  McVeigh vs Death Penalty

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  i am a policitcal conservative, at least a fiscal conservative and sociel moderate.

  i support the death penalty, but i agree that our judicial system needs to overhaul how wwe treat criminals to achieve better rehabilitation results.

  and of course, withhold the death penalty in cases where there could be doubt.. in mcveigh's case, i believe that he deserves the death penalty.

  that is one the reasons why i left. who can tell you what to watch on t.v.? gee, just think of the lucky stiffs who sit around and watch what ever they want so that they can determine what is good to watch and what is not.
  how bogus.

  hi all,
  it is a damn shame that this whole issue seems to be making the timmy creep into a maytr. i am 50/50 when it comes to the death penalty. if you are actually caught in the act then fine. however, what about the many people who are death row and are innocent?
  everyone seems to not realize how the entire govt should be put on death role. it has been kept out of history about the bombings that was done in oklahoma in 1921 of a complete town. this was done by the govt. why? because at the time the u.s. was and still is a racist country. a complete town of african-americans was bombed back then and we are not even taught about this in school. why were these innocent men, women and children slaughterd? and by the govt no less. we know why but we are ashamed to even discuss it. in 1921 this town in oklahoma was known as the "black wall street". society couldn't deal with an entire town run by african-americans. how were the ones who bombed this city dealt with? not at all. at that time it was justifiable to kill any black person who controlled his or her own fate finacially. heaven forbid an entire city. all one needs to do is look up "black wall street" and you will see. or buy the book. it is not as though this is the first time that something like this has occured
  so was it right for the govt to kill tim mcveigh? i wonder?

  hi all,
  i am 41 yrs old. my discovery of j.w.'s came at the tender age of 13. my best friend introduce me to the religion. what did i know at the time? all i knew is that i was searching for some sort of faith in my life since my parents decided to leave it totally up to me. thank god!!! i continued studying in and out as a teenager who was also dealing with being molested. i guess that i was searching for the help that my mom was not giving me. my best friend saw my unhappiness as a gate. i am not saying that she manipulated the situation but she did see that i was in need of help.
  i kept reading every piece of j.w. material that i could get my hands on but by the time i turned 18, i was just consumed with getting out from my abuser's clutches to dedicate myself. finally after more yrs of trying to find myself in any form, i decided to study seriously. by this time i was 22 yrs. old and i had a son. basically i joined the k.h. for my son. i wanted him to grow up in a united org. who cared about us.
  eventually, i met a brother who prentended to be in good standing. he was considered perfect marrying material. we dated for about 6 months and he taught me the fine art of foreplay and i mean this literally. he would tell not to let the elders know. he said that it was okay as long as we were getting married and since we weren't having real sex. i decided to fool myself into believing what he was saying. remember, i had come from being sexually abused as a teenager. so i thought that i could trust him as long as i had my body for him to play with. the elders never found out. i was baptized at 29 and my baptizmal present from my fiance was to go beyond foreplay. it was now time for the full exposure. i really didn't want to but i was kind of forced into it.
  anyway, the marriage was a wash. as soon as he married he changed. he got what he wanted. needless to say he was disfellowshipped because i discovered that he had been having sex with many women and he had even impregnated a few. i hauled his behind into a meeting with the elders. i also brought with me 2 of the women that he was sleeping with. my husband was thus disfellowshipped and i have still to be re-baptized, according to the elders. when i heard them call out my husband's name as the next person to be dfd i felt so ashamed and hurt.
  things started to crumble after that. i had stopped attending the meetings, blaming situations and making up reasons not to make it even before my husband was dfd. i couldn't take the control. i had to find an escape. i was tired of feeling like all my life had to revolve around what the society thought was best. then i stopped attending altogether. i had to find me. i needed to get in touch with myself.
  well, the good news is that i immediately divorced that idiot and i married an exceptional so-called "worldly" man. he is the best thing that has happened to me next to my son. i am enjoying what life has to offer without feeling guilty about what i say, do, eat, wear, watch, or how i have sex. what freedom.
  AMEN!!!!!!!

  How Much for Vol.7 of "Studies in the Scri...

  by Prisca in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  an amazing thing happened to me today.. i was in a neighbouring suburb, and wandered into a nondescript second-hand bookshop.

  i asked where the religious books were, and the elderly shop-keeper pointed to the single shelf, stacked full with books.. amongst them was a faded red book entitled, "studies in the scriptures series 7 - the finished mystery".. i could not believe my luck.

  here was a rare book, sitting innocently amongst books far younger than their companion.. i gingerly opened it up and browsed its contents.

  prisca,
  you go girl!!!! that is such a hard book to get. i have only heard about that book and i was told that it is not published anymore. a friend of mine claimed to have the book but she did not allow anyone to even touch it. she would show it to us from afar sitting in her bookcase.

  i've been reading up on beth sarim.

  once, when i was out in servive, a householder mentioned that rutherford had lived in a mansion.

  i thought it was a lie that some evil apostate made up.
