Have you ever known a holocaust denier? How did you feel about them?
by Esse quam videri ini sometimes did work for a lovely old couple who at times needed repairs done around their home.
my wife and myself spent time with them, having tea and crackers from time to time.
one day the husband and myself got into a conversation and he clearly showed himself to be a holocaust denier.

David_Jay - Jews can't say we deny the Shoah (which is another clue about what you are, as we Jews find the word Holocaust--a reference to heathen sacrifice--as inappropriate, so we have our own word for it).
Out of curiosity, do you know why the Shoah is called the "Holocaust" by non-Jews? It's interesting to see that an event which killed millions of Jews is called the same name as the Jewish sacrifice burned on an altar.
Alostpuppydogs - Jessie Owens had a great experience in Berlin and was greeted by the Führer himself and came back to be, in his own words, snubbed by the president and immediately subjected to racism at the first restaurant he ate at.
That is not exactly the case. While it is true that the Americans (especially the President, Franklin D. Roosevelt) refused to acknowledge Jesse Owens, the Germans did the same thing***. I mean... these were the 1930s. Both North America and Europe were racist. Hitler (your Fuhrer) definitely didn't greet Owens. Hitler, in fact, didn't congratulate anyone at the Olympics. He was told that, in order to appear neutral, he had to either congratulate everyone or no one—that is, he couldn't just congratulate the Aryans as he wanted to do. Hence, he chose not to congratulate anyone for (very) racist reasons.
*** Here is a quote from Jesse Owens himself: "I wasn't invited up to shake hands with Hitler—but I wasn't invited t othe White House to shake hands with the President, either." Source: Larry Schwartz, "Owens Pierced a Myth" (2005).

JW mention in Geography book
by Nihilistic Journey ini was reading a book exploring he relationship between geography and religion and found the following quote starting on page 121 of chris park's sacred worlds.. park, c. c. (1994).
sacred worlds: an introduction to geography and religion.
london: routledge.. one of the most dynamic religious groups in terms of disseminating its beliefs is the jehovah’s witnesses.

The pacifist group claims to have up to 200 million followers world-wide . . . and believes that a final battle (Armageddon) is imminent after which the Witnesses will rule the earth with Christ.
A bit misleading, if you ask me.
1) It's not a pacifist group.
2) They don't claim to have 200 million followers as far as I know. I think they claim to have... 20 million? Around 8 million are baptised, and the rest are "interested" (they attend the Memorial, etc.)
3) They don't exactly claim that they will rule the earth after Armageddon. I mean... it's partially true, but only partially. They claim the 144,000 will rule the earth along with Jesus and Jehovah, and the rest (millions of them) will live on the earth, as Witnesses also, under their rule. I think this difference is important to stress because someone who doesn't know this cult intimately would get the wrong idea after reading the sentence in this book.

Someone here wanted to see a Holocaust denier confront an actual survival. I found on YouTube an excerpt from a play Denial in which you can see just that. Now, it is just a fictional play based on the Holocaust, so this did not actually happen, but I thought that some people may still enjoy it:

Never knew anybody of that sort. But who knows? Maybe there was someone in my presence at some time who was a Holocaust denier but just never spoke about it?

Why Jehovah's Witnesses are WRONG about Christmas
by David_Jay inas you know (and are probably tired of hearing me repeat), i’m jewish.
yes, i was a jehovah’s witness when i was a teenager and into my 20s, but returned to my roots and now celebrate chanukah when the holiday season comes around each year.. so why am i writing about christmas?
well, that’s because i thought i would share something about how jehovah’s witnesses teach against christmas.

WTWizard - The only major article of celebration I do not recommend anyone do, regardless of religious belief, is drink driving.
But can I inject alcohol directly into my bloodstream?? Please, please, can I?? Can I???
