  When it comes to shooting reporters all I can say is better luck next time! For legal reasons it's always better to make it look like an accident.

  i went to my gp today.

  i go there quite often since he's also my parent's doctor and i bring them to all their appointments.. i take my dad there at least once a month for blood work since he is on blood thinners, so i'm very familiar with the lady who draws blood.. today i had to have blood drawn myself, and the lady inquired about my parents.

  she asked if they had had a nice christmas.

  Two topics are not discussed with people I treat, religion and politics. Having a health provider bring up religion in any context is un-professional and a violations of boundries. I agree with the above posters to report it and make it clear that you will go elswhere if it does not stop.

  After all I have had clients drop me because I am not a "believer". What's good for the goose..................

  How many of us left the JW's becuase of science vs. just smelling BS? You can argue all day about the scientists and thier credibilty. My doubts and questions about global warming started with just observing who was involved and seeing lies, contradictions and naked hypocrisy.

  The info in this link pretty much describes JW's in nutshell.

  http://www.rickross.com/warningsigns.html

  By Rick Ross, Expert Consultant and Intervention Specialist

  Ten warning signs of a potentially unsafe group/leader.

  1. Absolute authoritarianism without meaningful accountability.

  2. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry.

  3. No meaningful financial disclosure regarding budget, expenses such as an independently audited financial statement.

  4. Unreasonable fear about the outside world, such as impending catastrophe, evil conspiracies and persecutions.

  5. There is no legitimate reason to leave, former followers are always wrong in leaving, negative or even evil.

  6. Former members often relate the same stories of abuse and reflect a similar pattern of grievances.

  7. There are records, books, news articles, or television programs that document the abuses of the group/leader.

  8. Followers feel they can never be "good enough".

  9. The group/leader is always right.

  10. The group/leader is the exclusive means of knowing "truth" or receiving validation, no other process of discovery is really acceptable or credible.

  Al Gore just a couple weeks ago asked the news media to no longer run any disenting info or interviews regarding global warming. Science is all about peer review and questioning research. By doing that he removed any last trace of science and has made it a religion. Anyone that follows "climate overseer" Gore has just turned themselves over to cult leader plain and simple.

  Didn't we all just leave a cult that does not tolerate critical questions or disenting views? WAKE UP and pull your heads out of your asses!

  How many doomsday cults can a person get wrapped up in before they start smelling bullsh*&?
