Why you should not worry about Japan's nuclear reactor problems.
by beatthesystem ina nuclear reactor is built in such a way, that when operating normally, you take out all the moderator rods.
so if these radioactive materials are released into the environment, yes, radioactivity was released, but no, it is not dangerous, at all.
when the uranium splits, it generates a neutron (see above).

250,000 across Germany protest nuclear power
Tens of thousands of people Saturday turned out in Germany's largest cities to protest the use of nuclear power in the wake of Japan's Fukushima reactor disaster, police and organizers said.
By JUERGEN BAETZ
The Associated Press
BERLIN — Tens of thousands of people on Saturday turned out in Germany's largest cities to protest the use of nuclear power in the wake of Japan's Fukushima reactor disaster, police and organizers said.
In Berlin alone more than 100,000 took to the capital's streets to urge Germany's leaders to immediately abolish nuclear power, police spokesman Jens Berger said.
Organizers said some 250,000 people marched at the "Fukushima Warns: Pull the Plug on all Nuclear Power Plants" rallies in the country's four largest cities, making them the biggest anti-nuclear protest in the country's history.
"We can no longer afford bearing the risk of a nuclear catastrophe," Germany's environmental lobby group BUND said.
The disaster in Japan triggered Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative government last week to order a temporary shutdown of seven of the country's older reactors pending thorough safety investigations.
Officials have since hinted several of them might never go back into service.
Protesters shouted "Fukushima, Chernobyl: Too much is too much!" or "Switch them off," urging the government to shut the country's 17 reactors for good.
They also held a minute of silence to remember the victims of Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
In the northern port city of Hamburg, 40,000 turned out and more than 30,000 were on the streets in southern Munich, police said. Cologne police did not provide a figure and referred to the organizer's estimate of 40,000 protesters.
BUND, in turn, said some 120,000 turned out in Berlin, 50,000 in Hamburg and 40,000 in Cologne and Munich each.
Saturday's turnout easily topped rallies last April after safety incidents at a northern German nuclear-power plant near Hamburg that had seen 140,000 people taking to the streets, BUND spokesman Thorben Becker said.
Nuclear power has been unpopular in Germany ever since radioactivity from the 1986 Chernobyl disaster drifted across the country.
A center-left government a decade ago penned a plan to abandon the technology by 2021, but Merkel's government last year amended it to extend the plants' lifetime by an average of 12 years.
In a complete U-turn, the government has now put that plan on hold.
The cascade of failures at Japan's Fukushima plant has reignited the political debate on the use of nuclear power in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, and many opposition lawmakers have called to shut all reactors before 2020.
Germany — which stands alone among the wold's leading industrialized nations in its determination to overcome nuclear power — currently gets 23 percent of its energy supply from its reactors. -

Do You Truly Believe A Certain Politician Or Political Party WILL Bring About Real Change?
by minimus insoooo many thought obama was the savior and now scores of people are abandoning him and his policies.
the pendulum swings and you hear how we need a republican to bail us out of our mess.. do you really believe a single person or party can make the changes for the country or the world ?

When being so upset with current politics why not join and make your own change? Because it is easier to sit in front of a computer screen typing how bad politics are?

Thought Control (A simple test for JW's)
by TD inin george orwell's novel 'nineteen eighty-four' the capitulation of the principal protagonist is portrayed in his willingness to assent to the proposition that two and two make five.
once he had denied objective reality, his mental conquest was complete and he was no longer truly the master of his own mind.
nineteen eighty-four is in many ways, a very depressing read.. a charge commonly leveled at jehovah's witnesses is that the type of mind control envisioned by orwell has been and continues to be used on them.

For the multiple choice questions it might be a good idea to start with some examples from other religions like mormons that a JW can decide freely on. Then go on with the JW examples and see what the mind does with this dissonance.

I was on a fairground with some fellow JW. I went to a mission's booth to discuss with them. They told me about Raymond Franz and CoC. I was angry that these guys knew more about my religion and started to search for Raymond Franz's book. I start to read the chapters in a public library, later I bought it via the internet. However, it took me more about 10 years to get out after that.

Jehovah's Witnesses are a sad lot
by garyneal inmy wife is a baptized publisher and i guess everything is going okay for the moment.
i believe that slowly the love bombing is beginning to wane now that she is in.
her mother, of course, is still sending 'encouragement' now that she is dedicating her life to jehovah the organization.. but, of course, the tests are coming forward and my wife is trying to 'endure to the end.'.

I read her Job 1:4 in the Living Translation of the Bible, sure enough it says birthday. Her translation says own day
Then show her Job 3:1,2:
It was after this that Job opened his mouth and began to call down evil upon his day. 2 Job now answered and said:
3 “Let the day perish on which I came to be born,
