  has anyone rated the news item at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21917798/ (star rating system: 1 - 5 stars) after reading it?

  currently, the story has only been rated "2.5 stars by 116 users.

  " the report will acquire greater longevity on the website if it manages to be ranked among the "most viewed," "top rated" or "most e-mailed" on the news site.

  I belong to a site where there are many JW's actively trying to defend their beliefs. So far the issue is being ignored by most. The link has been viewed some 45 times. The only reply I have gotten so far is

  "... this really doesn't prove anything. Do you think just because a religion has charges against them means they have everything wrong? If that was the case you might as well hangup religion all together, because no one religion is without its downfalls."

  UGH!

  Barbara Anderson is on NBC Nightly News Tonight 11/21/07

  by AndersonsInfo in

  a producer with nbc in new york called within the past hour to tell me that the segment i interviewed for (once in nashville, tn in august and once in washington, dc in october) is set to air tonight on nbc nightly news with brian williams, that is, if no huge calamity takes place to bump the feature.

  this piece will be two minutes and 45 seconds long, the longest slot nightly news has for topics of interest, and will feature a discussion about the court documents that are found on the cd i recently produced, "secrets of pedophilia in an american religion, jehovah's witnesses in crisis.

  in addition, nbc's internet site, msn, will follow with a detailed story.

  Thank you barbara!

  This was a great piece ... it was just too short! I hope there is some follow up on this. We all know how bad the short term memory is of JW's.

  I will be calling my family in the morning to ask if they watched the story tonight! I hope they did!

  Fear of athiests

  by changeling in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i seemed to have missed some of the excitement from last night.

  but i wanted to post my observations.. it seems to me that some have an irrational fear of athiests.

  it's as if they fear we are evil people that are out to destroy their faith.

  I agree with you 100% changeling.

  The problem is that there are those who like to 'stir the pot' so to speak ... on both sides I'm sure. I think sometimes a theist will see an athiest thread and look to post to see how they can shake things up. I think sometimes an athiest will see a theist thread and do the same. I personally don't have a problem with discussions but I feel it's all about intention, and when people start getting smug and sarcastic (on BOTH sides) is when I think people start to get upset.

  I have seen athiests get riled up on this board but I have seen just as many theists get riled up as well.

  if we are made in gods image, then we must have at least some of his reasoning ability, and we have many thoughts on why god would punish all mankind and their offspring for 1000s of years, torture and kill many, for the testing of adam and eve, god said it was good, then why do you have to test them, it was all good right?.

  i have great kids, but if i put candy in front of them, and i say dont eat this, they will eat that candy, maybe not tday, but it will come up missing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  and when it is mising, will i punish them , and all there kids for 6000 years, even torture my oldest son for there candy eating, seems like cruelty, god of love???????????

  oh ... and I don't believe that we were created in God's image ... as DJK said that would mean God is like us ... I think that to say that humans are 'in God's image' is an insult to God.

  We are nothing like God!

  I agree with you BIG D ...

  I don't believe in original sin and your sentiments about punnishing people for thousands of years for something two people did are my sentiments exactly! Especially when the bible contradicts that teaching when it says that we are all responsible for our own sins, not for those of our fathers or those of our sons!

  oh ..and we just MIGHT be number 34 ... but who's to say we are not better off than some of the others?
