  I guess the politically correct answer would be: "Yes I hate it and think the world would be a better place without it"

  But personally as far as I'm concerned wrongful treatment of Christians it is a very low priority of mine when I look at very big picture of evils(or supposed evils)that my fellow humans worldwide are subject to. So honestly I would say unless it effected anyone close to me it would barely make a dent in my concern.

  Lets face it wrongful treatment of people happens all the time, and if one gets all depressed over it, it is not a good thing so you have to some way of limiting the negative impact. I myself choose not to be all that concerned what happens to people the farther away they are from where I live, because there is little in what I can do. so I guess it is simply a matter of recognizing my limitations and not biting off more than I can chew.

  I know this sound very callous, but I'm trying hard to be honest here and not swayed by supposed politically correctness as viewed by posters from all around the world.

  Let's not blow this whole human poo thing out of proportion SF is a very nice city to visit on think the poo report is an effort for the city solve the problem by perhaps a poo hot line to report poos so they can rush and pick it up, bottom line how much could this cost the city to fix.

  Lets not forget they have a homeless problem just like so many cities in the US and all over the world and blow this thing way over the edge of what ever.

  I live near SF and go there on a semi frequent basis but never seen doggy poo as that much of a problem. Never seen any human poo. I imagine it could be a problem with the homeless living on the street with things looking very bleak for them,, hey just take a shit on the sidewalk to show your dissatisfaction with your lot in life or what not.

  I personally wouldn't do it, but don't find anything wrong In what he did. So what if it feeds their persecution complex, some may get the message, that the KH shits as a place to raise your kids and start looking up info on these crooks in sheep clothing.

  Young ones are leaving in droves because they are looking up stuff on the internet. There is no one in the congregation for young people to do things with, many are left with no choice but to find worldly friends. This religion is on its deathbed.

  I enjoyed listening to him, we can all form our own opinions about these psychic events, culture seems to play very large part on what a person's NDE experiences. Excepting death and leaving everything behind seems to be the most important lesson these experiences tell him.

  Who Really Was Satan?

  dont you think that satan was a pomo ?

  when you read in the genesis account : "at this the serpent said to the woman: 'you certainly will not die.

  5 for god knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like god, knowing good and bad.'".

  Sounds as good as any interpretation. I kind of like the Gnostic interpretation that basically Jehovah was a fuck up right from the beginning, and doesn't have a pure motive for forbidding knowledge namely to keep them under his control(which kinda fits the MO of the Governing Body and forbidding higher education).

  For a little baby talk knowledge about Satan, JW.org breaks it down for the very simple minded, notice the naive literal way they write their horseshit.

  Satan's role in the Old Testament seems to be that of a prosecution attorney, nothing more then that, not some type of archenemy of a totally self absorbed egocentric Jehovah. Not all Christian believed that,, there were 2 schools of thought the Gnostics had a much different idea.

  Actually it's later Christian writings that Identify Satan with the serpent in Eden. So as far as the story goes when originally written there was no unseen spirit using ventriloquism to talk to Eve that all came much latter. Gnostics OTOH have a whole different take on Adam and Eve and the Demiurge, who wanted to keep them ignorant the Serpent is the hero in this rendition.
