ANNUAL MEETING ... Silverdome

i want to barf.

i was wondering when the hell samuel herd was going to shut up.. blab blab blab.... aren't we wonderful, oh we are so wonderful.. about the only thing that was said that i could see as being something which the gb would see as touchy enough to warant the multiple announcements for " no tape recorders, no video recorders and no computer note taking" would be the statement by herd that there's "going to be a lot off killing, billions will die ....in swift fashion".

and the other gb (fill in the name) who talked about being in the new world "in two hundred years".... wow.. that's leaving enough prophetic lee-way for the gb heirs to the thrones.. much emphasis was placed on the "...two roads to the new system ...the high road and the low road".

Thanks for the info, LT.

...They will insist we take a side, and when we don't, they can use this as an excuse to take action against us. ... They might use the excuse that they need the land to fund wars or something of that possessions.

When will those clueless dimwits realise that on this planet with about 6*10^9 people sitting on it, they're just yet another utterly insignificant tiny weird fundamentalist sect, and that nobody except maybe their "unbelieving" relatives and some ex-Dubs gives a damn about them?

Money, property, things, will be meaningless to us.

I guess that must be the thoughest part for the WTS.

Newsflash....USA invades Iceland

by ISP in

america has taken its war against terror beyond afghanistans borders and has struck another country.. .

as american bombs and missiles struck taleban targets in four afghan cities for the second consecutive night, the bush administration served formal notice at the united nations that this could be just the beginning of a worldwide campaign and that campaign has been extended to iceland.

john negroponte, the us ambassador to the un, said that the us investigation prompted military action against iceland as he had conclusive evidence that it sheltered al-qaeda and its taleban protectors...at some point, although he excepted that their might have been a spelling mistake.

Iceland do you mean the place that was formerly Bejams?

In that case, they wouldn't have to invade - a few 'tactical' nukes on Britain's power plants would be enough to stop those fridges.

yeah like, my boss's friends uncle called me the other day and said that at least 50 crazed rabid arabs ran into the local taco bell and like threw a giant beaker marked with a skull and cross bones on the floor and then they ran away laughing, outside a helicopter dropped a rope ladder and the arabs climbed on and flew off, all the while laughing manicaly and chanting 'death to the infidels!

' .

although you may read only local newspapers reporting this incident, and although the local papers say only that 2 hispanic males ordered a mountain dew and it spilled and then they left the taco bell cursing the management, my version is the honest truth and not sensationalism at all!.

Oh! Well:

Judas Priest and Anthrax are in the process of finalizing the scheduled dates for their tour together. It appears that the tour will hit the same cities as originally planned, although a few venues may change. The dates are starting in Los Angeles tentatively on January 18, 2002. Confirmed dates should be announced next week.

Proper attire for visits at your favourite junk food vendor:

Two thoughts:

1) You wouldn't want to get nauseous when you're wearing a gas mask. So you better skip Taco Bell completely.
2) If I was an evil terrorist, I mean, REALLY evil, I wouldn't smear the stuff on computer keyboards or sprinkle it on your burgers. I'd put the stuff in gask mask filters and sell those.

UNITED NATIONS , NGO's and WTBS

i have several observation to make:.

(from the link : http://www.un.org/moreinfo/ngolink/brochure.htm).

fodeja

P.S. I hope that some others newspapers,
in Europe, will soon publish an
article on the same subject.

Mac, I actually consider it a small miracle that just _one_ newspaper has a story on this, and a fairly accurate one (we all know that JW terminology is intricate and not well understood by outsiders). The entire thing may be a great story for ex-JWs, but I presume that even persons with a good measure of interest in religious matters will read this, shrug their shoulders, take a sip from their cuppa tea and turn to the sports pages, forgetting everything in the process.

The real value of this is its effect on active JWs. If other papers should publish similar stories (which seems unlikely to me), those articles will probably contain a lot more inaccuracies. There aren't so many newspapers out there with ex-JWs (or people with good connections to ex-JWs) on their staff. As "comment" pointed out in another thread, even seemingly small inaccuracies will damage the credibility of the entire issue in the minds of the Dubs.
Well, just my thoughts. We'll see what happens.

I'm probably the 23984th person to point this out, but if you take a look on the main page, there's a link to an article in Britain's Guardian newspaper:

Jehovah's Witnesses link to UN queried
Sect accused of hypocrisy over association with organisation it has demonised. ...
The United Nations is being asked to investigate why it has granted associate status to the Jehovah's Witnesses, the fundamentalist US-based Christian sect, which regards it as the scarlet beast predicted in the Book of Revelation.
Disaffected members of the 6m-strong group, which has 130,000 followers in the UK, have accused the Witnesses' elderly governing body of hypocrisy in secretly accepting links with an organisation that they continue to denounce in apocalyptic terms.
The UN itself admitted yesterday that it was surprised that the sect, whose formal name is the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, had been accepted on its list of non-governmental organisations for the last 10 years. ...

Patriotism, media credibility, and the bottom line

interesting story about the media:.

http://www.sunspot.net/news/printedition/bal-to.media04oct04.story.

in a thread a few weeks back, i mentioned my belief that the corporations that had bought up the media outlets were more interested in profits for shareholders than objective reporting.

fodeja

Now the reality is probably differnt, for the news personnel objected to this, and are fighting to regain their credibility. Perhaps this will be just an aberration, and objectivity will be restored.

I'm having my doubts. What's amazing is the glaringly obvious manipulation that has been happening in the media without explicit statements such as the one you mentioned. I only caught a glimpse of CNN on the 11th of September, and it was a disgrace to journalism. Within the first couple of hours after the event, the presentation became more and more overloaded with patriotic symbols (animated flags and so on), the language changed from "terrorist attack" to "war" with recurring references to Pearl Harbor, and pretty soon you could hear not-so-subtle military-like drumrolls mixed into the sound.

That's not journalism, it's cheap agitprop.

Norm,

One is reminded of Bob Dylan' words: "Patriotism is the last refuge to which a scoundrel clings"

Scoundrels can also cling to patriotic neckties:

These guys are amazing. If you feel more religious than patriotic today, you may want to try this:

They also have inspirational socks. I've always wanted to inspire people with my socks, however, so far most of them have taken offence.
