  The Farmers Branch city council ( a suburb of Dallas, Tx.) has voted unanimously to make English the official language of the city

  Jim-_TX

  The company that I work for has a production/assembly facility in Farmers Branch, TX. I can tell you - for a fact - that there is a larger majority of 'other' nationalities - and not Hispanics. I am not sure the nationality... it's some sort of Asian cultures... and not just one. Several.

  Whatever the nationallity of the "legals" or "illegals"..........if you want to live in a country that is not your birth country.....then learn the language. The Polish, Hungarian, Czechs, Croats, Serbs, and many more who came the the U.S. shores 100 years ago might have kept their original "tongue" at home and in family but the majority learned the language....broken as is may have been.......of their adopted country. It was a must in order to become a U.S. citizen (the dream of the majority.) And I am out front in the statement....."This is America. Why should I have to press #1 to continue in English?"

  I do..however..agree with the work ethics of the newcomers to the U.S.. Their work ethic puts most of us Americans to shame. They will do what it takes to better themselves. On the other hand....we have too many "original" U.S. citizens (and I don't mean the American Indians) who think they have "entitlements" (and I'm not pin-pointing any race either....so don't even go there) without any effort at all. And they are the ones who probably do the most bitching about "foreigners."

  Who is to blame for the influx of "foreigners" and "illegals?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmm............could it be the same ones who are in charge of the policies of the U.S. government? I think they are called POLITICIANS!

  Just the two cents worth of someone who has spent almost 45 yeas in industry and labor.

  yay!

  i was brought up as a j/w and my mum stopped going when i was a teenager.

  i tried to get back into it as an adult but spent more time in the bible studies arguing, so i kind of realised after a few years it was going nowhere.. spent years just studying on my own cos i couldnt find a christian organisation i felt i agreed with and stayed clear of church cos of so called.

  Kingdom News #37 update and future propaganda

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this morning, the elder taking the field service group said that all placements of kn37 had to be counted, with the campaign ending on november 12.. placements after the campaign could be made, but not counted.

  the service was all hype.. now, let's imagine that all 6,500,000 witnesses placed 50 tracts.

  how many would they place altogether?.

  I got home this afternoon about 3:00 PM after a great morning at church and then coffee and brunch afterward with friends......and some shopping (window type). Lo and behold! When I opened my storm door......the tract fell out. It has been about 2 to 3 years since any JW has been on my street. I guess they gave up on me!

  And.............if I would have been home, I would not have answered to their knock.

  Brenda,

  My heartfelt love and hugs to you at this time. I don't know what to say anymore at the injustices imposed by the JW mindset. They really have a lot to answer for.

  Sam,

  If you think guns kill people then cars get speeding tickets and forks and spoons make people fat.

  Michael Moore is an idiot who doesn't know truth from fiction. He's laughing all the way to the bank knowing that he has fooled people into believing his crap.

  about 5 months ago gumby had a knee operation, it never healed and the doctors here suck in a big way.

  so yesterday he and his wife went south to get a second opinion and maybe get this knee surgery healed up.

  so if you got it in you please pray for his speedy recovery and healing.

  I'm going to be making a post about knee operations after the first of the new year since it looks like I will be having an operation on my left knee. I'll need all the info I can get from those who have been there.

  What planted the seed of doubt that lead you to leave or think of leaving?

  i've been thinking of this a lot lately.

  the following experience ties my first doubt in with my present life.

  as a backdrop to this, you should know that i was a 5th generation "raised in the truth" jw through my mother (her great-grandfather got "the truth" from pastor russell).

  To make it short and sweet............it was the lack of love among the people who always said that Christ's true followers will be known by the love they show. Sure isn't the Jehovah's Witnesses! Then of course, there were always the nagging doubts of how other scriptures were explained to only be applied to the JW's.

  HappyDad

  P.S. Remember this..............There is no such thing a unconditional friendship in the borg. The ones you are close with are no different than rattlesnakes. As soon as you think everything is hunkydory..........you are turned on and bit.
