  jwsons posted about a pro -jw site called 'jehovah's witnesses united' (sounds like a new football team to me).. on the thread - 'anyone know about this jw tool?'..

  i was having a look and came across a jw glossary.

  these folks have made up a serious glossary of language used by jws!

  Jocelyn Elders was put on the spot in a question-and-answer session, in which she was asked if sex education programs should include discussions on masturbation. She did not go out and say "I think we should add masturbation to the program" but did answer the question with something along the lines of "yes, a proper program should include everything, including that". What else COULD she say? Once the press got hold of this, they presented it as "Surgeon General wants classes in masturbation taught..." and so on.

  The president did ask her to step down after this, even though it was hardly justification for her removal. She SHOULD have been fired for having the most annoying speaking voice of all time, if for nothing else.

  Complete reversal: from Witness to atheist

  by Ephanyminitas in

  i'm pretty new here (five minutes old!

  ) and i'm curious: how many have left the organization and, in time, become athiests.

  i was raised in the organization, so growing up, my thinking was -- of course -- stifled.

  I began the fade right after I was married in 1976. I attended one memorial when my daughter was about one year old, which would put it around 1981 or 82. Aside from my mother's funeral talk in 1993, that was my last time at a Kingdom Hall.

  Do You Love Telemarketers???

  by LB in

  ok, i'm getting worn out from these guys.

  i always tell them to never call again and some do take me off the list.

  it seems they are getting more agressive.

  Several states, New York for example, have initiated do-not-call registries in which you can ask to be listed. Once there, telemarketers must check your number against the list before calling and face a fine if you are on it and they still call you. There are exceptions to it, for example I believe that charities and political campaigns can still call.

  I live in RI, and a bill is in the works to institute such a list here. There is considerable pressure from the telemarketing industry against it, since there are many call centers located here.
