  Right click on desktop

  Go to "screen resolution"

  the fix should be in there

  *oh. I just read your post again. Is it just Word that is upside down?

  if it's just word...try this

  1. Right-click the text box and choose Format Shape.
  2. Choose 3-D Rotation in the left pane.
  3. Change the X setting to 180.
  4. Click OK, and Word flips the text in the text box, producing a mirror image. You can create an upside-down mirror image by changing the Y setting to 180.

  Sexist article about construction

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/construction/women-in-construction/.

  it's all about women being trained to operate heavy equipment, like it's a miracle.

  they quote the male foreman, but don't tell you that only men are allowed to be foreman.

  TRUE SCRIPTURE EXISTS, A LIVING ONE

  by venus in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i find three categories of people according to the way they display their human qualities—(1) more than humans, (2) less than humans and (3) mixed in those qualities in varying degrees.. when i observe how they are all faring with their choices, it tells me what i should do and what i should not do.

  hence my scripture is the mankind and letters are living human beings—present and past.

  though it is not possible to see beyond an individual’s birth, i can see the history of nations (collective individuals) beyond their present generation into their past, through many generations which shows how their past deeds contributed to their present reality.

  Yes, Poopie, there is data on women who kill their spouses and their children.

  There are several academic papers written about that very subject. However, it is a field of study that is under represented quite simply because women do not kill their family as often as men do. But, when women do kill, it is most often their own children.

  This is a book you may find interesting:

  https://www.amazon.ca/Women-Who-Kill-Ann-Jones/dp/1558616071

  And this study includes stats on women as well as men:

  dozy: it has kind of morphed into something of an advertorial with annual invitation "campaigns" and a 30 hour pioneer month to encourage distribution.

  Yeah. It is the org's "volunteer campaigning" that is allowed under charity law.

  The Memorial is a "fundraising" event

  carla: Weird that they celebrate the death of Christ and at the same time people are getting fliers in the mail (postage paid by the churches) to come to their celebrations of the Resurrection of Christ.

  I noticed this a few years ago. I thought it was odd. But not really considering the source.

  The JWs are the only (or one of few) "Christian" group that celebrate the death of Christ but don't celebrate his resurrection like other Christian religions do.

  JWs have a strange relationship with death. They don't understand death, and because of that, they don't understand life.

  The one and only celebration that the JWs are allowed to participate in and that celebration is a celebration of...death. Celebrating dying.

  I guess that comes in handy when the org requires their followers to lay down their life for the blood doctrine. Jesus died so they can too. Only thing is, Jesus was supposed to shed his blood so all could live - he gave his blood but the JWs won't give theirs so others can live.

  The memorial is all about death and dying, not about living. The r&f JW is denied the right to share in Jesus' resurrection.

  So, I guess it makes sense in a WT kind of way - don't drink the wine or eat the bread. Don't celebrate the resurrection of Christ - celebrate death.

  Gio: There is usually some kind of derangement taking place some level of hostility perhaps schizophrenia or bi-polar issues.

  You forgot post-partum depression and the hormonal imbalance of menopause.

  I think that infanticide (and familicide) is actually the most common form of murder committed by women. And often, the suspected cause of such action is post-partum depression, which, if left untreated, can last for months if not years

  What is the purpose of this activity? What is the message? What will children be encouraged to think about when they connect these dots?

  How many nightmares will this image instill in the minds of the children who connect these dots? What are the dots being connected in the children's brains?

  my husband just realized that our trip out of town to see lots of extended family members is over the saturday of the memorial.

  he looked all disappointed.

  (in light of his recent behaviors this kind of surprised me).

  Nonnie, it is just a habit.

  Your husband is an addict. He thinks he needs to get his fix.

  That's all. Don't sweat it. Just remind him to quit chewing his nails.
