Pagan origins
by Stealth inthe february 8, 2002 awake on weddings makes the following statement on page 6 about traditions.. what is the meaning?
is it tied to superstition that is a good-luck or fertility wish - such as showering the newlyweds with rice?
is it connected with false religion or other practices condemned by the bible?.

CONSCIENCE
by mike047 inconscience is always to be respected, never to be throttled or violated.
nor is any one who stands faithful to his conscience to be disesteemed therefor by his brethren, even if their consciences view the matter differently.

recent events appear to indicate that the wts has adopted a more aggressive stance toward dissenting views.

serving God for selfish motives
by Richie init's always so heartwarming to receive all your answers and comments in this forum which allows me to put things into proper perspective in that i have returned to a sensible life where i can show real unobstructed love and care to my "worldly" friends now instead of those who only love you conditionally.
if you stay in line with what the borg does and teaches, then all will love you, if not then they'll shun you and the love stops, no matter how long it takes, yes even a lifetime of hurt and shunning.
what is the society trying to prove - of course i know very well that it's purely a matter of control over you otherwise half of all the witnesses in the world would leave the organization!.

FoxNews Less Bias, According to UCLA/Stanford Study II
by Richie inthis is a continuation of a subject which was introduced by thichi, who showed us a brilliant and in-depth report of how the general media shows a heavy liberal bias.
not just a small report or just one viewpoint, but a concerted and unbiased effort toward devising a method of measuring press bias based on the manner how members of congress cite various think tanks in determining which were viewed as conservative or liberal.
this study is extremely credible and unambiguous, unlike the reactions in the previous post by those who who didn?t read the report and just pushed it aside by saying ?would it be biased for the media to quote one report showing one viewpoint if there are hundreds showing the opposite??

Al Jazera puts positive spin on unanimous vote for UN Iraq resolution
by Elsewhere inone of the ways al jazeera creates problems is it will report news in a very skewed manner... basically telling the arab world how to think about certain things.
this time around it gave a more neutral report on the un iraq resolution.
this could be very good for helping to stabilize iraq.. http://english.aljazeera.net/nr/exeres/5b6f8d34-6397-4485-b033-ff7b5e440692.htm .

one more reason to loathe the Society
by Richie intoday i called my daughter who has a 16 month-old son, so see how she is doing etc and at the same time was asking if i could see her and my grandson tomorrow afternoon... she said "why do you want to see us.., don't you know that you're disfellowshipped..you should know better".... well i told her incidentally that i am her father and a grandfather to her son, she responded by saying again that i am df'd and i am not going to the meetings anymore etc etc etc..... i started arguing with her that this was not right and then in the middle of the heated conversation i decided to just hang up on her as i had enough of this abhorrent mindset which is so similar to the bodysnatchers' mentality.... by the way, i was df'd 1 1/2 years ago for the reason that i stopped attending meetings..... i am cut to the heart, but then again after looking inside of me, i am a free man and not involved anymore with an unnatural lifestyle reserved for zombies.... :*) richie.
you are the music as long as the music last...............

how WT directions can destroy lives
by Richie init is true that many persons have been disfellowshipped wrongly, but what is more disturbing is how a person's life could be so totally destroyed.
this reminds me of an incident that happened some years ago where a sister was disfellowshipped for this reason:.
she found out that her witness husband had been having sex with an animal.

Richie exposes motive for shunning
by Marilyn in::::::::::::::::i heard this incident about this elder in europe, i felt a degree of fear and jealousy inside of me.
why did i feel that way?
because indirectly i wished that i had the strength and courage to do the same thing by resigning and walk away from the "truth" and become free from the shackles of religious bondage.
