Keep the discussion going guys! Does anyone have the May 1 WT yet? I'm fascinated about it's contents. An another note, maybe this has been mentioned but anyway. Am I the only one that thinks the WTS doctrine and behavior closely parallels Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984? The WTS could easily rename themselves the Ministry of Love or Ministry of Truth and I don't think the r&f would even blink. These guys rewrite their own history on a daily basis. What really creeps me out is the newspeak rubbish. I can feel the WTS actually sucking words and freedom concepts out of the r&f mind by banning apostate literature. I wonder when the WTS will finally announce they've been at war with Oceania and have always been at war with Oceania.

<quote>KNOCKING reveals how a misunderstood and often derided Christian group, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, has impacted society in ways far greater and more surprising than a knock on the door.

Gun control logic
by Gregor inthe v tech shooter bought his guns legally.
gun control laws don't stop this kind of determined killer anywhere in the world.
the defenseless victims couldn't carry a gun legally on campus if they had one.

I'll be surprised if the Joe Hoover crowd doesn't work to use this incident to support the "beginning of the end" crap they spout. He didn't use full-automatic weapons. He could have done the same damage with several cheap 6 shot revolvers. If you believe in "natural rights" (pro-creation, speech, self-determination) which some do, then historically man has owned the right to arm himself since he first picked up a club. Why should owning a 2007 version of a club (semi-auto pistol) be denied to a person if they have a non-violent past? If you don't subscribe to natural rights in essence you're saying you're willing to let the government of the day decide for you what you are allowed to do or think. That hasn't worked very well in The USSR or China nor many South & Central American countries over the last century. As with everything else, be careful what you wish for as it may come true.

Where do you like to sit on a plane and why?
by Crumpet ini'm trying to decide where i want to sit on the plane to dallas - i can choose online 24 hours beforehand but am not sure where is best for comfort, quiet, service, view.
is there anyway of predicting where any babies might be so i can be as far away as possible from them?.

Would you rat out an Elder
by pratt1 inthis weekend i accompanied a few friends to a strip club in manhattan.
my wife doesn't like it too much, but since i promised her that a lap dance is asfar as i will go with a stripper, she tolorates it.. imagine my surprise when i noticed that an elder from my old congo was there along with several of his co-workers.. he tried to ignore me but before we left i stopped by his table and said hello.. he actually had the nerve to ask me if it was okay for us to speak.
i said since we were both in a strip club, it didn't matter.. my question - should i mention this to dubs i still maintain relationships with, who incidently worship the ground this elder walks on?.

Mention it to the other drones if you can. You're doing him a favor whether he knows it or not. And really, you saw him in a strip club? Fine example he's setting.
