1 terabyte......I think you can put a medium public library on that. Also it's not that much if you consider going to the computershop now and you'll find out that most computers are fitted with a 200gigabyte harddisks. It's about a thousandfold increase in about 12 years (200meg was the average back then) hmmm, I wonder if we'll have 200 terabyte harddisks in 12 years from now, ....I think we will actually.

I used to be a seascout..sailing and stuff, it was really great. Also I used to play soccer for a couple of years when I was around 7 years old. I remember one of my teammates telling me that one of the trainers abused children sexually. I soon quit the club after that.
I always thought childabuse happened everywhere, also within the Jehovah's witnesses.. What makes it worse when it happens within the witnesses is that their beliefs are used to make the children keep their mouth shut. By instilling the fear that's so characteristic of the JW cult.
It does happen everywhere, but whereas in the past childrens story's where doubted, now the world is taking the problem more and more serious which leads to more people taking the chance of coming out with their story, which leads to more mediacoverage, which disgust us but makes the authorities to take a more proactive stance towards the problem. Well that's my take on these things. I actually wish I wouldn't be confronted with such disturbing realities...but then I wouldn't be helping the victims by denying the truth that is.

Are Apostates Ruining "the Watchtower"?
by slimboyfat inthe witnesses had a coherent and comforting system before apostates came along and challenged many of "the watchtower's" core beliefs.
over blood, the un and other issues the "watchtower" has responded to apostates by clarifying/changing positions.
many firm believers have been led away from the faith by the active apostate community on the web.

The Watchtower of Babel caught fire allright and the fire is out of control! Save as many witnesses as you can and hook them up to internetpowered breathing equipment While the firebrigade is trying to save the neighbouring buildings, the GB still refuse to leave the building, don't they know that they are in mortal danger? to be continued.......

Tower of Babel is a Star Gate
by crizlee inaccording to genesis 11:4, people constructed the tower of babel, it was a ziggurat.
ziggurats, which means to be elevated, were built on top of mountains.
now there was a scripture that tells of a ladder appearing from the sky and an angel of the lord came down this ladder to speak with jacob and then went back up it to the heavens.

I am still waiting to find what is truly hidden beneath the Sphinx in Egypt
I did hear about this room located between it's frontpaws 10 metres below the surface. Appearantly the Egyptian government won't allow it to be opened. They've only known about this room since the late 20th century when they found it using echoscopy.
Stargates? I think this would be rather farfetched, but you know truth is sometimes stranger than fiction so if you'd come up with something even more farfetched i just might believe you

Patriotism And All That..
by Englishman ini've noticed that ex dubbies tend to become quite patriotic once they've left the witnesses.
actually, scrub the patriotic, i mean very patriotic!.
it's odd really..we don't give much credence to king or country whilst we're in the dubby brigade, yet once we're out, we seem to become a bunch of flag waving scallywags with the best of them.. i wonder if we're using patriotism as a replacement for the loss of a controlling influence that we feel when we leave the witnesses?

Englishman, maybe your observation is most applicable to American xdubbies, as their european counterparts seem to resort to America bashing as their new religion. Anyway, I think patriotism can easily lead to nationalism which can be very dangerous. Also hurting people's patriotic feelings can cause them float towards nationalism. One has always keep this in mind when discussing international politics.
Polarization led by emotions usually leads to less understanding of opposing opinions and less willingness to try and understand those other opinions. Anyway, I've seen emotions block the way to rational discussion in the politics section and it has resulted, more than once, in unneccesary name-calling on both sides. I usually try to stay out of discussions going that direction, but I do like to express my opinions on international and American politics

Honesty, you can't insert a file from your own harddisk...it has to be somewhere on an internetserver. Now nobody can see the psalm you put up.
