So ... Russia and Nato at war? Should we be worried?
by Simon in

it seems unbelievable but turkey (a nato member state) shooting down a russian jet fighter on their syrian border seems to be "meh" news and no one is too bothered about it too much.. the world seems a bit upside down right now.

i don't think a lot of countries really know who the hell they are fighting and who is and isn't on their side in it all and really what is going on.. smaller incidents than this have led to major conflicts in the past but hopefully calm heads will prevail.

china shot down a us spy plane years ago and the world survived and forgot about it so things will move on i'm sure.. i'm guessing the price turkey pays for their gas supply from russia will be going up soon though.. man, that republican primary is sucking all the news attention from the room.

No 'Tight Pants' policy is now official - classed as 'disturbing'
by wizzstick in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
in short:- tight pants is no longer just a am3 hang up (or is that a hang up on the well hung?

)- brothers who have effeminate body language are flagged up- as are sisters with 'masculine' hair styles or dress- such dress is 'disturbing to the congregation'- the above must heed the (repeated) counsel from the elders...or they get stripped of the right to share on the ministry- however...this will not be revealed (announced) to the congregation.

wow.

The Watchtower Society is confused over its “Seventy Years” and "Seven Times"
by Doug Mason in
1. watchtower
2. bible
until now, the watch tower society [wts] has argued that the 70 years was a period during which judah was totally and completely depopulated.

for this reason, it constantly argued that the period commenced when the jews left judah and entered egypt.

jerusalem was destroyed in the fifth month (two months before october/tishri).

Poster country flags and privacy
by Simon in
1. forum
2. announcements
the new forum originally had a little country flag next to each post showing the country that the post was made from based on the geoip encoding (the country the ip address is from).

before i switched over to the new site someone made an issue about it violating their privacy and i didn't want to complicate and confuse the switchover with policy debate at the same time as technical issues so removed the flags even though i disagreed.. someone has already requested it as a feature and i think it should be added back so i thought it's now time to open the discussion and get everyone's opinions.

first, the reason i think it should be shown:.

what DO current Jws say at doors?
by sowhatnow in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i mean, anyone with a real bible and half a brain doesn't need to log onto a website and read nonsense.. its not a bible study when you present someone a book or magazine to read along in.. its not the gospel, when its not about jesus.

so what is being pushed in the service meeting to be done at doors?.

and with what result expected?

the earth's magnetic field is in a weakening stage right now.

data collected this summer by a european space agency (esa) satellite suggests the field is weakening 10 times faster than scientists originally thought.

if the magnetic field weakens enough, then the earth could be hit with dangerous amounts of solar radiation and cosmic rays .....
