81Bowling for Columbine
by drwtsn32 ini just watched this documentary tonight and enjoyed it.
it's amazing to me the number of gun-related murders in the us... over 11,000 in one year.
i don't remember the exact figure, but canada, japan, and germany combined had less than 500 gun-related murders.

If you dont like the NRA than trash the NRA. Attacking an old man, who is slipping into senility because of an incurable disease is ignorant.

People forget that Heston stood up for equal rights before it was popular and was friends with MLK. Trashing an old man is a bit cheap.

Poor JW dies from heat stroke
by reubenfine ini woman in mesa, arizona whom i've known for over 30 years recently died in her mobile home.
83 years old and too poor to afford the added electricity of air conditioning on her $500/month social security check, she was found dead in her chair with a fan blowing on her.
the elders said they didn't know.

From my limited experience, old people because of frailty turn into low-hour publishers. In my hellhole like cong. low hour publishers were treated like subhuman trash. Stories like this disturb me greatly, nobody should die alone like that.

M. Moore might be entertaining but he is very inaccurate. Do a google search on his name, and check out some of the press he has. For example.
http://www.salon.com/politics/col/spinsanity/2002/03/26/moore/index_np.html
Obtw, Salon is not a right wing publication so no its not just the right wingers. Moore has lost a couple of court cases for being 'fast and loose' with the truth. And in 'bowling for columbine' he does some clever editing to make people appear to say things they did not; or he puts a persons words in a contextual frame that does not exist.
I am not going to argue about, M.Moore is like religion to some people but the information is out there if you want it, just google.

How JWs are remembering 9/11
by LDH injust thought you guys would get a kick out of this.
my employer (huge corporation) sent an email to everyone in the fresno office yesterday, letting us know that in the spirit of 09/11, we were permitted to dress casually *if* we wore red, white and blue.. true to style, the jdubs on my floor showed up in ...... purple polyester.
brown polyester.

Dan,
The difference is that when a 'suggestion' comes down from JW cheifs. It's a command. If you choose not to follow the 'suggestion' there will be repercussions. Their is no 'suggestion' in the JW world.
With the large corp, the memo was a true suggestion. If people choose not to follow I doubt there will be any repercussions, or if managment even cared. They just looked like dorks for a day, some JW's hate this but some live for the 'chance to seperate themselves'.
