badboy - the reforms take place in april when Jobcentre Plus is launched - the idea is to offer help to people making new claims for working-age benefits ... that means making specialist advice and training and a job available to those who are 'able and want to' work ... it's a positive help pogramme, not a system for beating those who are unable to work - please don't worry friend ...

Social Security and Jws
by badboy ini am a severly disabled adult who receives disability benefits.. i understand sometime ago the watchtower said in one of its magazine(probably watchtower)that a smaller pertentage(sic)of jws claimed the dole in france(this was, i believe during the problems with the french government)as opposed to a higher pertentage(sic)of roman catholic etc etc claiming the dole.. in view of what paul says in one of his letter`he that doesn't work, shall not eat' should jws be claiming the dole if they truly follow the bible.
discuss.. i believe a social security system should provide for the disabled and pensioners.
(i don't think the present uk social security system will survive in its present form with accelerting(sic)costs etc etc)

hey amazing - your millionairres come cheaper than ours
at the current exchange rate - we'd have to have $1,413,599.97 to be a £millionairre
um ... how many euro's is that ?
as for Nazereth's question - i would think not a chance as we all entered there 'in good faith' (sic) and did so with our 'own free will' (more sic) - although amazing's point about those abused is a good one - the borganisation has a 'duty of care' and they have been found wanting ... Matt 25:30

badboy - there's no issue here - our society (eek not 'The Society™') provides for those who are unable to provide for themselves - the issues are where people who could provide, choose not to
i willingly pay my taxes to support genuine claimants :)

McDonalds Prohibited?
by DakotaRed ingiven how the org went after tobacco in the late sixties, resulting in it's total prohibition in the early seventies, based on the health communities claims of how bad it was destroying the body (a claim not disputed by me) and how they made it a disfellowshipping offense to smoke, chew or otherwise use tobacco, i wonder if they will now ban eating at mcdonalds?.
there is a group out there of health professionals (or claimed) that wish to heavily tax mcdonalds and other so called junk food places.
the taxes would be used to treat all the millions of people who are afflicted with the dreaded disease of obesity and to combat the rising costs of treating these poor misguided individuals that have been led astray, thinking they were getting healthy food at the loacl greasy pits.. will the elders start smelling everyone's breath upon entry to the kingdom halls for tell tale signs of mustard and pickles?

oh bum ! i usually buy the guardian on a saturday - but i was working this morning and forgot ! typical !
i'd be interested in how this could be substantiated:
"they hope no one notices that their standard depiction of the onset of Armageddon is a jet plane crashing into a New York skyscraper"does anyone have a reference where this is actually pictured or is this an 'illustrative' use ?

hard to take though isn't it brit ? i can identify with the frustration of wanting so much to get people to listen - i've learned a new coping strategy - that of shrugging my shoulders and accepting that there's some things i just can't change ... sigh ...
