Francois,
I feel It was to show the world that everybody in US government is behind GWB, even though they have differences.
Hillary I feel had to make it is obvious all that it wasn't 100%
but maybe 80% on this matter only.
Smart move!
if i may... and may you all have peace.. at risk of chafing some... uh, 'positions' with regard to the current 'situation' facing this nation (u.s.) and a good part of the world, i have to ask:.
just now, i was watching the opening of president bush's address to congress.
as he entered the room, bush was given a grand standing ovation, whistling, cheers and great applause.

lets play a game!.
let make beleive that this post is headed by elders from you know congregation, and they have heard rumors about you know apostasy, but before they can get a committee together the need solid facts that you know is truly an apostate.. the poster can play either the part of elders who are investigating, or that of a loyal jws bringing facts to the elders attention about this matter.. i think this could be fun, or i maybe totally wrong and nobody wants to play this game.. we might even get enough facts together to form a committee and disfellowship him (in our game).
i'll defend your right to say it, but it doesn't mean i beleive it.
Enough of the Dingos.
I'm still looking for more fact to DF You Know, so lets get cracking.
has anyone read the book "hour of darkness" about the guy who 'exposed' the wt for putting subliminal satanic images in their artwork?
i got a few chapters into it and i just don't really think he has much of a case.

Uncle,
I looked at some stuff but was not impressed.
I think their a little bit exaggerated.

Shelby,
Thank you, you may wish me it in your heart, but save the verbal for special occasions.
i've seen the threads on the wts' involvement with cesnur, swaggert, and the un.
since then, i've done additional research on the internet, including accessing the un's webiste and searching for "watchtower" and "jehovah's witnesses.
" and i am concerned that many of the posts on this website grossly overexaggerate the degree of the wts's involvement and its purpose.. in my internet research, the only connection i have seen between the wts and cesnur or the un is in situations on the world scene threaten their right to religious freedom.
Troubled,
When you try to make an honest observation of facts and somebody brings them to, perhaps not in the way we would like you try not to let your emotions get in the way.
It's hard but you will get to where you want to go a lot faster.

Shelby,
luke 10:1-7
Look at the context:
10 After these things the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos in advance of him into every city and place to which he himself was going to come... 4 Do not carry a purse, nor a food pouch, nor sandals, and do not embrace anybody in greeting along the road. 5 Wherever YOU enter into a house say first, 'May this house have peace.' 6 And if a friend of peace is there, YOUR peace will rest upon him. But if there is not, it will turn back to YOU. 7 So stay in that house, eating and drinking the things they provide, for the worker is worthy of his wages. Do not be transferring from house to house.
This was a special occasion not like here on the internet.
If we aply it like you do, it would mean that the disciple would be saying "may you have peace" every time spoke after being quiet for a while.
NO WAY SISTER!
three little scriptures that i feel reflect the opposite of all that christians claim biblegod to be.
i merely asked a hard-core defender of the faith to justify these as actions of an all-loving, enlightened supreme being.
here they are along with the "explanations" of them (in a nutshell):.
I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO BE HONEST.
GOD IS TOO INTELIGENT TO SECOND GUESS.

Shelby,
About that PEACE thing-a-ma-giggy that you always use, I think you use it so much it's begining to be meaningless.
May you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace, may you have peace.
Matt. 5:37
37 Just let YOUR word Yes mean Yes, YOUR No, No; for what is in excess of these is from the wicked one.
If we always say:"may you have peace", and then we sass somebody it sounds very phrasaical.
It's not sincere it's just window dressing for our words.
So if you say something like that over and over you don't really mean it, it's just a formallity.
