the two severed heads were found by the philippines military on the remote southern island of jolo.
the army chief on jolo, brigadier general romeo tolentino, said that a note was attached to one of the heads, saying: "those who do not believe in allah will suffer the same fate.
Dung,
I disagree with your analysis of the legal merits of the libel/slander accusation, but I don't want to bore everyone with a debate on this issue. I'm just writing to let you know that I also like reading many of your posts as well, and enjoy your presence on this board.
Have a good one!

OUTLAW,
Thanks - if we agreed on everything, we'd be dubs! LOL
I also think you're a good person - you've certainly proven that in the past, and, for the record, I am also a "he."

Dung,
So, no nowhwere did Outlaw say they DESERVED beheading or death.....you are slandering OUTLAW and doing a really bad job of it too. If you have to LIE to make your point YOU are the one with the PROBLEM. - - Dungbeetle
While Outlaw did not explicitly state that the JWs who are the subject of this thread deserved beheading or death, he/she (no offense outlaw - just don't want to make a mistake about your gender) did so implicitly, as is evident in the quotes you provided (e.g., "You reap what you sow."). As for your claims that amac "slandered OUTLAW and [did] a really bad job of it too," you're wrong on that point. Assuming the statements of amac were indeed defamatory and legally actionable, it would be libel, not slander. You are right, however, that he "did a bad job of it too," since the statements he made did not amount to slander or libel.
OUTLAW:
I disagree with you as to your stance on this issue (although I think I understand where you're coming from), but overall, I think you're right most of the time and I enjoy reading your posts. Keep 'em coming!
amac:
I never finished with our abortion debate; it got kind of boring and I had to move on. No hard feelings?
i had a conversation with an active witness from the usa lately.
and when talking about child upbringing he stated that some children need a spank sometimes.
of course i was upset because of that, and i didn't thought witnesses was that stupid.
Larc,
Why do you wish to continue to discuss this issue with someone you consider to be a "prick?" Isn't there anyone elseo out there you could turn to to alleviate the guilt you're feeling for slapping your son in the face, notwithstanding your delusional rationalization that "a mild slap on the face is not violent behavior?"

Larc,
No, in other words, despite representing yourself as an academic, your actions continue to provide ample basis for doubting that you even completed high school. Apparently, you failed your remedial reading class, otherwise you would have seen in my previous posts that I very clearly and unequivocally answered your hypothetical. I may live in "la la land," but at least I learned to read.
"Children are born barbaric?" Is that the rationale you use to justify your violent behavior such as slapping your son in the face? I bet the multitudes of child abusers in this country utilize the same rationale to justify their conduct to themselves. Where is the scientific support for this outrageous assertion? You ought to quit and save some face, Larc; each time you type, your foolishness becomes more evident.

Folks,
Blaming the GB, the WTS, the US government, Avon, the decedents, other posters on JW.com, etc., for the horrific deaths that these two Witnesses experienced won't bring them back, won't bring peace to their families, and won't reflect positively on the apostate community. These folks were either trying to earn a living or trying to follow their faith or both. In my opinion, they were brave people who paid a severe price for their beliefs. The focus of the negative energy ought to be on the barbaric cowards that committed this terrorist act. I hope they suffer a fate that is exponentially more painful than the one they inflicted on those Jehovah's Witnesses.
Where is the condemnation of this cowardly, barbaric act from the Islamic world? It's time our government took a closer look at the Islamic institutions in this country who are encouraging and supporting terrorism.

Larc,
You're a weird guy. First, you refer to me as a "prick," then I retaliated for your your rude, unprovoked and inappropriate comment, and now you want to debate again? Too late, "professor," you had your turn at the podium, and you exhibited a lack of composure and made a fool out of yourself. In the interests of minimizing Simon's grief and any further embarrassment for you, I'm going to refrain from any further discussion with you on this thread.

I have no predictions, except one. I know that "Figo" will not be the MVP of the superbowl, because the "futbol" he plays is a sissy sport that has no right to be named in a manner that infringes on the rich heritage of American football.

It is indeed unfortunate that such events occur. I hope the perpetrators suffer a worse fate. My thoughts are with the families of these individuals who were doing what they thought was god's work.
