wow, i can remember reading some of the original research in 98. kinda lost track of it over time, neat to see how far it's progressed.
ain't it 'down' to australia ? ... heehee ...
my brother-in-law is graduating today, and i just wanted to tell you guys how proud i am of him.
he's overcome learning disabilities to be one of the top in his class.
he was on the honor roll the entire year, and he stood up for himself when it came time to decide between the whims of his parents and his personal honor.. he dealt with emotional and physical abuse from his parents.
hey ashitaka - sounds like your brother-in-law isn't the only one who deserves a pat on the back - you must be a great and supportive family to him
shunning: .
the illusion of power to a powerless person is a drug.
but the son, because he was not baptized, was not disfellowshipped.
ty dogpatch - i like the idea of looking at shunning as a tool to releasing people from the tyranny of the borg - a pox on them all ...
the results of australia's last census were released yesterday:.
the figures indicated a continuing decline in bible based religions, especially the anglicans and the uniting church.. and most spectacular was the growth of those who said they were buddhists.
at the last census (1996) just under 200,000 identified as buddhists.. now, 360,000 say they follow buddha compared to 310,000 who claim to be baptists.. and interestingly, there were 83,993 jews, which contrasts with 95,473 hindus.. islam had 281,578 followers.. the jws- well!
hey sing - was the census conducted before the internet-spread 'register your religion as a jedi-knight' campaign that was successful here in the uk ?
i have a long time interest in china -- and continual amazement at the similarities between the way the wts presents it's propaganda and the way theat the chinese communists do it....... last sunday, in beijing, a fire in an internet cafe killed 24 people - there was a swift response from the "leadership" -- all 2200 internet cafes in beijing were closed as a result.
just like politicians in the west, this was clearly a knee-jerk response by beijing leaders, as they tried to make sure that they could not be blamed for poor supervision of the growth of these places.. but the really interesting thing, is the way that the state owned media jumped on the bandwagon and the language they used..... .
"don't let the internet bars destroy kids" - headline in the people's daily.. .
refiners ... eek ... old mao had a few things to say didn't he ?
Some comrades in the army have become arrogant and high-handed in their behaviour towards the soldiers, the people, the government and the Party, always blaming the comrades doing local work but never themselves, always seeing their own achievements but never their own shortcomings, and always welcoming flattery but never criticism.... the army must endeavour to eradicate these faults.
"Get Organized!" (November 29, 1943), Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 159.*
this is all too freaky for me ... was it mao who wrote the 'organised' book then huh ?
ok, i have a question.. jesus said we should 'keep doing this in rememberance of me'.
and paul says 'until he arrives'.
hasn't jesus already arrived according to jw's in 1914. so shouldn't the celebration of the memorial have ceased as of this date?.
did he also say you should invite along a whole bunch of nosey parkers to drop flakes of skin all over the food and turn their noses up at it ?
.
..if the usa win their next 3 world cup games, and england win their next 2 games, then the usa and england will meet in the final to decide who will win the world cup?.
if that happens, unlikely as it is that the usa will defeat mexico tomorrow.
as soon as i read the title and saw it was eman - i KNEW this would be a football thread ...
i predict senegal and england - senegal have to win as i drew their name out in the sweepstake in work ... ahem ...
.
at least we're not that bad!.
