The only problem is that the medical and insurance industry have slept with each other and use the cholesterol level to determine insurance eligibility. That has to be the biggest crock of shit on the planet...

by nicolaou inturns out i've inherited this genetic condition whereby my body doesn't regulate cholesterol properly.
even though i eat quite sensibly and exercise my cholesterol is at 7. i'm not overweight, i don't smoke and i only drink with friends.. now the doctor tells me i have 6 months to bring my cholestorol under control or i'll be on pills (statins?).

Yes, high cholesterol levels ARE A MYTH AND FRAUD. Gee, only ten or so years ago a healthy male cholesterol level was around 250-260. Then all of a sudden they changed it to ~160. Can you say STATIN? It was because of the pill pushing whores that this was changed. For ANYONE taking a statin on this board my suggestion is to think twice about it. Statins ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

Why Tracts? And Why Now?
by metatron inah, the poor watchtower!
( is that literal these days?).
with their contributions sinking and expenses growing, they may have to further reduce the magazines - perhaps eliminating the awake.

The WTS finances are just fine and there is nothing to worry about. There have been changes to some magazines and tracts are being used for upcoming conventions. However, the cost of renting the convention centers is very high and they are having two or three conventions in many areas.
The JW's have 1 million baptized members in the US and another 1.5 million that are not baptized that attend congregations and support the WTS. They also are growing overseas and are financing legal battles in foreign countries regarding their beliefs and practices.If the average congregate gives $50 per month that is $125,000,000 per month and $1,500,000,000 per year.
I thought there were 93K congs or so worldwide, right? So, 93,000 * $50 = $4,650,000 monthly or $55,800,000 yearly. Either way you sound like a sympathizer and of that figure I wonder how many got DF'd last year, or just plain faded. If you look at there "growth" statistically you will see it is stagnant at best...

Can I take it from these stories that if I were to visit a JWs meeting and see an attractive lady, she would be unlikely to be up for a quick bit of fornication then?
If you stay long enough and aspire to elder you might be able to get into the juicy bedroom activities and lend a shoulder to cry on...

Another. What part of
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. does he not understand?
So what do we know about it? At the start of revelation (verse 3) it says "Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near."
To be honest i havent read through Revelation and when we studied the climax book i was like 7 or something and cant remember a single thing other than how cool it would be to make a movie out of it and the picture of satan being thrown into the firey abyss (WOOHOO). We are gonna be studying it again soon i hear (at bible study group) and im gonna pay attention (he says).
What i wanna know is ANY details you guys know about what the bible says is gonna happen. im talking PHYSICAL things that will happen. like there being signs in the sun, moon and stars (cant remember where it says that). See i think itll be good to know as close as we can as to WHATs GONNA HAPPEN. Of course i trust that Jehovah will make his loyal ones secure during the great tribulation but im just less likely to crap my pants when it happens if i know how its gonna happen.
Cheers!

Is it me or is there something seriously wrong with these young folks?
so here are my two cents.
would you date satan? uh, i would hope not. my parents have helped me run away from those temptations simply by helping me see it through a different angle, or perspective.
basically, if you're not with jehovah, you're against him. and if you're against him, you are with satan. simple as a pimple. there isn't any neutral ground. so, if anybody out there (wordly) is not a servant of jehovah, not with jehovah, and therefore property of satan.
and like another sister said, we cannot be unevenly yoked with people from the world. for what alliance does god have with satan? think of it. can you really be dating someone who does not love jehovah? here your love for god comes in play.
who will you love more? who will you be loyal to?
i'm fifteen as well, so i know how hard it is to keep in line. but i value my relationship with jehovah. the heart is treacherous. and so we must always be alert of it. maybe you should brush up a little on your personal study skills. if you knew the background of this topic, i think you wouldn't even have to ask this question because you would see the depthness of this problem.
but we're here to help. i just hope you accept our advice. -

