Mormons vs. Jehovah's Witnesses

forgive me if this has been covered before but i haven't seen anything about it recently.. in exploring the two faiths, mormons vs. jehovah's witnesses, which were both founded in the 1800s with the mormons being slightly a slightly older religion it seems mormons is a more attractive religion than jehovah's witnesses.

do not get me wrong, i'm not looking at joining the mormon church.

but i still enjoy studying other faiths and different belief systems.

Should WOMEN Serve in Combat???
by JT in
1. jw

for anyone who knows me, i have always been a very strong support for women's right to do as they please in life, but today we had a very interesting discussion about this issue>.

this is to me one area where i wonder is it really the best thing to do, not so much because of how we in the west perhaps view women in positions and power, but how women are often times viewed by those that we maybe at war with.

culturally as men we have been conditioned to protect the woman- in fact in almost all cultures that i can think of that basic mindset is held by most men i would dare say-.

my heart goes out to every child who has a parent fighting in this war, be they american, british, aussie or iraqi- especially the ones too young to realize exactly where dad or mom is at.

they just know that everyone is so upset and the news is talking about and showing pictures of soldiers who were killed or were captured that are dressed just like dad or mom was the last time they saw them.

i can picture a little one toddling over to the tv touching the screen and saying, "daddy.

A Man Of His Word.

reuters news agency states that tony blair has, at last, obtained a marginal majority in the percentage of brits who are behind the war on iraq.

56% of uk citizens now support the war and the numbers are increasing steadily despite the number of british casualties.. at present, the brits in iraq total forty thousand, almost a third of the entire uk army.. it's a strange thing, but i saw this moment coming 18 months ago.

it wasn't on 9 / 11 when the nytc was bombed, but on the following day.
