  hi J.C.

  Thank you very much for this good post.it is truly amazing how wt on one hand criticise catholic church that it does not stand to scrutiny yet there own words condemn them.

  regarding all that dates and calculating times that wt does, do you think society took into consideration the fact that according to jewish calculation of time every 3,6,8,11,14,17 and 19th year one month would be added for each year in every 19th period.that would add some extra years wouldn`t it?

  please do not mind me asking do you know where did society find that there was" two years before entry of sin"? it is amazing how they come up with some statement and then they just add " convincing evidence" and many of us would accept without questioning.

  thank you again.

  Of Posting, Children and Other Things

  in the light of day, and over a nice cup of tea, sanity returns.

  the problems which once seemed so big are reduced to their correct proportions, and i am left feeling more than a little embarassed over my role in the events of the past 24 hours.

  i didn't realize i had a drama queen buried inside waiting to be activated.

  has anyone seen this movie?

  it's a few years old, early 1999. it has bruce willis, denzel washington and annette bening.. .

  an attack on fbi headquarters brings a state of martial law to nyc; the military is called in to police the city.

  hi starfish,

  I `ve seen the movie and it made me think how everyday we walk a fine line in relationship with other people and how quickly some things can change. it is understandable for governments to act when there is either outside or inside treat, but how to avoid taking exclusive power and preventing human abuse is different thing.and human rights abuse will always be result in bigger or lesser degree, because wery often we act out of fear and not having all the facts.

  where I lived before we had to deal with national groups who were pretty hostile towards us and we always felt treatened.action was demanded from our government and they did act, but according to world comunity that action was deemed to harsh so at the end my country was punished and not the real bad guys.what is so sad is that after any kind of intervention like this all the trust between people is gone; they may be forced to live in peace but they will always hold the grudge against each other.

  so I guess it all goes with how much power authorities are given and how they use that power.

  vivamus,

  just curious, what made you choose that subject to read? I am interested because some of my relatives were killed in camps in Jasenovac and Stara Gradiska?

  thanks.

  2. friends

  when i was a jw a was lucky enough to be in a hall with a "click" you know the type.

  they all hung out together.

  went to quickbuilds together and ensured that they were the ones with power in the hall.. i remember trying to join the quickbuild team as a 14 year old, only to be asked by the elder in charge of it (and allso in charge of the click), what building qualifications i had!.

  always on the" fringes of the congregation",always with a feeling that becuse we are immigrants we, somehow are less important and not worthy of being invited, yet those ones who looked down upon us never refused free meals when we invite them over on sundays after the meeting.
