  US evangelist preacher admits battle with 'dark side'

  i think the saddest part of this whole situation is that rev.

  haggard is only going to perpetuate the hate and intolerance of homosexuality amongst the evangelicals he used to represent.

  one important quote from him:.

  That guy Haggart is a hypocritical piece of garabage and deserves everything he gets. I don't feel sorry for him at all. This is another reason why I have no use for religion. Will

  Let's just get something straight about 1975.

  nobody ever said that the end was coming in 1975.. all the hype about this date that has continued all the way down through today came from a talk in the early 70's by fred franz.

  in this talk, franz pointed out the significance of the 7 creative days and how they correspond with 1,000-year time intervals.. he then said, "could the end come in 1975?

  there's so much wrong with jehovah's witnesses from their rigid legalism to their faux love, but let's call a spade a spade about the 1975 thing..

  I was there and witnessed first hand that the hype was there. We were told that we would not grow up, go to collage and have a family in this system of things. Also there are a number of WT books and magazines that implied the 1975 date.

The rumor of him at one of his concerts asking all JW's to leave. I know a number of JW's to this day that still repeat this rumor as gospel truth. Sounds like another JW story that is full of crap.

  Lebanon and Israel

  wow you guys really made me think with the response to my faith topic, i was just arguing with a friend today over israel and invading lebabon and he quoted all the bible scriptures to me trying to show me that, israel were the chosen people of god and how god allowed them to go in and slaughter the canninties (first recorded insident of genocide) including killing small children, and i asked is that what christ jesus died for so god could order the slaughter of babies for the jews?

  so you are saying that not only is god a racist, but not a god of love as well?

  if god created all of us from the dust why would he love one race more than another?

  Its all a crok of s*** on both sides. Just because some stupid 5 thousand year old book says so. As far as I am concerned they could blow each other to kingdum come and we would all be better for it. Then maybe you would have peace. Will

  The problems over there in Lebanon and Israel is the reason why I have no use for religion. It is all BS whether it is the Bible/ Koran or any other holy book that people wish to follow.

  seems michael moore was using some of the same tricks the watchtower uses (taking quotes entirely out of context).

  interesting...makes you wonder what else was misrepresented in the film.. coffee injured vet sues michael moore for $85 million.

  No big deal, everyone does it. I am not saying its right but news media's take people out of context and misrepresent the facts everyday. Also Bush and company have been known to stretch the truth from time to time themselves.

  Extra training ... so you know that shooting babies is WRONG ?!?

  by Simon in

  how dumb and pathetic.. no extra training should be necessary for even slightly trained and disciplined soldiers.

  i guess it is for some of the rabble that the us call "troops" though.. of course the real problem is not just those on the ground that have committed the latest attrocity.

  it is the chain of command that tried to cover it up and all the way up to the president who sanctions bombing of civilian targets with nothing more than rumour for "intelligence".. from now on america, you are on your own.

  The whole thing is a contradiction in terms. First we train these young men and women to be killing machines. When things go wrong, they act the only way they know how to, with violence.

  new build

  heard that the congregation has been informed of a prospective new build that they hopefully will be completed by 2007 memorial.

  well guess what the congregations have been invited to pay for it themselves, they want a double kingdumb hall with two apartments, guee i wonder who will get to live there?

  because of building in foreign countries, the local congregations have been asked to pay for it themselves, then of course mother will take over the deed.

  Wouldn't matter if the R&F know that 'mother" holds the deed. Like all good sheep, they will all give their hard earned money towards a new kingdumb hall. Just sickens me to think that some of my hard earned money will still be going to that cult till the day I die but thats another story.
