George Bush on "Meet the Press"
by RubaDub inwow.... .
i'm surprised by the lack of comment on bush's appearance on the show "meet the press.".
i was expecting the conserveatives to be praising his rousing comments in the interview.

Sending "Love" from the Platform
by RubaDub ini have never been able to understand the "the brothers from xyz cogregation are sending their love" at the end of a public talk.. it always seemed to occur when the speaker was from a far-away place.
then, we all have to clap when he rhetorically asks "do you want to send our love to them?".
they never seem to do it when it is a near-by congregation .. only one far away.

Naming Your Child JESUS
by RubaDub inhaving grown up in the borg, i cannot recall anyone naming their child jesus.
biblical names are commonly used by jw's but not jesus which is a very common name amoung latinos (hispanics).. does anyone know of a family in the borg that named their son jesus ?

Standing up for National Anthem / Judges
by RubaDub indo others here feel that the prohibition about standing for the national anthem lacks any basis in logic whatsoever??
having been raised in the borg, this is one issue that i never understood.. the argument has always been that standing up indicated "worship" of the country, the same as saluting the flag (i'm not discussing the flag salute issue here, just the "standing" issue).. however, if you stand up when required for a person, i.e.
a judge in court, it is ok to stand because it is simply showing respect.

JW's Mentioned on Hannity and Colmes
by RubaDub ini hope i'm not repeating another thread, but i was listening to hannity and colmes on fox last night (thursday) and they mentioned a law suit (in washington state i think) filed by a woman to keep the word "christmas" in the holiday songs.. hannity said this resulted from several jw families that requested that the words be changed so their children could participate and sing the holiday songs.
the school made the changes and now apparently at least one mother wants the original words put back in.. .
one of the issues she brought up was that the word hannukah was not removed, only christmas.. .

JW's .... why AREN'T we more like JEWS ???
by RubaDub ini never got a good answer on this question and have discussed this with other members in the borg:.
we jw's share a lot in common with jews.
just in this century, both groups have suffered extreme persecution, especially under the nazis in europe.
