  ........that everything that you have ever written and posted online is there for an eternity and will be accessible for your great grandchildren to read.

  "hey mom, listen to what great-grandad said about our great forefather vishnu mohammed bush - he called him a colon hole".

  be careful what you write.

  Thanks Gopher and Snowbird. You could safely bet your last dollar or euro that there was more involved than access to a library.

  Who decides what is "correct"? This is why the the USA (not USSA!) has the first amendment...

  Examples Of Denying Freedom Of Speech
  Evidence of this effect is amply demonstrated by the Soviets, who embraced Political Correctness with the Communist Revolution. The lumbering, pompous, impoverished, humourless monster this Nation became is now History. And it should be remembered that in 1914 Tsarist Russia was considered by Edmund Cars, a French economist who then published a book about the subject, to be an economic giant set to overshadow Europe. The SBS television program "What Ever Happened To Russia", which was broadcast at 8.30 pm on 25th August 1994, detailed the terrible effect the Bolshevik's oppression had on their empire. And SBS further detailed the terrible crimes inflicted upon the Russians by their leader Stalin, in the series "Blood On The Snow" broadcast in March 1999.

  I have had this question since first hearing of their (wts) affiliation with the UN (or NGO blah blah). Other than library priviledes what else was involved?

  Seems like there would've had to be more in it for them to join bunch of dictators/money grubbers, and risk having it become public.

  List Reasons Why YOU Would NEVER Go Back To The "Truth"

  by minimus in

  i recently saw my jw brother and sil and listened to them talk about poor sister sick(o) who has been diagnosed with major mental problems.

  she went to the doctor's and the doctor supposedly began to berate her out of the blue because she is a jehovah's witness.

  now the family wants to have the doctor formally rebuked for his so called "discriminatory comments".

  I don’t think that I could handle the way that it encroaches on your life, takes over your life, challenges your free choice, even takes away your own desires to the point that when you do finally leave you don’t even know what you want to do with your life and riddles you with guilt.

  I'd crack up laughing the first time some elder made some inappropriate 'inquiry', or someone said, "I didn't see you at the mtg/assembly" . Besides that, everything everyone else here said. The control wouldn't work at all.

  PROGRESSIVE - CONSERVATIVE watch this space

  by stillajwexelder in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i keep hearing - recently at a circuit assembly and also in the new jan 15th wt the phrase - progressive.. now i know people will argue that the gb are very conservative and not progressive but we (active jws) keep being asked are we progressive?

  this is because of all the changes (progression) vs. continuation of the past.

  we all know changes have been made and are on the way - some have been announced officially but i truly believe the rank and file are being [prepared for yet more changes - hence progressive as the phrase of the moment.

  The Peoples Progressive Truth(TM) Generator says:

  "Roller Dave, you are an exploiting corporate criminal because you think that Western society has had a positive effect on civilization!"

  So there!

  As far as the WT being conservative, I've been reading the literature that was given me a few months back by a brother I knew when I used to attend. I was surprised to see some of the rags they quoted. Pretty lefty sources, IMO.

  And as usual "progressive", in this case, really means going backwards.

  sorry, couldn't resist!

  Wow! Nobel Winner Says Blacks Less Intelligent

  by Justitia Themis in

  http://www.cnn.com/2007/tech/science/10/18/science.race/index.html.

  a british museum has canceled a lecture by dr. james watson, co-discoverer of the dna double helix, after he claimed black people are less intelligent than whites in a recent newspaper interview.. watson, who won the 1962 nobel prize for his part in discovering the structure of dna, provoked a storm of criticism after his comments were published in the sunday times.. the eminent biologist told the british newspaper he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours -- whereas all the testing says not really.".

  watson, 79, had been due to give a lecture at london's science museum on friday but the museum canceled his appearance, saying his comments had "gone beyond the point of acceptable debate.".

  The Nobel Prize is much overrated, Jimmy Carter won it (!?!) and so did this guy... (and oh yeah, don't forget that Prince of Peace Arafat)
