  Aztec you really have done an excellent job of researching your data. You obviously put in some time into this and are very passionate about your beliefs, and thats excellent! However you made the same mistake I did some years ago and for the same reasons. If I were your professor grading your essay I would give you a very good mark, but you would still be a few points short of the highest grade possible.

  And why would that be? Because you have all kinds of good data but you started with a false premise. Your premise is that Bush/Cheney and the other assorted big-oil cohorts are pushing for war with Iraq for the purpose of financial gain. You in fact said:

  The facts show the Bush family and friends stand to profit greatly from war and the controlled flow of Iraqi oil.

  For this to be true, oil prices would have to rise considerably and remain there over considerable time as a result of the war. Are you aware what happened to oil prices during the last Iraq war? Are you aware how the Saudis were beside themselves with grief because the benchmark price of crud plummeted and hovered at approximately $10.00 per barrel?

  I would suggest that if any of you have oil futures, sell them now because if history is any indicator, when this dictator is removed from power, oil futures are going down.

  So in conclusion I will say to you what my professor said to me (Im paraphrasing as he said it much better): I loved your work, your effort and passion are obvious and Im giving you extra credit for that and you will need that extra credit too due to the fact that I will be deducting a few points because your data does not support your premise, you simply are wrong.

  wishing you well

  Did Most At The Kingdom Hall Ignore Or Talk To You

  by minimus in

  did you find that you tended to find yourself alone, without many people to talk to, or were you generally able to chit-chat with the "friends" at the hall?

  I was pretty much able to chit-chat with anyone in my old congregation up until I started to do some work for the government. Everybody liked me when I was a TV repairman, but then word got around that I was now doing government work. Oh boy.

  When people found out about that, then I got the distinct feeling they thought I had sold-out. I could tell. I think there also was a fair amount of jealousy too because the money I was making was many times what they were being paid, and they new it. For the record, I was doing some work for a non-military federal agency, but in their ignorance they paint all government jobs with a broad brush; they are all part of Satans empire.

  I have not talked to those people in years but I thank them so much as it was their lousy attitude and some ultimatums demanded upon me by the elders in that congregation that ultimately led to my awakening to the truth about the truth. I only wish I had not lost so many years and some of my family in the process.

  SwordOfJah,

  You call me a fool or wicked because I state facts.

  FACT: As of this date- More then five thousand JW sexual abuse victims spanning 3 continents have come forward .

  So how many victims within the ranks of the Catholic Church have come forward, a few hundred perhaps?

  My GOD Have you seen the DATELINE, and BBC PANORAMA programs?

  They are available on this site as streaming data.

  Watch them, and then tell me all about the virtues of your Watchtower!

  Wow YellowLab it sounds like your grandparents have something truly wonderful together.

  Normally I would suggest that you try and get your relatives up to speed on the JW pedophile scandal, which is significantly larger in scope and more insidious, then that of the Catholic Church.

  However, considering their age, perhaps it would be best to let sleeping dogs lay. What good would it do to inform them as it could perhaps do them some emotional harm, even destroy their world?

  Thank you for sharing such a heartwarming story.
