  er, no. But I won't apologize for holding people, especially warriors, to some standards.

  No apology expected or needed, warriors ARE held to certain standards, in fact, it is possible for a military person to be prosecuted and punished twice for the same offence, under Military and Civilian Law.

  My point is, people should be punished for over stepping the boundary's, I just dont see the point of spreading pictures (especially ones that have been proven to be fake, all over the world and giving terrorists the advantage of having the weapon of crying "abuse" at every turn, to use against our own people.

  Enemy propaganda should be left to the enemy to spread around.

  Certainly there should be investigations and punishments for the guilty, it would be quite easy for the media to take any pictures or proof to the govermnent concerned and push for justice, but no, they would rather go with the sensationalism and sell papers, get most of the world turned against their country's military and sit back and say that they cry "freedom of the press".

  With freedom comes responsibility, they should learn that.

  For better or worse, we are in this war, helping the enemy by giving them a possible platform for propaganda is traitorous.

  When a person always believes the worst of their own 'side' is also traitorous.

  Justice works both ways.

  What we need is some good old facist press to report the presidents claims of "imminent threats" all day every day and keep everyone afraid and pliable so they can do what they want.

  Not really, what we want is pressure on the governments concerned to do something about such reported abuses, while NOT giving terrorists aid and comfort by splashing things continually over the media.

  Weird how 6 or 7 nutjobs just happened to end up in one common place, doing a common job of whatever it is nutjobs do, at this one critical point in history.

  Its called war and people fight wars, I suppose in your ideal world, everyone is perfect, unfortunately, in the real world where the rest of us live, they are not.

  the terrorists must be over the moon

  They certainly must be, just think of it, almost the whole of the western media (and others) whipping up hatred against the Americans because of the actions of a few nutjobs.

  The terrorists must be laughing all the way to the training camps.

  if you do the "work", there comes a "time.".

  there is so much i could say, and feel yet the need to say "what can i say"?.

  it's so hard, and yet so simple, to "get on" with our exjw life.. damn that religion me all the more if i let them continue to influence my life.. it's over.. from now on, as far as my participation on jwd, it will be only and simply to cut the guts out of that pathetic sociopathological antisocial mind-controlling cult.. i hate what that religion has done to me, to my marriages, to my family, to my life.. i hate the wts, and i hate those that defend them.

  searcher , I didn't mean my characterization of your avatar as demeaning.

  I never for a moment thought you did.

  As a never was JW I can only try to transpose certain things I have had experience with and try to use them as a benchmark for understanding.

  For example,

  When I was 11 yrs old, I was in court with a cousin of mine, he had 20 cases of burglary, stealing from cars and shoplifting, against him, I had one case of receiving a stolen chocolate bar from him.

  I was fined, he was sent to correction school.

  However his mother blamed me and convinced 75% of my very large family that I had ?led him astray? they wanted nothing to do with me from that point on (still don?t).

  So I use that experience to try and understand shunning.

  Not perfect but it?s the nearest I can get.

  searcher: You chose your avatar wisely. You are "searching," for something that you can never understand.

  Probably.

  Could it be that some of the 'dissapearing ones' attended a fest, found they could interact socially with people and thought something like "hey, I CAN get along with people away from the JW's, so I dont need anything JW, pro or ex, in my life now"?

  Hatred takes up a part of you that can and should be put to better use.

  Take revenge by having a happy life.

  Apostates are very disappointing. I just found the WTS is true about them.

  by reason in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  your conduct, attitude, manner of speech, avatar, all of these shows what sort of hearts you people have.

  i can't feel the holy spirit operating in you people.

  the first time i exposed myself to apostates, i was imagining matured people, more matured than the jw's.

  Jesus partied, and you should too.

  I never thought about that Corvin, good point, and I remember the Pharasee's (gods channel at the time) condemned him for it too.

  Must be a connection hm?

  they're saying your world is illusion.

  I believe this is caused by where one focus's.

  Let me try and explain and use Craig as an example.

  Craig is a big guy and generally slow moving, so to focus on that I could think he is 'slow'

  However, to talk with him shows he is quick and deep thinking, which offers up two new possibilities, he is quick, or he is deep.

  So where I focus will determine my perception of Craig, but none of the points of focus will actually BE Craig, he is a combination of things that can only be seen with a broader view, so, to me, this proves that a narrow focus will give a false perception.

  Open this up into a view of life, death or anything else and it makes the 'real' easier to see, at least, it does to me.

  Posted with thanks to Craig for being an example to us all
