What many Brits and others of the world community are trying to tell Blair/Bush is that they too want to take a stand against "terror and oppression", but is bombing the hell out of Iraq the only solution.

Two points....
1) It has well been documented that the current U.S. administration, along with others, already were formulating plans to invade Iraq BEFORE 9/11. Why?
2) While at a social gathering last month, a Viet-Nam vet told me that as he was preparing to leave Viet-Nam after his last tour in 1971, he was approached by a U.S. agent seeking soldiers for a covert operation to put down the insurrectionists that were fighting AGAINST the Pol-Pot regime in Cambodia. Why? He was a decorated, gung-ho Marine at that time. He hasn't trusted U.S. politicians since.

Xander,
Good post. With all this cumulative anxiety floating around, it's good to pause and think about the power of not only Ghandi's words, but his actions as well. It forces the mind to consider options that for most of us are so seemingly "strange". There is something about it that my soul agrees with, yet my mind says, "yeah, but what about this, or what if this should happen?" His words tend towards a magnificent solution. A simple solution. Simple but not easy for those of us weaned daily on the propaganda of fear.

I searched the faces of these men looking for what, to me, would be any indication that behind those eyes lies true reasoning. Alas, I have no such divining ability. What are they thinking, what are they planning?

I lost my sister today
by teejay inmy mother has six children, all of whom she raised in the truth.
over the years, all of us (with the exception of my older brother) have either left the org behind or got df'd and never bothered to return.
today, out of the blue, my baby sister emailed me to say that she's back to attending all the meetings and even when out in service last saturday.

Teejay,
Someone likened the relationship that some have with the WBTS to an abusive relationship. For what it's worth, statistics show that abuse victims return to their abusers an average of SEVEN times before they leave for good.

Dear Blue,
Congratulations on your new baby boy. Makes me think of my sweet little nephew. Loved to "chew" on that "chunky chicken",anyway..........Something struck me while reading your experience. I am Da'd, so am familiar with shunning. It bothered me at one time, but I now see many of them as victims. Your sister could be in a very fragile condition even though she might not show it. Seems she is getting a lot of flak for her stance on a number of fronts. Did you say that you "brought her" into the religion? She probably still loves you very much, but perhaps is recuperating from what she see's as another turn in your life. I try to give people some slack over the way they treat me based on my past conduct. I've changed and hopefully my new life will give them a basis for a different relationship with me. You probably know this already, but go easy as is possible on her.Just my two cents. May all your children be safe and healthy.

Laura,
Good topic. It's something most XJW's can relate too, regardless of age. I am not a teen (haven't been for decades) but just the other day I was thinking about what it was like to not have the freedom to plan for the future. We were told (in 1973), "just rent a shack, put some paint on it, and pioneer til 1975". No college, no property, no savings, no insurance, so many "no's". Some only gave lip-service to the WBTS rules of those daze, and did what they wanted to anyway. But for a great many of us, we are here now facing the future mostly unprepared because we weren't given the freedom to plan for the future.
