something i picked up and thought would sit nicely on here.

strangely, guess which organisation boast about their growth in these countries, you can imagine on the ministry, fat western pioneer 'can you imagine a life without hunger and suffering?

' joke!

Witnesses believe these hungry folks can eat to their fill in Paradise so "feed a man bread for a day and he will still be hungry tommorow...give him a bible study and he will live forever in Paradise."....even if he starves to death.

Isnt the media attention especially TV way over the top ? in covering the seige in sydney or is it all about ratings .Entertainment ?

by smiddy in

dont get me wrong , what took place was appalling and certainly needed to be covered by the media , whether by radio tv or newspaper articles by journalists.

this was one lone man holding seventeen hostages for about 17 hours , traumatic ,frightening to say the least for the victims who were put through this ordeal , and sadly their were fatalities of hostages .

my heart goes out to those who suffered and endured this seige and especially those who lost loved ones .. my concern is mainly with the tv coverage , newspapers you get usually only once a day , and in a case like this maybe twice.. here in victoria , we have 4 ?

I tjink people like me want to know whats happening there is not much big news in Australia except footy! I think the terrorist was denied the coverage he wanted and was not allowed to speak to the prime minister.....I remember Waco they allowed Koresh to go on TV and radio with his garbage which is not a good move.

my husband just won the city wide holiday light display for christmas i am so proud .

just a few short years ago i was the one that put a strand of white lights around the porch railing ,and a couple of lighted deer in the yard ....that brought the elders around real quick (after three years of silence ) at that time my husband was still holding onto the notion his faith was not bond to a cult .

it didn't take long after the 'loving sheparding call' for him to see things in another light.

I don't know why...but this is what has been happening in my ex-jw world...

by misguided in

so i took up volunterring for habitat for humanity in one of their restores about a year and a half/two years ago.

now as far as i've known growing up in the religion, this is a faith-based organization that jehovah's witnesses are not to support.

so i am wirded ou in some ways of what has happened during this time.. my first event was a previous elder from a congregation 3 hours away from where i live now, coming into the store.
