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?

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.

jon keller.

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.

William Penwell

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

by buffalosrfree in

jw
friends

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.

William Penwell

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.

here's an excerpt from a bbc.co.uk article i just read:.

"the holy koran recognises jesus as a prophet.

what the book says is an insult to both christians and muslims," maulana mansoor ali khan, general secretary of the all-india sunni jamiyat-ul-ulema, told the reuters news agency.

William Penwell

Yes I did see that South Park episode. When the devil was asked who had the correct answer he said, "Mormans People, that was the correct answer, Mormans".

Just seen the movie and I would give it 2 thumbs up. I agree with others on here that the critics are full of s*** or they are getting pressure from religious groups to give it bad reviews. Maybe not academy awards material but very well done. I guess I am going to hell now....

Da Vinci Code reviews

by aniron in

here are some reviews i came across about the dvc film.. "the greatest turkey ever told".

"an awful book ..... by great acheivement turned into an even worse film".

"after all the hype, controversy and theological arguments, ron howard's adaptation of dan brown's all-conquering novel is finally with us but unfortunately it's a bit of a damp squib.".

William Penwell

I will be seeing it. May not be this weekend but next. I can wait till all the hype dies down.

Da Vinci book 'shows ignorance'

by William Penwell in

.

seems like the catholic church does not want you to see the "da vinci code".

i mean if they don't want anyone to see the movie they would be better not to say anything.. http://edition.cnn.com/2006/showbiz/movies/05/15/cardinal.davinci.reut/index.html.

William Penwell

The more the Catholic Church protests the more I want to see it to.

What more can be said of an organization that has mainly been responsible for the bloody crusades, inquisitions, wars and pedophile priests? I think they should be more worried about cleaning their own reputation first.
