this is probably the wrong area for this topic, but i have a question.
i have been watching just a bit of victoria jackson speaking at a couple of the tea party gatherings and also some of her tv appearances.
i have the feeling that she is engaging in a most profound form of irony.
Only morons like sean penn, bill maher and michael moore may speak out, don't you know?

this "news" is months late and i post it now simply because i don't want to let the moment slip by.
these are direct quotes from david pesch at the edmonton 2009 "keep on the watch" district convention.
they were startling enough for me to make notes verbatim.
People have been waiting for this destruction for centuries.
What's the big deal?

the reality is: jehovah's witnesses benefit no one but themselves!.
they don't contribute to society.
they refuse to get involved in local interests because that would constitute violating their neutrality.. if sexual abuse allegations are made amongst their members, unless two witnesses can attest to the molestation, they refuse to get the "superior authorities" involved.. they claim to be doing their neighbors a "life saving" work but the reality is that they simply are pests to their "householders".. they are a tax free "religion" and they do not pay taxes.. they are judgmental people and regard the "world" as "worldly" and in the "power of the wicked one".. and if the individual members do not conform to the organization's dictates, they might very well be "shunned" and regarded as "dead".. why anyone would want to be a jehovah's witness is beyond me..
So, your solution is..............................................

i'm painfully curious on this subject.. when you have devoted your entire life, your entire social circle, everything you know......to this religion....when you fade away, how did you make new friends?
how did you replace all those people you thought were your friends?.
on top of fading away....... i lost a 'relationship' with a 'sister' due to not wanting to continue as a jw.
I just dug them up.

it pains me to have to say what i do.. believe me, i would much rather just say kind things and never offend anyone.
it really hurts me to get people angry at me.
i certainly do not intend to make people angry.
Weeping, everyone has their point of view, and if not one person on earth agrees with it, WHO CARES?

a taxing time for churches and social groups by pete mcmartin, vancouver sunapril 14, 2010 should churches and religious organizations continue to receive automatic tax exemptions?.
should community groups?
a couple of years ago, the little town of gibsons began to ask those questions in earnest.
So they should just quit "thinking" about it and just take it away!
If $1,400 measly bucks means that much to them, then they should quit trying to justify it.

Say it ain't so..Judge. Its un-American not to like Baseball. What's next from you, you hate Apple Pie and Chevrolet as well?Look, I love football, like basketball, love apple pie, and as for Chevrolet, I haven't owned one since I was a teen.
Thank you for contributing to the thread, anyway. Most people would just ignore the thread if they felt that way.
