counting time (2)

by varian in

i know i m a simple mind, but if 3 jws study with a jw-child or someone else for an hour, they ll all report there own time, which will add up to 3 hours, right?

but the real netto time spent for the study is obviously 1 hour, no matter how many jws took part.

am i seeing a mathimatical fault?.

I had noticed this also when my elderly aunt was having a 'study'. 2 or 3 people would come and stay a couple hours visiting, maybe read a few paragraphs and leave her some literature. Oh, yeah, and she would always give them some money. I suppose only one of them could count the 'study' but the others could count the time and probably a return visit. My aunt is now 90 and will never go to another KH or assembly because of her health. The only good thing is it was company for her to break up her boring day and the wits got to count all that time on one person that will never be a publisher again.

The same thing happened when my father was in the hospital just before he died. 3 ladies came to visit him. It was obvious they were in field circus. They drove about an hour each way to the hospital and stayed about 15 or 20 minutes. One lady left the WT and Awake! and told him he could give them to his nurse. I figured that was a good 6 or 7 hours of time counted plus 2 mags 'placed'. Then dad could have 'placed' the same mags again with his nurse - had they not disappeared shortly after the ladies left - oops, where did those things go?

I clearly remember when this happened here in Atlanta. Very disturbing case. Julie had even walked up someone's driveway to a house but when Hammond and his friends drove away she turned around and came back down to the street to try to get home. They circled back in the car and got her. We never understood why she didn't ring the doorbell and try to wake someone up. Probably didn't want to bother the homeowner.

They were talking about Hammond last weekend and the first of the week on the news about the fact he was going to be put down (finally). Good riddance. Too bad it took them so long. It makes me very angry to see the JWs have apparently embraced him. Calling him 'a faithful servant' just makes me sick to my stomach.

Cancer Vaccine Developed -- And Ignored

by glenster in

the food and drug administration has just approved a. vaccine that helps protect against anal cancer in men.

and women by targeting the human papillomavirus (hpv).. about 90 percent of anal cancers are believed to be.

caused by hpv, and the vaccination also helps prevent.

I recall hearing a few years ago some girls were having serious issues (including death) after taking the vaccine.

This CDC article mentions the issues but they don't seem to think it's a problem worth pulling the vaccine.

My mother is Sister Armageddon. When she came over for dinner on Thanksgiving, soon as she walked into the house we started talking about the weather and the strong cold front that was heading this way. She got all excited and said, "That's never happened before has it?" I just said "No, Armageddon is not coming."

Anytime any thing happens she thinks it means Armageddon is here. She's in her 80s and doesn't remember stuff from one day to the next but she never forgets Armageddon.

of are they trying to reach the anti government people like the tea party idiots with this kind of propaganda illustrations?.

is this a signal that the wts is anti democrats, anti obama?.

Anyone from Rome Georgia?

by sherry123 in

hi i am new and i have been df for years.......best thung that could have happen to me..

Kahlua

I have just moved back to Georgia. I'm about an hour away from you also.

I was disappointed when I got back and checked the Meet Up groups and did not find any for the Atlanta area. Looks like there are quite a lot of people signed up as interested in one.

A few years ago I used to come up to Rome and ride my bicycle on the trails along the rivers and a couple times we rode the Berry campus too. Some beautiful scenery.

Anyone interested should read the manuscript by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons M.D. It's called, "Pounds and Inches". Don't even consider doing the diet until you have read his paper. Dr. Simeons explains clearly how it works.

And it really does work - even for men.

You are on a strict 500 calorie diet. The pregnancy hormone, HCG, causes your body to actually use 1500 to 2000 calories while you are only eating 500. You can't fudge on the foods or amounts you eat. It is very strict but it really works.

While you are encouraged to do some exercise it is not necessary for the HCG to work.

Here is one website that has a link to the manuscript - http://www.myhcgjourney.com/Pounds_&_Inches.html Unfortunately, it comes up on the screen sideways so you would need to print it out to read it. There is a book I bought called "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide" by Linda Prinster. It is very good and has a copy of "Pounds & Inches" in the Appendix.

Don't buy HCG off the Internet. Get it from a doctor to make sure you get the real stuff.

Premarin (estrogen) is made of horse urine but I haven't heard anywhere that HCG is but I could be wrong. There is some discussion about it coming from pregnant humans but I don't know how it's made. I just know it works!!

Anybody interested in attending a professionally-arranged conference addressing cultic group issues to be held in Nashville, TN?

by AndersonsInfo in

jw

one of the paramount non-profit anti-cult organizations headquartered in the us would like to arrange a two-day conference to be held in nashville, tn in the fall of 2011. this organization sponsors conferences, workshops, local meetings and special lectures, seminars, and other events all over the world for those interested in this subject.

at a nashville conference there will be opportunity to network with and listen to experts in the field and with people adversely affected by cultic experiences.. recently, when examining their records, this organization found that former jehovahs witnesses made up the bulk of those attending their anti-cult workshops which definitely indicates that many former witnesses are seeking help to overcome the damage from cult abuse.

however, the nashville conference will not be solely for former jehovahs witnesses, but will encourage attendance by anyone interested in hearing the experts address psychological manipulation and abuse in cultic groups, alternative movements, and other environments.

I am moving back that way in a couple months so will only be a 4 hour drive away. Definitely interested.
