More Buddhists than baptists (and Jws)
by singsongboi inthe results of australia's last census were released yesterday:.
the figures indicated a continuing decline in bible based religions, especially the anglicans and the uniting church.. and most spectacular was the growth of those who said they were buddhists.
at the last census (1996) just under 200,000 identified as buddhists.. now, 360,000 say they follow buddha compared to 310,000 who claim to be baptists.. and interestingly, there were 83,993 jews, which contrasts with 95,473 hindus.. islam had 281,578 followers.. the jws- well!

Compare-the WTS & the Chinese Communists
by singsongboi ini have a long time interest in china -- and continual amazement at the similarities between the way the wts presents it's propaganda and the way theat the chinese communists do it....... last sunday, in beijing, a fire in an internet cafe killed 24 people - there was a swift response from the "leadership" -- all 2200 internet cafes in beijing were closed as a result.
just like politicians in the west, this was clearly a knee-jerk response by beijing leaders, as they tried to make sure that they could not be blamed for poor supervision of the growth of these places.. but the really interesting thing, is the way that the state owned media jumped on the bandwagon and the language they used..... .
"don't let the internet bars destroy kids" - headline in the people's daily.. .
