  JWs Assaulted

  by Kenneson in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  this story comes out of western australia and is entitled "driving instructor jailed.".

  "a driving instructor from the west australian coast town of bunbury has been found guilty of indecently assaulting three of his teenaged students....outside the court, a police spokesman said carey knew two of the three victims through their associations as jehovah's witnesses.".

  does anyone know what connection this guy has with jws?.

  I would hazard a guess that he was a JW too. Or maybe a husband of a JW?

  Seems odd to mention this if it was simply a case that two of the victims were JWs.

  Political campaigns disgust me

  by Reborn2002 in

  i do not care if you endorse the republican party, democrats, independents, or even the green party.

  but to see such inordinate amounts of money go into campaigns disgusts me.

  the economy is flailing and people are homeless and starving, all the while these fatcats live high off the hog and mingle at dinners while kissing one another's asses.. this is not a post directed specifically at any candidate.

  George Bush's new speach on re-election:

  Lies, lies, lies, lies.....more lies, lies, half-truth's, lies.........pause to look at auto-cue to read more lies.....lies....mis-representation of the facts......lies, lies.

  I think you'll find that's the standard line no matter what politician they are.

  I'd like to see AlanF, Farkel and co. over there for a bit.

  Would be fun just to watch them blow the retards out of the water.

  White Stripes

  by clash_city_rockers in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so far for album of the year 2003 is the white stripes "elephant".

  using vintage instaments and laying them down on an old 8 track give this album an old school flavor.

  with the energy of the buzzcocks with an instamental sound of vintage stones

  Dan,

  "It's the dog's bollocks." = It's rather good isn't it.

  Other words:

  Banging: A pounding beat. Usually found in House, Trance, Techno music.

  e.g. "wow, this tune is really banging."

  "These things aren't wrong in themselves....."

  by undercover in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anyone else remember those talks about being materialistic?

  i can remember when the brother would go on about owning the latest gadgets, new cars, boats and bigger houses.

  it seems they always precluded their remarks with, "these things aren't wrong in themselves...." and then would go on to make a big deal about how unspiritual it would be to own these things.

  Ozzie,

  many millions actually.

  Ooops.

  Well, you can hardly expect them to be modest. I don't think they know the meaning of the word.

  They give us crap over working a few more hours to earn enough to live on. Yet of course it's alright for them to spends hundreds of thousands on places like Patterson.

  Hmm, didn't do to well in the emotion side of things. What's Your Emotional Age?
  less mature more mature Behavior: There are countless reasons why people may act or feel a certain age at any given point in their lives. Feeling a certain age is not a static thing, nor is it something that always follows a pre-determined pattern. Some people act older when they are children then have a second childhood in their retirement years. Others act like children until they become parents and then seem to click into a different mode. It can be helpful and insightful to learn which stage you're at right now, and why. Nobody fits neatly into a given category. There are several components in your emotional age: behavior, feelings, and responsibility. In the area of behavior, you seem to fall into the "adult" category. Adults tend to be efficient and responsible. You are probably a "doer" whom others consider reliable, stable, and consistent. People feel they can depend on you. Of course, if others rely too much on you, it can be a burden. You seem, however, to be someone who strikes a healthy balance between fulfilling others' needs and taking care of your own. Just be aware that if you feel overwhelmed by the pressures put on you, you should take some time out for yourself. less mature more mature Emotions: In the realm of emotions, you seem to fall into the "kid" category. This means that you probably express your emotions instinctively. In many ways that's great, because you are in touch with your feelings. You're probably considered open and honest by those around you. But it can also mean that you practice little control over your public expression. Being an emotional "kid" can also indicate insensitivity to the needs of others. Children are naturally emotionally self-absorbed and tend to not be aware of the effect their actions have on others. It's a two-sided coin. Allowing your emotions to surface is a wonderful healing process, but it's important to control when and where these "expressions" occur. less mature more mature Responsibility: When it comes to the level of responsibility you assume, you fall into the "adolescent" category. This means that you might not be someone who is considered dependable, except perhaps in a crisis. Adolescents typically have little concern for the consequences of their own actions and avoid most commitments. This tendency is not conducive to developing trusting and enduring relationships.
