Out out damn spot (Defenders of the Borg)!

by BritBoy in

jw

why oh why oh why are there defenders of the wts posting and participating on an apostate website?!

surely the borg, correct me if i am wrong, tells (us)you to stay away from anything apostate.

to treat it with the disdain it deserves... so why?, i ask you, are you participating?

Angharad

I think there is room for people at all stages here. I know Simon started out on discussion boards, while he was still a witness, and defended his faith. I think its good that active witness post here, it gives them the chance to think freely about things, without any fear. And who knows, it may just change a few people's minds about the society.

should mothers work?

should mothers work?.

i was just reading how some tv personnality earns 250.000 a year and pays for someone to mind her children.. isn't this making her job more important than her children?would she pay this much herself for a child minder or is her job more important than being certain her children are recieving the best care?.

thats just thinking aloud ' i'm not sure where i stand on this.. maybe staying home with young children all day is to much for one human prehaps we need to do other things and children don't need their mother all the time and are ok with someone else.. i was looked after by my mother when young who gave up her job when pregnant with her first child.. my wife however was looked after by a child minder while her mum went to work .she feels she didn't miss out and would do the same.

I can't imagine missing out on the daily happenings at home. Such as the screaming fight I'm going to break up right now.

LOL Princess, I know that feeling.

Although I really miss working, I am glad I stayed at home with the kids, even though they drive me crazy most of the time.

Ever been counciled for doing a craft??

by lydia in

coming from central pa - i get to see lots of quilts - and i have started to quilt myself - although i recieved lots of council about spending the long hours alone on a quilt ( the brother apparently never heard the words "quilting bee" ) i finally quit doing them for a while because of the pressure i was getting..... finnally when i realized that i needed to do some form of craft as a stress reducer ( from all the pressure from the borg) i told the elders where to go - and also said " i'd be happy to quit quilting - are you going to pay for the pyschiatri help and the meds they may prescribe??

this is therapy for me!!".

it shut him up for a bit.. .

Good for you Scully

I do enjoy doing x-stich when I have the time, but was never counciled for it!

Okay Fess Up: What's Your Handle Mean?

by Mindchild in

jw
friends

okay fess up: whats your handle mean?.

my handle: mindchild comes from computer scientist and futurist dr. hans moravec: who wrote the book, the future of robot and human intelligence which is a book about when we will be able to construct machines capable of human intelligence and raises the possibility of uploading ourselves (every thought we ever had) into an android body much superior to the human ones we have now.

i entertain the hope that not only will i live long enough to see this happen, i will transfer myself (the complete essence of what is me) into a body of my own choosing and become immortal if i so choose.

Angharad

Ummm It's my real name, and also hubby registered me, when he was setting up the forum!

British coinage

by thewiz in

ok you brits, i have looked this up before, but can't remember where, and only for the "legal" terms.. you have terms/slang for your coinage/bills that i can never seem to remember or get right.. can you list first the real name for denomination (lowest to highest), then the slang terms you use for that denomination, and then the american $ equivalent?.

what's a quid?

is it the same thing as a shilling?.

Angharad

A quid is £1
