StephenW:
You assume that all of the threatened kids in this situation were praying. Do you not think it is possible that some were not?
You link this tragic but isolated incident to the issue of whether to have Judeo-Christian prayer in schools. Much as I respect the father you quoted in your first post, and feel for his suffering, to base decisions on his raw emotions at this time would be unwise, unbalanced and unobjective.
Surely it is not unreasonable to give students the right to decline to pray to the Christian (or other) God should they so choose. It seems to me that those who are vocal about "religious rights" invariably view others' non-practice as an infringement of their "religious rights". Sort of like "you don't wish to pray at school. I find that offensive. It violates my religious rights!"
If kid's wish to pray in school, let them do it. But to entrench it in law is merely the first step. The next step on the agenda of the religious right is to force others to conform, or suffer harmful consequences.
Another question: when those kids were being shot dead, were their prayers of any use?

Field Service, Anyone?
by Farkel inthe human brain is a non-stop chattering machine.
it is constantly evaluating, making decisions and judgments.
there is not a human being alive that isn't an abject hypocrite nearly every day.

Farkel:
That was great!
It's constantly amazing to me how similar our JW experiences and thoughts are. Underneath the zealous face, our minds were all thinking the same thing!
Now I'm thinking back to all the JW's I worked with in "service". How many of their minds were screaming the same things, I wonder?

Electromagnetic Pulse Weaponry
by You Know injust a friendly reminder, that on any given day, merely one large mega-ton nuclear device exploded high in the atmosphere over the united states, could fry virtually every "unhardened" electrical device in the entire nation.
numerous prophecies speak about the fall of the oddly yoked anglo-american dyad.
the only thing at this point that remains unclear is exactly when the downfall will occur and how it will come about.

To say where prayer belongs or not is like saying, dont breathe here...............
In your opinion.
you can wax as politically as you like, get all the evolution items you enjoy....at somepoint you will come to a divne being...............

if acknowleging this is wrong what can be right...............
In your opinion.
Perhaps it would be better if prayer was to be an individual, free and unhindered choice in schools. Those who do not wish to engage in any religious activity should not be forced to do so. Children should not have forced indoctrination into any particular religious viewpoint, whether through prayers in school or other enforced procedures.
Pupils in schools should have the right not to pray, as well.

Young, free, single and FRAZZLED!
by Sunchild incute parody titles aside..... i, rochelle, am finally moving out of my parents' house in a couple of weeks.
i've found a wonderful college senior with an apartment to share (and it's just a stone's throw from ann arbor, my favorite place in the world), and i'm in a bit of a tizzy figuring out what to do, what to pack, what to leave, what to sell, when to do what, all that fun stuff.. my question is, should i sell my jw books on e-bay?
would anybody buy them?

Sunchild:
There are alot of students over there do not know good moral standards.
Sounds like you're gonna have a great time!
the students are not going to tell you nothing about the facts of life.
But, if you're lucky, they may show you a few things about the facts of life!
Congrats. on your move!
Expatbrit, sinking into the moral depravity that results from separation from God's channel on Earth. How sad.
