Screen Name vs Character
by Amazing insince my character is part of the issues that have been addressed by several posters, i thought that i would clear this up:.
teejay said: conclusion: no more insulting than you when you mentioned that one has to wonder about someone who'd pick the screen name "amazing.".
i am not sure if teejay shares agreement with what he quoted, but for discussion sake, i will treat it as though he does.

The Debate: Do JW's Need Respect?
by Mindchild inthis thread will hopefully serve as the platform for a friendly debate about the issue of how much respect the watchtower society deserves from ex-jehovah's witnesses.
do we blast the hell out of the borg and don't let a kind word in edgewise?
do we acknowledge that they have done some things right and (shudder) even good?

The court is now in session. (where's the balif)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we begin looking at the Witnesses, let's keep in mind that there are many organizations that do many good things for people but are still involved in scandals concerning how people are treated, how the money is handled and the ethics/motives of the leaders. Some that come to mind are, The Salvation Army, The United Way, Unicef, The Red Cross...etc. Do we withhold our respect from these organizations and ignore the good that they do because there is some corruption? That of course is a personal decision but most people respect these organizations for the good that they are attempting to do in spite of the controversy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------My objection is that the WTS is suggested as something comparable to a charitable organization as per association with the well-known and respected organizations named by the defense. This is misleading because the only objectives of the WTS are its own charity, not public works.
<B> Objection Sustained</B>I also object to the inference made by the Defense in his opening statement he made with these words:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They brought us all more personal freedom in the US because of their fights in the courts in the early and mid 1900's. They arguably teach good family values. At least when the children are preteen. It is arguable because each individual has a different idea about what they value in a family.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I think it fair to say that the JW’s did fight in court to secure freedom of speech but you should also remember that same freedom gave us massive amounts of pornography in this country as well. I also have to ask the Defense if protecting pedophiles is something that promotes family values? Is shunning something that promotes family values? I think the court should remind the Defense that these remarks are at best mixed in terms of being favorable to the Defense as we all know that the JW family values are simply programming by the WTS to create more Witnesses and expand their reign of terror.
Respectfully submitted to da Judge Venice.

Audrey Hepburn's beauty tips
by Will Power inhere is a wonderful poem, it was written by audrey hepburn, when she was requested to share her "beauty tips".
it was read at her funeral, years later, as follows:.
for attractive lips, speak words of kindness.. for lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.. for a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.. for beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it, once a. day.. for poise, walk with the knowledge that, you never walk alone.. people, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,.

Here are some good posts from H2O here's the link and my favorite quote from the post.
"In all honesty, could you envisage a situation were the spokesman for any other religious group said, well some of are Vicar's, Priest's, Ministers etc. "screwed up" - exactly!! Moreno's understanding of good PR, is on par with Bill Clinton's understanding of what constitutes a sexual act."

02/12/01 7:02 AMHOLY COW! Did you see "The Practice" on TV last night?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man, what a bang. The whole damned program was about Jehovah's Witnesses. The one lawyer, (can't remember names but she's black) is hurt in the explosion. When all the lawyers get to the hospital, the mother shows up and says, now get this "...and doctor, NO BLOOD".At that point, my JW wife's ears perked up. We were glued to the television. The other lawyers all go to court to try to force blood. Then it all starts coming out.
I am surprised that I am the first to post on this subject. I imagined that I would get up this morning to find the board littered with talk about it.
For those who don't know what THE PRACTICE is all about, it is a weekly, one-hour show about lawyers. It's very popular, and I know that when I go to work, it's gonna be hard to avoid the talk.
You see, I am a JW also, but of course I am different in that I am not brainwashed anymore. I am merely trapped and hoping for a way out.
If next weeks program (the show was To Be Continued) is what I hope is going to be, then the lady lawyer who was injured, (who's mother says she's a JW but she's really not because she's had an abortion etc)lives, then she will spill it all on national TV.
The head lawyer called the JW doctrine "VOO DOO"! I am hoping that this is going to really, really, really hurt the WTBTS.
I hope that she recovers and tells the whole world what a sham the Washtower Fable and Act Society is.
Oh, just one more point of irony. In an effort to prove that the unconscious and blood-needy woman lawyer is not really a JW, the head lawyer asks the mother (on the stand) if she was aware that her daughter had an abortion. The stunned mother says "NO..."
Now. The mother spends the entire show trying to convince the court that the daughter really is a JW, but if it's true, then as soon as the local elders would get a hold of the information that she had an abortion, they would disfellowship her anyway.
So. If she lives, blood or not, then she'll get the boot. What an irony that the mother can spend all this time convincing the court that her unconscious daughter is a devout JW, only to get her disfellowshipped because she's had an abortion!
I cannot, absoluetly cannot wait till next Sunday night.

Re: Silly Apostate Reasoning On Blood - Really.
by waiting inin reality, whoever you are, the game's getting old.
too many new posts in too short of a time.
hopefully, no one's as ignorant as you present yourself.. if you ever decide to actually contribute to a discussion instead of instant negativity or stupidity, count me in.. until then - the term "troll" seems aptly applied to "danielle.".
