Jehovah’s Witnesses in the News – Roundup

Jehovah’s Witnesses in the News – Roundup

Comments 1 comment

It’s been a while since I posted on Jehovah’s Witnesses in the news. Here’s a roundup. Refusals of blood transfusions, resulting in death. Sexual predators and child molestation. Mental instability. Violence. Even a possible kidnapping. The usual. I am sure that I’ve missed several additional items, but I’ve become too sad to do more than this today. Jehovah’s Witnesses, you call yourselves “sheep.” If you must have a shepherd, why not seek a more loving one than the harsh caricature…

Yeah, our “beloved leader” is really interested in helping to negotiate peace in the middle east. Isn’t that what his record is all about? Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Crooks and Liars: Looking confused and distracted, the president butchered the names of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas *shock* and even needed guidance on where to stand with the two leaders for a photo op — which was apparently the only reason he attended at all. After…

Earthrise and Earthset over the Moon – wow. These high definition pictures were released November 12, 2007 by the Japanese space agency JAXA. The images were taken by the SELENE probe as it orbited the Moon at a distance of about 62 miles (100 km). These are the world’s first HD images of the Earth – from about 235,000 miles (380,000 km) away in space.

Tori Amos Rocked the Fox

Tori Amos Rocked the Fox

I’ve had the Tori Amos tickets since about an hour after they went on sale. Tori Amos and Kate Bush are my all-time favorites. Two of the Tori Amos “dolls” of her multiple-personality “American Doll Posse” made an appearance at the concert she gave at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Wednesday night. This concert was very different than Tori’s others. Less hypnotic reverie, more hard rock. Evidently the songlist is affected by the selection of the semi-archetypal facets of her…

Paul McCartney Torture Song?

Paul McCartney Torture Song?

Comments 2 comments

The official video for Paul McCartney’s new single “Nod Your Head” reminds me of clapping your hands at a Peter Pan show “if you believe in fairies.” [youtube width=”300″ height=”174″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUktwAjG2y4[/youtube] But listen to it. There is a necrophiliac conformist robot quality to the whole thing. Then I’m picturing a woman tied up, being tortured perhaps – why would someone need to “nod their head” unless they couldn’t speak? I’m picturing some sociopath saying “Yeah, baby, you can’t speak, but if…
