We'll write Simon in and place him in the Whig Party
Bush is only making up lost time. Clinton spent his years bending over backwards to every nation he could. I say send us Gore and we'll defeat him again and again.

Who has the best chance of defeating Bush in '04?
by badwillie ini will be backing former vermont gov howard dean to run in '04.
my reason: clinton was quoted recently as saying that "strong and wrong always beats weak and right".
i remember during the run up to election in 2000 watching the bush vs. gore debates and thinking..i know gore is smarter but he comes across as weaker in debate.

How can he be pissed off?
I go to the Happy Hour 'Bible Study' every Friday from 5-7 (free food) down at the corner pub
AND I live near the Tower of Babble/Bethel...Watchtower...whatever
Hummm.. Maybe I have to rethink my life and search for the Truth
OH YEA...I AM!
THANKS!

Is Saudi Arabia being set-up?
by Stan Conroy incheck this out:.
apparently a new report about 9/11 is coming out in which the us admits to errors in it's previous findings, and sets it's sights on saudi arabia as a factor in the attacks.. so lets just recap the last couple of years.... first it was afganistan's fault.
invade.. then iraq was somehow involved, even though there was no proof.

Been to Saudi and I have a hard time believing they're 'being set-up' for something they didn't do. Sure they hate us being in their country for yeaars, however they've been making a MINT from the US gov from car rentals to villas to house the international troops. The prices for everything there is so jacked up for the gov. and yet we're protecting their skies.... go figure.

Tammy - Excellent POST! I just went ont he Watchtower.org site and they don't have an interactive message board... hummmmmmmmmm I wonder why? Media attention is ALWAYS a good way to get their attention. A simple media campaign (local news ie: local Christian Group harassing citizens esp. if there's a group of you in the same area with the same problem) may blow their intentions off the map. I've worked in PR for the military for 9 years and have seen stuff like this spin all around.
Deb - It's former JW's like you (who have pulled their families out) who 'they' are afraid of. Keep fighting!

Jehovah Launches Solo Career
by czarofmischief in2 months after breakup with group, deity starts anew.. two months after bitterly breaking up with the group jehovah's witnesses, jehovah god has announced the launch of his new solo effort.
at a press conference in pittsburgh, the historical launching pad for his previous religious affiliation, jehovah seemed relaxed and happy as he puffed on an illegaly imported cuban cigar and discussed his marketing strategy.. wearing a snowy white t-shirt and a modest crown of eternal fire, radiating holiness, purity, and joie de vivre, jehovah wowed reporters with his wit and sincerity.
the back of crazy mocha coffee shop in the bloomfield section of town rang loud with laughter and the occasional salvation of a weary sinner.. "that's strictly for effect, you know," said the supreme being, watching a newly converted member of his solo effort roll on the floor.

MY JC - I AM SO SICK
by rebel ini have never tried to hurt anyone in my life.
i have always tried to love others from my own childhood upbringing.. i have been treated like a traitor.
everything i said was twisted.

Sigh...Rebel....I'm so sorry the JC wasn't what you expected. I was in the chat when you announced it and know you still have family. This must make life difficult for you all. It's always easier to remember the bad, but try not to and keep in mind how STRONG you really are. You faced them and will never ever have to do that again. This is a man's religion, full of holes. It's time to heal. Wondering.....why are they so afraid of you? Whatever the reason, don't let that go because they are afraid. Prayers are with you

Which way will the Society go because of the Internet?
by be wise ini've only learned the truth about this society over the last 5 months or so, so i'm not sure what the difference is to say - 2 years ago.
do you think the society will now get even more cultish in it's methods of teaching and more heavy handed if they feel things are slipping?
i don't feel i'm being over the top here because i've experienced very heavy handed talks at the assemblies and kingdom hall in the past that are just plain scare tactics but this just makes people ask more questions ??

But didn't they 'discover' the internet?
Are there any Spanish-speaking Sites or Boards for threads? Is there any interest?
Maybe the biggest way to counteract the JW is to educate the public. Honestly, many people think JW's are harmless people who dress alike and enjoy studying the Bible. Just because they aren't wearing sheets and handing out flowers at the airport doesn't make them a cult. However there are VERY few ministers and laypersons willing to educate themselves on this group, which is a huge dis-service to the population as a whole. Sorry for the babbling........

Did anything a householder said ever make an impression on you?
by Alleymom incoming at this as a householder rather than an ex-jw, i'd love to hear from any of you about comments from householders that made an impression on you, back when you were active in the door-to-door work.
since the jw's first knocked at my door 13 years ago, i've done my best to give them something to think about every time they knock at my door.
i always introduce myself by name and try to get their names.

ALL - Keep it coming! Living in the military, I've basically been on a Fort or Base for the past 8 years and in a way can't wait to see who comes knocking on my door. My parents usually give me their best lines Trinity, woe's, the Cross, worldly aspirations etc...(which were all just fine for them before retiring from their jobs and 'finding the truth') 2300?

Love this thread! 1st Concert Summer 1987, Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia PA - we drank warm Piels Beer enroute to the Monsters of Rock Tour (Metallica, Scorpians, Van Hagar, and a ton of other ballad long hair men who thought they could play a good guitar).
After that - Hall & Oats then I got selective Luther Vandross, Sinbad & Living Color / Rolling Stones Steel Wheels / David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust / Janet Jackson / Rod Stewart / Billy Joel & Elton John (MOST EXCELLENT SHOW) / Pink Floyd (floor seats) / Bush / Santana / Boys to Men / Hord Fest ('95 in NM inc. Rusted Root, Blues Travelers) / 3rd Eye Blind / Jimmy Buffett ('00 VA) and finally a Benifit Concert in Madison Square Garden which included Cheryl Crow, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, John Cougar Melloncamp, Brian Wilson & the Beach Boys and Sting (sureal we're on the floor with a bunch of 50 somethings watching the waiters bring champaigne-NO SMOKING - and very few lighters went in the air - amazing talent amazing show).
Over Mothers Day Jewel was playing for free in Central Park - took the baby to her first show. Upcoming baby shows this summer include ABBA and Earth, Wind & Fire. Thinking of taking her to see Dave Matthews.
Did anyone see Detroit Rock City?

“Those who avoid the internet will increasingly be marginalized - as window washers and gas station bathroom cleaners who shield their own view of an amazing world that's passing them by.”
Great Point – hence the increase of JW numbers in these types of economic lifestyles?! I was wondering why my parents were concentrating so hard on the Mennonite population…hummmmmmmm What gets me is how are 'educated' people falling for this?
Question – are ‘they’ using the Internet as another case for being part of the ‘World’? I know of a few JW’s going to College this year, however they still live at home etc…anyway I really hope to see a generation gap in the coming years.
