I haven't got plans to dive the Bibb yet, is that a good dive? I am nitrox certified but some of these wrecks are at the edge of how deep you can go on nitrox unless they make a weaker mix. On the other hand most of the dives in the keys are so shallow that diving nitrox is kind of a waste of money. They charge so much more for it here compared to out west.

JK666 I live near Key West but I got up to Looe Key all the time and I also dive out of Marathon. Everyone here says the diving near Key West has gotten bad over the past few years and maybe they're right, the vis isn't very good and the coral is mostly dead. But it looks much healthier near Marathon. I get to dive the wrecks around here and so far my favorite is the Thunderbolt. But next week I'm going to Key Largo to dive the Duane. Oh and I got certified out west through SSI. I think agencies don't make much of a difference, it's more about the instructor you have. Mine is an older guy and very patient. He not only got me through the course he made me really comfortable. So much so that I'd like to be an instructor myself one day. Just as a part time job.

Old thread but I did a search, so, sue me :) I'm a diver and I got certified in the north west but since then I've moved to the Florida Keys and I go diving every week. I just love it. As my old instructor said (he was old) it's the most fun you can have wearing rubber :)

Is Pedophilia Really A Huge Problem With Jehovah's Witnesses?
by minimus injws say they are clean and pure and undefiled and not like the world but in reality there are those that do very evil things and they either have fallen through the cracks, have gotten disciplined or disfellowshipped.. we realize that just because a person says they are a christian, it doesn't mean they will always act like one.. regarding pedophiles, do you believe that jws have a huge problem involving an infestation of pedos?

I think the kingdom hall is filled with pedophiles. After all it's a safe haven, the people inside are naive and they protect them from the outside. We had a couple of elders forced to step down in my old hall because of being accused of this behavior but the older sisters knew of many many others that you shouldn't trust.

What was the most laughable JW teaching??
by chuckyy inhi all.
in your opinion, what was the silliest , most laughable watchtower teaching/doctrine, since its beginning until now???.
chukyy.

Well all those teachings already listed are just too much to comprehend but my favorite doctrine was that you could date if you were chaperoned and only if you were considering marriage. That would explain the MS's sniffing after me when I was 15 wouldn't it?

Would You Go Back?
by Dune inyesterday, my aunt was talking to one of my siblings about how things have been changing in our [ex] congregation for the 'better'.. she mentioned how a new circuit overseer has come in and is shaking things up.
the co appointed a ministerial servant (someone, the po & secretary didn't like and i know would never have voluntarily suggested appointment) and some of the 'brothers' that have had no 'responsibility' ever are being given #4 talks.
she also mentioned that the book study will be cancelled and the meetings are being shortened.. a ministerial servant who had a vendetta against some of the elders wants me to talk to a co and basically tell him i left the congregation [and the religion] because of the incompetence of the elders.. i'm not talking to the co and i'm not 'blaming' anyone.

Not even if Jesus himself materialized in front of me and told me it was really the truth. Not a chance I'll ever go back. Getting DFed was my escape from hell.

Limiting comments by kids during WT Study
by navytownroger ini was told recently by a ministerial servant that the word had come down from above that from now on only two comments by children will be allowed during the wt study.
the reason: the meetings are geared to adults, not children.
has anyone else heard of this policy??

Meetings would have been better if I wasn't allowed to comment at all. Oh wait, eventually that did occur! Yaaay for me !!
