Get it through your thick skulls, you Nimrods: The Justice System in the free world says that the minor child's Constitutional Right to LIFE trumps any adult's Freedom of Worship. Quit wasting your followers' Voluntary Donations™ on lawsuits that you bring forward that are intended to DENY CHILDREN THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
Well said.

laura schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show.
recently, she said that, as an observant orthodox jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.
Eh?

some people can spot a "gay" person by using their built-in "gaydar".. can you spot a witness easily?
what are the signs that this person must be a witness??
tell us about you "jwdar".....(prounounced jawaydar)..
So far I've never been wrong. Can spot their "righteous indignation" a mile away.

I remember so clearly as a young child going through a stack of my grandfather's collection of National Geographic magazines (I was really just looking for boob pics ). In one of them there was an advertisement I recognized instantly. It was a picture of a young woman sitting in front of a mirror putting on lipstick. I instantly went and flipped open my "your youth, getting the best out of it!" and flipped to the chapter, "blossoming into womanhood" (or some similar dubspeak like that), and there it was. It could have been traced. I've not since seen any online documentation, but it was an unmistakable RIPOFF.

i've been doing alot of introspection lately, and i've been wondering this about myself.. what has been your experience?.
do we carry our pain around for so long that it becomes a companion, a part of our self-identity?.
though we know it will benefit us to let it go, do we hold on to it, not wanting to lose an old friend, an integral part of ourselves?.
The weekend simply wouldn't be the weekend without the work week. Pain is necessary to polarize pleasure. Without one, there cannot be the other. I embrace both.

press release 5/10/07.
http://www.freeminds.org/history/16lawsuits.htm.
sixteen child sex abuse lawsuits against jehovahs witnesses are settled.
Please let MAD stay on the board. I like my idiots where I can see them. He reminds me of my mother when she initially heard about the abuse scandal: "oh, the apostates are going to have a field day with this!" She had not one shred of sympathy for the victims. She was concerned that the almighty Org's name wasn't "blasphemed".

finally, someone in holland (where floods weigh heavily on the collective subconscious) has built a 1/5 scale model of noah's ark.
this proves that noah built the original ark.
if noah hadn't built the original ark, how could someone build a 1/5 scale model of it?
AMEN! Finally a logical analysis of why it is completely illogical to logically analyze an illogical argument! Praise be to Jehovah and Noah and Shem and Ham and Gilligan and the Skipper, the Millionaire and his wife... the movie star, and the rest! But why did they have to save the Mosquitos?

take the case of abraham being asked by god to sacrfice his son, or his commands to joshua in the take over of the promised land, what example is god setting as a role model, that christians are encouraged to follow as beloved children?
Oh, you hit a soft spot there.
"Love me or I'll punish you." One has only to read that nonsense to realise what a sick, warmongering, insecure God Yahweh is. Look at his progeny... those he chose to be judges and kings. Mass murderers guilty of genocide. Womanizers. Torturers of animals.
Guess he created them in his image...

I wasn't planning on it. I work reading meters for residential and business areas and see the Witlesses all the time but usually avoid them (I might whistle a kingdumb melody while walking by just to confuse them), and have never been accosted by them. Today two Witnesses street witnessing took me by surprise. One stopped me and pulled out a Watchower and went into the old schpiel, "have you ever wondered about (insert tragic world issue here...)?" I instantly told them I wasn't interested. I wasn't about to challenge them, just get on with my job, but she insisted, "well I know you are interested in this, and showed me the Awake! which had something to do with "the solution to health care problems!" or something generic like that. I figured if she couldn't respect my lack of interest, I could tell her what I thought.
I replied, "Actually, I'm not interested in a religion that has no moral qualms about 6 billion people dying from fire and sulphur and birds picking their fleshy parts (yeah, I had to throw that in ), at so-called Armaggedon simply because they don't completely believe ever-changing Society dogma." At this point she was nodding her head agreeing with me, the way they teach you at the Service Meeting to show you are paying attention to the householder's answer before you go into your premeditated response, but then I saw her expression change as she clued in and it gave me a wee bit of confidence (I was really nervous). I said, "I'm also not interested in a religion whose claim to divine inspiration is based on the erroneous belief that 607 B.C.E. was the date of Babylon's destruction, thus making the 1914 prophecy and your whole belief system fall like a house of cards. Thanks so much though, have a great day, and better luck with the next person." I gave them a big smile, a long pause ensued, and they left looking at eachother furrow-browed and confused.
I'm sure I spoke too fast, as I've rehearsed what I would say a million times if someone persisted. I was also nervous as hell. I'm kicking myself because I didn't go into the UN thing, the pedophile cover-ups etc, etc... but I was kind of proud that I actually was able to summon the courage to speak my mind. They aren't so great the giants they used to be.
