In politics even a week is a long time. But if I were to make a prediction I would say that Obama will win. Unless something dramatic happens to change the political landscape, no current Republican frontrunner has what it takes to win.

If Iran was attacked, of course they would retaliate. It's so obvious that this is a non-news article. Would their reaction be 'bearable'? It's unlikely. Iran is not like Afghanistan or Iraq. Anyone who thinks so is deluded.

The tower of Babel- full of holes?
by highdose ini was thinking the other day about the tower of babel ( like you do) somthing that always puzzled me about reading the account in our modern day times is that we have today buildings that would have been vastly taller than the tower of babel.
even if purely because the materials needed to build modern sky scrapers have to be light in order to acheive that height.
accient heavy bricks just wouldn't have done it.. just why was god so threatened by a building???

I almost split my sides laughing at this. Thank you for that.
Sherlock Holmes was a real detective! Just look on a map of London and you can see Baker Street!
There really was a worldwide global flood because I have even seen a rainbow myself, so that proves the Bible account is real........

It was a dirty pressure tactic. I also believed that announcing names from the platform was unscriptural. They not only draw attention to the individuals but do it BEFORE they have even completed an hour. One of the reasons I became a regular pioneer was because I had instructed the elders not to read out my name each month and they complied until a CO ordered them to do it. By going regular I could break the CO's demand. In time I became convinced that even putting in a named report was unscriptural so I would do it without putting my name on it (since they claimed they only needed it for stats). As you can imagine that caused a stir too (if it is a sacrificial gift as they claim then the Bible instructs that it remain private, so private in fact the left hand is not supposed to know what the right hand is doing). That, and seeing how the CO's and other regular pioneers would mock the rest of the congregation in our private pioneer meetings, was all part of my realization the WT did not represent God at all.

THANK YOU Steven Unthank
by cedars inohiocowboy has just posted this information on the two other threads dealing with the sudden collapse of the unthank cases.. i don't know steven unthank, but i just want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for having the courage against overwhelming odds to try and bring the watch tower society to justice over their deplorable neglect when it comes to protecting children from abuse and molestation.. steven is a man of justice and integrity who i deeply admire.
his actions will never be forgotten, and i only hope he can find it within himself to continue his work in whatever avenue may become available in the future.. they have won this battle, but they can never win the war.. .

hehe, I must admit it felt good too. I prefer the posting guidlines were enforced, but for some reason they are not. I really do think Unthank did a good thing by getting the JWs to comply with the law there. I think he made mistakes too, same as sizemik stated, and I see no reason to back down from saying it.

Azazel Frak off. If you had bothered to read my posts you would see I said nothing at all out of place and even thanked Unthank for his efforts. I even put it in bold so you would notice it. Do I need to use a larger font as well?

This is a discussion forum in case you have forgotten. I understand it's easy to forget since there are ones who think they own the place and put down anyone who says something they don't like. I don't lack decency at all. I don't even like swearing, but I also refuse to be squashed by cyberbullies.
I thank Unthank for his efforts. I do not agree with his dubious publicity methods. I don't believe his explanation but he has apologized and that's good. I don't so much have strong feelings on the case as have strong feelings that this forum has too few mods.

Ceders this is a discussion forum. You don't get to decide what people can write. I have also painfuly discovered how you and some others are able to bully anyone that disagrees with you and swear to your heart's content and the mods take a back seat and ignore it.
Unthank did a good job getting the JWs to comply with the law.
I hope that is clear enough for some of the morons who bite every time I post. However, I also think the guy was dishonest in his methods of publicity, and he brought all the criticism on himself. I also hope that is clearly expressed too.
For those that don't like me to post at all on this subject, piss off. Apparently that is something allowed to be said here.
