Back in the day I'm pretty sure I was told that the JW's believe that the world was surrounded by a water barrier before the flood which caused the Earth's climate to be 'greenhouse like'. I was lead to believe that there were no polar ice caps before the flood. Is there anything in the JW literature archive which alludes to this theory or was I just told something not supported by the Society?

This dude seems to have the ideal mindset of a witness. Getting excited about absolutely nothing. Reading significance into things which cannot possibly have any significance.

Specific TV, Film, Music or Computer Game references deemed inappropriate?
by veen ini was down the pub tonight and my sister said she went to see 'sex and the city' in the cinema.
i gave a lol and said the title of the film sounds just like something which would be specifically singled out at 'inappropriate for true christians' in a district assembly talk just because of it's title.. .
immediately everyone started having a go saying that what i said sounded like the criticisms of an apostate and if i went to assemblies or meetings or read the literature anymore i would know that they don't single out specific shows etc anymore.. .

I'm pretty sure I remember remarks or articles relating to 'Doom' the computer game, 'Grand theft auto' the computer game. Either 'Dallas' or 'Dynasty' specifically being mentioned, along with all 'soap operas' being considered unsuitable. 'Rap and Heavy Metal' also had a hard time and I seem to remember the band Motley Crue being specifically mentioned.
Can you think of any other examples, references would be ideal, of such specifics? Cheers.

I heard the talk twice. Once in Spain then again in the UK a year later, though I'm pretty sure they were both later than the date specified.

I just came from my elder's meeting
by BonaFide injust to review, i had my meeting today with the two elders who say a sister has accused me of "grinding" with her and thus porneia.
so i printed out several of your comments on how to defend myself.
i felt good about standing my ground, and repeating that i had not "grinded" with this ex-friend and that she wants to ruin the relationship i have now with the sister i am dating.. however, the two elders today really tried to pressure me.

Surely this guy knows what the deal is. Were he a regular shmoe this wouldn't be as big a deal, but a CO? Come on man. It's completely ridiculous that an adult human being can get into hot water for engaging in a totally natural activity. What I reckon has happened is this, these sisters have all tried to bag this dude because let's face it, in the weird and wonderful world of the JW he would be a trophy husband. They probably weren't interested that much in the slap and tickle at the time but were just pulling out all the stops to show him how up for it they were. In my neck of the woods it's the norm for you to instantly marry the first person you kiss at a party, and so these girls are probably just getting their revenge because he didn't play by the expected rules.
