  Ex-Elders, what could I expect to do as Secretary?

  Make the position up in your own mind, and create BS stories about it here...

  if you live in the u s a or the united kingdom, this is how the wt society views your government, your nation :-.

  yes, as an ugly, evil terrifying beast !

  this is based on the book of revelation chapter 13 , quoted as follows in the revelation climax book.

  Don't forget that Franz thought the "king of the north" was the old USSR and that it would dominate the king of the south - the U.S. and allies.

  Wrong again, Freddy.

  I never learned to swim because, even though we lived nearly on the banks of a creek, fear of water was instilled in me from infancy.

  That was also true of actress Natalie Wood. It is ironic that she ended up being drowned.

  3 Things You Should Know About Islam

  One thing not touched on yet, as far as I know, is the issue of how different branches of Islam show no compunction over bombing each other in their mosques or on the road to religious pilgrimages.

  I still say - this is demonstrably the most intolerant and violent major religion on earth. They are as full of hate and disdain for non-Islamics as JWs are for non-JWs.

  But, where the JWs seem to be content to wait on their war-god Jehovah to destroy everybody; the Islamic radicals are more practical: Take up guns, bombs, or whatever kind of weapon you can find and do the killing yourselves. Even to the point of religious suicide rites.

  While there are peaceful and moderate Islamics, they are obviously not able to control and dominate the radicals - the opposite is in fact the case.

  Say NO to a mosque at Ground Zero!!

  MSNBC just reported a NYC panel just gave the ok to build the mosque.

  That was a historical board - they refused to give the old building historical status (like they did for many of the WTBTS buildings) which would have prevented the Muslims from tearing it down to build this mosque.

  It is not a done deal - they still face several challenges before it can be built.

  Did anybody detail the background of the leading cleric of this proposed mosque somewhere in this thread? He does not seem to me to be the "peaceful moderate" that supporters are trying to idealize.

  I will probably be accused of making race an issue - again - but it doesn't matter.

  No, we won't do that. It would be arrogant.

  Does this mean to say that these six kids that jumped in did not know how to swim?

  I assumed from reading the link that the people on the bank watching them were the ones who did not know how to swim, and that was why they could not jump in to save them.
