so it has been quite a while since i've last been on this site.

the jist of my story is that about 5 years ago, i started a research journey that took me 2 1/2 years to complete.

against the advice of this board, i decided to show my wife because i mistakenly thought she valued truth.

American Sniper - courage or cowardice?

by Simon in

the movie american sniper is breaking box office records and of course there is some irony that a movie about a sniper is released on martin luther king day (who was shot by one).. but of course there is a world of difference between an assassin and a military sniper ... or is there?.

some are making a big stink about it and claiming that "snipers are cowards".

it seems unfair to me.

I think it's clear the book has some spurious stories, even libelous since Jesse Ventura win a court case over it which is hard to prove. From what I've read, the guy seems sociopathic. I am not a fan of glorifying killers at all so I have no interest in seeing this movie.

Lets pretend jw's disappeared

and joined your ranks.... this means...youre talking about a people, that currently are pushing no sex till marriage.

that would end and join into the messages you currently push regarding youths and sex.

that would be sex, with condoms.

haha! I know first hand they DON'T fight the issue in every suburb in America anymore. There's a neighborhood where the police will always come and tell JWs to take off because they have no soliciting laws there and Bethel told them just to hit and run a couple houses and leave. They didn't send their crack legal team down, those guys are too busy with child molestation lawsuits.

"Stupid atheists"? Really? If you want to follow a bunch of room temperature IQ power hungry women hating popes, be my guest. I think anyone such as yourself wallowing in willful ignorance is stupid.

From reddit, looks like KHs are going to start looking like Apple stores.

The new design will be a bit more commercial in nature – dryvit/stone/ flat roof with parapet / mechanicals on the roof Recognizable Images like JW.org Transparency – windows and a store front like entrance - that passersby will be able to see into Welcoming Atmosphere –this new design will draw people in Self Serve Literature display immediately in the lobby – this first thing you see – it will mimic what the public is used to seeing in our Metropolitan cart witnessing The whole idea is like “branding” – or “franchising” – and very recognizable building / logo / message repeated over and over across the country.
