I always found it odd that our area had windowless Halls...and if they had windows they were faux and you couldn't see outside. Always made me wonder if they were designed so JW's wouldn't get distracted by activities outside. I also remember my non-JW relatives commenting on the lack of windows in KH's. Maybe it was just a CA thing...

I have an iPad 2 and my wife has a Dell Streak. They both have their pros and cons. First off, I would consider a 3G/4G enabled tablet...though it works great on wifi, you aren't always in a place that has wifi available and then your tablet is worthless for internet or mail. iPad is very well made, stable, great screen, 3g can be bought "on demand" with no monthly commitment, good apps and e-mail integration. The downside is that it has no storage capability (you have to send documents to e-mail to save), is quit costly and doesn't support Flash (so some websites won't work). The Streak is very affordable, supports 3G and 4G (in the US, T-Mobile supports the device), has a memory card slot, uses Android operating system and is easy to carry. The downside is 7" screen, lower than average battery life, Android OS is more glitchy than iOS and if you need to synch with Outlook, it is nearly impossible to do so without a third party program requiring you to tether to your computer to synch. If you are on MS Exchange Server, either device synchs wirelessly. Having used both, I prefer the iPad today...if Android stabilizes their OS a bit more, I would probably look at a high quality, fast processor Android tablet.

it is in the nature of man to want to have more than one woman.. a man cannot help himself.

he was born that way.. if it was legal, men would have multiple wives, two, three, maybe ten if he could afford it.. that's all.. jdw .

Question...?

by cptkirk in

does anyone come into this religion who is doing well in life?

not to say any one particular person never did well in life, but when they were studying and getting baptized, at that particular time in their life, were things going good for them?.

i'm trying to figure out if anyone comes into this religion, while life is going good for them.

I knew several...I think it depends on the location of the congregation. If it is in Beverly Hills, the chances are better that the person is well to do...if it is in an economically deprived area, I would guess it unlikely.
