this is not really anything new, but every time i see one of these articles about earth like planets in habitable zones, i can't help but hear he echo of past indoctrination at wt studies etc saying "oh how unique earth is to be placed where it is blah blah blah impossible odds".

Great, you are ready to join the rank os ISIS. It's exactly what they say when they kill!

The WTS has always been an apostate goat disguised to look like it was the true Shepard for all mankind.

Isn't the teaching of the "faithful and discreet slave" a type/anti-type??
Yes...typically!
They are clearly, lately doctrinaly, shooting a lot a bullet in their feet,
in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).
house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.
I watch the US version of Shameless (Showtime)

Going for 10 minutes...wish me luck.

last week we had an elder giving a talk, cant remember the title.. the thing that was of interest is the experience he gave:.

"A brother who was working in a hospital had to leave his job which was paying him good money because the nurses wanted to sleep with him and they kept putting notes for him on his desk!"
I think it's the more stupid justification of leaving a job I never read. because a girl put sexy notes on his desk ! Who can believe this story ?
