Seriously Considering A Billboard Ad?

by laverite in

jw
friends

a full billboard ad in my area along a busy heavily travelled highway would cost about $500.

would probably get lots of attention and maybe even a news article, who knows.

$500 is cheap and easily affordable.

I'm not worried about Jehovah. It's his Witnesses that are a headache.

So I guess I'm a Witnophobe.

So an 8 year old is killed by a machine-gun and it's no ones fault?

i think us gun laws are s-t-u-p-i-d ... and the legal system more so.

saw a very good suggestion yesterday though - force people who want to own a gun to require insurance (hey, you have to have it for a vehicle for gods sake).

single-shot hunting rifle?

For our Canadian friends, the homosexual rights group Pink Pistols now has a chapter operating in your country.

Thanks. I do think it matters. We may agree to disagree on this issue, but at least here I am free to choose.

The pictures are from this excellent website run by a graphic artist:

TD you ask me what I am allowed to defend myself with in a public place, the simple answer is whatever is to hand

Well that sucks, especially if you are frail or feminine.

Surely what is needed is a debate in how to decrease violence, rather than demand rights.

Self defense is a human right.

This needs doing. If done right, it will get lots of eyeballs, plus news coverage. There is very little negative news coverage of the JWs in the US.

If done, it needs to be put up near JW headquarters.

sorry if that sounds harsh, but there is no example of an almighty Trinity, eternal and uncreated in any other religous belief.

The Hindu Trimurti/Tridevi seems to share some similarities.

LOL!

I had to look it up on wikipedia and piece together a sentence.

"nyam" for "eat" sounded suspiciously like Ñame (yams) which "we" eat a lot in our cuisine.

So I looked it up. Turns out that maybe there is a connection between the verb "nyam" and yams.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ñame

Although it is unclear which came first, the word yam is related to Portuguese inhame or Spanish ñame, which both ultimately derive from the Wolof word nyam, meaning "to sample" or "taste"; in other African languages it can also mean "to eat", e.g. yamyam and doya in Hausa or "to chew" in Dholuo language of the Luo of Kenya and Northern Tanzania.
