Must admit, the Seahawks came to play and they kicked butt for all four quarters. Denver now owns four of the worst Superb Owl performances in history!

Report it to the phone company. The pay phone is their private property, it is not a public bulletin board for others.

"but then later down it says now is not the time to put our trust in human institutions (but the org is a human institution)."

Are you saying the spirit-directed, annointed, Governing Body are mere humans? You must be an apostate!

An incident in Michigan

by Mandette in

an article on a jw who died from lack of blood.

family then sued..

"The choice was hers to make, whether for reasons of religion, or for altogether different reasons entirely, or in fact for no reason at all. But as in any aspect of life, where choices result in consequences, Ms. Rozier’s choice resulted in a consequence for her. Sadly, that consequence was her death."

I'd call the logic of that statement self-evident. I hope the doctors and hospital were awarded attorney's fees (a rare outcome, I admit).

Simple Signs That Cause Jehovah's Witnesses To Lose Morale (Faith In The Governing Body Corporation Kings)

by frankiespeakin in

a good way to get the jws doubting corporation leadership, is lower their morale in the governing body.

pointing out their stupidity, authoritarianism, delusions of grandure, and the depts of their wishful thinking bias done in such a way to overide watchtower inplanted prejudice.. highlighting the phobias they have of apostates, their attitude toward children as nothing more that corporation free labor denying them education and handing them over to pedofiles in the congregation be they elders or microphone handlelers.. signs about doctrinal issues are a waste of time but i can't deny that some may benifit but that's just getting them out of one cult and making them pray for another.

anyway the bible is too full of shit to argue doctrine, much better to stay away from it and proceed to spend more time get oneself free from that residual mind control you're still clinging to that's based in the bible.. what are your ideas?.

GLTirebiter

I think it would as unproductive as expecting an argument about politics to change somebody's opinion. Consider this modified version:

A good way to get the JWs (republicans, democrats, conservatives, labour party members,...) doubting Corporation Party Leadership, is lower their morale in the Governing Body Candidates. Pointing out their stupidity, authoritarianism, delusions of grandure, and the depts of their wishful thinking bias done in such a way to overide watchtower inplanted prejudiceparty ideology.

If somebody changes their opinion, it's because they convinced themselves. When you try to make them change it, you are much more likely to increase their resolve than to win them over to your side.

Suggestions for car buying

by FlyingHighNow in

jw
friends

if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?

top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.

not too expensive to maintain.

GLTirebiter

Let your experience with that timing belt be a warning: they do not last for the life of the car, and must be replaced regularly (expensive, but less than a blown engine). If you buy a car with a timing belt, check the maintenance schedule and plan on replacing it no later than recommended. If it's overdue, find out how much that will cost--or walk away from the deal.

At the $5000 price level, the car will be old enough that condition and prior treatment are vital. Even the best brands will have problems if the car has been abused or poorly maintained. Get an opinion from an honest independent mechanic, one who works on many makes and knows what problems are common on different models, one who isn't afraid to tell you "If you buy that thing I'll be seeing you often." Also ask about how easy it is to find parts for the model you're considering; discontinued or unusual parts could keep it in the shop until a special order arrives.

Insist on a fresh emissions test, and check the numbers on the report to be sure it didn't barely squeak by. If it barely passes this year, there's a good chance it will fail next time. In most states, failing the emissions test means you can't renew the license plates until it's fixed.

I generally look for less than 10 years old and less than 100,000 miles. But I have had a car with multiple problems in less than half that, while another lasted far longer (same make but different models).
