The reason I'm asking is that a long ago friend of mine is now living in SC & I have reason to suspect they are no longer JW. If this is true, I would love to see one this friend of mine (she was my best friend until 16 years ago). But I have no way of knowing for sure (my mom won't tell me ANYTHING!). So, if any of you used to live in Michigan - near Ann Arbor, let me know!

New Bible Drama for This Summer's DA's
by drahcir yarrum inthe setting could be a cheap motel named the un suites and a sister with bright red hair, large boobs and loose fitting red cocktail dress could be seen sneaking into a room carrying a glass of champagne in one hand with a cigarette (unlit of course) in the other.
she could have the letters wts marked on her forehead.. as she closes the door behind her, you can hear her laughing loudly and moaning the words, "you're the beast and i can't get enough!
you make me hot!"..

So the sister told her siblings she was using the library.
Their love was great, of this there is no doubt. Ten years of ecstasy, stimulation, entwined bodies, interwoven minds, kindred spirits. Their heat of passion can not be matched, even till this day
Until..............

For 10 years their love affair continued, each giving and taking as much pleasure from the others company as humanly possible. The sister kept her secret pleasures hidden from her other siblings, she knew that if they found out, they would want to join in.............

Bin Laden Innocent?
by dubla inthere have been several threads recently where individuals have spoken out against the united states for their actions against afghanistan.
there are some people on this forum who continue to express the belief that bin laden has not had a fair trial up to this point, and these same people have insinuated that perhaps the u.s. doesnt have enough proof against him and his network to take forceful military action.

Too true seeker, too true! Hopefully, our children will now know what it means to be a true hero!

Jdubla - I agree w/you as well, but w/1 small extension - all these countries are "in agreement" & support us today, but I have a feeling based on history that tommorrow, or whenever this particular situation (Afghanistan) is taken care of, the U.S. will be highly condemned for the exit policies. Regardless of how they do it, there is a no win situation raising its ugly head as we speak. The same countries you say support us today will be rallying their people to hate us even more after all is said & done in Afghanistan.

Was America King of South (if I remember rightly) & Russia King of North? I know we were brought up believing these 2 super powers were gonna go at it....now it appears they are getting "new light" to make it look like Islamic nations pulled together in light of recent events? Or, are the Witnesses trying to cover their own blatent lack of truth due to the following statistics, and trying to cover up why they are so disregarded in such vast portions of the world:Bangledesh: 1 JW in 1,308,732 people
India: 1 JW in 45,457 people
Libya: 1 JW in 416,070 people
Pakistan: 1 JW in 245,487 people
Mali: 1 JW in 56,931 people
Egypt: None
Suadi Arabia: None
Sudan: None
Syria: None
Iran: None
Iraq: None
Libya: None
Tajikistan: 1 JW in 22,209
Turkey: 1 JW in 42,660These are all Islamic/Arabic countries, and if you look at the JW statistics, these are also the countries that have the greatest difference in ratio between JW's/population.
My point here is that even though these are heavily governed countries, to God that wouldn't matter would it? He'll find his people everywhere according to JW's, and everyone will have heard of his true organization & given a chance to follow him - right? So, basically by their own statistics, the JW's have no problem clearly defining the majority of Arab communities/islamic cultures as non existent in the eyes of God. And more interestingly, how many of you had ever considered the Islam/Muslim religions before recent events? Could the theory be raised that Islam is the true religion, and that Western civilizations are finally being introduced to it in a large scale fashion?And where does this all fit in the prophecies regarding Kings of North/South & the disgusting thing?

Thanks Seeker - thought I was going to get REAMED for my last entry. I don't think our news media was very clear back in 1998 on what truly was at stake w/the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. And yes, I agree that all politicians involved were more interested in popular opionion than they were in taking care of national interests. Of course Americans want "no casualty wars", what sane thinking people wouldn't (unless you happen to think you'll get alotta virgins in the process! lol). The Iraq/Kuwait situation just lulled Americans into thinking that concept was a reality. Before that, it had been many a year since America was involved in "true" military situations, it has been easy for people such as myself, who were only children during Vietnam, and never realized the true ramifications of the "cold war", to be lulled into stupidity.
Actually, everyone who knows me calls me a "bleeding heart democratic liberal", so i wouldn't call it political hate. America elects our government officials to KNOW what's going on, and to protect & serve our country. America in the last 20 years has stripped the CIA & FBI down to bone skeleton crews, and no one paid any attention. Clinton's administration only took bare boned tactics in dealing w/this extremist group, and then completely dropped the ball in paying attention in the last 3 years that followed. Alot of the things being done now, if they had been started 3 years ago would have surely helped to prevent 9/11 IMHO. Because the U.S.S. Cole was so far away from the shores of America, and because the media plays easily into the hands of the politicians, most Americans were not aware what message was truly being sent.

Of course Bin Laden himself is innocent in only a small sense. It is very well known how he runs Al-Queda. He does not actually "do" anything. His soldiers are taught in the camps everything they need to know about terrorist type activities (how to make bombs, etc. etc. etc.) and after they are trained, he sends them out into the world to bring sacrifices to Allah. Period...he never actually even talks to many of these "sects" in different countries (kinda like the CEO of a large corporation - doesn't "directly" give orders to the line worker in one of the plants). They all work amongst themselves. I'm not saying he didn't "know" of the impending attack, my point is that he may have had little/nothing to do w/the actions or plans made. This is how these types of groups remain so dangerous. That doesn't leave him blameless, and I'm sure the wealth of intelligence information they do have points directly to many "members" of that organization. This leaves the blame squarely at the hands of Bin Ladin, who called "Jihad" a long time ago. And, as I said in previous posts, and was finally seen w/this last message from his lieutenant, when the U.S.S. Cole was attacked, it took Bin Ladin's organization 6 months to accept in a small token way the blame.
What interests me is how quickly now the Al-Queda is taking responsibility in their backhanded way. The U.S.S. Cole took 6 months, this time less than 1. Perhaps because the Clinton administration did not do MORE in 1998, they knew they could get away with something like they did 9/11/01?

that's so true michelle - & so sad. This does raise an ugly question, and should be highlighted in other forums for people to see the JW's true stance on "worldy" rescue efforts. How hypocritical can you get!!!!
