This is all just getting silly

A morning on the bus would not be right if I didn't get angry and today is no exception. It's been reported today that a pensioner has had to remove a sign from her home which reads "Our dogs are fed on Jehovah's Witnesses" because it's "distressing, offensive and inappropriate".

The sign however has been up since 1974, and the complaint was not received froma Jehovah Witness it seems. In fact they commented that that if they see sgns like that they "turn around and walk away" and that it was not in anyway "hurtful". This didn't stop the Police knocking on the pensioners door though and forcing her to remove it because it caused offence.

Now, besides the fact that this is yet another one of those examples of - to use the cliche - political correctness gone mad, you have to ask yourself, if the Police have so little work to do that they are doing this sort of thing why are they not being redployed to areas where real crimes are occuring?

-A heads up on the Jehovah Witness-

There is no Armageddon that will annihilate 6.5 billion people,and install Watchtower leaders as world rulers.

The core dogma of the Watchtower organization is that Jesus had his second coming 'invisibly' in the year 1914.Their entire doctrinal superstructure is built on this falsehood.

Jehovah's Witnesses door to door recruitment is by their own admission an ineffective tactic. They have lost membership in all countries with major Internet access because their false doctrines and harmful practices are exposed on the modern information superhighway.

There is good and valid reasons why there is such an outrage against the Watchtower for misleading millions of followers.Many have invested everything in the 'imminent' apocalyptic promises of the Jehovah's Witnesses and have died broken and beaten.

Every Jehovah's Witness member will grow old and die just like everyone else.
