  Well I can't ... And I'm not gonna ask you any invitation cause in knowing how you think and feel I guess that if a problem occurs in the bunker ... you will kill me to save your life ... if for instance you realise that's they're is not enough food (It means exactly the same) ...

  Wow, all that from trying to point out that America is not a dictatorship, so the pres isn't a dictator. Actually, I'm not even a conservative. And I speak French. You would be welcome in my bunker withou tfear of being eaten.

  Well, a dictator is someone who rules a dictatorship. Since the US is not a dictatorship, the US president is not a dictator.

  Mr Bush is not my boss. He doesn't even work for my department. My boss was hired by her boss, who was appointed by elected officials in my County. So a bomb was to go off in my work place, both my boss and I would be toast.

  But I can build a bunker in my back yard if I want so I can survive a blast to a degree.

  In every definition of a dictatorship, the idea of absolute power comes up. In no way possible does any american president hold power abosolutly. If a president can get impeached for getting a BJ from someone else, then he does not have abolute power. They do have vast amounts of power, more than anyone else in the US, BUT not absolute.

  Saddam did have absolute power in his country, so it was a dictatorship. The government getting set up in Iraq is not a dictatorship, so they are not trading one dictatorship for another.

  my views to my parents, results

  i shared with my parents your evil apostate views, and they called it propaganda, they didnt want me to look at it anymore.

  and then they said if they are true, this religion is the most pure anyway.

  i feel bad for my dad mostly, he was a soldier stationed in korea and met my mom there who begin to study and turned out to be a totaly different woman he met(she use to like to party drink, was pretty cool, after study she turned up tight and was always in his face).

  I'm another who will comment on this. If the JWs are lying about other beliefs, then why would you believe them on this statement. If it turns out they lie about 607 BCE just to accomodate with their dating methodology, then they will lie about other religions too. The WT loses all credability so an outside view must be taken.

  whats the best evidence youve found to make someone fall out of the truth?

  its kind of a hard decision for me to drop out right now because i was raised in it.

  plus i have some friends at my congregation that i grew up with.

  Labeling a religion you believe the "Truth" and then asking someone to disprove the truth, is like asking someone to disprove gravity. Well, slightly different because gravity can be proven...but anyway. The person first has to realize that what they believe might not be what is true, otherway you'll believe any excuse to disprove any info that contradicts what you believe.

  For example, if someone says "Geologists don't say that since 1914, there has been a dramatic increase in earthquakes occuring" instead of answering "Lies, all lies", you might actually look into it for yourself.

  After that mindset, your eyes will be opened up to all the lies and half-truths the WT produces. At first it might look like little things, but when the whole religion has a foundation built on lies, how reliable is that religion?

  Well for starters, the US is not a dictatorship. From what I remember, for 1/3 of the governing force, we hold an election every 4 years. For another 1/3, members are appointed for life. And for the final 1/3, elections are held every 2 years. Because 1 person holds executive power does not mean they are a dictatorship. They are an elected offical.

  i know, i know this is kind of a morbid subject but the subject actually came up between my husband and i the other night.

  we have two completely different backgrounds and we have discovered that we want diff.

  things to be done to us when we die.

  Well, my death means the end of me, so I don't really care what is done to my body after I'm dead. I could be chopped into 1000 pieces, becaue I'll be dead on wouldn't care. BUT that would really horrify my living relatives, so.......Whatever my family wants to do with my corpse is up to them. I'd like to donate whatever organs that I can (my dad donated eyes to someone when He died, I always admired that), but after that I'd leave my remains to my survivors

  ok time to be brutally honest.. what do guys think of women with tattoo's.

  first thing that jumps into your head.. reason i ask is i'm getting my first one next week and was wondering what the general concensus is.. i am definately sure about doing it.

  thought about it for years and it took me 6 months to find the design i wanted.

  I don't like tattood names or tattoos on breastes either. They can look nice or bad, depending on who it is and where it is. My ex-roommate had a big tattoo of a rose on her inner thigh (saw it swimming) and it was kinda nasty...But some are just plain nice...Always fun to go looking for them
