  my wife got me started watching this show last year.

  we've downloaded the previous seasons on netflix and have found it to be really well done.

  the story line, scenery,costumes,old cars and compelling characters have us hooked.

  quarterback tim tebow is scheduled to address the 11,000 member first baptist dallas congregation april 28th.

  first baptist dallas and its outspoken pastor robert jeffries in recent times have called islam and mormonism coming from the 'pits of hell' and you can't be 'saved being a jew', although he clarified that being a jew is not the same type of hereticalness as being a mormon.....huh?.

  pastor jeffries called the election of obama 'the rise of the anti-christ'.

  @Berengaria - Uhhh... that is English. You might want to put down the Bon Bons and turn down Maddow and start at page one of this thread. It will take a while because you will actually have to read and think. It should be a good change for you from throwing posters in a box and screaming RACIST, HOMOPHOBE, or waiting on your buddy Bizzybee and taking about male sexual organs.

  Huh??? Again, this is quite senseless.

  A lot of people on the left like weilding the poo-poo cannon right now, but they don't realize that if they got their way all it takes is another election and someone would be shutting them down if the other party wins.

  Ok, so not only is that a horrible excuse for a sentence, but what is a "poo poo cannon"?

  And this, what the hell is this supposed to mean?

  This is ridiculous and childish. Yall have to use more of your brains than this! Just remember every battle needs morons to jump in front of machine guns on the front lines and generals way back to give the orders. Where are you in the fight?

  @Stillthinking- you summed up my argument well. Yes, people have the right to be as ignorant, bigoted, and plain stupid as they want to be. A lot of people on the left like weilding the poo-poo cannon right now, but they don't realize that if they got their way all it takes is another election and someone would be shutting them down if the other party wins. For the record, I defended the left's right to speech during the previous age when the wind was blowing from the other direction and we were all holding hands, wrapped in the flag, singing God Bless America on the capital.

  This is ridiculous and childish. Yall have to use more of your brains than this! Just remember every battle needs morons to jump in front of machine guns on the front lines and generals way back to give the orders. Where are you in the fight?

  I haven't defened Tebow's speech first of all because it hasn't been given.

  Second, I don't defend Dr. Jefferies only his right to speech, religion, and assembly. The second he crosses the line, lock him up.

  Something really odd is going on with some of you. Do you really think you can control people's thoughts. Not everyone needs to be liked. Some people really do believe in the Bible, God, etc.. regardless of your thoughts about it. Do they not deserve respect?

  Once more, in English!

  I am also unaware of actual discrimination when it comes to jobs and such as well. But it is the opinion of some, even here, that such people should not hold those positions. Because of their faith. Not because of their abilities to perform their job.

  Not quite acurate. The ability to do their job without prejudice. That is the concern.

  Atheists are in the minority at the moment, and atheists who are prejudiced against people of faith are an even further minority. A minority does not often affect policies... not unless/until they are in a position of power or authority.

  But as has been stated in this thread, prejudices are built upon teachings that LEAD to bias and prejudice.

  LOL, Hey all you unbelievers! We are now the subject of a slippery slope!!

  I've Come To Realize That "Facts" Don't Mean Much If A Person Refuses To Accept Them

  ...and that applies to religion as well as politics.. if someone simply believes such and such is true, it doesn't really matter whether you "prove" it or not.

  people will believe what they want to believe..

  hi all.... so my mom phoned me up this morning and said she needed to talk to me about something.

  she asked me whether or not our (worldly) family thought that my husband and i were witnesses anymore.

  one, someone in my family said to her, "i didn't know you guys wear short dresses like that" - commenting on a slightly above the knee dress i had worn to a family event.

  There's a world full of wonderful kids (and adults) out there. To assume that the JW's are better than others is just a trap. Wholly untrue.

  I can't relate to it at all, but I understand (to a point) where you are coming from.

  First of all, if you truly believe the "truth" is the truth, then you should go back. If you don't, then nothing else matters, it's real life.

  Second, I learned plenty of bad habits from the JW kids I knew. JW or anything else, it's about individuals and their families. I will tell you I never forgot reading a blurb from a Psychologist, who said she had never seen a more messed up bunch of individuals, than Jehovah's Witnesses. I have to agree. Also if you look at statistics, the retention rate is very low. In other words even if you go back, your son is unlikely to stay.

  I have said a thousand times, my happiest thought in life is that my children never knew ONE day as JW's.
