the article begins with:.
"a new group of atheists has arisen in society.
Their analogies are just priceless. They assert that God is no more responsible for the bad things that happen on Earth than a car manufacturer is if someone, upon buying one of their cars, crashes because of using a cell phone while driving.
Of course the car manufacturer in not responsible; it is NO LONGER IN CONTROL of the vehicle.
Are they then saying that God is not responsible for the bad things on Earth because he is NO LONGER IN CONTROL?

Never lower your standards for anything...period. That is what has gotten us into a lot of trouble in the past. You end up with mediocrity because if you seek to raise someone else's and lower your own, and then what do you have? A mediocre mess.
Agreed!

I'm certain this is not how JWoods thinks
Ie thinks otherwise, then he needs to state so. He has said some pretty wacky stuff on this DB, and he was unable to state difinitively that he was against forcing Muslims to register.
I can only go by what he has posted.
A small sample...
So you are all for dropping a nuclear bomb on the middle east, killing women and children. They all deserve to die, just to make you feel better. God forbid you show some restraint. Its a f*%kin dick contest. Got it.

So what do you advocate the USA do with Muslims and the thousands of Mosques in this country.
Sadly, because of the conditions of today's world and today's Islam - they should be monitored carefully. This is in fact the proven breeding ground of domestic Islamic terror. It goes against libertarian princlples, I know, but as long as advocation for attacks and radicalism continue - then defensive measures should continue. No, I do not advocate "rounding them all up, closing the mosques, and putting them into FEMA concentration camps", if that is what you are suggesting. But, it is obvious that if a busload of people has only one or two which carry an infectious disease - the whole bus has to be at least monitored if not quaranteened.

You seem completely unable to grasp one simple fact Woods. We are supposed to be better than this. The Taliban/Muslim Extremists are.............gasp! Extreme!!!! Well, duh. Are we supposed to be gauging our standards by them? I want to know what it is about America that the righties supposedly love so much when they are always trying to bring us down to the lowest levels.
I think this is the most amusing part of the argument presented by the JWoodses of the world. Their argument is as follows:
1) The US is better because we have freedom of religion, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech/press, democracy, etc.
2) Muslim countries are worse than us, because they do not have those things.
3) Therefore, the US should LOWER its standards and act like the Muslim world until the Muslim world learns how great we are (were) and starts acting how we USED to act.

alright, i'm curious now cause i've been wanting to know how certain people go their screennames.
now some people have their names involved with makes sense and so forth.
but i guess i'll start out.

a. caution about news.
don't take the leaked news as absolute truth.
wait for it to happen then the news become real and valid.. beware that nothing prevents watchtower from becoming a spin master - saying or planning one thing then implementing something else ... to throw us off-track or distract us from essential matters.. watchtower could confuse us by leaking rumors and spinning plans.
I believe my analysis of the situation seemed to make sense and worth posting. I could have been concise and just say "Don't believe everything you hear...", but others may appreciate why explain.
I'm not the only one here giving advice. It's a give and take relationship here.
Many wish Watchtower goes away. But Watchtower will not fall by itself. Examine WT history, the pattern will just repeat if we don't change the pattern.
BTW for the ideas I enumerated, most were already discussed on JWN. I've not noticed anyone implementing these ideas.
Let me guess...software programmer or something to do with computers? Have you guys ever gone on to Microsoft's "Answers" webpage where you can write questions and get responses from Microsoft personnel? Their responses sound just like the computers they work with. I really is comical, but sad at the the same time...sounds just like this guy.
I knew what would come up; I chose my "name" with purpose.
congressional committees have uncovered as many as 30 shell companies set up by blackwater to get $millions from us taxpayers since their evangelical leader said they were getting out of services provided to the us government.
many of these are set up in tax havens throughout the world.

good news!.
the dutch kingdom ministry shows the following statement:.
this year (2010) 43.372 persons attended the memorial, 100 persons took of the symbols.. the 2009 attendance figure was 51.578.. this means that 8.206 went missing in one single year, a plunge of 16%.. i get the impression that the partakes figure is going up as they now avoid the term "annointed".. .
With loss of control of information via the internet will come loss of control of people. This will prove true for China, Iran, and JWs.
