  Some scientists say this:

  Glass is an amorphous solid. A material is amorphous when it has no long-range order, that is, when there is no regularity in the arrangement of its molecular constituents on a scale larger than a few times the size of these groups. [...] A solid is a rigid material; it does not flow when it is subjected to moderate force.

  Others state that glass is void of a crystalline structure and therefore is considered a liquid.

  I believe it depends on what temperature we are talking about. Average glass melts completely at 1400-1600 degrees C. Some melt as low as 500 degrees C.

  My kids says emphatically that it is in fact a liquid. I thought this was interesting.

  Ask your parents for help (including room and board). Cut up the credit cards. Get a higher paying job or extra hours. Cut costs. Buy a 5 dollar pair of rabbit ears. No eating out and look for discounted day old foodstuffs (we do and it's perfectly good).

  Does it matter whether you bought into it?

  by tall penguin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my time on the boards and my personal experience, it seems to me that those who really bought into what the org taught, in other words, tried to be a "good little jw", have a harder time when they discover it's all crap as compared to those who perhaps were "fringe" jw's or those who were living a "double life" or had doubts for a while.

  he had been having doubts for a while and had been perusing jwd four years before he left.

  he also had a more "normal" time as a teenager as he lived a "double life".

  Bethal Open Day

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  useless information: my bethalite sister excitedly tells me that they are having a massive open day next week at the local bethal... all neighbouring homes and businesses and their service providers etc have been invited and they will be providing tours and catering lunches etc.

  wonder what they think they will achieve - a mass conversion when people see what bethal is like or something?

  my mother always seems to think that once folk see bethal, they can't but believe that this must be the "truth".

  the loving elders came by and asked me to come back to the hall with my family.

  they sincerely believe that the end is near.

  these changes are evidence of it.

  Forced Blood Transfusion = Rape!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can anyone please help me with these very important references, please?.

  with the case of the sextuplets in canada and the case of the woman in ireland being given blood and their descriptions of the transfusions as 'violations' and 'rape' could someone give me references from watchtower publications where the watchtower advises this description and approach to refusing blood transfusion?.

  this is really important, i can promise you and i do not have references or publications available to me except for the most recent.. thanks again!.

  Refusal of blood products by adults is a choice. Refusing adequate care and subsequent death of children and babys is murder. So much for being pro life. (Yet another contradiction of this society).
