Do you know?

a certain jw doesn't believe in the 1914 doctrine any longer.

this, of course, naturally gives rise to certain serious problems.

for example, how can this person now continue to participate in field service activities and make use of the publications produced by the wts?

the image below depicts the "manger scene".

if you look close, and use a little imagination, you can make out the "three wise men" there on the left, and joseph and mary on the right.

of course the brightest, pulsating "star" above them all is the "star of bethlehem".

If I had my way, Saddam would still be in power

are we beginning to see that the argument of wether or not we should have gone to war is starting to get a little circular.. there are points to be made on both sides.

in my mind it comes down to wether or not you think that the us should be the policeman for the rest of the world.. i personally still don't think we needed to go to war, even though we did capture saddam, i know, i know, hard to believe.. just think, if i had my way, saddam would still be in power!!!!

is a wmd incarnate.
