you couldn't make it up.
the home office has managed to free over a thousand foreign prisoners from british jails who should have been considered for deportation at the end of their sentences.
they include;3 murderers9 rapists5 paedophiles7 convicted of other sex offences57 convicted for violent offences2 manslaughter41 burglars20 drug importers54 convicted of assault27 convicted of indecent assault.
This is scandalous really. Charles Clarke won't resign though. He's a bully and an egotist by all accounts and believes in his and the Labour Party's correctness in all their dealings.
I'm no anti-immigration propogandist or avid Daily Mail reader but it does seem that a percentage of the 400,000 or so unaccounted for illegal immigrants seem to be involved in petty crime like pick-pocketing and theft too.
i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).
(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).
anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.
Hiya,
Don't want to divert from Balistics excellent map but his idea jogged my memory that I was part of a similar map of 3D modellers around the world. I've set a map up for JWDers around the world. Join in the fun on this map too if you like
i have just joined this site after having been visiting as a guest for a few months.
i am searching for answers so please be patient with me.
a friend of mine in the congregation has directed me to this site as he has been having doubts about the organization, though he said he never posts on it.
Welcome to the board Zico.
I'd be interested to know that particular PO's personal circumstances and social interactions. I believe there are many psychological parameters affecting people who suddenly profess to be annointed and hope of going to heaven.
For instance is he married? has family? been through trauma or personal crisis? etc
.
just wondering if any here know their iq?.
my son, just recently coming back into my life, told me he had his done,,,,and i was wondering,,any here know of theirs, and how it might have affected their lives, their outlook, etc.
I used to be a member of Mensa and the International Society for Philosophical Enquiry which have entry requirements of 150 & around 172 respectively on the Cattell scale I think. I had no interest in either as I joined when I was 16 and was more interested in computer games, cars, girls, watching cartoons etc rather than meeting at a local pub to discuss highbrow stuff or trying to put the world to rights (I was too young for the pub at that point anyway)
All I ended up with was a big collection of Mensa magazines and invites to IPSE AGM's. I was only in IPSE for a year because your membership was based on how much you got involved.
I took a couple of IQ tests and scored 174 when I was 16 on the Cattell and 181 on Stanford Binet when I was 19.
On the flip side I have no common sense whatever, I can be very shy and can only be the witty, gregarious guy some people know when I invent myself a character to be and live inside it until it becomes impossible to carry on the pretense (sociopathic tendencies maybe?). I can sometimes come across as arrogant and have never had a proper relationship or held onto a job for any period of time without quitting out of boredom or frustration. I am seeing a psychiatrist and am on anti-depressants.
I am a greater part stupid than clever and my life has been more failure than triumph. I either wish I could have been an ordinary kid or had more encouragement to fulfill the potential I maybe had rather than devoting all my energies to 12 dudes in Brooklyn.
Sorry for jabbering on, I'm a bit drunk on Glayva hic!
It's good stuff though
elsewhere posted this on another thread so i'm just going to copy it here.
how much of an influence are jws having over 7 billion people?
lets see, according to http://www.watchtower.org/statistics/worldwide_report.htm .
Interesting stats Lady Lee. I never brought anyone into the org, but then I left when I was 26.5 years old. Good job I left when I did otherwise I could have been on the cusp of converting someone!
who's with me in saying being a jehovahs witness is soooooooooooooooooo wrong.
i recon they should be called jehovah's sheep!
(well they are, apparently we are his"flock") how many poeple at had (or have) to go through torture.
LOL!
Never heard 'hovis biscuit' before. I used to get 'joeboe' or 'jehoover sh*tness' or 'dickhead'.. well actually that last one wasn't cos I was a witness it was for being a twit.
Actually hovis biscuit is quite apt cos both them and JW's go soggy, weak and get gobbled up after being dunked.
i am trying to find out how and where i can become involved in a stem cell research program.
i have 8 different conditions that all hail from defective auto immune system and am getting sicker as time goes by.
if anyone know where or how to get in touch i will follow through immediately.
That's very interesting Metatron. Do you have links to any articles for further reading on the subject of inflammation as a cause of disease?
I also have a friend who has severe irratable bowel syndrome and also a family history of Crohns disease which she is worried about. New findings like that could be useful.
.
hello,.
i am new to this site but look foward to posting regularly.
Welcome to JWD Cosmonaut
Hope to hear more about you.
well, that's what they teach !!!.
just because they go to 5 meetings a week, and try to dish out magazines, when themselves don't read half of it.. i know people of other religions, who have more love than many of the jw's have.
i know people who don't have a religion, who have more heart than many of the jw's.. so, why do they think that they alone will be saved?.
Ah thanks for pointing out those articles Blondie That makes it very clear they believe they are doing the marking.
When I was a JW I must have thought it was such a presumptious belief that it would have to be changed. Obviously not and I should have known cos the GB are nothing if not egotistical.

They believe only JW's will be saved because they're more of a cult than a religion because of their exclusivity teaching of salvation. Saying you don't need to be a JW is something of a fallacy cos their teaching is that only those doing what JW's do are going to be saved.... which are JW's obviously
They claim exclusivity in doing a preaching work but there were missionaries from other religions all round the world hundreds of years before the WTS was set up. The preaching of the 'good news of the kingdom' was the only pre-requisite in the bible and not of the old hebrew god YHWH.
Interesting article Blondie. I might be wrong but didn't the org change their policy on the faithful and discreet slave doing the marking from the secretary's inkhorn? Also that the preaching work wasn't 'marking' people for destruction or salvation?
I can't look things up at the moment cos my main PC is being repaired so my memory could be wrong.
