  Very, very sad.

  I'm not a woman, so I can't comment with authority, but it seems to me that it is extremely unbeleivable that someone could confuse childbirth with a large bowel movement....

  I know that I would never confuse passing a kidney stone with a large bowel movement, and as a man that's the closest I'll ever get to understanding the issue!

  Most sad of course would be if the motivation for this infanticide was indeed religiously motivated.

  Good work, LDH! Wouldn't it be great if there were several -- no, make that dozens -- of "apostates" onboard, just coincidentally!

  Hhhhmmm.... the wife and I were talkig about a cruise... The simple comedic value alone would make this a trip worth taking:

  "Your a Witness? What a coincidence!!!!! I happen to run a website about Jehovah's Witnesses! Say, we have a lot to talk about... if you can stay sober long enough, brother!

  Genuine UFO's discovered: "RODS"

  i saw an advert for a programme about them a few nights ago but don't know when it's on (or if it's been on).. genuine ufo's: they fly and no one knows what the hell they are!.

  Good one, Michael3000!

  I don't think this is an intentional hoax. IMO the perpetrators are simply self-deluded -- but I don't doubt their sincerity.

  Simple methods have been suggested (a couple of years ago when I first heard about these "rods") which would very quickly determine if there was anything to investigate here that couldn't easily be explained by technical/video/optical/electronic explanation:

  - go "rod fishing with both a video camera (which is how these guys claim to capture these images) and simultaneously with an emulsion film camera (e.g. 16mm) and capture the same image. If a "rod" appears on both types of cameras, then there is something to investigate.

  - sound propogation: something flying by at these claimed high speeds would normally make quite a loud wizzing sound (like a bullet, for example). But sounds are never recorded.

  From the CSICOP web site ( http://www.csicop.org/si/2000-03/psychic-vibrations.html):

  But you've got to give credit to Jose Escamilla of Roswell, New Mexico, who seems to have worked out a whole new angle in the crowded field of paranormal claims. They're called "Roswell Rods," and they allegedly zip through the air, never seeming to stop or slow down. Supposedly first discovered at Roswell, the Rods have now been seen almost everywhere that anyone has bothered to look for them. Seldom seen visually, the best way to spot them is to take a video or movie camera and point it at the sky. Sooner or later some little dark spot will be seen to zip across at high angular velocity, and when it does you will have a Rod sighting. "Rods have never been slow," Escamilla explains. "These things travel at extremely high velocities and can barely be seen as they pass by. We have never seen a Rod hover or fly slowly as reports of cigar UFOs suggest. Most footage of Rods lasts from one to five frames in duration. What we consider to be the slowest Rods we have ever seen on video last a full ten frames before flying off screen. These ten frames equal one-third of a second." I attended his lecture and video presentation. Some of his "rods" were obviously insects zipping across the field at a high angular rate. Others appear to have "appendages" in stop-frame video, apparently birds' wings blurred in zipping across the frame. Escamilla is convinced he's onto something really big here. His Web site, www.roswellrods.com, claims to have had more than 7 million visitors in the past three years, and he says he's now aggressively pursuing movie and television deals.

  I never heard that one, but I do remember hearing about a "bomb" ingited at a Kingdom Hall (TM) during a Sunday mtg. That is why they no longer have windows on the buildings.

  Recently, my (shared DNA) brother told me that it was a moletov cocktail, and it was deliverd in the middle of the night.

  CoC was one of the first "critical" books I read (can't remember which came first, CoC or Apocalypse Delayed. Both of them are worth the read for any current or former JW, and also anyone who has friends/relatives of JWs.

  JR BROWN blames the elders, again.

  by LDH in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  so did any of you catch the dateline snippet with the letter being read?.

  jr brown stated, "it is possible out of the 77,799 elders in the usa that a few of them did not follow directions.".

  ain't that a shock, jr pinning on those damned untrained volunteers again?.

  Quotes

  Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the letter you refer to from "the Watchtower's General Counsel"???

  Not that it changes any of the above points, but this time it is not Brown who has his foot in his mouth, it is the lawyers giving a very predictable lawyer-ese response.

  Just one of the more obviously ridiculous examples of how they interpret the bible to fit them/their organization. Really no different from beleiving the Seven Trumpets of Revelation refer to seven conventions.

  Whoops, there is one major difference: they still believe the Seven Trumpets thing, but the Scranton PA thing seems to have been swept aside. New Light, I guess
