hey folks .
im not trying to offend anybody , im just trying to find out what you guys really think about bin laden.
of course there are the obvious things to count against him ;- the fact that he probably murdered thousands of people on september 11th , and maybe even before then.

just been looking at e-watchman's mailbag (a bit one sided to say the least.........), and there was a question from a girl who is studying with someone else who she's fallen in love with.
it seems that she's been told that they can't date until they've both been baptized - so she asked the e-watchman his advice.
the first sentence of his reply was "the elders in the congregation don't really have authority over those who are not part of the congregation".

I've never read anything about the elders having authority over anything in this system of things other than the activities of the congregations.
It is my feeling that it was simply his opinion on the matter.

As we are westerners ourselves RUBADUB its obvious where we would feel the most safe. Im sure that a group of Saudi's in a room full of Americans wouldn't feel that safe.
I'll take your point on the room full of Americans and Saudis.
Who is more likely to be the suicide bomber and kill everyone in the room, an American or Saudi ???

I really can't think of a predominantly Moslem country that comes to mind that is "moral" and would be a place I would want my family to live.
Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan, Sudan, and the list goes on. Since they are nearly 100% Moslem, you would expect them to be examples to the West.
I can think of a lot of peaceful and moderate Western countries that I feel are far more moral than those that practice Islam.
Would you feel safer in a room full of Swedes or Iranians ?????

while i certainly don't agree with jw doctrine, neither do i condone such activity.

I do apologize if you felt I was in any way attacking your character. I was simply concerned about the medication.
But based on the circumstances and tone of comments, it would be safe to take an extra white pill today. Just don't drive a car or operate heavy machinery.

an inactive friend just spoke to some elders who, not from the platform but one-on-one, said they believe the coming war with iraq will cause world war iii and armageddon.
has anyone else heard this?
it may be that some are using this as a tactic to scare inactives back into the watchtower society along with their needed donations, especially since the pedophile and wts-u.n. scandals.
I thought it's coming when they are saying "Peace and Security?"

vandals fire shots at jehovah's witness hall
dade city -- vandals fired shots early saturday at the kingdom hall of jehovah's witnesses, 14838 ramsey road, causing $6,600 worth of damage to the building.
neighbors told pasco county sheriff's deputies they were awakened twice, about 2 a.m. and again at 5:20 a.m., by gunshots coming from the grounds.
The Redneck thing really gives me the creeps.
I keep thinking about the movie Deliverance with Burt Reynolds. When I hear "Redneck," I think of the scene where the old guy without teeth has Ned Beaty on the ground in front of him, pulls down his zipper and says, "you got a pretty mouth, boy."
Chills go down my spine.

out of all the wrong things the watchtower society has taught, which do you feel are the worst?
I think the worst thing the Society has taught is the "one towel rule" at Assemblies.

when we were in the org, we had to watch our language, and speak correctly and never swear.
people knew we were jw's just by the way we dressed, but also by the way we talked.
do you still talk in the same polite way as before?edited by - jh on 4 february 2003 19:29:28.
Pardon my language but I sometimes do say "poop."
When I get really upset I say "pig poop."
