Hint of Lime - he's a beautiful cat
Thanks! Not that it's really my doing... (well, except the first shot which involved numerous 35-second exposures in a very low lighting situation to get right), still I'll be sure to let him know.

I understand completely.
Garfield and Friends... 9:00 Saturday morning.
My siblings and I often had the "Saturday morning flu". Typically our parents called us out on it.. occasionally they seemed to have a heart.

Perhaps it's just my liberal mentality that women aren't property to be bought and sold.
The WT eagerly condones things like this up until society by large rejects and abandons the practice. Then they'll pretend they were against it all along and later quote other scriptures as to why it is "unscriptual".
They are moral cowards without a true compass, washed about by the waves of "pleasing men" rather than their supposed god.

Secret signal to find each other at District Convention
by RayPublisher inlast year this was brought up and it was a great idea but maybe a bit too late.
do you remember the "secret signal" that was going to be used?
it should not be mentioned in the main thread, only through email and pms.

From Wikipedia:
As with any secret, a secret handshake must have precise steps that are only revealed to a select group of people. Below are some tips that will help in creating a successful secret handshake.
One must make sure that the handshake has an appropriate number of steps. Between three and six steps is easy to remember. If the handshake consists of too few steps, it will be easily detected and compromised. However, if the handshake is too long, the members of the group will not remember it. This could lead to awkward stumbling and pauses during execution of the shake.
Include a hidden signal. [4] A secret within the secret handshake is usually effective in preventing imitation. For example, one might wish to use a pressure point, hidden stroke of the hand, or other small sign that is hidden from view. While major components of the handshake can be visible and imitated, only members of the group will have knowledge of and be able to identify other members by the small details within the handshake.
Practice. [4] Members of the group should practice their handshake numerous times to ensure that all members have memorized the steps and secret signals. A group will be seen as disconnected and not united if individuals forget steps or have to pause during the execution of the handshake. When the handshake is within the context of a gang or a secret society such as the Freemasons, this is crucial. However, a casual secret handshake among friends will not carry the same level of severity as with the aforementioned groups.
Keep it secret. [4] Members of a group should be cautioned to only share the handshake with other members of the group. It is crucial that creators of a secret handshake maintain the secrecy of the greeting. Secret handshakes and greetings are meant to be kept secret for many reasons, but primarily for the sake of maintaining the unity of the group and prevent outside attacks or intrusions.
Use it. The purpose of secret handshakes and greetings is to be used and used in specific settings. Creators of a secret handshake or greeting should identify the circumstances under which the greeting is to be used. For instance secret handshakes and greetings may be used as initiation tools, greetings in passing, or as a formal way of saying hello. Other instances can be designated as deemed necessary by the creator(s).
Because a secret handshake, like a regular handshake or other form of greeting, is a means of identification and association with a group, it must be consistent, understood, and relevant. It is crucial that members of a group take great care in creating any secret signals, handshakes, codes, passwords, or other forms of identification so as to maintain unity and secrecy.
I imagine with a bit of ingenuity, an "apostate handshake" (not nessessarily a physical handshake) could incorporate subtleties that your average JW elder would not remember or perform. While maintaining plausable deniability.
Even better if it has them chaising their own tails and making up new "secret" rules. Really the WT isn't sophisticated enough to effectively combat a deliberate performance cypher.

Are major earthquakes on the increase??
by Vanderhoven7 ina jw writes as proof that 1914 is key.... the newencyclopdiabritannica (1987) lists 63 major historical earthquakes spanning the past 1,700 years.
of this total, 27, or 43 percent, have struck since 1914. the book terranonfirma, by professors gere and shah, has a list covering a longer period.
of the total significant earthquakes in that list, 54 percent have taken place since 1914. even granting that records from past centuries are incomplete, we cannot escape the conclusion that in our time mankind has been greatly affected by earthquakes.. does anyone have access to the the newencyclopdiabritannica (1987) or info that would either support or refute the above allegations.. .

US Geological Survey: http://www.usgs.gov/
From the FAQ: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/faq/?faqID=110
From their historical records, it's clear that earthquakes continue to happen as they always have. Plate Techtonics is not a 'new phenomenon', and it's effects have been felt for hundreds of millions of years.
The bible does not say there would be 'more' earthquakes - just that they would occur, which is about as shocking as saying "In the end, people will breathe in and out'. It's a "sign" designed to play on people's fears, while being potentially "seen" after every normally expected earthquake.

10 when you go to war against your enemies and the lord your god delivers them into your hands and you take captives,11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife.
12 bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured.

While I could see how you might be confused about these scriptures, Brother TOTH, we have to keep in mind the context under which this was written. It was a different time back then - an ancient time we can't really comprehend - and Jehovah lovingly provided these rules to his people as a protection for them against the nations.
I'd like to say a prayer with you, Brother TOTH, and let's ask Jehovah for his patience in your struggle to come to understand him better.
