Breaking in the New XD

xd as in springfield armory xd.

.45acp 5" tactical.. (and now they go and introduce the new 'm' model just to piss me off!).

for anyone who doesn't know, this is the springfield armory xd:.

Congrats on the new XD! Practice dry firing. Remove mag and pull back on slide to see and feel empty chamber. Make sure ammo is in other room. Go into the other room and check gun again to make sure gun is unloaded (Yes double check). Then cock slide on your unloaded XD and aim in a safe direction then balance a quarter on the front sight, pull back on the trigger slowly until you hear click. The quarter should not fall off. Use the first pad of your finger (just under the nail) to squeeze the trigger. Do this for 15 min. You will improve. Important if you get distracted from a phone call or any kind of brake when coming back make sure gun is unloaded!! and continual to dry fire. The XD family is a striker firing gun so you can dry fire all day without damage. Safety first GH

I went to a JWs house a couple of years ago. In the living room was about 10 feet of Yearly bound volumes of the watchtower and awake books from back in the 40s to the year 2004. I was waiting for everyone cause we were going out to eat. I stood up in front of the books and said out loud. "Can JWs get a trans plant operation?" I then pointed to the books in group and said "YES" then pointed to another group of books and said "NO" then yes again. Boy did I get funny looks. I think they were saying to them selves is this guy a brother?

'Paradise Earth' makes absolutely no sense!

by navytownroger in

the jw idea of 'paradise earth' seems to be full of holes.

will babies of baptized jws also be in the new system?

if not, how could the child's parents consider it 'paradise' without their children?

Loins or any animal can not eat straw. Animals can eat hay but never straw. There is no nutritional value to eating straw. Straw is used for bedding and building.

One quick question? Can JWs store there blood for an operation? And if they need a blood transfusion can they have there own stored blood? I know this was a big no no a while back. But I know they change there rules every 10 years or so, so thats why am asking what the rules are as of Aug. 2008? Thanks

Can somebody explain the time sheet process

by tryingtounderstandjws in

is it an actual form that you fill out and submit to the main office?

do you break down the hours and what you did?

did anyone find it fun or help encourage them to do more, or was more time just spent getting creative with it?

greenhornet

A while back I had some time to turn in.

chukyy.

Mary said: Jehovah will make black people white in the Noo System of Things. Watch Tower 1904 February 15 pp.52-53 “Can the Ethiopian change his skin?” “What the Ethiopian cannot do for himself God could readily do for him. The difference between the races of men and the differences between their languages have long been arguments against the solidarity of the human family. The doctrine of restitution has also raised the question. How could all men be brought to perfection and which color of skin was the original? The answer is now provided. God can change the Ethiopian's skin in his own due time. Prof. H. A. Edwards, Supt. of Schools in Slater, Mo., has written for the public press an elaborate description of how Julius Jackson, of New Frankfurt, Mo., a negro boy of nine years, began to grow white in September, 1901, and is now fully nine-tenths white. He assures us that this is no whitish skin disease; but that the new white skin is as healthy as that of any white boy, and that the changed boy has never been sick and never has taken medicines” If Michal Jackson can do this so can Jehobah

FIRST AID at the DCs

by tresdecu in

jw
friends

the thread about the old woman who died at the assembly got me thinking about how first aid is run at the conventions.

for many years i worked as an attendant, we were always instructed that, if there is a medical emergency to contact first aid and not to call an ambulance directly from the location.

in the age of cell phones it made much more sense to me to call 911 right away (for serious emergencies) , if it's a stroke or heart attack time is critical.

Mulan,, Yes I remember Rick he was a good guy. I was very upset that he had a motorcycle accident.

i had a sort of mentor back at my hall in albuquerque.

he was a little older than me and married.

we had a lot of fun and even though he was more " mature " spiritually speaking he was like a big kid who pointed out hypocritical stuff.
