Visited Beth Sarim today

my sister in law has been shunned by the family since she da'd herself at the age of 18 and moved out of the house.

i always insisted that my wife keep in contact with her and made sure she knew she had a soft place to land,with us, should she need it.

even at the risk of it getting us in hot water with the pioneer,elder,bethelite family members there was no way we were going to let her disappear into the wild blue yonder on her own.

2. beliefs
here are some questions that i thought would be interesting to ask a jw if they were open to a free and open discussion.

this assumes a christian worldview that the bible is the word of god.

if you have any others, please post them!

Fukushima nuclear reactor cores have melted into the ground!
by moshe in

a newly released scientific study (done some time ago) on a similar tva ge mk1 reactor has determined the uncovered reactor core would have melted through the steel reactor vessel and over 20ft of concrete containment floor in 15 hours-the 500+ degree air temperatures would have melted and blown out all the conduit and pipe seals going into the containment building allowing a free escape of radiation to the atmosphere.

they are still trying to keep the spent fuel pools covered in water and prevent the used fuel rods from catching on fire- that is a separate disaster.. .
