Another JW Prophetic Orgasm about to Unfold !!!
by Amazing inhey folks, .
setting aside any political differences ... the french government is looking to ban religious symbols in public, like a sikh wearing a turbine (except the see-through netted kind), muslims wearing head coverings, jews wearing the star of david, and christians wearing charismatic crosses (little tiny hard to see crosses will still be okay).
give me a break ... i loved the french for taxing the book publishing corporation known as the watchtower society ... but, while i respect the french on many levels (and not on other levels) ... do they realize how they are feeding into the prophetic orgasms of various religious cults and neo-nazi airheads?

I think the ban isn't quite as broad as you make it sound Amazing ...
Heres a news story on it ..
France to Debate Bill Banning Head Scarves Mon Feb 2, 3:27 PM ET By ELAINE GANLEY, Associated Press Writer
PARIS - French lawmakers will take up the challenge of integrating Muslims into society starting from the head down, debating a bill Tuesday banning Islamic head scarves in public schools.
AP PhotoShowing just how important the legislation is to the government, Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin will open debate on the bill banning "conspicuous" religious symbols from classrooms.
The measure also bans Jewish skullcaps and large Christian crosses from public schools, but French authorities have made clear it is aimed at Muslim head coverings.
The ban is intended to be a vehicle for guaranteeing respect for France's secular foundations, which ensure a strict separation of church and state in the public domain.
However, President Jacques Chirac has made clear that the bill also is meant to keep France's Muslim population from forcing its traditions onto French society rather than assimilating.
There is growing concern that Muslims are not integrating ? a concern magnified by fears of a rise in Muslim fundamentalism.
France has the largest Muslim population in Western Europe ? an estimated 5 million ? and Islam is the second-most popular religion in this mainly Roman Catholic country.
"To do nothing would be irresponsible," Chirac told his Cabinet last week. "It would be a fault."
The government hopes the law will be enforced when the new school year starts in September. A vote tentatively has been scheduled for Feb. 10.
Some Muslims call the bill discriminatory. It has prompted demonstrations by Muslims in France and around the world, with another planned in France for Saturday.
Muslims who follow a strict interpretation of Islam consider the head scarf ? which covers hair, ears and neck ? obligatory for women.
The debate over wearing it in public school dates to at least 1989, when two girls defied school rules in Creil, outside Paris, and refused to remove their scarves.
Most, but not all, public schools already have guidelines forbidding head coverings. However, schools have been left to decide themselves whether to take action against those flouting the rules.
The bill would not apply to private schools or to French schools in other countries. It calls for sanctions ranging from a warning to a temporary suspension to an expulsion.
The governing party is unhappy with some aspects of the current bill and believes it should be amended to emphasize mediation when the law is broken.
"It is not a law firstly of interdiction. It is a law of dissuasion," Jacques Barrot, the head of Chirac's UMP party in the National Assembly, the lower house, said recently.
Despite dissent, the bill is all but assured passage, as Chirac's party holds 364 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly, and a bill needs only 288 votes to pass. Some 140 deputies ? or nearly a quarter of lawmakers ? have signed up to comment on the bill.
Chirac agreed to proceed with legislation at the recommendation of a presidential commission that spent six months studying the state of secularism in France.
However, several commission members were quoted Monday by the newspaper Le Monde as saying they were unhappy with the bill because it omits numerous recommendations they considered crucial.
Historian Rene Remond was quoted as saying that the commission's work was shortened into a brief bill emphasizing the forbidden rather than addressing the real issues.
"There is tension over an ultra-minority problem when the real challenge is social and professional integration," Remond was quoted as saying.

If I was to draw a comparison of god and my actual father you would get this conclusion. If I was to find out that my father killed all of my brothers and sisters for just being themselves my integrity to him would be fully shaken. If my father was to never speak to me no matter how many times I called him I would definately be faultering .. If my father was to tell me he was going to kill me if I didnt do exactly what he wanted me to do I would tell him to piss off.
How could I love anyone that treats us like this ?

The Soul & A Visit To The Opticians, Hmmmm ....
by Celtic innot long ago, a month or two back, i thought it was about time that i got my eyes tested, cos i wasn't believing what i was seeing.
(last bit, just an off the wall comment, no relationship to the actual sentence).
it was certainly an altogether interesting perspective that one picks up at the opticians.

Hehhehe I went to get my eyes checked today .. I had a loverly lady doctor ... I remember thinking when she was leaning right in to me that I was glad I had brushed my teeth extra well. Some people feel uncomfortable with having other people so close because they fear their own sexuality. Theres nothing to be scared of though. Also our faces are extremely senetive to having the opposite to our sexual desire near them. I guess it doesn't bother me as much because I have kissed plenty of girls as well as guys .. having kissed both guys and girls I can tell you that generally a kiss is the same no matter what sex they are.
It's a fuuny little situation

Were YOU Considered A "Good Example" In The Congregation???

m0nk3y
Actually when I was like around 14 I lied to my mum one day that I was offered drugs and that I said no .. well then it was spread like wildfire all around the congregation by my mum .. the next thing I knew I was being asked and practically forced up on the platform by an elder to show such a good example to the other young ones about being strong *giggles* .. At the time I was so scared of just being up on the platform .. and it was all over a lie I told just to make mum think I was being a good boy. I had to go through with the lie over the platform .. so there I was telling all the congregation how I was offered drugs and I said "noooo" mmm kay.
And for that night I was the congregation
I fear I dirtied that reputation by revealing my gaysexuality years later .. I wonder if all the young ones had given up their drug habits by then

I'm sorry but if my parent had put up the magazines in the car window I am afraid I would have become rather famous, yes I would have been scattered all over the news worldwide "YOUNG BOY CUTS UP PARENTS INTO TINY BITS AND BURYS THE REMAINS IN THE CELLAR"
"We were on our way to a Jehovahs Witness convention, it was suppose to be about fun, I don't understand what went wrong" A close friend stated after this gross crime was commited by this minor.
Truely I say to you I can think of nothing more embaressing to me than displaying magazines in the car window .. it was bad enough that we had to go at all.
