  I'm on chrome I can only get a few emoticons, the ones on the very right. I've always been envious of Finkelstein and his marvelous emo's. I've got my kindle ones but they don't have the level of sarcasm or " Doh!!" required for an ex dub site

  No. Menstruating women are unclean for 7 days? No.

  Wouldnt be too sure about THAT! Women are just unclean 365 days a year.....of course, the one thing an unclean women could do is the one thing JW women are allowed to do....,clean the shi**ers at the Kingdom Hall!

  2 questions remain in the passing of brother prince:.

  will an autopsy, that won't be made available for several weeks, reveal that he died of a drug overdose?.

  did prince bequeath a large sum of money to watchtower corporation upon his passing?.

  Prince tried to make a recruitment film for jw's?

  by purrpurr in

  i've read in an article on that in 2001 prince wanted director kevin smith to make a movie based on his album the rainbow children.

  but the director dropped out when he realised that it was going to be a recruitment film for jw's including flashing messages on screen like "jesus christ is god's son" etc.

  has anyone else heard this before?

  I agree Phaedra . Prince was a very accomplished musician, but he definitely hit it big at the right time.. And I don't think he has really reached that level of creativity that people are talking like he did. He wrote a few catchy tunes but he was certainly no innovator.. most of the stuff he did had been done before and better by others imo.

  He killed himself with drugs. No sympathy for him, and no soup, either!

  Nathan I hope the day never comes when you have a condition so painfull that you are on a long term opiate prescription. As tolerance builds its very difficult to get dosage right....and you simply would not be human NOT to become addicted after as little as a few weeks with opiates ( which is what he must have taken to be given narcan).

  If you are this judgemental now god only knows what you must have been as a dub.

  i'm shocked to hear that victoria wood has died of cancer.

  she was only 62, so sad.

  she was one of the first female comedians, and paved the way for the those women that followed.

  ok brothers and sisters, we need to use our imagination, and you might just question mine at the end of this haha.. but how would you feel, seeing a governing body member at the same holiday resort you and your family have just checked into?

  you think this might be great to ask him questions and so approach him as he's lying on his back, sprawled on his beach towel.

  as you get closer you look at his swollen, bloated feet and think what rich, creamy, buttery foods is he eating at bethel.

  picture: nt policea parishioner arriving at the kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses in berrimah crashed through two church walls, missing occupants waiting for a service to start.. the 78-year-old female driver was taken to hospital with cuts and bruises.

  police believed she may also be suffering from shock.. the kingdom hall of jehovah’s witnesses suffered significant damage when a female parishioner crashed through two walls in her car.

  Evolution: The Deal Breaker

  by Hadriel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  first off i do believe there are some evidences of evolution or i should probably say adaptation.

  i do believe this exists in various forms.. however the deal breaker for me with evolution is the chick or egg problem.

  there are tons of theories that get passed around as proof of evolution however these are usually examples much further down the evolutionary chain.. what i mean is let's start at the beginning!

  RThere was an interesting article a few weeks ago that looked at it from the point of view of physics. It took the perspective of living things as local and temporary systems that find efficient ways to capture energy and defy entropy. It showed how life is seems to be inevitable.

  cofty would you mind saying where you saw that, if you can remember please?

  Under WT rules, can JW women file for a divorce? Or can only men file?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the reason i ask is because while watching the "dateline" episode about ralph candelario, the claim was made that only jw men could file for divorce, not women.

  .

  i had never thought about this before.. also, how does this apply in cases where a husband is "apostate" while the wife is faithful to wt?

  To answer the OPs question a JW women may file for divorce, under certain conditions, and has exactly the same rights to do so as a JW man.
