  ok before we get off on the wrong foot this is not a flame war.

  i read a comment by belbab on hillary's post this morning...he remarked that he had asked a question after the 09/11 attack, that no one answered.

  well, i didn't even remember reading it, so i did a simple search.

  Ashitaka,

  I understand and RESPECT your concern. I am an X-JW but now am a member of sgi-usa a Buddhist organization that places great importance on heart to heart dialogue in an effort to create world peace. Whether or not you believe me is not anything that I can do something about. You have to search your own heart whether my words are true or not. The important thing is for me is that I KNOW they are. Please feel free to browse the site www.sgi-usa.org. Perhaps this will give you a good understanding about who I am and what I am about.

  SGI-USA is a Buddhist organization that promotes world peace based on each individual's right to become happy. It is an organization that practices the chanting of NAM MYO-HO REN-GE KYO. To give a short translation it means "I DEVOTE myself to the UNIVERSAL LAW of CAUSE & EFFECT through SOUND OR VIBRATION. No, we DO NOT employ statues of the Buddha but rather a scroll which is a document that states that every individual has a RIGHT to be happy and NO ONE can take that from you.

  Are Muslims backed by the Christian God?

  i was reading in the book of a genesis today and came across an interesting set of scriptures, genesis 21:17-21. it talks about how after abraham sent hagar and ishmael from her house, hagar wandered about in the wilderness and finally, after running out of water, sat down with her baby ishmael and prepared to die.

  gods angel then appeared to hagar and told her to rise up, and that ishmael would be the father to a great nation.

  he then led her to water and hagar and ishmael and she lived a prosperous life in the wilderness of paran.

  Ashitaka,

  I am what you would call a "newbie" but I am going to request that you would at least judge me based on MY merits rather than basing your judgement based on a couple of "bad" apples. Thank you

  Great pics. Does that lamb look a little like Lambchop the hand puppet. Does Sheri Lewis ring a bell with any one. Oh I almost forgot! Anybody from the Buffalo/Niagra area here?

  I have just got through reading the above mentioned article and, quite frankly; I did not see an outright admission of being wrong. They came short of any admission.

  DATELINE: BLACK ART OF PROPAGANDA

  by You Know in

  1. social
  2. current

  hardly anyone has an honest opinion about anything of importance that wasnt craftily pre-packaged and handed to them by someone else whose job it is to craft public opinion.

  the intention of the media is to present the illusion of impartially informing, all the while pandering to prejudice and ignorance in order to persuade to a particular point of view.

  datelines presentation of the watchtowers child abuse issue was a case study in the black art of media propaganda.. from the very beginning of the presentation dateline was intent on giving the public a negative impression of jehovahs witnesses by portraying us all as oddball crackpots whose religion revolves around the doctrine that we dont celebrate birthdays and that all non-believers are possessed by the devil and that we want them all to die.

  To You Know:
  I wish to pose this question to you. If Jehovah is the creator of all things then is he subject to the universal law of cause and effect? Let's say if "he" does something negative would that logically require he receive a negative effect?
