penis theft panic hits city...thu apr 24, 2008 9:47am edtby joe bavier.
kinshasa (reuters) - police in congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.. reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in west africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.. rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in kinshasa, democratic republic of congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants.

what kind of a relationship are we suppose to have with jesus christ?
He's my son and I have approved of him. He's doing his first year of T-Ball and is doing great at hitting, but not the best second baseman. There's talk of sending him to the outfield.

oh, btw ... Hi real one
i'm a jw in good standing and she is too.
she has had a lot of questions.
now, i feel like there is a division between us.
If the truth divides families, then so doesn't this.
So then, who is right and who is wrong?
It will only divide your family if you allow it to. There are tons of people on here who are no longer believers yet have spouses who still believe. A lot of time it's just a matter of each of you respecting each other's right to have a different opinion.

With a membership since Dec. 2006 it looks like you have had a few questions yourself.
For the record, I'm not anti-JW. I just don't believe in what they have to say.

official speculation thread.... even if a reason is given for the meeting rearrangement when it is announced on 4/27, we all know how the society spins things (e.g., awake magazine being reduced to one issue per month to "put more emphasis on the bible" real reason.. .
so why is the society doing this?
on the surface, it seems to be a loosening of control.
I would suggest for a few reasons.
I might think of more, but those are the main ones. I'm actually surprised that this might happen. I remember years ago them going on about how the bookstudies will more then likely be the only contact we have with the JW's once the work is under ban. I don't know if this is written somewhere, but we could really use it to our advantage if it is as it would seem that they're not too worried about the whole persecution thing any more.

I just called the court. The hearing is open to the public and starts at 9am on May 20th.
I went in and talked to my member of Parliment this morning, and he said that because it is the Supreme court making the desicion on the issue, they can't be swayed by public opinion, so I'm doubting the usefulness of a huge campaign. What should be done though, is making Kerry L-W's article on blood available to the defendant's lawyers. I'll look into that later today.
My question, will the judges recieve and read that essay or would it be considered influencing their opinion?

does anyone know where a person could download a copy of the 1999 bethel telephone directory that was circulating around in the past or a newer one?
or does someone have a copy of the pdf that they could email?
From here : http://www.4shared.com/dir/6420379/aa479ef5/sharing.html
Click on the PDF file. It will bring you to another page. At the bottom of that page there is a "Download" button. Select that.
That will open up a second window, on this second window you'll see in the middle of the page a green box that says "No Virus Detected" with yet another "download" button under that. Click on that and you'll be on your way.
Blondie, yes, it's amazing what's online! There are very few things published now that actually aren't out there. And those things could be very, very valuable and I'm not meaning in a monitary way either.
