by Sparkplug in

this is the man who today confessed that he imprisoned his daughter in an underground chamber for 24 years and fathered her seven children.

elisabeth fritzl, 42, was raped repeatedly since being lured into the dungeon built below the family home in a small austrian town.

police said she had been "broken" by the experience.

The guy should be locked in a windowless cell and repeatedly raped for 24 years.. Minimum.

...is a big blur.

he was obviously drunk for those 30 years.

i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.

She probably donates enough so that the WTBS lets her slip up from time to time.

Does Someone Have to be Religious to Be a Good Person?

by flipper in

this is something my wife and i were discussing the other day .

in a general view of religious people - most religious people feel it makes them holier, better, or on a higher moral plane claiming to worship god in an organized religion.

in the jehovah's witnesses view - the outside world is evil, and they claim that if you get away from their religion , and " fall away" a person is doomed to go astray, doing various sundry things like murder, adultery, stealing, orgies, because " they claim " that they have fallen " out of " god's favor.

Yes, you have to be religious to be Good. In, 1997 Federal Bureau of Prisons reported that 0.21% of inmates were atheist.

i'm an avid reader of steve wells' blog on religion and atheism.

this article discusses the hebrew god (we all know him as joe hoobie) and his propensity for burning people to death.

[p]1. "I found it interesting that even though christians ALWAYS claim a moral highground over atheists, mostly due to their stance on things like abortion, cheating".[/p] [p]2. "Atheist have a clear, definite answer: Yes, it is always wrong to burn people to death, no matter what the circumstances."[/p] [p]I'm unclear why you think all athiests think and feel the same way about these things.[/p] [p]1. Not all athiests are pro-choice, and I have no clue what you think athiests think about cheating. I think most people in general are not okay with it. You think athiests want to be cheated on or don't mind?[/p] [p]2. Same problem, not all athiests think definitively that burning a person to death is always wrong.[/p] [p]I am what I consider an open-minded agnostic, but basically an athiest. Although I tend not to believe in God, I feel that saying absolutely there is one or there isn't one is close-minded. My husband is an athiest and I can tell ya, neither of us is okay with cheating on one another; and I happen to think that there are crimes against humanity that would be deserving of death by fire (ex. ordering genocide or the attempting genocide).[/p]

Einstein on God....Rare Letter At Auction

by hillary_step in

jw
friends

this rare letter gives us a good insight into the 'religious' views of einstein, oft quoted by mainstream religionists in the hope that they could glean from him some allusion to his belief in a conventional 'god'.. why his views on god or even the rear end of marilyn monroe would be of much interest has always eluded me, but it is just as well that we all know that einstein did not believe in any god, at least not in the conventional sense, so that defenders of the bible and a god free of sociopathy are not tempted to haul his einsteined majesty before the court of debate again.. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/articlenews/story/ctvnews/20080513/einstein_letter_080513/20080513?hub=scitech.

Lewis Black: Red, White And Scr*wed

by chickpea in

from curtain up to curtain down he is masterful in relating his perceptions including politics and religion and the nature of living in the residue of both.

he rails against inanity of the original venue ( the john f kennedy center for the performing arts) disallowing the use of its name in publicity, as mr. black's use of the f-bomb is prodigious and not in keeping with the character of the facility... he delicately points out the acutal kennedy for whom it was named was prodigious in the activity the f-bomb pertains to!.

evicerates cheney just because he can..... hunting quail?

I only watched about 20 minutes of his special and found him INCREDIBLY boring.
