this morning, the new york times published an article entitled “radicalization of a belgium student turned bomb maker was invisible.” this piece, written by alissa j. rubin, details the conversion of 24-year-old najim laachraoui, one of the suicide bombers responsible for the attack of the belgium airport on march 22. rubin cites associates and family members of laachraoui, who all say that while he leaned toward a strict version of islam, and they did notice changes in his ideology and behavior, they never suspected he would be capable of such violent acts.
I agree. I have felt this for years, but could not articulate it. The problem with ISIS is that it ends in violent deaths, almost inevitably.
Calling every Muslim a terrorist does feed ISIS with new recruits, because human nature plays into cult tactics well.

the problem is i have a baptized witness going out on service door to door giveing comments at kh who for the last 4 years has had sex with at least 10 prostitutes and regularly takes drugs ie speed the cong has no idea he's doing this he says he will never go to elders for fear his family will shun him if df so he continues i know because he tells me everything should i tell the elders or not.
many bro s spoken about the bethelite natheer salih as a wise iraquian jew that became jw.he worked in writting dpertmente.
somebody knows him ?
The name Nathir Salih is arabic or persian. Most arabs in america are Christian. Not a lot of jews, but the name is regional, not muslim. Even people with Mohammed as part of name are not necessarily muslim, though most are.
“i found it gross and disgusting.".

- if you see this balcony rockin’, don’t come knockin’.it was too early thursday morning for ava kwinter to unsee what she describes as a “traumatic” start to her day.as she passed by her door leading to the second-floor balcony just before 7 a.m., she saw two shadowy figures locked in an embrace.“the sun was already coming up but it was still dark,” she said.
i have looked around and i don't see this covered, so i am starting a thread.. 1) the new "blood card" goes beyond being just a "blood card".. 2) a new edict concerning compliance.. pay attention to the changes.. first, the new card is termed "advance decision to refuse specified medical treatment".
the big change with the card itself is that it includes an 'override' of your "power of attorney".
this is huge.
Or just dont sign the silly thing. With all the id theft, this is a lame ass thing to do. The fact that They expect you to give the info and access to a committee is one darn good reason to refuse.
"My lawyer has discouraged this since I have no control over an hlc and there is no reason to give unnamed persons access to my medical records or any say in my treatment."
In fact as the HLC is not being given POA then you are just giving them open ended snooping rights. There is nothing useful they can do-all they can do is harrass you or your family about your choices.
i like how it looks in other people but not for myself.. this is a phrase i have heard often from my wife.
now i am to a point where i am trying to figure it out if this is something all women do or say.
i can understand how you would say this if you were talking about a type of clothing that doesn't go with your figure, except that you may add the disclaimer... "if i had that figure i would wear this".
I can like a style on another and know it wouldnt suit me. I love big beautifold bold jewelry but I dont have the desire to fuss with it. I love colors thag make me look ill. I love styles that would look silly because I am no longer 19. Kind of like I can think a young man is handsome but have no inclinations to go cougar-ey. I got old, not blind.
Get the tattoo or not. If your wife isnt wanting to share the experience, no worries.
this is good news.
the wt have lost in their attempt to stop the uk charity commission's inquiry into their affairs.
however, the wt is still digging in their heels about turning documents over to the charity commission.https://www.gov.uk/government/news/court-of-appeal-gives-judgment-in-court-case-by-jehovahs-witness-charityjudgment handed down by court of appeal in legal challenge to charity commission inquiry opened in 2014.today, the court of appeal handed down its judgment regarding the commission’s statutory inquiry, opened in 2014, into the watch tower bible and tract society of britain (the leading jehovah’s witness charity in the uk).

its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.
it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.
Lol. JWs have an inflated sense of themselves. Even some former JWs think too highly of the Borg. Going door to door is not required of any worshipers.
No one can stop people from worshipping God. Churches are not necessary for worship, be it true or false worship.
our last conversation was him yelling at me because i "loved the gays".
translation, i pointed out that nobody chooses their sexuality.
i've been shunned since daing last september, and really for a year or so after visiting my df'ed brother.
I'm glad you get some goodbye time with your dad. I hope your mom wakes up. She has backbone-that bodes well.
Why don't we all schedule memorials for our loved ones and invite non JW relatives and friends and JWs who actually want to remember our loved ones, rather than JWs who just want to control their memories even after death?
