A lot of people were interested in who owned it. I'm glad that the owner revealed herself! I just hope she isn't somehow in the Borg. That would be tragic!

by AndersonsInfo inhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/greece-refugee-camp-border_56707278e4b0fccee1703e8f.
this is what it states in the middle of the article:.
"around the idomeni camp, canteens have mushroomed to sell food to the refugees.

All those Muslims, trying to be converted by JWs. How much you wanna bet that they use the name Allah instead of Jehovah?
Ok, I don't know that, but, I'm curious to know if it is the case.
edit. They do use Allah for God, but I don't know enough Arabic to find a "jehovah" on the arabic site. Genesis 1;1 has Allah.
Just a little bit of useless information. . .

Congregation average
by dothemath ina while back at our co visit, he commended the cong.
because our average hours had gone up.. we went from around 7.3 to about 7.5. i recall the days when anything less than 10 was considered awful.. of course now, they don't even print the hours in the km or anywhere.. i was wondering how these numbers compared to other congregations?.

Wow, this so sounds like a sales organization. Only they usually provide the materials and actual training. Pay for gas. . . .JWs should take the one thing they learn how to do and become life insurance agents or something. Maybe employee benefits-aflac. . . -

Burglarizing his own home with his things inside of it! Oy.
Wonder if they are still considered good JW's? Anyone in Oregon? Keizer?

Welcome. I'm angry at the practices in JW-land, but we were all the people. Most people are sincerely trying to do the right thing. So, no sense hating on individual JWs, though I do hate the Ruling class and its manipulations. -

They said it was a hoax because the writer didn't capitalize allah or makkah. I would not have determined/assumed from that that it was a hoax because in Arabic, there are no capital letters. I used to teach English to Arabic speaking students. Proper nouns weren't a terribly difficult concept, but they commonly forgot to capitalize until they got used to writing in English a great deal.I tried to explain, using Allah, that in English, addressing God as "god" was diminishing Him and bad form, besides being incorrect.
Now, it is clear that today/yesterday, they didn't blow up the schools and it does seem to be a hoax---but if they are determining hoaxes based on poor English skills when they are apparently clueless about their language or culture, we are in a world of hurt.
I'm so glad it was a hoax, but it is scary to think that is how they decide whether to worry about a threat or not. Can't the powers that be get better intel than that? They seem as clueless as Joe Blow (all respect to Mr. Blow!)
Do terrorists ever really give useful warnings ahead of time in any case? Is that a normal thing? Or do they just take "credit" for it afterwards?

It's funny, you write and I see, vividly, the scene. Things you haven't written are clear, somehow.
It's very cool and grounds the story. They are hard to read because of it, though.

Not me! My jw family response to 9/11 offended me with its pure stupidity. The more my mom went on about it the more I wished the planes had targeted bethel. What would they do w/o the FDS? Dissipate into an embarrassing interlude for most. I don't want people dead, I want the Borg to cease operations entirely. -

Id say, " this reminds me, everytime I am at a gathering with a bunch of JWs, they start asking me really intrusive questions. Is that a relugious duty, or am I just meeting a lot of rude people?" -

Seems like no one cares now, they are not likely to (actually) care if they never see you again. Does wife go? Is she making excuses for you (both) about FS? If she isn't, then no one really cares. If she is, then you may get a CO coming to visit visit eventually.
