if i was a deity and wanted people to know "the truth", i would just say it in plain language instead of veiling everything in symbolism, innuendo, and vague hints.
what does that method of communication accomplish?.
if i remember correctly, the borg answer to that is this method of communicating tricks the bad people but the good people can figure it out just fine.
Its clear that god only wanted people with mensa type brains who could work out puzzles and brain teasers. Perhaps he was hoping for a mathematician type following of supernerds, and instead he got a bunch of half wits and 1970s union leaders.
What a disapointment for the almighty one.
ex for child support?
its not that i can't support him with what i make, but i feel that it is her obligation to help.
i know she is struggling right now, so i have reserved the rights for child support.
Its not about the money, its about the principle.
If she bought a car shes expected to pay for it. If she buys a washing machine shes expected to meet the power bills required to run it. She cant whack a kid out and then think she can financially walk away from a whole human being just because shes a bit hard up.
i am beginning to think the medical community is much like our watchtower foes, i am beginning to think the medical community is wishing for a medical armageddon that hasn't happened.
what happened to sars?
wasn't it supposed to kill hundreds of millions?
I visited a school in Kenya over summer. My last school has a link with it. 40% of the pupils there are orphans through AIDS. It was shocking. And they are such hard working lovely intelligent students.
I tell all my classes about it now, and I draw a line across the classroom and say "that would be all you guys with no mum or dad".
But your right, AIDS is not sexy or newsworthy.

I think the bird flu got killed off by a particularly virulent strain of madcowdisease which was spread through salmonella infected eggs.
But I wouldnt worry because were all gonna get cooked or washed away by global warming before our brains get fried via our mobile phones.
(I may sound sarcastic, but I am shitting myself about at least one of the above)
it might have escaped your notice but sirona and i are totally in love and seem to have a mutual appreciation society thing going on; however this has not taken place without causing some online problems as some of you might be aware.. both dawn (sirona) and i are conscious that we have hijacked a number of threads given our perpetual state of being loved up.
given the untold frustration we might have caused to some posters we have decided to launch our very own jwd loved up thread.. this hopefully should allow threads to go on being productive without the frustration of people (us) whispering online sweet nothings and flirting and we therefore invite you all to use this thread if you are loved up, have similar mutual appreciation societies or simply wish to flirt with other online posters.
you can even use this thread to dedicate a post to someone who isnt online and who just lightens your life and makes you smile.. please join us and reassure us that we are not the only loved up people on jwd.. .
Well now that we are all loved up I guess its time for me to tell everyone im in love with Crumpy!
But I am married to my own reflection, so it can never be....

Any principal carer is entitled to child support. Its part of being a parent that you contribute to the upkeep of the person you helped to bring into the world.
In the UK the issue of affordability is taken care of by the legislation, and a percentage of a persons disposable income is taken as child care. I presume it would be the same where you are, so if the mum is struggling only a small amount would be taken.
I think you are entitled to it. She helped create the child. A child is for life, not just for christmas!
sorry if this has already been asked before.
i was just curious, because i think it would be really cool to have a former "big wig" jw post here.
Skyling, that sounds really interesting. I guess its difficult to press someone on such a sensitive topic, but it sure would be interesting to know what made him leave.

My god DB. Is this for real? You sound so sickly slushy im wondering if you are really a bloke.
You need a night down the pub farting and talking about football. Pull yourself together man!
lets say youre a jw married couple, get a divorce (unscriptural divorce, that is, so in jehovahs eyes you are still married), then both of you change your minds.
well, not completely.
you both realize the sex was great but your other needs and wants have changed in opposite directions.
You really shouldnt have sex with your ex partner.
There was a REASON why you divorced the SOB in the the first place, and if you end up in bed with him once you dont have to cook his meals and pick up his lousy clothes off the floor, listen to him belch and watch him walk round with his bottom two shirt buttons undone because 'its easier to scratch his belly' then its clear you either have a really short memory or you just arent getting laid by anyone else.
IMO.
when i was about 16 years old, a group of us friends would go hiking a lot on the weekend.
we would rough it to some degree, just a sleeping back and sleeping under the stars.
one night, while hiking into a lake in northern california, we all were sleeping in a clearing just out of legal distance from a small mountain lake we liked to fish in.
But in fairness Lowden, that Swedish mushroom fondue was probably so delicious they had second helpings before they went out to walk it off.
