"the 1910-13 Scott Antarctic Expedition" So close to 1914, it must be more proof we need that the 'end is near'. These satanic seals and penguins will be destroyed very soon. You can count on that.

6Dirty penguins and filthy seals
by konceptual99 ini had never come across this research into sexually depraved penguins ..... http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jun/09/sex-depravity-penguins-scott-antarctic.
...until i saw this about what some seals get up to.... http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/seals-caught-having-sex-penguins.
maybe it's something they learnt on their long journey back from the ark?.

Lets list everything that has pagan origins!!
by song19 ini have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.
theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .
we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

Jdubbed, it's the same with the satanic government we have. It's all horrible until it's time to sign up for food stamps, welfare, or whatever else they can get their hands on.

You can put the WT in your will...
by Raton inthis is probably all old news to most but i found it interesting.
i was trying to find the website that has all the boes and in my yahoo search these showed up and i checked them out.
there are probably better lines than the ones i picked out but if interested check them out.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202012206#h=0:0-3:583 "a trustee or executor should be aware that whether the estate is large or small, liberties should not be taken with the assets.

Any bequests to a legal entity used by Jehovah’s Witnesses are dedicated funds that belong to Jehovah’s organization.—Luke 16:10; 21:1-4."
I still find amusement when they just toss a bible verse after something they say. I guess the average person doesn't actually look up the verse so they walk away thinking that the bible actually says for trustees to not screw over the WT.
http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2005807#h=60:0-60:250 "Gift Annuity: A gift annuity is an arrangement whereby one transfers money or securities to a designated corporation that is used by Jehovah’s Witnesses."
I have donated money to several organizations including churches. I don't think I ever recall any of them calling themselves a corporation. I guess legally that's what many are but especially when talking about a church, how many say 'donate to a corporation that used by us'.
This article also goes on to say how all the money is used. All of it is only used inside of the WT. From a quick read it looks like zero money went to helping anyone else like the hungry or any number of other community service projects that most other churches are involved in.

Ongoing frustration with wife
by Flipping El ini've tried taking the slow, patient approach with my wife.
i believe i first posted here about 13 months ago about my wife.. we've always had good communication and could talk endlessly about philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and then when i learned the ttatt, i clammed up a bit about spiritual things.
i'd always been fairly liberal, suggesting other alternative ideas, but then i told my wife about the un/ngo scandal (i ran across the guardian story doing a talk as an ms, lol!

"By the way, I have had moderate success with improving non-JW things in the marriage after reading the book "No More Mr. Nice Guy". Here's the PDF as a preview (you can buy on Amazon too):"
I added it to my wish list. I may check it out when I order some other things for Christmas. Thanks.

'She casually brings up divorce' That's the stage my wife is in right now. She wants a divorce but wants me to pull the trigger. Although, that was after a call she made to her mother basically asking for permission to divorce me. I am trying to hold it together myself and work on all the non JW things in our marriage, which really is most of the things. However, as WingCommander pointed out, she seems to be 'self-sabotaging' the marriage. In addition to mentioning divorce she won't talk to me most the time and when she does it's normally to get on to me about something. If my daugher wasn't around I would probably not hang in there to much longer, but she is, so I am trying to make it work. Sorry there wasn't really any advice here but you aren't alone. Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

JW's donations going to sexual abuse cases?
by Ginx ini read somewhere on the internet (don't recall what site it was) that jw's donations are going towards sexual abuse cases.. is this true?.
where can i find solid evidence regarding this matter?.
.

So, what some would say is that donations don't go to sexual abuse cases but donations do go to sexual abuse insurance?

Oh Irony of ironies: Googling for a problem caused by the WT and getting a solution from JW.org :-(
by BluePill2 ini have to share this with you.. after leaving the borg i had to concentrate to solve so many personal problems (financial, child custody, etc.
) that it left me with a poor social life.
i just didn't have the nerve/time to make new friends.

Sure enough. Second listing for me too. Sort of funny/ironic that it shows up. Thanks for sharing this.

Blood, the US Army, the US Navy and the Watchtower Society
by OrphanCrow inthe watchtower society blood doctrine is intricately linked to clinical trials in blood technology.
the wts deliberately changes and manipulates the blood doctrine in order to fill the requirements for medical testing in the field of blood technology.
it has been happening since the start of the blood ban and has continued for the last 70 years, leaving untold numbers of dead and maimed jws in the wake of the societys quest for everlasting life here on earth.. .

"Volume expanders had been developed back in the 60s by using JW subjects in research facillitated by the Army. (yes...I can back that up...I have the study that shows that...)"
I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I really enjoyed 'Enterprise' and wished it lasted a little longer. You could try watching them all starting with the ones that came out first.
