  a jury in milwaukee awarded 17 million bucks to an 82 year old barber who got hit by a car.

  driven by a church volunteer.

  the archdiocese was held liable for the volunteers' actions.. (see wall street journal editorial page, march 17, 2005).. now, i'd like to see the watchtower crash and burn as much as anyone .... but i sincerely.

  .

  the latest episode of dr who really made me laugh - the bbc script writers made some quite subtle but pointed digs at the government wo had previously 'won' (unfairly) after appointing their own judge as to whether the bbc or the government lied about iraq.. the pm got killed.. downing street got destroyed because of aliens with .... weapons of mass destruction that could be launched in 45 minutes seconds (which in the end turned out not to exist).

  brilliant.

  Does WTBS believe in UFOs???

  by ShadowX in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i personally don't really believe in it, well certainly didn't see anything yet that would convince me otherwise.

  but browsing wtbs cd-rom i've come across quite deliberate reference about ancient ufo sightings which are intriguing.

  even though later article goes through usual wtbs reasoning that tries to put a lid on any inquiry by "faithful christians" i cannot but wonder if they are themselves actually believing it.

  No Trespassing!! Breaking news for local JW's.

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this week at the book study, at all congregations in the u.s., a letter was read saying if you go to a house or property with a "no trespassing" sign, you must not enter, or knock on the door.

  you have to leave immediately.

  a sign saying "no solicitors" is too ambiguous, and they are to use their own judgment, and don't have to knock.
