Did abortion lower the crime rate?
by free2beme in
1. jw
2. friends
i was watching a news program the other day, and they were using the idea that abortion has been a huge reason why crime has gone down.

these are the reasons they said.. 1. crime in large cities started decreasing in the 1990's, roughly about 16-18 years after abortion was made legal.. 2. crime is often done by people between the ages of 16-24.

3. abortion drops the rate and number of unwanted children being born to single mothers, or to people who do not care about them.

.

the front of this new watchtower-sized invitation features a common painting of the jw paradise and the theme of his years distirct convention, "deliverance at hand" emblazened across the front.

it looks like they're trying to work up armageddon fervour again.. .

2. friends
after the distastful and depression memorial at the kingdom hall last wednesday night, i guess i just felt the need to go somewhere else this morning for easter so i drove around.......i was going to go to the presbyterian church but the service wasn't untill 11:00am....ditto for the lutheran and united churches too, so i ended up going to the catholic church (of all places!

) because the service started at 9:30am.

never been to a catholic service before, (except for one wedding and one funeral years ago).

You're not allowed to say anything to Jesus
by JH in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
.

witness find it silly that catholics have statues or a crucifix, and that some will look at these while talking to jesus in prayer.. the bottom line is, althought you're a christian, you can't even pray to jesus or even say thank-you for anything to jesus.. imagine if an apostle would still be alive today, and although he talked to jesus when he was on earth, and all of a sudden after jesus's death, that apostle wouldn't be allowed to even talk to him in prayer, basically shunning him for the last 2000 years.. when jesus died 2000 years ago, did the apostles just shun him from that day like the jw's want us to do, by only praying jehovah?.
