Dish Network v. Direct TV

due to cable rates going up, again, we have decided on getting a dish.

my mother in law has direct tv and a friend has dish network.

they appear very similar to me.

Thanks for your input guys! I appreciate it. It sounds as if they are pretty much the same. I guess now it all boils down to who's going to give me the best deal on installation and extras like multiple rooms and a DVR.

Went on a Bethel Tour on a bus from Arkansas to NYC in the early 90's. I had a lot of fun being with my friends, but the other JW's were way too annoying. One older brother from the Texarkana area told the lady who organized the tour, "The only way I'm getting back on that bus to go home is if Jehovah God Himself tells me to!" He flew back home.

Is it wrong to get drunk on purpose????????????? Just a poll , to see.....

well is it wrong to go out and plan on getting drunk,,,,,,tipsy,,,,,,,,,,,mellow,,,,,,,,,or "merry in heart" as the bible puts it??????

i know that some people have addiction problems with alcohol and i dont mean to offend anyone,,,,,but there are alot of folks who on a weekend here and there, drink and just let loose.

i , for one know that if you have a problem with alcohol this is a totally different subject .
CountryGuy

I don't think it's ever a healthy thing to get drunk but sometimes having fun with friends and such it's easy to get carried away . I don't think you will go to hell like many baptists would try to convince you of . cheers .

That reminds me that there are three religious truths in the world.
Truth #1) The Pope is recognized as the head of the Catholic Church.
Truth #2) Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Truth #3) Baptists do not recognize each other at the Liquor Store or at Hooters.

Why does it have to be gay "marriage?"
by spiritwalker in
1. jw
2. friends
i know this a hot topic, but i had some thinking on it i wanted to discuss.

to begin, i have nothing against a gay man or lesbian woman and consider many to be friends.

i would also like to express from the beginning in plain thought, "i think gay unions should be legal and do not see why it matters.".
CountryGuy

The thread doesn't offend me. I understand why it's here (the media is also obsessed with it). But it is the usual ping pong of ideas and for those whose arguement is religiously based there's rarely any room for movement.

I wasn't going to post on this thread because I find that I've only been posting on the "Gay Threads." There's alot more to me than who I sleep with, but I had to comment. Especially after Shamus' posts.
I'm with you Scotsman. This thread doesn't offend me, either. It has disappointed me that the same sad arguments keep coming up. (Gay marriage = incest/polygamous marriage) BUT! And, that's a big BUT! I think it is necessary for society to discuss these issues.
Sorry, Shamus. I think it is very important for exJWs to discuss them as well. Many of us have abandonded our entire belief system. We are restructuring, replacing, our old JW beliefs. This board has helped so many people get their life back together after the JWs. This board and it's topics are a good foundation for our new belief system. If this topic is not discussed, then some on the board may keep the JW view of gays.
