can't help being impressed by similar profiles of our leolaia and that young british student, gail trimble, who won the university challenge on bbc 4: they both are linguistic scholars in latin and greek and, yes, they even look alike, imo.

HI Leolaia
University Challenge is a quiz programme between the Universities of the UK and yesterday was the final, each team has four members all of whom are students. The person to whom AR refers is self evidently very bright and as a result has made headlines for in the National newspapers here.
the california state board of equalization (the taxation department) defines the word "publisher" in the following manner.. "publisher" means and includes any person who owns the rights to produce, market, and distribute printed literature and information.. this is probably standard legal definition of the word and so we now know why the watchtower corporation chose it to describe the activities of the witnesses as they go door to door.
it is not to preach, but rather to distribute literature!.
the witnesses's are nothing more than literature distributers and they didn't even know it!.
Very interesting VM , the more i think the way the wts reasons the more obvious if becomes that the way that they reason is full of holes.

That tells me you are ill informed Farkel. The government does not bear arms at all, no private citizen is allowed to at all.
Members of government agencies are, and they are properly trained and regulated.
The fact members of the public no longer feel the need to carrry arms is of itself quite telling in how far we come as a society.

there was a poster named jt that i'd read and relate to.
he was very experienced and i very much respected his point of view.
he left all the praise and authority he had because he simply knew it was all a crock.
Warlock you are so so wrong about HS and you too Minimus, he is charming, caring and kind. If people are going to put forward arguments here and in person, should they mind having their assertions challenged, if sometimes in a somewhat robust fashion?
My friends whilst being very very different have two things in common, they are honest with me and are not afraid to challenge me; and that is the way i personally like it.
Surely that was the point of this thread ?

ps
BTS always makes me think but i do not always agree with him.
Besty too

One of the things Hilary enjoyed doing was to expose the arguments being put forward to intellectual rigour, something that is often lacking, both inside and outside the wts. For this he was occasionally exposed to rudeness and threats.
Was it me, or do others think that he was understood by Brits and Canadians, but rarely Americans?
Dansk for me laid his heart out here, and made me think

many of you have known my trials and tribs in this marriage for a looong time.
as i said recently i told him i was moving out.
well i went out and found a really nice place for myself and my two youngest.
Hope all goes well for you, life is to be enjoyed.
I am toward the end of my divorce as i have posted a little about here before, i found it a mixture of trepidation and liberating.

hester had opinions on pretty much everything, and one of the things i heard her pronounce upon over and over again were motor cars.. .
i must admit , this story isnt as funny as some of the other things she said, but its an interesting story nonetheless.. .
anyway, hester had firm views on cars: .
I have met such people as Hester and have experienced the same reaction as Dave, for the same reasons as Dave, trying to reason with the oh too wise. Funny eh?
When i became a little older and more clued up, i used to have fun gently winding them up., that was and is great fun, my father in law is like Hester, though not a jw

What statistics are you adducing as evidence Avashai and BTS ?
