  so, let me get this straight:.

  eliot spitzer threw away his career and the trust of his wife, this woman:.

  just for the privilege of paying thousands of dollars to have sex with this woman:.

  He thought he was missing something. It's that simple. He doesn't care about what he has, just about what else he can acquire.

  Can you count a bible study with a 2 year old?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  according to my friend, an elder said he could count 4 hours a month and a bible study if he talked about jehovah to his 2 year old son.. this would go some way to getting in his 10 hours a month as the elder said to my friend "the co won't look at anyone whose hours are less than 10.".

  ridiculous eh?.

  It's a sin to try to manipulate a 2 year olds mind. Shame on everyone who did that.

  As J.R. Brown once remarked: "If they're old enough to do bad, they're old enough to do good."

  Sin? Nope. Parental responsibility: get 'em before someone else does.

  Ecclesiastes 1:18 (Contemporary English Version)

  The more you know,

  the more you hurt;

  the more you understand,

  the more you suffer.

  So does this mean "ignorance is bliss?"

  Nahhhh, it doesn't mean ignorance is bliss! It's a warning! It doesn't say you have to *keep* hurting and/or suffering; it let's you know that with knowledge and understanding comes the need to find a way to make the hurting/suffering lessen or stop. Forewarned is forearmed...

  The best part about this video is the realization that we're all "even" when it comes to the future. If we choose to apply ourselves to learning we can improve our quality of life. Past "lost chances" don't matter, what matters are the choices we make here on out. Great video!

  DENTAL VENEERS (LAMINATES)

  by Gainer26 in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  ceramic veneers are all white, thin ceramic shells, which fit precisely onto the faces of prepared anterior teeth.

  like bonding, veneers are used to cover up discoloration, cracks and chipping, and to change the shape or size of your teeth.

  veneers outperform bonding with greater resilience and a greater resistance to stains and dulling.

  Dunno why gainer posted but I have questions about veneers...

  What happens when a person's gums recede due to age or a health condition? Won't there be a visible gap between the veneer and the gumline?

  How long are veneers expected to last? Can they be taken off and replaced if necessary?

  Does it make sense to have braces first, then veneers?

  Kids First? "I Believe that Children are the Future"....

  by SixofNine in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ....and that kids should come first.

  ok, who knows what michael jackson really believes about children, but generally speaking "worldly" people (sorry for the jw speak, but you know what i mean) indeed believe that "children are the future" and that "kids come first".

  often, "worldly" parents act accordingly, and their children thrive because of the life choices (often real sacrifices) the parents make.

  But JW's don't believe those things. And their children suffer because of it. JW's believe that someday soon, they'll be just as young and vital (read: important) as their own children.

  That's BS. You don't have anything to back up your accusations other than your own warped perspective.

  Hypocricy and Two Most Dangerous Expressions

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  nothing is more duplicitous than two expressions taught by their religious masters and used by dubs when all of their arguments have been demolished.. the first expression is "wait on jehovah.

  " the second is "they're just imperfect men.

  the first expression is used whenever lives are trashed by gb decisions and elder decisions and it is used when dub leaders are forced to admit that doctrinal garbage and ecclesiastical decisions are undeniably wrong.

  I've actually had this discussion with a branch member. His response was that not all people are as honest-hearted as I was, that Jehovah's enemies would twist whatever explanations would be offered.

  I countered with "Trust in Jehovah" but he said it just wouldn't work, that too many people would be hurt.

  I let him know just exactly what I thought of his faith *and* his organization.

  Why don't you just call the Post Office and ask them for information? Asking people on JWD isn't going to get you anything but opinions.

  re: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/146760/1.ashx.

  did it ever occur to any of you that blakeseeley and carlhernz could be separate people posting from the same computer?

  if they are then it follows that their vocabularies and writing styles may be similar; if one is a journalist (even part-time) perhaps the other is as well.. it could be that one is visiting the other; carlhernz said that blakeseeley was in florida at present but would be returning to texas soon.. why not step back, take a few deep breaths...and unlock that thread?.

  To JeffT:

  One of the things about families is members get to treat each other in ways that won't be tolerated from an outsider.

  I believe that's called "abuse".

  To Angharad:

  What about the OTHER TWO accounts that are using this IP address that have very similar usernames AND emails addresses?

  Who knew? That wasn't public information at the time of my writing.

  To Simon, a simple if then statement:

  The combination of technical things not making sense PLUS a story with more holes in it than an episode of Dallas and requests for people to send personal information = someone up to no good.

  If this is the case then it really is the end of the story.
