by Jourles infirst off, i'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone else would like to take a stab at where this might lead.
scandalous?
probably not, but interesting nonetheless.. if you take a look at the knocking website, you will notice at the bottom of each page is a list of supporters.

Why do apostates lie about where they get their information?
by slimboyfat init does no good.
i don't understant it - who do they think they're foolin'?.
i have just been listening to the judicual committee that disfellowshipped rick and laverne townsend and it is cringeworthy, to say the least, to listen to them cover-up, distort and outright lie about the sources of their information and the real background to their dissent.

Do you wish SUFFERING on some human beings? Should you?
by BonaFide inwith the recent illness of a gb member who has hurt many people, some have commented that they would like to have him suffer, various ways have been mentioned including having his mind fine, but his body suffering.. we all here have a hatred for child molesters, abusers, those who make others suffer.. and there are many examples in history as well.
hitler, josef mengele, john wayne gacy, and many others.. is it right to want them to suffer for what they have done?
should they be made to undergo the exact same suffering they inflicted on others?.

by BonaFide inwhen i bring a subject up and then talk about old wt's or the blood fraction, i occasionally get that response.. yes, i know i can reply, "but i am telling you the truth.
don't you want the truth?".
but i am looking for something more subtle, something that can help a witness to get beyond their cognitive dissonance.. but without a standoff.

Forced chemo, parental rights, and religious freedom
by dinah inthis case just bothers me.. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ap_on_he_me/us_med_forced_chemo.
yes, i understand parents are responsible for their children and i dont want anyone stepping in to take control of mine but when your views of life are clouded by religious crap......... the mother says her child is not in immediate danger from cancer?
misplaced faith if you ask me.
