mass immigration in the world "seems" to have led to a rise in anti -semitism in the west.
france now has more than six million muslims.. germany now has four million muslims.
the netherlands has almost one million muslims .
Point to ponder: What one city in the mid east has a gay pride parade? Which mid east country has the most liberal policy toward same sex marriage? Which countries execute LGBTQ people?
I'm sorry, I don't understand why liberals support oppressive fundamentalist theocracies in a fight with the only place that even remotely looks like a liberal state in the region.
being "black balled" by any fraternity group is still a stigma.
Only to members of the fraternity.
Nobody else gives a $***, especially when the fraternity as viewed as lunatics or worse by the rest of the world. I spend a lot of time on a discussion board devoted to politics and military history. The guys there (for whom I have a tremendous amount of respect) all know I'm an XJW and all of them regard my exit as a a badge of honor and courage (they've used those words), which strikes me as over the top, but I'll take it.
The only event that might make it even noticable would the arrival of a letter telling me about.
her suffering is finally over.
marilyn has been battling cancer for about three years and at times it looked like she would win.
but in the last few months the cancer spread.
My condolences to Jim, that is sad news.
i wonder if anybody else has wondered about the differences between those 2 flights?
in the malaysian flight that crashed from 30,000 feet high, tons of wreckage, body parts, bodies, documents, etc, all over the place.
yet in the pa flight 93, just a crater in the ground, no bodies, everything supposedly vaporized.
Thanks DJS for a breath of fresh air on these conspiracy theories.
I'm a retired accountant. You have not yet blown your chance to move toward resolution, but you need to act. Call the IRS IMMEDIATELY and tell them you want to get on an installment plan. You may have to fill out some forms documenting your income. If you tell them you can pay enough each month (no I'm not sure how they calculate this) they will just accept the plan, there is another form you have to fill out.
i went camping in pagosa springs with my brother and his family last weekend.
i asked him if he wanted to do the "cinnamon challenge".
he had never heard of it before and i had never tried it.

Yes its fun, you could even win a Darwin award.
on my imac laptop i am typing away and suddenly my words appear on a different line, often within the text of an earlier sentence.
it is nonstop and the tech advice online is difficult for me to understand/apply.
never has occurred on my dell pc.. has this happened to you?.
I had this problem on my Dell laptop, it was driving me crazy. One of the suggestions was to download a free program called touchfreeze. Fixed the problem.
the wt is nonprofit, if the below information is true, then any volunteers to getting it, scanning, and posting it online???
i found this when searching if nonprofits had to disclose their financial records to the public.
question: .

Churches are exempt from filing.
we may believe that the wt is having financial problems because of the sell-off that has been happening lately.
however, i think the opposite.
i believe the gb has realized that in today's world the money is in the properties that the sheepies have already paid or are paying for.
I've been thinking along these lines. My last KH is on the county records at $400,000. Admittedly its in a spendy suburb of Seattle. But even half that times the number of halls in the country yields a big number. Also, that value would be carried on the Watchtowers books as a fixed asset, which is a number bankers love. The loans, which are some amount less than that are subject to a deduction for possible bad debt, making them less desirable to bankers. This could all be very important if they are obtaining bank loans to finance other projects.
The Watchtower's finances are some of the least transparent of any so-called charity.
