Freedom by the USA Government?

by frankiespeakin in

jw
friends

lets see they slaughtered the indians that live on this land, wiped out the buffalo which starved many to death, put them on reservations, reduced many of them to poverty.. and now the us government has the biggest military in the world that cost its tax payers plenty and no government health care.

kind of makes you wonder if freedom is just a 4 letter word with dom added on.. not only that but they have spent trillions$$ on weapons of mass destruction, they have the biggest stock pile of nuclear weapons that can kill all life on earth several times over.

and if i refuse to pay my taxes because i don't like the government is wasting so much money on the military, i will get thrown in prision, and if they want to they can use the patriot act to torture me, refuse me a fair trial.

So what do you suggest? Armed revolt?
I suggest you move to the country that meets your ideals.

This sounds like a good suggestion to me....you'll be happier elsewhere.

Manchester UK to Oxford (Assistance Please)

by JW_Researcher in

jw
friends

if you have knowledge about travel in the uk, i'd appreciate your assistance.. i need to get from the manchester airport to oxford.

when i look at the train website (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/index.html) i see there are trains that run frequently and seem to be inexpensive enough.. is that the best way to travel?

i don't want to rent a car.

JW_Researcher

Thank you for the link regarding the bus and the warning about the trip on the bus. I don't like the bus as it can make me a bit car sick if I can't see straight ahead.

Flying to London might be an option also but I think I'll simply take the train and enjoy the countryside.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Greetings,

If you have knowledge about travel in the UK, I'd appreciate your assistance.

I need to get from the Manchester airport to Oxford. When I look at the train website ( http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/index.html ) I see there are trains that run frequently and seem to be inexpensive enough.

Is that the best way to travel? I don't want to rent a car. Any other suggestions?

Is there anything I need to know about the trains? Should I purchase tickets before I go or just buy them on site?

Thanks for any ideas.

What Pastor Russell Wrote for the Overland Monthly!----Originals!

by Atlantis in

what pastor russell wrote for the overland monthly!

one researcher wrote to us asking if we knew where he could find the "originals" of the overland monthly in order to do some research.

we wrote back to him and sent him the links to the originals and thought other researchers might want these links also.

Thank you very much!

Watchtower & Awake mags need leaked to the net

by drew sagan in

jw
friends

just wondering if anybody out there still get the mags and is able to leak them to the internet.

just the other day i realized that i haven't looked at a new watchtower or awake in months.

i think it's pretty funny that on this board elders letters and things from hq get leaked, but the literature doesn't seem to make its way around.

JW_Researcher

Instead of hosting PDFs on a site to download from why not just have a handful of "apostates" who are willing to email PDFs to anyone who asks for a copy?

I'd be happy to assist. If someone would snail mail them to me I could scan and e-mail a PDF to others who are interested for research or review purposes, or other "fair use" purposes.

Academic Survey: Ex-JW Participants Needed

by JW_Researcher in

im conducting an exploratory survey for a methodology class.. there are 20 questions.

all answers are strictly confidential.. neither i nor anyone else will be able to identify a survey participant.

no ip address will be logged.

JW_Researcher

I'm in. I think. I may have broken the "submit" thingie. It doesn't seem to want to accept my answers. Seriously. It won't accept my answers.
Frannie

Sorry Frannie. I'm certain it's nothing personal. Sometimes the site is as fast as lightening. Other times fairly slow.

The only work-around that I can come up with (someone from the board did this so I didn't really "come up with it") is to complete the form, "select all" (right click anywhere on page), and paste it into an e-mail to me. My regular e-mail address is at the top of the survey form. I will enter the data and destroy the e-mail.

OBVIOUSLY this is not for everyone. If you're trying to stay anonymous, please don't send me an e-mail. I noticed the site is quicker in the morning also.

I have no idea how many surveys they are running this weekend so....it may simply be near its capacity.

Thank you for trying.

Competition Between the Ex-JW boards ?

by JW_Researcher in

jw
friends

please excuse my ignorance regarding this.. i posted a solicitation for this little survey i'm doing here .

http://kent.steinhaug.no/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4910.

a poster named "queen beetle" got all excited because the title of the survey referenced jwd which she couldn't (evidently) bring herself to type out (using "xxx" instead).. i explained why i named it jwd but...i sensed some animosity (color me sensitive).. do some folks have a problem with jwd?

JW_Researcher

I've lurked on many of these boards for more than two years. The opinion of some seems to be that JWD is for the uptight and self-righteous.

Thank you for the feedback. I guess that is my shortcoming, I'm really not familiar with the other boards. I was just a bit surprised that there was sniping going on between members of the "same side." Not a large bit surprised but surprised.

I also agree regarding the search box. Google with "site:www.jehovahs-witness.com [search term here]" (without the quotes and with the brackets and their contents being replaced with the actual search term) works reasonably well.
