  It's a long time from that happening. WT still sits on a goldmine, and membership through attrition and new converts is still holding steady, even with a slight increase. Don't dance on their grave just yet....

  Godadist,

  I brought that point up earlier--he has no noteworthy accomplishments and has basically done nothing but tow the 'party line' for the dems in the senate. Whooaaa--that takes some guts...Lol

  MT,

  I think we've driven this Condi Rice thing into the ground. Similar accusations regarding competency could be leveled against Madeleine Albright or Colin Powell.

  sixofnine,

  you're certainly entitled to your opinion of Ms. Rice--it is shared by a lot of people, and certainly the overwhelming majority on this board. Like everyone, she has certainly made mistakes. I happen to agree with you that Richard Clarke was sounding warning bells that were not heeded by the Bush administration. That being said, I hardly think you can lay the blame of the entire 9/11 disaster solely at her feet, which I assume you are not trying to make the argument for. No one saw that coming in the detail that it did come to pass, not even Dick Clarke

  Getting back on topic, Im curious, Six, why exactly do you think Obama said what he said last friday?

  i am a new to posting on this board though i have been actively reading your posts the past while and i thank some of you for the interesting viewpoints that you have verbalized and that i have enjoyed thinking on.

  i am still an active jw, in fact an elder of 20 years standing hence my need to limit information about my personal circumstances.

  i have served in a number of countries in europe as a pioneer and elder over the past three decades.

  I agree, stillaxjwelder. I really think Condi Rice is a smart lady, despite the fact that liberals and the mainstream media try to lampoon her and make her out to be nothing but a Bush suckup. She was a provost at a major university before W ever even came along and speaks 7 languages fluently. It takes someone pretty dang smart to have those achievements on their resume. She is a very successful woman in her own right. I think she would make a great veep.

  Wow...some great posts and a lot of participation in this thread, albeit it is mostly coming from BO supporters--but I knew that would be that case when I initially posted the link be discussed here, considering this board has a definite liberal bent. Sorry I cannot respond to all of you, but that's generally not my MO anyway, as some of you know. I just like talkin' politics. HA!

  I figured he would eventually play the race card, but I just thought it would take a little longer than it did and that it would happen a little closer to the conventions and the general election. But, I'm sure he has a strategic reason for doing it. My guess is that he or someone on his team has some polling data that prompted them to have him say this. Like with the Clintons, there is nothing that happens by chance with this guy--everything is scripted and choreographed to the finest detail. Even though I don't have a dog in the fight, watching him and fellow liberal John McCain go at each other in this horse race is going to be interesting.

  any new updates regarding "higher" education ?

  it seems that within the last two weeks comments regarding the thought that elders and ms would be demoted if their.

  children went to college was pretty popular.. i mentioned this to quite a few "on the edge" witnesses who are really pro-education and they were really interested in learning more about this, or hearing it from the .

  platform, magazine, or co (who just left last week.).

  There's a major crackdown going on right now, but it is being directed at the servant bodies by way of the CO. Don't look for anything to be announced from the platform to the r/f.
