My chat with 2 Dubs yesterday about UN membership

by jookbeard in

i live close to a resonanbly busy street, 20 odd shops banks, a train station,a couple of cafes and coffee shops etc and usually see dubs doing street work close to the station and i'm now on nodding terms with an elder who is out most days of the week and have got close to recognizing most of the hard core of about a dozen of them , i was walking out of the cafe yesterday to be greeted by a couple of newbies i'd never seen before , a scruffy short dumpy man and a fairly well presented middle aged lady, i'll try and abridge the conversation as best as i can, we must have chatted for about 15 minutes and it was all in a good mannered style;.

me " have you sold many of those this morning ?".

jw guy " oh no we dont sell them we give them away for free" (like i didn't know that).

Thinly veiled threats are so uncool. No not just uncool, flaccid, weak, without merit, grandstanding, unnecessary. Yep. I'm not impressed.

It's never here nor there with me. I not really care but I was here when it came out in the guardian and several members of this board researched and wrote letters to the UN about the WT's NGO status. The UN comfirmed (copies of the reply letters with the UN letterhead were posted on this board) and the wt pulled out with its tail between its lying legs. Makes no difference to me if you choose not to believe it.

Already been done. You're late and a pound short. There was no change. The wt got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and made a lame half assed excuse (total lie) to pull out. Typical.

Folks have already done that (years ago) and posted information received confirming wt NGO membership. This is old news and well documented in this board's archives.

Parents of Teens--I need encouragement

by love2Bworldly in

jw
friends

i am really feeling down today, can't stop crying.

i just need some words of encouragement from other parents that i will survive my kids' teen years.

my 13 year old is trying to discover/find herself, has emotional issues--since birth, cuts/burns herself secretly--she is on prozac, in regular counseling, spent time last year in a physchiatric hospital, and just generally always has stomach aches or conflicts with other peers and is flunking math as usual as well as getting bad grades in citizenship lately.. my 17 year old son is on probation for being in a fight last fall, and does illegal stuff for cash.

I'm so happy for you and glad things turned out great. Thanks for the update.

If you believe in Gods laws why dont you go live in Saudi Arabia ?

by mP in

i think we all know that shariah law is basically mohammads copy of the torah, with minor edits.

slavery, womens inequality, anti homosexuality are obviously written in the same spirit.

so believers why dont you go live in saudi arabia if yo u believe gods law is perfect or at the last useful ?.

mrsjones5

You are an atheist Mrs. Jones? wow had no idea...

Why would you? I'm more of an Apatheist anyway.

If man evolved?

by tornapart in

i know anyone who believes in evolution is going to say that there is no 'if' about it.

however.... if man evolved over hundreds of thousands of years ago, why were there only about 200-300 million people alive 2,000 years ago?

surely there'd have been many billions by then?.

So one cannot think a certain thought because it is the same as acting upon said thought?

Fascinating.
