Gozz,
Yes I meant it: FOX News gives the most reliable and balanced information compared to all the media available in the USA. Mind you, MSNBC is not that bad either but doesn't come close to FOX. The rest is pitiful and biased against any Republican sympathizer, which is why many people are confused politically and have the tendancy to be anti-Bush.

it's sunday morning, shouldn't y'all be at the kh?
i can't believe that you all would rather be doing something else besides sitting at the kh enjoying the latest spiritual nourishment served up from the loving gb.......you must be a bunch of heathens!
heh, i am getting ready to go to work and then i am having my latest beau over for sunday dinner.
My daughter invited me over to the KH today as her husband (an elder) was going to give a talk from a new outline. I just said "thank you for inviting me", but did not attend. I love my daughter very much and just to go to the meeting because I love her does not make sense at all. In fact, by me going to a meeting at the KH would be a slap in the face and blashphemy to my Lord and Saviour. To sit and listen to the speaker at the KH (while everyone else would be ignoring me as I am df'd) with biased information coming from the Borg is a travesty in the highest degree. The Watchtower is so guilty of sinning against the Holy Spirit: they have changed, elaborated and put their own idolatrous spin in their NWT bible while adding their twisted rules and regulations, which is worse or at best similar to the mindset of the Pharisees. The Watchtower is controlled and guided by "another spirit" (NOT the Holy Spirit) as Satan and his hordes are certainly deceiving them royally over the many decades of false teaching by making them actually believe that what they have is the "truth". Instead I have been going to my church faithfully now for the last 12 months where I finally accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord in Nov 2003. My daughter doesn't know this yet, but I guess she will find out eventually. Her response would then be that my dad is now an apostate. Contrary to her belief, the opposite would be true: serving God the correct way makes one free at last, as the real truth will set you free (John 10:28, John 11:25).

Most people think that drinking diet Coke or any Diet drink will make them lose weight. The exact opposite is the truth: in fact most if not all diet drinks contain an artificial sweetener called "aspartame", which is deadly dangerous! Recent studies proved that by taking aspartame, you're actually GAINING weight and intake of aspartame is also linked to lupus, multiple sclerosis, is dangerous to diabetics and causes cancer or allergic reactions. Aspartame can be hazardous to the one in 20,000 people born with phenylketonuria, which is the inability to metabolize phenylalaine (aspartame's main component) High blood levels of phenylalaine can interfere with mental function, which is why all foods containing aspartame must be labelled. Another concern: when aspartame breaks down in the body, it releases methanol, a gas that negatively affects optic nerve function and interferes with blood supply to the retina, resulting in vision loss. Additionally, aspartame can cause dizziness, headaches, epileptic-like seizures, insomnia, vertigo, rashes and anxiety.
When you see aspartame anywhere on any foods, DO NOT buy it. If you have bought something with that substance, then just throw it out. Your health is more important than anything else!

Interesting information Englishman! I also know that drinking about 5 - 8 glasses of water a day can improve asthma by 50%. It is also important to drink water before and after meals, NOT during meals. Another benefit: skin-tone is improved and less wrinkles. The water I drink has to be purified by a filter and I make sure there is NO fluoride in the water! I alternate by drinking 20% distilled water and 80% regular and/or bottled water, but I always filter the water no matter if it's bottled or not.
When I wake up in the morning, the 1st thing I do is drink a large glass of water on an empty stomach. I always add a tiny bit of lemon juice in my water, so the electrolites will make it possible to allow the water to be absorbed faster into your body.

About the WMD: There are reliable reports that most if not all WMD may have been shipped to Syria - Saddam had enough time to hide these weapons to discredit Bush. In fact, intelligence made actual photographs showing columns of trucks which were headed towards the Syrian border just prior to the invasion by the US. Of course, it's impossible to prove that these trucks carried these dangerous weapons, but the question can be asked: why were these trucks headed toward Syria? The only way at the time to find out was to invade Syria as well, but that would have been too risky and the US had no mandate to invade Syria. Even if they go to Syria now, it is quite possible that these weapons may have been destroyed.
Look, if Libya had WMD (and Khaddafy confirmed this!), then why would it not be possible for Iraq to have had them. Iraq is a bigger country, more powerful and richer and....they had Saddam who was a terrible despot and when you compare Khaddafy to Saddam, then Khaddafy is a pussycat.

The only good thing about these suicide bombers is that in every case the suice bomber him or herself is dead. Come to think of it, have you ever heard of any Jewish suicide bomber? Untold times you hear of people unfairly bashing the Jewish people and have "sympathy" for the palestinians. Palestinians don't want peace (in their political manifesto they must obliterate Israel) and yet Israel has been trying to make peace with them but to no avail. No wonder they are building a wall around their country for their own protection from these hotheads. I still remember these Palestinians jeering and dancing in the streets on Sept 11, 2001 - you cannot trust them.

Right on double edge! You see the liberal press would not give this information to the public at large. They swerve around and mislead the people into believing that everything Bush does is all bad but do not go to the facts. You just gave an example of just a few instances where the liberals under Clinton were already preparing for the inevitable - but who gets the blame? Of course Bush....and so it goes with everything....
Richie :*)
I predict a landslide victory for Bush. He is one of the best Presidents the USA ever had. Of course nobody is perfect, but when you look at those liberal loonies, who have nothing better to do than nay-saying and bringing up non-relevant issues. The sad thing is that a lot of the biased press, newspapers like the Washington Post and news media organizations like CCN, NBC, ABC, CBS and MSNBC are all trampling on George W Bush, it's no wonder that people are confused what the real story is. At least when you watch Fox News, you get balanced and fair programming on political issues.
Just my thoughts.......otherwise have a splendid day!

is it my imagination, or do jehovah witnesses have an "everyone is against me" attitude??
our daughter-in-law (who is a jw) seems to have this mind-set.
whether its getting the car repaired, going to the doctor, work done on the house, etc., they all have "ripped her off".
Ian,
Read "Why do Jehovah's Witnesses have a High Mental Illness Level" by Jerry Bergman PhD. Interested reading....and by the way, Jerry Bergman was a JW before!

msn has posted the cover of the latest issue of newsweek, with a cover story on mel gibson's new movie based on jesus' crucifixion.
the provocative headline: who really killed jesus.. without getting into that debate, i'm going to go out on a limb and make a prediction:.
i have not read the article, but think it is a pretty safe bet that with all the religious experts they will quote in this article, there will not be one single reference to the wts or jw's.. just a couple of years ago, the same magazine (or was it time?
I haven't seen the movie yet but I surely will at a future date. I know that there is quite a controversy about the issue whether the "Jewish people" killed my saviour Jesus Christ. In fact, the opposite is the truth: Jewish people did not kill Jesus, but only the religious leaders, the Pharisees were responsible for killing Him. There may have been some scattered individuals who were standing behind the Pharisees in condoning the Pharisees' actions, but overall the Jewish race or people were NOT guilty for that crime. Just an observation, albeit important.
