I am just offended by the title. I fully admit to not knowing the lyrics, but it puts me in mind of an elderly person (my mom) making some comment about "those nice little mexicans" in the condescending way that well meaning people do. . . I don't know. "bless her heart", I know she doesn't mean anything unkind, but anyway. I thought the song(tune or what have you) was annoying

Geoffrey Jackson and the Australian Royal Commission's timing of events
by Tenacious ini'm not sure why i was thinking this but does anyone else find it an incredibly rare coincidence that geoffrey jackson just so happened to be in australia attending to his father when the arc happen to be at the exact stage for him to be deposed as a witness?
what are the chances of him being in the country at that precise moment?.
divine intervention?

His dad died, so I don't think there is any funny business there. -

If YOU had to make the decision, would you respect a JW relatives wish to refuse a blood transfusion?
by nicolaou ina few years after i quit the meetings my mum needed her medical directive signed and witnessed and she asked if i'd do it.
i was surprised to say the least!.
i think she was just angling to include me and maybe find some lever to get me involved again.

Does anyone have the original copy of the Awake 2015 Jan before it was changed?
by jwfacts injan used a famous scientist to garner misleading support for creation, quoting rama singh as saying "the opposition to evolution goes beyond religious fundamentalism and includes a great many people from educated sections of the population.
2015 jan p.3) whilst the quote is accurate, it misrepresents singh's intention.
singh continues in the same paragraph, "there are several reasons why facts of evolution are not easily comprehensible by the general masses.

I was going to be positive that at least the WT respected the scientist and removed the quote, but from what you have all said regarding all the places they did NOT remove it, I think that the suspect nature of their honesty has been confirmed to be, not suspicious, but confirmed as dishonorable and dishonest. :( -

I would respect her wishes. There'd be no living with her afterwards if I did not. Part of that is because when my dad was dying, he (not a JW) was given blood and my mom didn't stop it-and she likely could have just because of his condition. I appreciated that, and while I am not sure she would do the same if it were one of her kids, I think she would. -

No JWs in Doha! There are some in Egypt, but its all very covert. Doubt any reside in Saudi.
Going to any of those places would guarantee that your kids out of the influence, you will get great travel packages and you can just be normal people and leave your religion off the table altogether. Expats go to church, but no one pressures you because it is not cool, and most just go to buffets on Saturday (which is church day, sunday is a work day)
Schools are better in Doha, IMO.

Umbertoecho here.
by umbertoecho inhello people.. i'm tired and a bit sick at the moment but i can't let anyone think that this is going to go away.... i am able to tell you a few things in order to prevent any confusion in the minds of those who are thinking that nothing will come of this arc;that nothing will effect the wtbts in america and other places.. i have been there and given my testimony.
helen milroy and her assistants were there along with another group of people who are there to lend assistance if you crack up at any time during or after the hearing.
i did not crack up but can see how this happens.. security is tight and anonymity is sacred to them as they want to protect all who come forward.

Thank you for explaining. It must have been exhausting and strange to put everything out there that hurts so much.
I appreciate you. I'm appalled at what is allowed to flourish among the "witnesses" of Jehovah'. It is shocking when one considers how eager they are to DF those who are even giving an appearance of evil or who are gossiped about for silly things and how reluctant they are to DF grown adult men who have had innocent children tell damaging truths about them.

January jw-tv broadcast with Lett
by bohm inlett is back with a vengance!.
* the last money-begging effort increased donations by 15% for two months; a letter by a 13 year old who donated is read out loud.
* since last may "so many good things have happened".

They can only live off of their assets so long without them being replenished adequately. Ask anyone who becomes unemployed how long their great retirement savings last when their industry has totally gone to the dogs. Like Journalism. If you don't get another job, the assets are eaten up.
I live in hope!

Your Opinion Pleeease
by thankyou injw girl non-jw guy.
tenuous boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
what is more likely to strengthen a relationship?.

JWdaughter
If she can't take a "happy new year" then the relationship is likely doomed. Please be your natural self with her and let things develop (or not) naturally. Any falseness on your part, going against your true nature (I don't mean lose your manners and decency and revert to ape behavior, ok??!!) will just mean that she is accepting someone other than the YOU that YOU have to live with for the rest of your life. Changing your nature for another is dooming the relationship to failure. If you can't be you in dating, how will you survive a long term relationship? You are who you are.
