I saw that one too last night - made me sick! And to think that a many christian churches in the world today are probably descendendents from this cruelty and hatred in some way or another. I just hope that this kind of thing can never, ever take place again. Have you noticed how there seems to be very little mentioned about the inquisition by the churches themselves who carried out these atrocities hundreds of years ago? It almost always seems to be brought up by historians. Obviously Christianity doesn't want it's facade of being a "loving and tolerant" religion blown away. Thank goodness there are secular historians out there who are unafraid to delve in the church's past and expose the vile cruelty that went on. And while we're at it, isn't it great that seemingly every day the WT is being exposed more and more as the fraudulent sham it really is?
And yes, it is disgusting that torture and murder are still going on all over the world. If there really was a loving, all powerful god, don't you think he would have created the human race without these evil tendencies?

Hee hee, thanks Stephanus! the one about Lead poisoning made me chuckle. notice how the borg used ecuador as an example rather than a western European or a northern american country - it was a point raised elsewhere on that thread but don't you think the western docs would have diagnosed the poor kid's symptoms as lead poisoning before the "medical" quacks at bethel would?

I wouldn't class myself as an appeaser. I firmly think that Saddam Hussein is an evil, tyrranical despot and he and his cronies need to be removed from power, even if by lethal means if necessary. However, the idea of blasting Baghdad with more cruise missiles in the first two days than during the entire gulf war makes me feel uneasy about the prospect of war in Iraq. If more evidence can be unearthed by the weapons inspectors, and the UN/ international community give their backing then i would definitely back the idea of action in Iraq. But until that happens, i'll still prefer to keep my (fairly)peaceful viewpoint on things. How about trying to weaken his forces by striking at military targets first? How about helping the iraqi people hold an uprising against saddam? How about enlisting more weapons inspection teams and trying to step up military intelligence in iraq?
As for your comments on world war 2, the difference is that Hitler was a genocidal maniac who was trying to take over europe, and the world if possible. In that war (same as today) I would have taken up arms against him and any invading forces. I also feel that the first gulf war was justified, as the allies had the full backing of the UN since Saddam didn't withdraw from kuwait within the 15 days given. In fact, if Britain were to be invaded right now, I'd be doing my damnedest to fight (and die if need be) for my freedom. So to say i'd be a lampshade or in a prison camp speaking german is a bit over the top to say the least.
I know I can be a bit of a firebrand while talking about Bush and Blair, but the simple honest truth is that I don't like either of them. When Bush first got into power (remember that? If I remember rightly didn't Al Gore get more votes?) I can remember reading about him and thinking "this guy looks like he wants to start ww3". Then there was the ditching of the Kyoto treaty, the high import taxes on british steel imports (considering he's supposed Tony's freind) and so on.He talks tough on his so called worldwide war on terrorism.So how come there's no camp x-ray for the terrorist groups in northern ireand for starters?
As for Blair, my list against him is almost endless. There's so much sleaze, lies and corruption going on in his government. Public spending on hospitals, schools, police etc seems to be at an all time low, millions of british children are on the poverty line, and our military equipment seems sub-standard for desert conditions but somehow he can produce 3 billion or so for this war. I could rattle on all night about how so many of the british population seem to have lost faith in the Labour government, but this isn't the place for it.

What puzzles me is how this half witted, hillbilly cowboy bozo idiot (who is deluded enough to think he was picked by his chosen deity), became the most powerful man on the planet. Having a pillock like him in charge worries me, and his ass-kissing poodle sidekick Blair makes me feel ashamed to be british. So, mr Bush - if you're the God-loving Christian you say you are, how does killing innocent Iraqi women and children fit in with the commandment "thou shalt not kill?". As evil as Saddam Hussein is, i don't think blowing innocent people to bits will help things. And one more question, Georgie boy, are you sure that this "war" is about peace, and not oil?

What would the late, great Bill Hicks made of it ?
by figureheaduk inthese days, during the age of the internet, i wonder what bill would have made of the wtbts?
i know that he had a lot of bile to spout at catholicism etc, but since the growth of the internet (and it's wealth of info about most things) sometime after his death in '94 i wonder what he would made of the watchtower and it's false predictions / paedophile protection etc.
anybody know if there are any comedians out there with good anti-watchtower stuff?.

email campaign against the watchtower
by figureheaduk inafter reading the thread "sharon rowe to be df'd tonight" on this board, and reading the replies, i felt so sick at the watchtower organization that i felt the drunken urge to send the watchtower a very short (but straight to the point) email saying "f**k your organization and all your false prophecies, do you ever think about the many lives you've helped to destroy (if not totally destroyed?".
i sent it to [email protected] - it got returned 30 seconds later.
anybody else have a direct e-mail adress for this lying, evil, money grabbing cult?

Sorry, it sould have read "Sharon Roe to be Df'd tonight". Just noticed something - isn't the .org at the end of a website supposed to mean a charity or other non-profit making organization ( when you appear in the new york times' top 100 and make profits of miilions of $//euros/yen/whatever how can you be seen as a charity??) Something tells me the watchtower's website should be www.watchtower.com or better still something like
sorry if it seems a bit long winded. As an outsider who has never been, and never will be a part of their way of things, that's how things look.

To (kind of) qoute Cowboy Bush "Are you with us or against us?". Not that they would listen to us unbelievers/godless heathens/apostates/etc but any kind of cathartic release against the wanktower has to be a good thing

Elders authority over non JW's?
by figureheaduk injust been looking at e-watchman's mailbag (a bit one sided to say the least.........), and there was a question from a girl who is studying with someone else who she's fallen in love with.
it seems that she's been told that they can't date until they've both been baptized - so she asked the e-watchman his advice.
the first sentence of his reply was "the elders in the congregation don't really have authority over those who are not part of the congregation".

In other words they DO have the authority to rule/govern
Yeah, right. As if I would willingly give my obediance to an organization that:
1) Has falsely predicted armageddon a number of times since the late 19th century, and then blamed their followers for reading into things the wrong way.
2) Forbids it's followers from joining the military, while coining it in from it's association with people like Rand Cam
3) Has switched back and forth it's doctrines (i.e. the blood issue, UN involvement etc) many times over the years
4) Forbids it's followers from having association with former members (including family members). How much heartbreak and misery has this caused over the years?
5) Often contradicts what science and history can otherwise prove true
5) Protects child molesters by using bible verses that basically say "it didn't happen if the bad guy doesn't confess, or if there aren't at least two witnesses" How many child molesters do you think will own up, and how many acts of child abuse do you think have at least two witnesses? And how many poor, innocent victims have been ostracized by their families and congregations due to this lunacy, while at the same time the violator is free to roam possibly targeting other youngsters?
The Watchtower makes me sick. How they can get away with it all is beyond me. Thankfully, i have never been a part of it, and luckily, never will be.
"Their tolerance of disrespect is in imitation of god and christ's "
Could you ever have respect for this kind of thing. I know i couldn't!
