what is the wbts policy on jury duty?
are they allowed to participate?.
i've been called to go on january 2nd, to be active throughout the entire month of january, but i can't afford to be off work for only $15 a day.
My mom got out of it twice by stating that she could not pass judgement onto others in accordance to her religious beliefs. I got a good laugh over that one, my mom is the most judgemental JW you would ever come across. So she pretty much lied to the judge. She got pissd when I asked her how long she has been practicing situational honesty?
They really hate it when you point out thier flaws.
it is believed that antienct man may have known about the great bear constellion as far back as 20,000 years ago.. therefore did noah use the constellion to navigate his ark?.
He certainly would have had to use the great bear star to navigate. Those pre-Isrealite nautical charts drawn on dried yak skins were notoriously inaccurate.
i was roaming around on watchtower.org today because... well... it's a couple hours until anything good comes on, and i've watched all the animaniacs on youtube.com, so... you know how it is... .
anyway, i found this article on the bible interesting.
note what it says about how great the bible is: .
The global flood and the ark is some very interesting fiction. I am amazed at how many people not to metion JW's believe the story. That is what started me in questioning the entire bible. It only went down hill from there.
i was watching a interesting documentary on the ark of the covenant this weekend and had an interesting thought.. when moses went up on the mountain to get the 10 commandment the iseralites got tired of waiting and made a golden calf to worship.
when moses got back and saw this he was outraged and had allot of them killed because of this.. now consider this.
after receiving the 10 commandments (which forbid idol worship) they build a box, cover it with gold, put 2 statues of angels on the lid, and place the 10 commandments inside.
Here is a whole list of them.

my husband and i are throwing around the idea of moving to a different state.
nothing is set in stone yet, but some changes in his career may allow for us to move wherever we like in the u.s. i love washington state, but i would like to move somewhere a little warmer.
i've lived in washington all my life and i need a little help in learning about the rest of the u.s.. so convince me to move to your state.
If you do move out of washington please try to take at several hundred with you. Preferably out of the King County area. Good luck and I can't blame you for getting out. It not the great state it once was thirty years ago.
all bs and religion aside we've all heard the demon stories of the witnesses but has anyone actually had an personal experience such that you can't explain with your rational mind that shocked you and may lend credence to the possibility of something paranormal.
not something hyped, or emotional,but something your gut told you is just couldn't happen and did?
The sock demons are the worst!!! They only steal one of each color knowing that we will waste precious time looking for the other. They are the purest forms of evil. We also have to be careful, they dont like to be called demons, they prefer "mortality challenged americans".
i do alot of blacksmithing and machining which requires alot of specialty tools.
so when i run across a simpler and easier metal working project i like to give them a try also.
if you have access to any any pre-1964 50 cent pieces this is a simple but cool project to try.
I didn't know until yesterday. Almost finished one for my daughter that is from a 1902 indian head nickel. The nickel was badly worn so it has no numismatic value. I was starting the final polish tonight and our power went out. The generator is in my shop so I can't be in there while it is running.
It took an hour to make with a planishing hammer that weighs 14 oz. so I can only imagine how long it would take with a spoon.
does anyone have a scan of the new blood card released in the us?.

I had completely forgotten about those. I remember now tearing mine up and burning it. This was my mini ceremonial parting of ways with the J-bots.
What a pleasant flashback!
i have had sinus problems my entire life, recently a friend told me about this sinu-cleanse thing, its a sinus cleansing treatment that you can get at cvs pharmacy, its pretty cool, its a little pot that you mix warm water with saline solution and put in one nostral and it drains out the other, the first time i used it i had a bad sinus head ache and thought well i will give this thing a try, so i mixed it up and did the treatment, blood clots and pink then red water started coming out of my nose, and after i noticed my headache was gone, i could breath great, and felt a lot less pressure in my head.
this thing is pretty awesome!
just thought i share with all of you.. sorry if its a bit gross.
There isn't enough water to actually drown, it will just feel like that in your sinuses. But I am willing to bet that most people will say the relief far out weighs the temp. discomfort.
