  It says:

  The Roman Catholic Church in Italy has spoken out against what it says are "shameful and unfounded lies" in the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code.

  The archbishop told Il Giornale: "The book is everywhere. There is a very real risk that many people who read it will believe that the fables it contains are true."

  He said he wanted "to unmask the lies" so readers could see how "shameful and unfounded" the book was.

  Is this not like the pot calling the kettle black? This brought to you by the same organization that has brought you the inquisitions and pedophile priests...

  Just shows how justice is only for the rich. Mark my words, MJ will also be found innocent to.

  Cruel Joke by Circuit Overseer

  i was reading the thread about the prospect of the wts releasing some new light shite about a prophecy to fulfil the fact that they are not growing and it brought back a really horrid memory, unintentional i know but horrid nonetheless.. the co visited the congregation were i was from and after the obligatory song and prayer, it was announced that the co needed to speak to us urgently on a local needs issue.

  he came onto the platform his look was sombre and melancholy (nothing new there then).

  he said he had an announcement from the governing body and that their had been a law passed that day which banned jw's in the uk that the usa and other world governments had notified the wts that they were to follow suit shortly.

  I can't say for sure if I recall a similar account but the story you tell seems to ring a bell. Although I do know that DO's and CO's are famous for passing around JW urban myths as if they were gospel truths.

  Women and children as young as 11 held at Abu Ghraib

  by Simon in

  do you think it's acceptable for the us to imprison children as young as 11 years old ?!?!.

  does the behaviour of drunken us soldiers assaulting a 17 year old girl make them undisciplined yobs?.

  this comment is particularly disturbing imo and should result in prosecution.. in her interview, she said maj gen walter wodjakowski, then the second most senior army general in iraq, told her in the summer of 2003 not to release more prisoners, even if they were innocent.

  The ends justify the means!!! What conservatives don't understand is that we as a people are only as civilized as how we treat our enemies. We then have no right to complain when the other side does the same thing. The hypocrisy is that most of those that would agree with this policy are good Christians. Will

  I agree and I have said this dozens of times, if MJ is innocent he has shown poor judgment. He has left himself open for every money grubbing, get rich wacko out there by his poor judgment. A 44 year old man does not let 12 year old boys sleep in his bed without the parent?s supervision. Like you said, its time MJ got in the real world. Myself I don't think MJ is as naive and innocent as he portrays himself on the TV. The childlike act he puts on is just that an act, to make people think it is all an innocent game and he is hurting no one.

  I know MJ is innocent until proven guilty but if the evidence so far that is being brought out is true, he is far from being a good guy. I don't care how much "he has done more good for this world", he has ruined the lives of a number of young innocent boys.

  The people suing him however are greedy slime and indicative of the "sue" culture America has become. They are as guilty or more of anything Jacko may or may not have done. They should fry. Who LETS there kids go off with a wierdo (it was the plan all along). Their "dirt" is starting to come out and it ain't pretty. Jacko will probably slide... but both sides attorneys and the media will make a fortune!

  This is a court proceeding to find if Michael is guilty criminally and has nothing to do with him being sued. I agree, that the family is a bunch of greedy slime but any suing for financial gain will follow in a civil hearing. If MJ is found guilty criminally, they would have a better chance in winning a civil case, although they could still go ahead and sue MJ even if he is found innocent criminally. Same thing happened in the OJ Simpson case.

  Can a person have his baptism nuliified if he was too young when baptised?

  by William Penwell in

  i know this was discussed not that long ago on here but can a person have his baptism nullified if he was too young when baptized?

  the reason i ask is that i have a friend that said he was baptized at 14. i was mentioning that i read somewhere on this and told him i would get back to him.

  if so, how does one proceed with doing this and is there a sample letter he could use?

Any help would be much appreciated.
