  Yes. Mainly people who I never much liked in real life anyway. They usually tend to be people whose multiple crappy quiz results and rubbishy games clutter my page. It's like, if we didn't speak to each other in 10th grade then why should I care what the online psychic predicts for you?

  I've got a short-list of people who will be going soon. The deciding factor is how much I care about what's going on in their lives.

  I sound like a bit of a meany, don't I? I prefer to see it as streamlining and cleaning house.

  What is the reasoning of Israelites being allowed to have concubines?

  by EmptyInside in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  were they all foreign women?

  it seems to be contradictory too, because they weren't to have marriage alliances with other nations.

  but, i guess using the woman as a sex slave and baby making machine was okay.

  Nobody has really addressed the issue of why only males can handle the microphones.

  How honest should I be with a JW on Facebook?

  by Quillsky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so this woman that i grew up with has sent me a friend request on facebook.

  we've done a bit of back and forth "how are you" chat but i haven't accepted her request.. i can see she is still a jw because she belongs to some no-blood facebook group.. i do not want to be her friend on facebook.

  i consider witnesses to be bad association and i severely limit the number of jw's i have on my facebook - only close family and people that i share close history with.. so what should i say to this woman?

  Okay, I bit the bullet and added her, and another JW. They are good people. Let's see what happens.

  It's simple really, and still takes place in many places on earth.

  Women tend to be non-earners, and hence need to be looked after. Men tend to be earners.

  The result is higher earning men looking after multiple women. Of course, do the math and you'll see that the weaker men are left without a woman. Poor them, but it makes complete sense for society.

  I kind of like that system. The Western/Christian one-man-one-woman system means that even complete asshole losers have a chance at a wife. Poor wife.

  All Aircraft grounded in the UK, France, Holland and Denmark

  by llbh in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because of a large plume of dust being blown to the uk by a volcanic eruption in iceland all aircraft in the uk and beyond have been grounded, no airplanes are flying at all, they will not be flying till tommorow at the earliest , and then maybe not.

  apparently the dust can cause engines to stall, which has happened before.. heathrow is the busiest international airport in the world, and second busiest overall, the dislocation of passengers all over the world is massive.. .

  I guess when the inspirer of the Bible mentioned earthquakes he forgot about volcanoes.

  Facebook: Jehovah's Witness youngsters are vulnerable

  by Quillsky in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm a benign female that started a few fake facebook profiles when we were discussing facebook jehovah's witness groups here on jwn and playing with the jw groups.. what has truly astonished me is how many jehovah's witnesses, and mainly youngsters, teens, have wanted to friend me.

  "me", the fake me.. watch your kids, parents.. this really is an important finding imo.

  one of my fake profiles, a nice pretty non-existent witness girl, has over 300 young jw friends.

  You shelter some kid his whole life and he won't know how to deal with other people.

  So true, SirNose.

  lol @ A Fenderson and Darth plaugeis!!

  For me it's green tea and/or fresh coffee, then yoghurt/soya/fruit smoothies, or fresh vegetable juice (carrot/cucumber/beet/ginger/tomato/celery), or fresh orange juice; then warm oats mixed with mashed banana, milk and honey, or soft scrambled egg with tomato and mushrooms, or smoked salmon on wholewheat toast, or pineapple pieces and plain yoghurt.....

  ........ NOT all together! All in different combinations on different days.

  Variety is good. Freshness is good. Branded boxes are pretty much bad. "Cereal" - that bland factory-produced sugar-loaded stuff in a big box is a big advertising con. Who taught us that "cereal" is what breakfast is all about? Oh yes, the Kellogg brothers.

  For me this is an interesting contrast to my real life facebook profile where I know, lived with, went to school with, worked with, etc, every one of my hundreds of friends.

  With this post I am proposing that young Jehovah's Witnesses, by being told that the internet is evil, are not currently given the tools - communication, knowledge and life skills - to resist predatory people on the internet.

  Are you so faded that Actives no longer encourage but respect you?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know it sounds strange but all the jw's i have contact with are no longer "encouraging" me to attend meetings.

  in fact not one of them invited me to the memorial even though we had dinner together at my house three nights before.

  i think i have them totally bamboozled with my reasoning why i don't attend.

  I think they envy my freedom a bit, even if it's a bit subliminal.
