being backed up by God they wouldnt flip flop on all the major doctrines. they would speak the "truth" boldly, and not make back door deals like the mexico/malawi fiasco or the different blood policies they have for certain countries. jeez! sorry for the rant. i guess you could say they have hurt me. they hurt my feelings. every time i see some poor dub child and know they have a lifetime of enslavement in front of them, it does hurt.

i doubt it, but who is to say? what if the GB. put it into peoples heads that "The fire and brimstone are symbolic for the malitov cocktails thrown by the truly faithful." ???? but i doubt it. the WT. is probably more dangerous to the pocket book and mental health of the rank and file.

Ukraine Sees Friction Between Jehova's Witnesses and Mainstream Christians January 03, 2007
By The Universe's Europe Correspondent Jonathan Luxmore: Ukraine's Catholic Church has demanded government action against Jehova's Witnesses after accusing them of insulting mainstream faiths in the country.
"We appeal to you to exercise state control in line with current legislation on freedom of conscience", Catholic and Orthodox leaders said in a joint open letter to officials in the western Lviv region.
"This letter in no way infringes the rights and freedoms of Jehova's Witnesses. But it is an attempt to defend rights given by God and the state, as well as the dignity of our parishioners".
The Church leaders were reacting to a mass brochure circulated by the Witnesses, titled "The End of False Religion is Nigh", graphically depicting a prostitute astride a many-headed beast. They said the image, symbolising the "world religious system", was offensive to Catholic and Orthodox Christians, and could also be viewed as "heating up religious animosity."
However, the brochure was defended by the Witnesses' Public Relations Department, which said it was based on "biblical descriptions from the Book of Revelations" and had not mentioned any "officially registered denominations".
"Every religion has a constitutional right to interpret the prophecies in its holy book and denominational literature according to its understanding", the Department said in a statement. "Our aim is to submit the issue of true and false worship existing in the limits of 'Christianity' to serious review".
Jehova's Witnesses, who rely exclusively on the Bible and reject later Christian doctrine, have 5.2 million adherents worldwide, and have been active since the 1890s in Ukraine, where they currently number 115,000 in 655 communities, according to government data. The movement, officially called the Watch Tower Society, suffered repression under Soviet rule, but was legally registered shortly before Ukraine's independence in 1991.
A Catholic bishop who signed the open letter, Mgr Marian Buczek, said he believed the Witnesses were "deluding people".
"They break up marriages and families, and finally break up society", Bishop Buczek, a Lviv auxiliary, told local newspapers.
"The state, like the Church, should warn people about this threat. We know this is a totalitarian sect, with a rigour worse than the army, which totally captivates its people".
Local newspapers said street clashes had occurred in the Lviv area when members of mainstream Churches tried to prevent Witnesses from distributing leaflets.
Meanwhile, a member of the Lviv Regional Council, Oleh Niemchynov, confirmed that he and other deputies had agreed at a late December meeting to ask Ukrainian parliamentarians to consider banning the movement.
Ukrainian churches have previously complained about small religious groups, who need only 10 members to gain legal registration in the country.
The Church in neighbouring Poland warned Catholics last October not to converse with Jehova's Witnesses, who have spread rapidly in Eastern Europe since the 1989-90 collapse of communist rule. -

Terry Irwin given death video
by zensim ini find it encouraging to see that justice was chosen in this case, rather than the normal red tape and/or rules.. .
terri given footage of irwin's deaththursday jan 4 00:14 aedtsteve irwin's wife terri has been given footage of her husband's death after queensland authorities broke with protocol to ensure it did not get into the wrong hands.. copies of the film, which shows irwin being stabbed in the heart by a stingray, have been destroyed, queensland state coroner michael barnes said.. he said footage was normally held in perpetuity but the destruction of the copies would prevent them being sold on the black market, news limited newspapers report.. the coronial investigation is almost complete and the footage was handed to terri irwin just before christmas, mr barnes said.. .
"when the final police investigation report is received the coroner will, in consultation with ms irwin, determine whether an inquest is necessary," mr barnes said.he said police had told him unscrupulous operators would be willing to pay up to $1 million for the footage.. under usual coronial investigation protocols, a film or audio evidence is handed back to the owners and a copy made for the state to be held in perpetuity.. "i'm not sure whether we will be doing that in this case because of the risk it poses," mr barnes said.. he said police had a responsibility to ensure the footage was not leaked.. the findings of the coronial investigation into irwin's death are expected to be made public within weeks.. .

Jehovah is like a dead beat dad
by MsMcDucket inthe kids don't know what he looks like or what he's like at all.
other men step in and run the family and you get treated like a stepchild or abused.
you want your real dad to come and get you; he's supposed to be so good; but he never comes.

yep, the jdubs always say he is so approachable and how one should get to know him by studying his word. this is like your real dad writing you a note at your birth and then never seeing you again for the rest of your life. come on.

The JW and the apostate -- who's faith is vulnerable?
by Fatfreek inin this fantasy reality series, you are in charge of a hotel with 100 rooms.
they are empty with certain exceptions mentioned below.
you are also in command, for one day, of 100 jw's and 100 jw apostates.

cool experiment!
i would say at the end of the day there would be no change on either side. but, given enough time (alone) with the thought of some of the crazy wt. doctrine he has seen for the first time, 20% of the jw's would flip.

The saddest scripture in the Bible
by avidbiblereader inwhether you believe in the bible of not, do you have a particular scripture that you feel is sad?
to me it is located at 1 samuel 8:7 .
7then jehovah said to samuel: listen to the voice of the people as respects all that they say to you; for it is not you whom they have rejected, but it is i whom they have rejected from being king over them.

the verse that really gives me sad feeling is the one that starts out, "In the beginning..." and basically the ones that follow.
seriously, "the day of one's death is better than the day of his birth." that one is a real downer.

joseph, that doesnt make any sense to me. he wasnt appointed dog catcher of the realm. he was put in charge of the goings on of the magic department. this should have pissed jehovah off at least as much as eating the defiled foods. i am going with i c behind the curtain on this one.
