would any of us defend the right of a medicine manufacturer to advertise curative powers without side effects when evidence to the contrary was indicated?.

would any of us defend the right of a pharmacist to make up his own prescriptions and pass it off as what our physician specifically gave to us?.

would any of us approve equal time for tv advertisers to promote products as effective which had repeatedly proved to be dangerous?.

My 8 year old daughter tells me she is an atheist...???

so since we have not been to a meeting in 6 months or so, i decided to ask my daughter (on the way home from cheerleading practice - yeah i can't believe i am letting her engage in such a worldly activity lol) if she misses going to the kingdom hall.

she says sometimes because she can't see her friend - but she has made new friends so it doesn't bother her too much.

so i ask her, "well, what about learning about jehovah?

apparently this has become a big deal in some segments of the media.

the "cute" girls have been fired from their real life jobs because thier companies did not want to be associated with such speech.

alot of people are sating that they think the two things have nothing to do with one another, while many are very upset over this.. .

since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.

shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.
