by Big Jim inwhat will occur in 2012 when the mayan calendar ends?
when people say the mayan calendar ends in 2012, they're referring to the end of one 5125-year cycle that began in 3114 b.c.
this cycle ends on december 21, 2012 (although some peg the date as the 22nd), marking the end of the mayan cyclical calendar.

Jungle Fever in the BORG
by Black Man inpost title - jungle fever in the borg or inter-racial relationship dynamics in the borg.. back in the the day inter-racial relationships were frowned on, especially if you wanted to advance spiritually (climb the corporate ladder).
i remember at bethel a few of the brothers in service department used to always tell brothers that it would be beneficial to marry in their own race if they wanted to be used in the circuit work.
the premise was that the society is not biased but rather the world is and to avoid conflict, they only prefer to use couples of the same race.

JW's And Risque Mnemonics.
by Englishman indo folk in the united states use mnemonics as we do here in the uk?.
just in case youre wondering, a mnemonic is a method by which it becomes easy to remember something, especially if it involves a table or sequence.
most uk mnemonics have a vulgar or sexual connotation, so their use is somewhat frowned upon in jw circles.. when number 2 son was studying geology, it was essential that he remembered the hardness order of various minerals.

The geneaology of Christ?
by uncle_onion inmatthew departs from the style used throughout his genealogy when he comes to jesus, saying: jacob became father to joseph the husband of mary, of whom jesus was born, who is called christ.
it is possible as well that neri had no sons, so that shealtiel was counted as his son for that reason also.
(these could have been, not actual sons, but descendants, or one, at least, could have been a son-in-law.

Since I don't know a lot of you...
by Tishie inwould anyone mind doing one of those famous internet introduction sessions?.
since i completely and thoroughly filled out my profile, i think you all know enough about me :) and if you are bad, bad people, you might even know my history with the jws.
but, i'll give you the run-down, since i'm asking.. my real name is teresa (tishie being a nickname from my husband [tish, actually], which i adapted for the 'net about 5 or 6 years ago because i didn't like running into other teresas... eh, rf?)..
