from watchtower media:.

moscowon may 22, the golovinsky district court ordered the russian government to pay for a philological-psycho/linguistic expert study to be conducted on the literature of jehovah's witnesses published in the past ten years.. the study will be carried out by the institute of the russian language of the russian academy of sciences, and one psycho-linguist, konstantin igoryevich alekseyev.

judge vera dubinskaya did not set a time limit for the study.. "this is nothing more than a determination to find experts who will support a ban on jehovah's witnesses," stated artur leontyev, defense attorney.

the victims are the children, of course.. in 1999 unicef (the united nations children's fund) conducted a survey in iraq to determine the effect of sanctions on iraq, imposed by the united nations.. what had sanctions done?the surveys reveal that in the south and center of iraq -- home to 85 per cent of the country's population -- under-5 mortality more than doubled from 56 deaths per 1000 live births (1984-1989) to 131 deaths per 1000 live births (1994-1999).

likewise infant mortality -- defined as the death of children in their first year -- increased from 47 per 1000 live births to 108 per 1000 live births within the same time frame.

the surveys indicate a maternal mortality ratio in the south and center of 294 deaths per 100,000 live births over the ten-year period 1989 to 1999. .

Saddam will be given 48 hours to get out

by freedom96 in

president bush will appear on tv tonight, and give saddam one last chance.

he can save his country from war, and also save his life, if he leaves iraq.. he will be given 48 hours, or suffer the consequences.

if he really cares for his family, his people, his life, he will leave.

Got My First Diesel. But...

i finally decided it was time to throw away my decrepit austin montego and get something for work that was a little less..well, tatty.. i need to carry ladders and tools and things.

however having had the experience of losing (stolen, actually) the tools from a van on 2 occasions, i know the value of having a car for work that has at least got a boot large enough to be able to hold my gear, without actually advertising the fact that, hey look, easy pickings!.

so, a car is what i needed.

Gred Stafford Not committed--too afraid of being DFd!

by cyberguy in

ive just completed the reading of greg staffords latest book, "the three dissertations on the teachings of jehovahs witnesses.

" although i appreciate his point-of-view overall, i find that his writing is often difficult to follow and at worst, not forthright on doctrinal issues.

basically, i find his writings rather anemic, hes just not forthright; he evidently doesnt want to be dfd!
