with all those nukes out there, and all the countries that have them or are making them.
do you think it is something we should expect, that in our lifetime a nuclear weapon will be used in war or an act of terrorism?
i personally think it is possible, and i think it would be the middle east that would see this happening.
Unfortunately, yes. If not an actual nuclear bomb, perhaps a "dirty bomb", that is, a conventional explosive device used to scatter radioactive material that could contaminate an area for possibly hundreds of years.
If and when this happens the retaliation against the perps. will be like nothing ever seen before.
soccer could be played without using a ball and nobody would notice.
come on, an hour and a half of watching a big pinball machine, with players falling down writhing in fake agony trying to get bogus fouls called?
endless arguing with refs over tedious rules violations.
Soccer could be played without using a ball and nobody would notice. Come on, an hour and a half of watching a big pinball machine, with players falling down writhing in fake agony trying to get bogus fouls called? Endless arguing with refs over tedious rules violations. And the big payoff? Games that end 0-0, or 1-1. Wow. I'd rather watch golf.
i thought i would open up a thread on firearms and shooting.
personally i was raised around firearms as my dad was not a jw.
some of my earliest memories are of my dad teaching me how to put a round in a fleas ass at 200 meters.
The only firearm I own is a twelve gauge Mossburg with Pachmyr black rubber pistol & pump grips. Also known as a 'street sweeper'. I used to have a couple of nice handguns but with 5 kids in the house I thought I'd be better off with something they wouldn't be able to load a shell in the chamber let alone get the safety off and shoot it.
It gives me a feeling of some protection in case kid-a and his brother ever come around and tell me to "get out of those little panties and squeal like a pig."
in case you missed it, blondie has more posts than anyone on jwd now.
i believe her watchtower summary is one of the best weekly items we look for.
plus she's one of the sharpest persons on the board.
Yay, Blondie! A great resource for this site. Your dissection of the weekly WT study is invaluable.

in not certain if it was in the us or cnada - accents sounded like southern us but it might have been east canada
I hate it when I get cut in half by a train!
They are doing amazing things with microsurgery these days. If it was his legs they might be able to reattach them. Anything higher and ? bad news.
.

Wow, that gives me the shivers! Crosswise or lengthwise? Lucky to be alive? I'm not so sure about that.
i see the excitement and thrill when a jw gets nailed for pedophilia.
i'm happy when any of these creeps get caught.
but i just don't think that this is what will bring down the organization.
Bring it down? No.
But embarassment, lawsuits and $ settlements, unguarded responses like JR Browns that will haunt them, fence sitters finally jumping out, possible recruits that will never happen, XJWs energized and motivated, it goes on and on. It's ALL GOOOD.
Another reason it won't be brought down, the rank and file that simply will not allow it because their miserable lives are too entwined in it to ever allow it. They'll call it persecution and let it go at that.
just called their media line:.
http://www.jw-media.org/contact.htm.
asked a young man named bryce where is the official press release on the cano pedophile situation.
I bet there are a few DF'd witnesses who would have loved to have known this stuff before they were DF'd for asking embarassing questions about the WTS inconsistencies.
it's the top news at http://wcbstv.com/topstories/local_story_178173758.html .
see "boy in minister sex scandal speaks to cbs.
investigators compiling mountain of evidence against suspect.
I may have missed it but has anyone brought this story to the attention of Bill O'Reilly of Fox? He has given a lot of focus to child sex abuse cases on his program.
