Limbaugh's racism isn't linked to any minority he hires, its related to his rhetoric. He also has taken pot shots on Michael J Fox and his Parkinsons, so I know he is an equal opportunity dick.
BTW, before I invite conservative scorn, I realize that Limbaugh does not represent all of consevatives. It's just that right now, all conservatives are residing in the substantial shadow cast by his rather large @$$.
perhaps a hundred-thousand dead.
millions affected.. how many prayed in vain to stop the quaking, keep a loved one from dying, or for saftey?
all disregarded, all ignored.. he either doesn't care, is dead, or never was.
My wife and I were talking about this today. Haiti needs to develop a tourist industry like the Bahamas or Jamaica. Unfortunately, Baby Doc Duvalier (sp) ran that country into the ground, and they have never recovered.
Their only hope is tourism. There is no industry (esp now) and they need to change the worlds image so that Western currency can flow again.
ok, the new songbook has gotten rid of some pretty awful lyrics about molested bees and nazarites, etc.
but after listening to several of the songs played at the kingdumb hall, all the songs started ------ to-------sound--------like-------this.
one careful paused note per syllable as if the whole songbook was published to help teach children learn how to play piano.. we can't expect "amazing grace" from these hacks, i guess.
JW music and songs are shit.

I think rebel8 was being funny.
i know some of us are having fun reading and commenting on the watchtower facebook page and it got me wondering how many of us would have joined it when were in.. i know i would certainly not have.
i was never what you would call a spiritual witness.
i only stayed in as my friends were are witnesses and really went for the social aspect.
Oh no, there are a ton of guilty consciences there, hiding behind fake names. They know better. This might be a fertile way to help JW's on the internet and expose them to the truth about da troof.
i received this via a face book pm from the group christian witness fellowship:.
also near the end of the show, richard rawe says "something extra big" is about to happen that will take watchtower "down," something bigger even than their pedophile scandal and the u.n. connections scandal put together.
he says he can't spill the beans yet, but the something is definitely coming.
Maybe I'm cynical but I've heard this kind of sensationalism too often on the conference call.
Yup, me too. I hope it happens as they say. I can't imagine someone who actually knows what it is wouldn't share it.

Not me. I might have been the @$$hole elder who were skoping for names.
Conversley, if that ever came up as an elder, I would have tilted toward lieniency if ever a publisher got caught on facebook. I was tired of the witch hunt mentality that many elders have. As if they have nothing better to do.

Sounds good. I didn't perceive you as a bigot or I might have been more aggresive in my response. I appreciate your frankness.
I would ask you, please, to reconsider your stance on homosexuallity being a disorder. Whether you realize it or not, it is hurtful and not progressive.
Having said that, rebel8's thread is about the absurdity of the JW position, something we all agree on.
I am now going to masticate some food.

I perceive masturbation as normal and healthy. Problems only occur when this natural activity is given a taint thanks to various religions. (certainly JW's aren't the only ones who believe masturbation unhealthy)
Homosexuality is also something that I consider normal. Sexual attraction is not regulated by physiological factors alone. My main concern here is personal automomy. If two consenting same sex adults wish to have a sexual relationship with each other, then they should be allowed without having the stigma of having it be considered a disorder in any context.
I couldn't disagree more with JW's, and the larger Christian community in general regarding homosexuality.

I don't necessarily think you are a bigot. To say that gay sexual orientation is a disorder is a hurtful view. It hurts the larger gay and lesbian community. Just because it is different doesn't make it a disorder. The use of the word "physiological" disorder is to ignore the many kinds of sexual behavior that heterosexual couples engage in that could hardly be called "physiologically correct".
Those are your views, I just wanted to share mine. I personally would be careful about labelling any conduct a "disorder". There are many kinds of behavior that are mentally unstable, but being gay isn't one of them.
