  sorry for such a depressing question, but i was moved by a picture i saw of the consequences.

  ( a woman carrying her child) and i realised:-.

  a) it was a civillian population.. b) i don't see how a nuclear holocaust can ever be right.. c) they could have bombed tokyo where all the generals lived but chose hiroshima.. d) the irony after the bombing america conceeded to many of japans terms.. your opinion would be valued..

  1) Wilson joined WW1 because he was told that he would be left out of post war discussions that would lead to the League of Nations

  2) FDR and some US policy wonks wanted to join the war in '39 - by turing the oil tap off on japan they goaded them (left them no option) to attack Pearl Harbour

  i have written before about my jw friend that plays hookie with me on sundays.

  we skip the meeting and go straight to lunch and margaritas.

  she converted later in life and has been a jw for over 25 years.. she is in her late 70's and has had heart problems.

  I still don't understand why they are now standing around with a stupid table looking like mannequins when it was once frowned upon.

  Does anyone have a pic of the JW.ORG lapel pin?

  the letter has appeared at last - just for uk.

  it is a money grab for the new bethel which has been approved.

  there is a video to be shown - just watched it - brief summary of uk bethels, why current one is too small, why we need money to build a new one.

  Assuming they invested the $800 Million in sales over the last 10 years at a measely 3% per annum it must now have grown to about $950 Million. The wad of cash grows at about $27 million a year - how about writing the following:

  " I will donate $3.85 as my share of the $27 million generated in interest on sold NY properties per year"

  Dubs love "$$ per publisher" shit....

  "Go Where the Need is Great" - Is this phrase unique to JW's only???

  by AudeSapere in

  "go where the need is great"... it's one of those jw buzz-words/phrases.

  almost like a secret code that just pops up in what would otherwise be a 'normal' conversation.. .

  i was conducting an interview with a candidate this afternoon and she used this phrase when explaining that she travelled to various locations of a previous employer.

  Actaully a large number of dubs head from cold climates to Mexico on the premise of going to where the need is great....in reality it is great to go where there is no need.

  Why Do Witnesses Promote A Unhealthy Lifestyle, My COBE weighs 340lbs (5ft 7in).

  by BucketShopBill in

  please don't take this the wrong way if your battling weight problems, that's not what this thread is meant to talk about.

  i am asking this question because jehovah's witnesses claim they have "the best way of life", "god's blessing", "the truth" and are trying to change the habits of healthy people by turning them in to their own makings.

  i watched people who were great athletes turn all their muscle in to fat because we would get a elder or circuit overseer make remarks they were spending too much time "working out" and "bodily training is beneficial for little".

  At my peak of dubdum I was a bloated 290lbs at 5'10". I left in 2010 and stopped self medicating with food to address my anxiety/stress-of-trying-to-please-everyone/stay-at-home-and-eat-because-there-is-nothing-else-I-am-allowed-to-do syndrome. I am now 228 and on my way to a target of 210, enjoy eating very well, enjoy just taking a damn walk on Saturday morning, Sunday at 1pm and Wednesday evening or whenever I feel like it.

  Many are on anti-depressants and Prozac derivatives to combat what the religion does to you (nothing against ones taking these medications when they can'ty control what affects them) others like me and my wife used food, others use alcohol and I know of some that were drug users while dubs but gave it up after leaving. My retired Dr said he had a significant amount of dubs that were heavily medicated or were alcoholics - way more than the background percentage of the population should show otherwise.

  Love of God and his love of us would never hurt anyone - its what religion does that hurts.

  There is absolutely no correctlation between head (cranial) size and brain size, futher there is no correlation between brain size and intelligence. Hoever there is a correlation between the "heads" at the GB and intelligence.

  JWs at the Edinburgh Festival

  my girlfriend and i took the train through to edinburgh to soak in the atmosphere and catch a few free comedy shows at the fringe festival.. almost immediately i spotted them; jw.org witnesses.. how did i know it was them?.

  well, the middle-aged, tall man wearing the suit, shirt and tie was a big clue.

  that and the fact that he was holding the hand of a similarly tall, middle-aged woman, dressed in the jw uniform of long skirt, blouse and light summer jacket.
