I'm glad! Those who earlier expressed interest in printing-when no one knew who owned them anymore- can now perhaps help the Dystras to get it going again. No excuse to bootleg them. Yay!

This is a good thing and I can't believe folks are trying now to make it about a drama or agenda. If you support the publishing of it, you now can help. If you want a legit copy, hopefully they will be available soon. Win-win.

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!

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 in

a 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?.

JWdaughter

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?

i'm happy to join every ex-jw.borg site i can and support in whatever way i can.

i now regularly donate to these sites when available.

i'm bitter but i don't hate jws because they were brainwashed like we all were.

JWdaughter

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.

All schools closed in L.A. county today, a bomb threat.

something needs to be done 960000 kids have the day off, 900 schools closed.. our way of life is changing, get use to it..

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?

WORDS MY FATHER NEVER SPOKE

words my father never spoke.

"the last time i saw wes he was standing over your baby bed reciting something from--oh, i don't know--shakespeare or the old testament.

then, he leaned down to kiss you instead of picking you up.

JWdaughter

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.
