suspect in alaskan school stabbings ignores judge.

anchorage, alaska, may 8 (reuters) - a man arrested for allegedly slashing the throats of four anchorage children outside their school refused to answer a judge's questions at a court hearing on tuesday, then urged onlookers to kill themselves and their children.

jason pritchard, 33, was arraigned in state superior court on four charges of attempted murder and four charges of first-degree assault.

I agree with Naeblis, u can't look at one man's incident to blame a whole cult, he is an individual and should be treated like one, it would be different if most or all witnesses were doing that sick act, but they're not, so......

I just can't believe that some people think that this world isn't supposed to be the one that we LIVE in, it's such a shame to see people waste it like that.

I can understand that it's human nature to expect more than u have, and that explains all theories of paradise or heaven or whatever... but I think they're just 'ideas', I don't believe there's any prook that these places really exist.

I think I'll live THIS life in THIS world and then see what happens when I die.....

If God exists and he thinks I'm not worthy of 'what he has in store for us all', then I'll never be accepted there, because I am who I am, and I'm not a bad person.

The bravest thing to do is to admit that THIS is our life and NO-ONE knows if there is anything after it!!!

Love to everyone

Preach the good news?????

by JW72 in

hi everyone, i was just wondering about 'preaching the good news'.. in order to preach the good news to the whole world, u should really abandon all unnessecary 'wordly' things, and just concentrate on doing the preaching, which is a very very big task and requires your full effort.. so, i was wondering, does that mean, if u wanna fulfil that scripture to the best of your capabilities, that u must give up those things, and soley concentrate on preaching???.

coz, no-one really does that.. or is it o.k to do a bit of preaching???.

i have no idea, i personally wouldn't preach unless i thought i knew the 'secret formula', that was really worth listening to, and wasn't just common sense.. also, is it not important to think about whether there is a god or not?

JW72

Yes, I agree with u Chris, infact, I think exactly the same as u, I feel like I've known u my whole life.

Anyone hear the carcasm in my voice??.........

Also, is it not important to think about whether there is a god or not?(as joelbear pointed out in his post)
I think that is one of the main points I argue with myself all the time, is it important??

It might be worthwhile to follow the JWs on the preach work and basically contradict everything they've just said to the person at home, u know, let 'em know what we know now, so they know before they screw their lives up!

Anyone else like the new 'daftpunk' album, I love it!!!

Kisses to everyone,

Moments That Make Your Skin Crawl.

i thought that it might be fun to have a "my most embarrassing moment" competition.

if the thread takes off, first, second and third places will receive a prize guaranteed to be of no monetary value whatsoever!

so, i've had to give a lot of thought to exactly what was my most embarrassing moment as a jw.. was it as a 12 year old child travelling on the london underground, whilst being forced to wear a label that shouted in lurid purple: "gods kingdom rules!

When I was at school, now and again we would have singing class which I enjoyed(I'm now a musician, so....)
Anyway, one lesson we were singing like normal, but one of the songs the teacher chose was a hymn, I, being an amazing witness, decided not to sing, the teacher saw that I wasn't singing, stopped the proceedings, made me go to the front, face the class, and sing it solo.
AAAAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Worst thing is, I hardly knew the words!!!!!!!!!

Can I win 1st prize, please?????????????????

can anyone enlighten me as to how the gb got in the position they are today??.

i'm not looking for a history lesson, but rather, what auditions did people have to under-go to prove they were 'annointed with the holy spirit' or whatever they call it.. why didn't more people leave with ray franz, he knew what he was talking about, i don't know why he hasn't nuked the remainders in brooklyn!!!!.

ahhhhhhh, wait there, yes, i do know......... he's a nice person!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Leave truth - catch AIDS???

we had a laugh last weekend at our s.a.dthe visiting speaker was from the london bethel (bcm)during the last talk he was trying to encourage the bros not to read non society lit.

the example he uses was of a m/s bro who used to really study his wtwell for a sunday, however he occasionally used secular sources to back up his research.. our bethel speaker in order to prove how wrong this was explained very quickly that because of this secular research, "this brother fell away and caught aids".

the brothers and sisters in the audience where very shocked at the folly of our ex-brother.

Does this help?

by openminded in

today our society raises us to believe that obedience is good and disobedience is bad.

we are taught that we should all do what were told and that the people that are disobedient are almost always bad people.

society tells us this, but it is not true.

JW72

Hi open, It's a good point u raise but I think that a person needs to be obedient for a certain amount of his life, ie. childhood, this teaches the kid right and wrong, as he otherwise would not know. It also teaches him/her that they will not always get there way, be it for good or bad reasons.
Also obedience to those who have earned the right to deserve obedience is fine, and to people who have learnt what works through research or personal experience is necessary in society. Obedience is only wrong when the person wanting obedience has wrong orders to obey.
