They keep squaking about this because they're a bunch of loons who are bittern because the end hasn't come yet. They have some gull repeating this guano all the time. They act like a bunch of heron addicts. Pay those turkeys no attention. They'll all be eating crow before too long.

Comment made by an uber dub aunt
by joe134cd inok i've read similar threads to this before, but i just thought i would share a comment made by an aunt.
my aunts bible student died, and due to the families wishes the funeral service was given in another church.
my aunt with a disgusted look on her face when recalling the events to me said "and you know what, they must of only spent about 5 minutes talking about the person, and the rest of it was about the church".

New Article on BEARDS and Attire of Jehovah's Witnesses
by jwfacts ini have had requests to add an article about beards and jehovah's witnesses.
it is interesting that there is virtually no statement that says a witness cannot have a beard, yet universally they do not have beards.
i have scoured quotes from all the threads on jwn, all references to beard on the cd watchtower library, and copies of elders letters that i have.

Great article.
Under the subheading Excessive Control, second quote, I noticed a small typo.
"Therefore, even during leisure time, such as when going out to eat after the program, we should dress as befits ministers who are in the city for the purpose of attending a Christian convention and should not were such clothing as jeans, shorts, or T-shirts." Kingdom Ministry 2007 Apr p.4
Perhaps "wear"?
I've learned so much from your website. Thanks for all your hard work.

if they are banned or persecuted, they scream their heads off, but as soon as they control things they want to ban any alternative worship.. cooks bishop condemns diwali celebration as blasphemyupdated 15 november 2013, 14:52 aest.

because the Cooks Islands is a Christian country, no other form of worship should be permitted.
I heard a similar comment by a retired S. Baptist preacher recently. We get together for bible discussions and are careful to respect each other’s differences but he got a little excited about how God Bless America was bending over backward to accommodate Muslims and other non-Christian religions.
"This country was founded by Christians, for Christians!"
We were discussing the book of Daniel, specifically where the three boys were thrown in the fire. Mr. Preacher man said that the command to bow down to that alter was Nebuchadnezzar's version of trying to unite all the various gods in to one harmonious act of worship.
I thought, "huh?"
"And that's what Obama is doing now. He's trying to make Christians accept all these other gods and I'LL NOT STAND FOR IT!"
I thought, "Obama is doing... huh?"
I quickly remembered how rabidly some of these American zealots, especially in the southern states, are as incapable of seeing the difference between God and America as Jehovah's Witnesses are of seeing the difference between the governing body and Jehovah. It's not an argument worth having with a fully indoctrinated drone. I let it drop and tried to steer the conversation back to neutral territory.
I wish I had thought to ask him Tec's question:
So how could there be a 'christian country' other than the one He is coming to establish?

Talk about mixed feelings. I see what they're trying to accomplish but...
Some kids at a Colorado Springs, Colorado, elementary school are ignoring their classmates this week—on orders of their very own principal. It’s all part of a new antibullying campaign meant to build empathy, though it’s stirring up a bit of controversy among parents, too.
“We are putting the students in a situation where they can experience what it's like to be left out,” the principal of public charter school James Madison Charter Academy, Anne Shearer-Shineman, tells KKTV. “They will have more insight into things that they might be doing to others that they don’t realize that they're doing.”
To that end, kids in fourth through sixth grade have been taking turns wearing special stickers on their collars to indicate that they are to be shunned by classmates. According to the rules of the exercise, students are not allowed to tease or be mean to those wearing the stickers. Still, at least one mom was angry that her already-bullied son was being subjected to more pain. “They've got a good heart behind it, it's just being approached in a very misguided way,” the parent, Johanna Myers, tells KKTV. (Myers did not immediately return a call seeking comment from Yahoo Shine.)
Bullying experts give the exercise mixed reviews. “The experience of being ignored or shunned is an incredibly powerful one,” Jaana Juvonen, a professor of developmental psychology at UCLA who has focused recent research on bullying, tells Yahoo Shine. She adds that the principal’s intent is “so taken” but likens her approach to the famous “blue-eyed/brown-eyed” social experiment of 1968, in which Iowa third-grade teacher Jane Elliott divided her class into groups based on eye color to teach them lessons about discrimination. And in that respect, it raises concerns.
“While most agree that the intent behind the experiment was good, the ethics and impact are debated,” Juvonen says. “The Colorado idea sounds similar, except [in this case] it’s individually based, so there’s no comfort in the shared plight. Also, when just a couple of children experience this for an entire school day it can be traumatic, especially for those who are more sensitive in general or for those who are already bullied.”
Additionally, she notes, feeling excluded might, ironically, lead to some kids to become angry or resentful, possibly fueling the fire for bullies and further hurting those who get bullied. “Then the very good intent backfires in many ways,” she says, adding that overall, the experiment sounds “too extreme.”
Antibullying trainer and retired New York school principal Jim Dillon agrees that the exercise is coming from a caring place, and also understands why some parents are being critical. “I have a lot of empathy for principals, and it’s very difficult to make any decision that everyone is going to be OK with,” Dillon, author of “No Place for Bullying: Leadership for Schools That Care for Every Student,” tells Yahoo Shine. “Whenever you try something new, you’re going to get people who are critical, because they’re not used to it. So you almost have to overcommunicate it, and let people know that they can opt out if they choose.”
Because bullying is “insidious,” with research showing that maybe 5 percent of it actually gets observed by adults, he says, building empathy for those students who could be targets of bullying is a good approach to take. “Role plays are useful tools for helping kids understand what’s going on in a bullying situation,” he notes, “and follow-up discussions are important, too, so that the feelings involved can be articulated and understood.” Dillon adds that in general, teachers should be aware of which students are already getting bullied and should get a pass on wearing the sticker.
Finally, he says, it’s important that students be given ways to deal with bullying when they see it, and that they’ve been given opportunities to create trusting relationships with teachers. “I think kids are wired forempathy, but if not given skills and knowledge about how to act on it, then it can fade over time. Which is sad.” -

I like what Anony Mous and Smiddy said. The only the authority those men have over you is the authority YOU GRANT THEM. As long as they sense you fear them they will exploit it and you.
edit: Perhaps "fear" is not the correct word.
