Dateline in UK-Europe
by cornish inas has been mentioned before on this board,cnbc the european finance version of cnn which does have a few non finance programs will be screening dateline as usual at midnight on saturday.. the only question i have is will the dateline show we are eagerly awaiting be screened the saturay following the tuesday show or the saturday preeceding the tuesday show?.
i would have guessed it would be the saturday following,if not,then i have just missed it.. anyway i remember when most people ran analogue satelite that on the eutelsat hot bird satelite you used to be able to watch what was then called nbc super channel which ran a standard nbc schedule,i dont know if it is still available on analogue for anyone who still has analogue set up on hot bird.i think it changed name to nbc europe,in which case you could possibly see it tuesday night,anyway for most of us over here we can definately see dateline on cnbc on astra digital saturday night,or watch it on streaming video through nbcs website.

Trading Standards
by cornish inthis thought just crossed my mind.. if the watchtower society was a product and not a religion they would be prosecuted by the advertizing standards authority for misleading advertizing,and the trading standards authority for not supplying the promised product.. .
it seems that we have more rights when we buy a vacume cleaner or groceries than when we buy into a religion that can control our whole lives resources.

Who Actually Runs Commentary Site?
by cornish ini just wondered who actually runs this website, http://www.commentarypress.com/commentmain.html.
is it ray franz?.
i found the article on the possibility that the flood was likely only in the messataponia region interesting,especially that arat would have had a different meaning to the present mountain of arat in turkey.

The Ransom paid
by cornish indoes the jw theory on the ransom balance.
the jw theory ransom issue is likened to a hostage situation where a ransom price is paid in order for the captive to be released,when adam lost perfection and brought misery and turmoil for mankind ,the price was to high for anyone to pay except perfect jesus,he brought back mankind,or more specifically those who believe in him.. ok,so the ransom is paid,it was paid nearly 2000 years ago so why is none of mankind seeing any physical benefits now,the jws see this as buying back earthly perfection,and not as a benefit to be seen on after giving up adams flesh upon death,so if something is paid for why does mankind including those who believe keep suffering as though it has not been,why does it have to wait for some future date,why is suffering prolonged when the scales are already level?.
are hostages still held captive even though the price has been paid?

JWS Prosselizing on Paltalk
by cornish ini have visited the jw and friends room a few times on paltalk,but usually i either get red dotted or booted for raising points they dont want raised,anyway yesterday i go in there under a different user name playing mr gun ho loyal witness,talking about how we should be loyal to the governing body,and dont want to get misled by the twisted lies of apostates and how we need to warn the world urgently to get into jehovahs organization or they will die at armaggedon,you know that sort of trash,very soon i get private text messages from jws that i should not talk like that as there were interested ones in the room i could stumble,who were not ready for such frank talk,anyway they hated this frank approach which showed them up to be a load of pawns in front of interested ones got suspicious and asked me to read todays day text,but of course i have no year book,hey is that proof of being a genuine jw nowdays knowing todays text!.
the point i am raising is this,the internet must be a wonderful tool for those who want to get their report brownie points up,i mean they can sit by the pc and mic and notch up hours and hours,even pioneer without going out of the house in the wind rain or snow.. is this the begining of cyber pioneer?

A Worldwide Rally
by cornish ina rally against bullying cults.. one thing i remember reading in steve hassans book combating cult mind control is how much cults hate publicity ie having their dirty deeds out in the open.. i was thinking to myself what do people usually do to highlight some concern or make a protest,here in the uk one popular method is to do a march demonstration and hand a petition or something to the prime minister at ten downing street,would it not be great if ex members of jehovahs witnesses and sympathisers and possibly including ex members of other cults could get together and have a large rally in the nations capital,a point of contention could be destructive cults having charitable status or something but including issues like blood shunning,manipulation etc culminating in downing street,other countries could have similar simaltanious rallies in their capitals.it would probrably grab the medias attention.. are there enough of us?.
just a thought,mayby a little over the top!

Denial-A familiar story
by cornish inits amazing how many, after seeing the damning evidence of the video featuring bin laden talking about the attrocities,dismiss it as a doctored fake etc,they just cannot accept the possibility it might be true,it just seems like what ever evidence is presented it will be dissmissed as not to be trusted,just what would they accept as proof,nothing it seems.. havent we heard this all before somewhere?.
watchtower,un!
