Um, just because someone was acquited doesn't mean they're not guilty. It just means that 12 people were too stupid to recognize evidence when they saw it.

So it is not very American to have reasonable doubt anymore? I am just trying to put a hypothetical on this from our own perspectives. The people were stupid, not democratic? How do we really know, anyway? I would actually purport the other end of this, then, and ask you...

Just because someone is convicted, doesn't mean they're guilty, then right? It just means that 12 people were too stupid to recognize reasonable doubt in those cases?

Are we willing to be illuminated about this?

i saw an interview with naomi wolf on 'the colbert report' the other night.

yes, i know this program is entertainment but it still raises awareness of important issues.

naomi spoke about her new book - 'the end of america - a letter of warning to a young patriot'.. http://www.amazon.com/end-america-letter-warning-patriot/dp/1933392797.

one day in the future, oj simpson has a heart-attack and dies.

he immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him.

"i don't know what to do here," says the devil.

Just a quick question...

I still wonder why we treat the acquited as if they are actually guilty in this country? IN retrospect, shouldn't we view most convicts then, as if they are actually innocent?

Just a paradox to think of...

Oh well, back to selling computers...

Avoided the Meeting

by Lloyd Braun in

jw
friends

well, they wanted to talk about something, but i didn't have the time to meet with them, and luckily, one of the two who wanted to meet missed the meeting himself anyway, so the other said they would reschedule.

i told them that last night would have been the best possible time to meet for a while, since my workload is picking up and i will simply not have time on my hands, so whatever it is, it will have to wait a while.

i think i might just stop going to meetings for a while and stop answering my phone and door.

I think I might just stop going to meetings for a while and stop answering my phone and door. I can probably evade enough to become one who is just drifting off for a while. After that, if they want to DF me I will just let nature take it's course. I met a really nice woman recently, and it might develop into a wonderful worldly relationship that I am sure will get the ball rolling on my disfellowshiping.

She smokes and drinks and doesn't believe in anything other than postiive and negative people. She thinks the witnesses are all negative nellies as she called them.

Thank you all for your comments though, it helped with the way things went last night. I also was able to avoid a talk that I was supposed to give last night, which I was totally unprepared for.

Visit From The Elders

"well, are we stopped?

" (dark helmet) ... "we're stopped sir" (colonel sanders) - spaceballs 1987. the inevitible and imminent visit that i had hoped was going to be quite a bit further down the road from now has just occurred.

i am growing paranoid while at the same time welcoming this.

Maybe just my father. I don't think he would say anything though, since he too is on his way out. Unless of course he has been deceiving me all along. It's a strange time.

Thank you all for this information.

Ronin, I think I will take your advice as the best possible solution, and the others who suggested similar. I didn't even think of just ignoring their authority all together on that matter, and simply not meeting. We'll see how that goes. This cong is pretty prude in most matters. Most of the members are old fashioned and older.

I'll let everyone know what happens tomorrow night.

Thanks again everyone. You have been a great help, all of you.

Blessings,

Matt
