  here's the link to the whole story in the sydney herald-sun newspapaper http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5478,9056641^661,00.html.

  my question -- what was this jw doing with the koran in his leather bag?.

  according to information seen by the herald sun, an unidentified passenger passed a brown leather bag through the departures screening machine, and walked off into the departure lounge without picking it up.

  Hi Scully

  I think he`d much more to explain if they`d found CD`s with rap or heavy metal music in his bag;-)

  i grew up on alpine ski's, took up snowboarding for a while, until it got incredibly boring, and now i've been into tele-skiing for about five years now.

  i just love it!

  before my accident, i could jump-telemark nearly any slope.

  Should cannibalism be allowed? What do you think?

  by Kenneson in

  the following article appeared in the jan. 25, 2004 sunday visitor.

  please read and add your comments.. "sins of the flesh: consenting adults".

  "the libertarian argument that 'what goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults is no one else's business'--a line used to justify everything from sodomy to pornography to artificial contraception--is being put to the test in a courtroom in the german capital of berlin.. "it seems that armin meiwes, 42, a computer geek from rotenburg, had a fantasy for cannibalism.

  Should cannibalism be allowed?

  Oh yes, of course.

  But only for those people who eat themselves.

  see "serena's next game.

  sidelined by knee surgery, the tennis champ talks about life off the court--including her acting career.".

  I had a conflict with you, xjw-b12 (regarding "brigadoon") - but in this matter you are quite right.
  
  Regarding Venus: It`s the typical "Michael-Jackson-Syndrome" in the beginning status. I often could watch this phenomenon, when JW`s became rich, or well-known in medias, or managers, or doctors or champions in sports and so on...

  Were You Afraid of Dying at Armageddon?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing jehovah's witnesses do is they try to make their adherents feel afraid.

  fear is a major reason to go to meetings, out in service, personal study, etc.

  jws are always talking about the great tribulation and armageddon.

  Who will be the next one?? Oh yes, I am afraid of dying too. Who will rescue me?

  puternut wrote

  I am familiar with Brigadoon's post, and merely ignored the posts he made, due to the fact that they were accusatory. But by no means was I harrased by him.

  I can feel the pain in your heart. Please believe me. In my congregation 3 JW`s ended in suicide within last 15 years. I know what`s wrong.
  
  But this is the one side of the medal. I cannot imagine how the JWD-board would do all things much more better. When a member of this board get kicked in the ass because he only is writing his own opinion in a manner usual in democratic systems (without embarrassing or offending someone) - HOW can they say they are better than the WTS-org? They make the same mistakes. Isn`t it so, puternut?
  
  Do you remember the particular points in brigadoons postings? Could you write it down? I have no idea at all. When investigating said topic: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/65432/1.ashx one only can read "removed", "removed", removed".... x-times..
  
  Maybe its only a misunderstanding. Please help us to clarify the case.

  The Watchtower Attendance Crisis

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the average congregation has about 83 publishers in the us, then the organization may be sinking into a crisis.. take that 83 and consider that half the congregations may have less.. take away '15 minute publishers' who don't attend.

  take away completely fake publishers who rarely attend.

  take away increasingly tired publishers who 'feel sick', are depressed, or just want to stay at home and watch tv.. .

  Unless some world disaster happens - to get Witnesses panicking back to the Kingdom Hall - the Society will be faced with shutting down lots of congregations - that can't function anymore.

  Thats absolutely correct.

  Sorry, but I cannot understand this point.
  
  Imagine the facts: someone in this board had demanded to delete and push out ALL post one ever wrote ("brigadoon"). The good and the bad. The WTS-friendly and the WTS-critisizing post. All together into the same filth pail.
  
  I do not understand this policy. Sorry, really not.
