i reeceived an email today that said:.
we visited my parents in fl last weekend, and though they're still .
technically witnesses, they consider themselves double agents.

You have a point there. All latest installations of rotary offset machines I have been connected with are being run minimun two shifts, three if possible. Long gone is the time when second largest newspaper here did run its Harris for 30 minutes saleable a night and that was all. Rest of the day they kept polishing the baby.
In any case mere devotion to religion has very little or nothing to do with competence in graphic industry of today.
while doing a little surfing this morning, i stumbled onto this site.... http://home.earthlink.net/~michaelhenry/.
and while the information presented has been covered here before...i wanted to bring it up again, for the new members, and to all of us really.
even now, being "out" , i still wonder as i got to the doctors for various tests and proceedures, what if?
I had a serious accident about four years after my DF'n. While still recovering in hospital my JW mother visited me and told me that they had given me blood. She was the first one to tell me? She revealed that the source was a JW doctor who's name was familiar to me (but this man had nothing to do with my case), that my mother asked to check my file. The way my mother told this news was as this behavior of JW back scratching would be most natural way to go. I do not mind my mother knowing it, but she did not see anything wrong her asking and another JW prying out without authority nor the doctor.
No wonder I do not trust any of them back slappers anymore and I am ashamed I did for a while.
how common it is in usa that a jw has a legal firearms?
i have no recollection of wtbs publications handling this matter specifically.
of course general attitude towards firearms in usa is different from europe but so is also legislation.. it is just that once being a concsientious objector i cannot, even after almost 40 years, imagine myself having one.

Swiss are interesting exception because the possession of firearms is tied form of military duty. It would be interesting to know a JW stand in this setup.
Besides certain civil servats taxi drivers and certain private security workers for example can here apply for a permit to carry around an unconsealed firearm. My interest is a JW attitude, understanding that anybody is entitled here applying a permit. It will only be denied on certain grounds. I believe I would be eligible as well.
read this little story in a meditation book:.
a friend's son was in the first grade of school, and his teacher asked the class, "what is the color of apples?
" most of the children answered red.
In my garden is one of subspecies we call valkea kuulas (that would translate something like white translucent). When it is ripe it is as white outside than inside.
The moral of the story to me is... Do not ask questions unless you know what you are talking about.

Thanks for the quote which was easy to guess although I was DF'd about 30 years ago. My question was inspired because this recent incident and I know this is truly a hot issue to ask about.

In spite of road accidents I assume that one can own car without intention to kill. I just wonder what the death toll would amount up to if motor vehicles would be used primarily for fun and pleasure as much as guns?
Undecided
If I am not grossly mistaken carrying a sword, open or concealed, is regulated pretty well over this continent. At least in Finland you are better to have a good explanation even carrying a standard knife in your pocket in suspicious situation. If this knife found in your bootleg you are already in trouble.

It is not everybody that will take up hunting just for the thrill of killing animals. Those hunting seasons here used to be quite wet and people did hurt others and outsiders but nowadays hunters are quite sober except the ones that prey birds. And what comes to self defence I have heard a quote that in USA the chance to get hurt from your own gun or from gun of ones familiar outnumbers well the chance of getting hurt from a gun of total stranger.
Amazing
These issues are difficult because to start with this word freedom has a different meaning there and here.

It is just part of this famous theocratic was strategy where what one says differs from what one does. Some people do consider this behavior as lying or hypocrisy.

of course none of you are going to believe this is the cause of all the sudden activity on the board tonight, but regardless i'm going to post it anyway.
as having done research work into the effects of geomagnetic pulsations on the human brain in motivational research (as well as many other scientists) i know that whenever there is a rapid increase in the solar wind speed, it is a strong indication of world wide geomagnetic activity happening.
what happens in turn is that your brain, the outer layers or cerebral cortex, becomes more easily stimulated.
Mindchild
Mixing radiation, solar wind speed, geomagnetism and human brain probably sells well. One could intensify sales argumentation by grafting Schumann resonance to this whole shebang. I am a strong believer in magnetic fields. Furthermore I believe that ordinary earphones, HiFi&radio loudspeakers, telephone earpieces, mobile phones, TV vertical&horizontal deflection, PC monitors, fluorescent ballast chokes, amongst others overpower by decades geomagnetism in ones life. Just try to use your compass and find out.

last night i posted watch tower observer link about the memorial talk outline onto a finnish forum.
by noon the thread had about dozen posts.
i just checked and found out that the thread was being removed.
It seems that I am raving mad when abstaining from booze. My love has told me to dedicate one month a year for "whitewashing my nose" as we say. Naturally I chose the shortest which is soon over.
I did actually post my message much earlier than I figured and it is very popular site so the message got buried.
Things will change with upcoming TGIF and my mental equilibrium will be reinstated.
Kent,
Thanks for reminding me, I will keep that in my mind. Your link was there just few days ago by somebody else. It was in a very appropriate reply to a JW statement about openness of the borg.

Fredhall,
Thanks for asking, but by 18.00 that Thurday I'll be at least well under way. Friday is a puclic holiday as well as Monday it is good time for what we here call a four day "tube".
RunningMan,
Administration could not care less about the link. This forum has much worse postings tham mine. I do believe that a dub or several of them has turned to the administration and easiest way stop the complaints from dubs is to remove my topic. Anyway we shall see what is the life span of this second attempt (2 hours now).
