  this one's purty, especialy when sung by a choir:

  O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
  It is the night of the dear Saviors birth!
  Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
  Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
  A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
  For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

  Refrain

  Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
  O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
  O night, O holy night, O night divine!

  Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
  With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
  So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
  Here came the wise men from Orient land.
  The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
  In all our trials born to be our friend!

  Refrain

  Truly He taught us to love one another;
  His law is love and His Gospel is peace.
  Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
  And in His Name all oppression shall cease.
  Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
  Let all within us praise His holy Name!

  Refrain

  Love rests on no foundation.
  It is an endless ocean,
  with no beginning or end.
  Imagine,
  a suspended ocean,
  riding on a cushion of ancient secrets.
  All souls have drowned in it,
  and now dwell there.
  One drop of that ocean is hope,
  and the rest is fear.

  Why the fixation on the Nazis?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  is it just me but do the society have a fixation on the nazis and the relatively few witness martyrs?.

  i was skimming through the jan 15th 2003 watchtower, and came across a couple of photos of brothers who were in concentration camps that i must have seen a 100 times before.

  then, on the back there something about ones who died at the hands of the nazis in hungary.. now dont get me wrong, i know that what happen at the hands on the nazis was truly awful, and that many of those who died were people whose faith at least i can admire.

  persecution and milking, like irongland and randomtask said. my sister loved to say "oh, we had people die in concentration camps too", but she said it in a way that made it seem like she knew someone at the great "be-in" of '69, or something.

  an interesting column from the ayn rand institute concerning the recent world beauty contest in nigeria.. http://www.aynrand.org/medialink/columns/rt112702.shtml.

  one paragraph stood out:.

  "but the most revealing element of this islamic attack was a slogan chanted by rioters: "down with beauty.

  this is what happens when you have a bunch of ignorant, uneducated wackos running around.......

  How did this turn into a discussion of Ohio college football fans?

  LOL @ six!

  You are so wrong Incense!!

  you might want to do a little research, lucy. the rioting was all about perceived blasphemy, not beauty itself, as the institute author said in part of the article. i wasn't deffending fanatics or condoning pedophelia, just commenting on the article content, okeedokee?

  edited to add: a news article i referenced in my post didn't appear due to technical difficulties. but you can find it here:

  http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/africa/11/27/nigeria.fatwa/index.html

  it is titled:

  Nigeria Miss World strife goes on

  here's a snippet:

  KADUNA, Nigeria (CNN) --The threat of more sectarian strife hung over Nigeria after a northern state announced a fatwa decree urging Muslims to kill a reporter whose story on the Miss World pageant sparked deadly riots.

  More than 200 people died in violence in the northern city of Kaduma over the story Muslims said blasphemed against the Prophet Mohammed. The contest was subsequently moved to London.
