The Pope is dying, right; but portrying the Holy Father as all goodness and kindness without serious faults is just plain wrong, and untruthful. Yeah, that can well be done on the teevee, but here too?! C'mon, wake up, and smell the incense.

Is it ok to be critical of the pope yet?????????

censorship borg style.

somebody killed the pope's last poop thread just because someone else was offended when i mentioned that i think that he wasn't such a good guy.

if you think you might be offended by what's said in a thread then don't read it.

The pope, as of the time of this post, is still (officially) alive.

The memory of the Holy Father John Paul II must be haunted by the very curious handling of the alledged child-molester Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston, who fled jurisdiction is Boston and wa offered lavish assylum at the Holy See. A great man, sure, but how can anyone forget this singular issue?!

JW Tsunami Report - rest of quote worth reading

by Bonnie_Clyde in

jw
friends

you may remember i posted two days ago about a ten-page jw tsunami report that was e-mailed to me.

it consisted of about three separate letters.

since the report was so long, i tried to copy and paste some of the quotes from a word document and only got two out of seven.

It's at times like these that you see the dark, inhuman, unfeeling JW minds begin to open up through their spin on things, including their own kin. As humanity poured out in kindness to those who've been hurt and far aware, you see the selfish JW spirit in full form. Gal. 6:10, a scripture they so love to quote at times like these is missed on them. Mindless idiots.

More email.... you never get enough of dub ramblings....

George Benson/Celine Dion duet??

Apparently, someone's been sending a recording of Song 54 (grief: I don't really know this song!?) around. George Benson is in it; but JWs aren't supposed to be star-struck except it's about a member of the governing body.... soo, the repentant brother who's sent out the reording, had to warn the faithful of the "bootleg" track. Priceless! Now everyone knows it's George Benson. Lol.

Subject: Re: Kingdom Melody 54 by Celine Dion & George Benson Hi All, On a recent visit of our CO, he told me this song was stolen from Bethel,
this he learned from brother Benson himself. This recording is a work in progress
and he instructed us to not except this bootleg song and that we should delete it.
I am sure it is beautiful, but we should wait for the version mother releases.

Also it is not Celine Dion, it is a sister, both the sister and brother Benson had
wished to remain anonymous.

DOES JEHOVAH KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, AND DOES HE STEP WHEN HE NEEDS TO? 1. The bomb planted in the Kingdom Hall In Australia, where one brother was killed, was meant to kill everyone, and would have, but the bomb rolled backwards so the force or the blast was away from the friends, rather than aimed at them.

2. A new Hall was built in Brooklyn. However, a large tree was inconveniently located in the center of the parking lot, and a city ordinance forbade it's removal. That night, a storm blew it down, and it conveniently fell in the middle of the street. No harm came to the Hall. Because it blocked the street, the city of New York had to remove it, at no expense to the brothers.

3. In Florida , a Hall building was delayed, because the basement hadn't been back filled and the brothers had no means to do so. While the inspectors were at the site, a bulldozer showed up did the job, and drove off. He returned to tell his boss he'd finished the job at the Hall. The boss replied, "Hall!? I told you to go to the mall!" The job was done at no expense to the brothers.

4. The brothers were building a 2-day project, and were short of roof trusses. None could be obtained for 3 days. Nearby, a semi truck overturned, blocking traffic. What was it carrying? Trusses! The police wanted them removed. The brothers moved in and hauled them away. Although some were damaged, enough were gathered to finish the project, at no cost to the brothers.

5. A Hall project was planned on an island. However, no sand was available for the mortar. (Many of these islands are formed from coral.). The only sand was on property owned by the Catholic priest, and he wouldn't sell to the brothers. A storm came up and washed the sand from the priest's land to where it was available to the friends. The project was completed, and everyone was happy but the priest.

6. In , where the work is done underground, 3 elders were working on a country road. The sky was cloudy. Suddenly a bolt of lightning killed the middle brother. The other 2 hurriedly hid his body in the bushes, to go and remove literature, etc. from his home before the officials came. They take over any possessions they find and give them to whomever they feel can use them. Among his possessions were found a complete list of all the Witnesses from miles around. He was not a brother, but an imposter, planning to turn this list over to the police. As Bro. Lauriz says, if these hadn't come from , we'd never believe them.

7. In a country where the work is banned, a Brother was trying to get through a series of roadblocks, with the trunk of his car loaded with literature. He was stopped by a policeman who asked him if he would take him to a certain destination as his car was broke down. The Brother agreed, the policeman got in the car, took his policeman's hat off and put it on the dashboard of the car as they drove along. They passed through five roadblocks and each time they were waved to go on through because of the policeman being with him. When they reached the end, the policeman thanked him and got out. The Brother asked him what the roadblocks were for and he said, "Oh, those Jehovah's Witnesses try to get through with their literature and this is set up to stop them." So he had escorted the Brother right through with his literature, (Told by Bro. Spangenberg, C. 0.)

8. A Brother going door to door met a man who said very emphatically he was not interested. He said to the Bro. "Tell it to the dog!" So the Bro. did. He gave the whole Sermon, read the scriptures, and presented the WT subscription, when he got through, he looked up at the man and said, "Well, the dog says yes." The man said "If the dog says yes, then I'll take it." So he placed the subscription. This was told by Brother Carrie Barber. (Gov. Body)

They just announced the 2nd USA hostage has been executed

by Brummie in

they are taking the reports off aljezzera but say they need more evidence.. it appears the uk hostage has no chance and will be the 3rd, his family have just been on the tv condemning the prime minister for the iraq war and asking for his resignation.

but what can a prime minister do?

surrender to the sicko's commands?

Gozz

So the Americans have detained two scientists for devoloping stuff for WMD? How stupidly asinine; and they claim the hostage takers have no point? When the West comes to the realization that the policy of zero negotiation with hostage takers is as callous as their grandstanding on issues of "right" and "wrong", may be we'll have a chance of curbing terrorism. So the hostage takers have no point, eh? You detain two smart lady scientists without charge, for how long? All Iraqis are hostages on their own sovereign land; 3000 Americans killed on Sept 11, another 1000 or so dead in Bush's war, and how many Iraqis dead? 15000, 20000? - civilians, men, women, and children? Next time you hear that hostage takers, particularly in Iraq, have no point and shouldn't be listened to or 'negotiated' with, remember hypocricy.

No KHalls for Hurricane relief

by SadElder in

eldubs in florida (maybe elsewhere too) have been told that the kingdom halls should not be used for relief efforts or for shelters.

liability and insurance issues were stated as the reason.. will try and get a copy of this letter.. of course the kingdom halls are supposed to be the center of true worship and a place of comfort but i guess only in fair weather.

what a crock.

Gozz

Soo, where's the letter?
