by DIM inlast night at meeting, the circuit overseer said in his talk "and there has even been talk of hiv / aids tainted blood that has slipped through the screening process in the aftermath of the world trade center bombing, contaminating the survivors of the tragedy.
can you imagine, surviving the world trade center bombing, then finding out you have contracted hiv?
" he made no references to any newspapers or where he got this information from.

Sounds like complete and utter bullshit. there is no way this is true.

A New Breed Of JW Emerging?
by Englishman inis there a new breed of jw emerging, i wonder?.
i know that there are lots of real brainwashed dubs around who see demons behind every car boot sale item and who scuttle off to the elders with every bit of tittle-tattle imaginable, but, i think that there is a new type of dub who quietly does just as he / she pleases.. this is what i think: many of the long-serving jw's who have seen the 1975 failure and the 1914 generation change are now approaching old age with something of a jaundiced eye, and are choosing to do their own thing in their remaining years.
in conversations i am picking up it seems that the elders are being regarded somewhat derisively by many jw's.

listen, i'm at work, no bible handy. (a) its all speculation anyway and (b) i really don't care. BUT - I think there could be a basis to argue that it is referring to birthdays when it says "each on their own day" or something like that. What do YOU think its talking about?

Pros and Cons about Jehovah's Witnesses
by Leander inthe purpose of this post is to try take a close but un-biased look at whether or not jehovahs witnesses are the right religion.
in my few months of doing research about jw's outside of their own publications i've came across a wide variety of viewpoints.
some people are skeptical or unsure if the wts is really the right religion, some are certain that jw's are wrong but have no ill-feelings toward them, some individuals downright hate the organization and still others are certain that the wts is the real deal.

pros - the late teens, early 20's pioneer sisters wear revealing clothing and usually will get involved in sexual activity
cons - 1/2 of these sisters will be plauged by JW Guilt Syndrome and turn themselves into the elders

Letter from gb?
by FreeFallin ini'm assuming by now every jw knows that the watchtower was associated with the un (altho they may not know about the current disassociation).
i've heard it said that they were merely registered with the un to aid in the preaching work.
how did they, or any individaul witness come to that conclusion.

I think it is far from common knowledge right now. Most JW's in my area don't know anything about it.