WTF?!?!?
Brian this is what I was talking about on my previous comments...
This is a story that some have read, and some have not, but if you're contemplating a mate whether you're a F or M. It applies to both genders, Please read and take to heart
I met him at work one day
On my lunch break, I was about to pray
We talked on and on and oh, he's such a gentleman
I wished that moment would never end
But then reality brought forth, the end of my lunch hour
As he arose, he stood as strong and tall as a tower
We met again and again; our souls began to cling
I've pondered, "Could this be the real thing?"
He doesn't smoke, drink or gamble money
He doesn't take drugs and he's no else's honey
Let's face it, he's fine and has a great bod
The truth? Oh well, he doesn't serve Jehovah God
For I know that he will change in time
So that is why I shall make him mine
My friends tried to warn me. Did I listen? Did I care?
Little did I know, my life would be one of despair
The wedding went fine; the judge married us in fall
You see, I couldn't have my wedding in a Kingdom Hall
My dad? No, he didn't give me away
With the pain in his heart, he didn't have much to say
Mom, can you hear me? Mom, why do you cry?
Don't worry bout me, we'll do just fine
I got a good man, who has a good job
The only thing is, he doesn't serve God
Everything went fine, only recently at night
When the meeting times come, we fuss and we fight
"Who is this God, breaking us apart?
Don't go tonight, follow your heart."
So I listen, to keep the peace in my home
But often times, I feel so alone
Guess cause I don't associate much with the friends at all
You see, I stopped going to the Kingdom Hall
Service? Oh, well that's history
I just decorated my first holiday tree
The holiday celebrations are now a part of my life
I must obey my husband, for I am his wife
The brothers would call, I wouldn't answer the door
I stopped reading the literature, it got to be a bore
You see, marrying out of the Truth, gets one free
Free from Jehovah's love that I once had within me
Oh blessed news, a little one to come
I couldn't wait, had to hurry and tell my Hon
He was in a bad mood, just lost his job that day
He told me all this as he struck my face
"I'm sorry, babe. Forgive me this time, please."
I've heard these words more than once you see
Two jobs I have now, as I support my household
My husband stays home-still out of work-it's getting old
I'm tired a lot lately, and feeling kinda strange
My schedule at both jobs, I've rearranged
The baby is due anytime now
Things will get better some way, some how
For I married a man for better, or worse
One who refuses to put Jehovah first
The baby came, so little and light
It wasn't crying, something was not right
What could it be, I wondered in bed
Then came the Doctor, he just shook his head
"Mrs. Unbeliever, there's something to confess
You and the baby tested positive to the HIV test"
Oh my!! What a death sentence to hear
That the end of both of our lives is near
Listen to me, let me tell you to your face
To marry an unbeliever is a total disgrace
Jehovah, a loving father, who cares for his sheep
So he set guidelines for us to hold and to keep
Let me say this, just to set things straight
He'll give you a nice brother a theocratic mate
Cause there's nothing a worldly man has to offer at all
But unhappiness, sorrow and a serious fall.
(1Cor. 7:39)
Hope that this post keeps us all alert and always Remember: Jehovah's way.... it's the BEST way! -

My god, if this guy were describing the world to a Amazon tribal member they'd be scared shitless to venture out into the "world". If this is his view of society, can I play Mad Max on the way home?
Hello Brian,
there are 2 types of people in this world... those who wish to serve the only true Almighty God Jehovah...
and those who want a god that will serve them and what they want... convenience, paganism, conformity, fornication, acceptance, drugs/drunkenness, popularity, the latest trends... you get the point...
Satan disguises himself as one of these 'convenient' gods... most people who claim to be christian attempt to make Jesus into one of these 'convenient' gods who allows them to do whatever they want in life because of the free gift of the ransom... but Hebrews 10:26 and James 4:17 and Romans 6:15 show that to be false teaching!
The finish of this being that worldly association will drag you into the world and you wont even recognize its happening!
1 Corinthians 7:39 and 2 Corinthians 6:14 make it pretty clear that we should not be dating those who do not serve the only true Almighty God Jehovah
agape,
brother Perez -

Here's another,
what i mean is they would go out without chaperons, and kiss, and fondle each other all the time. kissing is just unclean. And they claim they're doin it the right way when they both lie to their parents about where they go. The know they shouldn't be goin out by themselves. then they will try to get me to be the third wheel and think it's ok for them to do that stuff. So i tel them i dont wanna go out with them if they are gonna do that. now they dont talk to me....
Uh... yea.
