  Would you/could you look at the pics of dead Osama Bin Laden?

  if, and i'm saying, if, the pics of osama were released, would you want to look at them?.

  do you think you could stomach the sight of a man with a bullet through the eye?.

  or would it be worth it just to prove once and for all that the terrorist king is dead?.

  Let's see, we've (us Apostates) grew up with and have seen graphic Watchtowers and Awakes showing people being killed at Armageddon. No biggie.

  Then came Friday and 13th and The Terminator movies. And video games.

  Yes, we can handle it. I want to see them.

  I also want to see the video that the SEALs were wearing when they walked in.

  A 40-50 minute fire fight?

  With who? OBLs unarmed wives? His children? Oh, his aide/courier.

  A 40-50 minute fire fight which turned out to be "one sided". And short. Hmmm.

  Details, details.

  Show the video, show the pictures. Censorship is not good. Especially in America.

  Do You Blame Your Current Life's Issues Because You Were A JW?

  So many people blame "not going to college", "not getting a college education" on the WT.

  How many people in the US go to college and complete that education?

  According to Wikipedia, which pulled it's data from the US Census, 27%.

  So, 27% of YOU would have gone on to college and completed a Bachelors degree. Yet, the main gripe is "I didn't get to go to college". Were you qualified? Did you take the testing? Did you and/or your parents have the funding and the means to go to college. College ain't cheap. Even 25 years ago, it was expensive and college loans had an interest rate of 15%. Currently they are 7%. A few years ago they were 3%. That is huge over the repayment period and can make the difference between purchasing a much needed car and/or a home.

  So, for the 27% of you who could have/would have gone--what would you have studied? Did you have a plan? I did. I went. I paid my loans (15%) off in my alloted 10 years and rented a crappy apartment.

  What about you?

  I certainly will not be "offended" by photos of OBL dead, head blown apart or not.

  I grew up seeing WT articles of people falling into craters created by our great Creator Jehovah during the mass murder to be known as Armageddon. I accepted this as fate. Then the Friday the Thirteenth movies came out along with other horror movies and movies showing all types of carnage. Terminator etc.

  And they think we'll be offended by seeing the most wanted criminal in modern history dead?

  Give me a F6cking break!

  Show the damn pictures.

  Photo, video, etc.

  I want to see his brain splayed across the screen.

  Just like I saw those people falling from the twin towers, I can handle it. I won't go out and kill any Muslims as a result. I just want "Closure". Seeing it will give me Closure.

  Is that too much to ask of my Government?

  "origins" of teachings/holidays matter, but not to anything JW

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's are always saying the origins of things are pagan...referring to all holidays and false doctrines that all other religions are chock full of.

  so why does it not matter that the "modern day" orginazations origins were full of what we now know were false teachings?

  and they followed one man...russel, then rutherford for many years...which is their own unique definition of part of what a "cult" is.. instead of placing any emphasis on how pagan or wrong the origins of early teachings of wt are...they simply say there has been new light.

  I always send my JW mom flowers and a card for Mother's Day. She never once has refused them nor has she said "Oh, don't that's a pagan holiday". She also accepts all gifts on her birthday, Xmas and any other holiday (pagan or otherwise).

  Morals and ethics, JW style.

  All of the above.

  I'd go with Terry's advice first. Look at all sources. Avoid one source and avoid Fox and MSNBC. Totally biased.

  Read all stories to get all sides. I like the international side to see what people looking in see and report.

  Oh, good luck and happy reading.

  One question:

  If they can identify Osama from his DNA using his sisters brain, and on CSI and other shows they do it in hours, why does it take a rape or murder victim weeks or months to get their accusers DNA identified?

  Just sayin'. Something seems off with the DNA version. Unless there is a super secret, only special people DNA identification system.

  Oh, yeah, Whoopee, he's dead. Now the super whacko, zealous, western hating, jihadist Muslims will be really mad. Time to build a bunker.

  i've posted several times over the past 6 months about my daughter, ali's severe heart failure due to a virus.

  it has been a roller coaster ride.

  recently her leads from her pacemaker and defibrilator became displaced due to strong coughing due to bronchitis.
