Everytime there is some sort of crises in the world the Witnesses read more into it than they should. I can remember when the Chinese joined the UN, it was read as a sign the end was very near. That was thirty some years ago. Sadly, people will die in this up coming war but I hardly think it will bring on the big A. Bug

After my earlier posts my wife and I drove about 30 miles to a favorite resturant and on the way an Amarillo station was asking people to call in and tell them rather they should or should not play the Dixie chicks in the future. I didn't count the callers, but only one person during that thirty mile drive said they should continue to be played. These girls are in trouble unless they can exercise some damage control.
Let's take some examples. If you are a merchant in Green Bay Wi. and you support the Dallas Cowboys, how long will you stay in business ? If you are merchant in a black neighborhood in Chicago and you openly support President Bush, how long will you stay in business ? In other words, if you are trying to sell to people, you had better watch your Queen Mary mouth. The chicks forgot that little rule.
In a dream world everyone would overlook this and continue to support the Chicks, but this is not a perfect world and they may have learned the hard way.. Bug

Very good Sheila, we are now in agreement.
Lucky Lucy, The main reason I walked away from the Borg was because of their rather stupid ideas on oral sex. What someone does in their bedroom is their own business, and that include Gays.
I am sorry the Presidents speech patterns don't live up to the lofty standards of some of you, but their is something you can do about that, vote against him. Bug

I'm not sure where you're coming from Sheila, unless you are calling me a dumb ass. Fair enough, you also have a right to your opinion. Just for the record, I have made it clear that everyone has a right to their opinion. Bug

Sheila, who is trying to take their freedom away. I am merely protesting, which is a right we all have. I fact, I spent four years in the military defending their right to their opinion. Bug

Uzzah,
I don't believe the chicks would have expressed that opinion in Texas or Tennessee or Alabama. They were evidently trying to placate their audience, which was anti American. Of course they have the right to trash their President or their country anywhere they wish, but I have rights also and I can express my opinions, but without their status, I can protest their ideas only one way, by not buying their music.
As far as K.D.Langs lesbian status is concerned, her main support in the U.S. was in the so called Bible Belt. The point being we all accepted that in her, including this loyal dub at the time. It was the meat thing that got my hackles up.
Joanna,
You are still my friend regardless of what your political beliefs are. Bug

So are some of you are essentially saying the JW's were right in boycotting the music of known gays and lesbians simply because the performers were gay? they disagree with the personal opinion or lifestyule of the artist so they boycott it.
Please don't put words in my mouth !!! I was a faithful witness during the time K.D. Lang was big and I bought her music. She went overboard when she tried to put some very honest and hard working cow men out of business.
The Dixie Chicks trashed an American President overseas, which, in my opinion should not have happened. I clearly stated they have a right to their opinion, but so do I. Are you saying I am compelled to buy their music? Make me.
Joanna, I don't give a flying flip what anyone listens to, as long as they don't try to force me to listen.

Several years ago K.D. Lang who was singing country music at the time, made a rather stupid statement about not eating meat. Ms. Lang was also a lesbian and nobody seemed upset about that and her career in country music was going great because, among other reasons, she had this incredible voice. Most of her support came from the part of the US that couldn't disagree more on her stance on eating meat, and her country music days came to a screeching halt.
Natalie Maines, the lead singer, is from Lubbock, Texas and, believe me, in that part of the world feeling runs high for George Bush. She has stated that she has the right to her opinion, and so she does, but some of the rest of us have the right not to buy any more of her music. It's too bad, the Chicks were my favorite group.

The Light
by crinklestein inyou know those anti smoking comercials the truth?
how they expose the inner workings of the tobacco companies, taking memos and comparing them to what is said to the public.... let's come up with a series of comercials that expose the wtbs and call it the light.
it could say things like, "for the last 115 years the wtbs has been saying that god's war of armageddon is coming soon and would happen before the genereation of 1914 passes away.

Sounds good, but I think you would have more success with the blood issue and the breaking apart of families. (Disfellowshipping) Bug
