African American men statistically have a higher probability for heart disease, diabetes mellitus type two, and prostrate cancer. At his advance age I place a bet on Herd.

there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.
if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.
when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.
For me was the realization that this religion had hierarchy just like all other religions. When Elder wives and children are allowed special privileges (such as access to rooms at assembly halls or knowing private information, or being allowed to get away with things others can't) that I knew this religion was no different.
Interestingly I figured this all out at age 15 on the very day I was baptized and left by age 18. Later I learned the rest about the religion on this site.
if you've never come across the above title before, it's considered to be the shortest novel possible.
a story, possibly a moving one, in just 6 words attributed to earnest hemingway.. it started a genre called "flash fiction" which is a memoir in six-words.. what would yours be?.

Also big distinction are Canadians favorite pastime is touting how much better they are than Americans. Then claiming they don't brag like those uncouth Americans.
I love the sweeping generalizations of Americans by Canadians. You do know that there are millions upon millions of Mexican Americans and I doubt they complain about their relatives south of the border. My wife is an American and is from Cebu. I'm an American and my grandmother from my father's side and grandfather from my mother's side are Blackfoot Indians. USA is a true melting pot and isn't homogeneous as so many Canadians like to claim.
so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.
the un membership.
the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.
I left before finding out about all the scandals and lies. I mainly left because of the hypocrisy and condescending judgmental attitudes of the typical witness.
When I visited this site and learned the real truth behind the organization I was a little sadden. I will admit I had some hope their was a magical truth out there and that I didn't waste a good portion of my childhood. But now I'm thankful I woke up in my late teens. So many here gave up 40, 50, and even more years of their life. I have no room to complain compared to most of you.
i say take care of the needy ones first like our veterans and homeless and mentally ill, and then....take care of those not from this country.
so, here's some news from my country.
there was this 20 year old jw girl who was a rookie driver.
she was in the car with her parents and for some reason decided to cross a railroad right before a train was coming.
welcome to canada from one immigrant to another !.
calgary is welcoming it's first refugees from syria and iraq so tomorrow i'm going to take all the winter clothing that we have and donate it to a women / children's charity.
it's not much (well, actually, it's a huge pile ... everything from when we first moved over!
I think it is good thing to help refugees and those that are fleeing persecution. America has a long history of accepting refugees accepting millions in the last century. I hope the fear will fade and our country will admit more than the 1,500 Syrians it has already accepted.
Not sure that incendiary comments are going to sway anyone to your position. You just come off as smug.
