Any Comment On The Amanda Knox Verdict?
by acolytes ini think the verdict was not based on anti-americasim as the boyfriend was italian and was also convicted.. i think the irresponsible journalisam and charactor assasination on a persons character to sell newspapers and gain t.v ratings reflect badly on english journalisam.
i think this must have effected the thinking of a jury allowed to be exposed to such media frency.. sadly english jounalisam has been responsible for helping convict innocent people in the past.
the wimbeldon common murder and false conviction of colin stagg was a classic example.. i also remember how in america (many years ago)a au-pair from england was convicted of shaking a baby to death.

American TV sucks
by acolytes inlet me just say i think american t.v is the most entertaining in the world.. i love the citcoms (seinfelt, everybody loves raymond ect ect) i grew up with rawhide, the virginian, star treck, rovkford files, starsky and hutch ect ect.. at the moment iam watching americas got talent (maybe it hasnt) but the shows great entertainment.
then i rememberd when i was in the u.s and how i felt american t.v sucked with all those commercials.. tell me do you have non commercial t.v.in the states?.
how much time is given to commersials with a 22 minute seinfet episode?.

My heart bleeds for (This woman) the women.
by acolytes inwhen ever bethel is rang the sister answers and places your call with an experienced brother.. so today i rang the bethel and spoke to the receptionist.. i said my question was directed to her.
this was the tough question "can you imagine never having had a child and held that child in your arms.........the conversation progressed and the sister said "do you know how old iam.....".
to cut a long phone-call.

If you accept other peoples cultures ?
by acolytes inthen maybe its best just to simply leave as silently as possible.. the truth is i still have rules that if broken will destroy any frienship i have.. of course that rule doesnt apply to my kid who i will always love .. but my point is whilst i realise the witnesses are wacky in their thinking, my thinking is pretty wacky.. iam grateful for the hatred of worldly people i learnt from the witnesses.
it has made me less hateful.. if it wasnt for my association with the witnesses i would not now be an athiest.. i hope tomorrow i find iam wrong and a loving god exists.. but its comforting being an athiest with the knowledge i could be wrong.. acolytes.
