The Over-Commercialization of Christmas
by SanFranciscoJim inis anyone else on here as disgusted as i am that right after halloween we are assaulted with an unending barrage of television commercials advertising christmas this and christmas that?.
when i was a kid, it was unthinkable to advertise anything about christmas before thanksgiving.. nowadays, these smiley-faced rosy-cheeked actors are hawking their christmas wares to the point where it has become nauseating!
it's easy to read between the lines -- what they're really saying is: (on their knees with hands clasped) "please, please buy our products!

276,483 years from now.....
by SanFranciscoJim injehovah's witnesses are taught that they will live "forever" on paradise earth.. let's say the year is 278,486 (assuming armageddon occurred in 2003).
the millenium has passed, everyone has been resurrected, and earth has become the true paradise the jws predicted.. only one problem: you've done everything there is to do.
you've gone every place on earth there is to go.

Fake Jehovah's Witnesses
by SanFranciscoJim inthe wtbts continues to fight courtroom battles demanding freedom for jws to go about their house to house proselytizing unhindered.. i recently heard about a case where a young couple called at the house of an elderly woman somewhere in europe (not sure where), posing as jehovah's witnesses.
they returned to the home later that same night and burgularized it.. while i do not believe that jws should be hindered from the preaching work (free speech and all that), i do believe that they should be made to register with local or state agencies which regulate door to door solicitation.
furthermore, they should be required to carry identification (or better yet, wear a government-issued name tag) identifying them as a genuine jehovah's witness.
