  2. beliefs

  i am new to the site.

  i started perusing it this weekend and wish i had found it 10 years ago when i was on my way out.

  anyways, long story short, was df'd for you guessed it...fornication or "loose conduct" even though i had been a pioneer with an elder father, grandfather and uncle and no previous issues.

  "the better angels of our nature: why violence has declined", steven pinker.. the publicity blurb states:.

  "believe it or not, today we may be living in the most peaceful moment in our species' existence.

  One Day assembly in Arizona- $17,000 !!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i heard from a reliable source that a one-day assembly in arizona last weekend had a "cost" to the publishers of $17,000.. predictably, the elders were nice enough to obligate the attendees to a $6,000 donation to wt before the assembly "costs" (i.e.

  "rent/extortion) were even met.

  $11,000 rent plus $6000 in extra "donations".

  $17000 in Arizona? That's ridiculous by California standards even. How many of them attended? Jumping greenbacks! What did the rent? A Republican convention? That's a years salary for quite a portion of Ari's. population.

  "Keep calm and be a Jehovah's witness", especialy if you get caught engaging in pedophilia. Jehovah will protect you.

  " Keep calm and be a Jehovah's witness," especially when the WBTS has gyped you of all your wealth/property. Jehovah will give it all back to you thousand fold just like he did the poor sucker Job!

  " Keep calm and be a Jehovah's witness", when you are terminally ill and need a blood transfusion- but don't take it. Die instead, and Jehovah will transfuse health into you - after resurrection!

  " Keeep calm and be a Jehovah's witness", even though you know it's all cultic BS. Or you will "no longer be a Jehovah's witness!"

  Keep calm and be a Jehovah's witness", because you have an IQ of 5.And can't tell whether your logic is from your ass, or a braying pack of asanine ass*****! The GB and it's minions.

  some of the friends here have expressed the desire to send a contribution or donation after they have received a document from us.

  while we really appreciate your kindness, we prefer that you send a gift to simon to maintain this board, or to barbara anderson.

  we don't take donations or contributions.. every file we have is free, and we have never had a website to maintain.

  How good a boxer was Muhammad Ali?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. physical

  when i was a hyperactive kid, i used to like boxing, and of course muhammad ali.

  he was a great athlete, with a one-of-a-kind style who made a stand for his beliefs.. now that i'm older, i admire athletes that are quieter and get on with the job in hand - joe frazier, for example.. i'd like to put american racial politics and ali's tragic current condition to one side and focus on the following:.

  how good a fighter was ali?.
