It seems to me that the JW religion thrives on the concept of imminent world disaster. The way this world is going, they have a lot of raw material to work with for the forseeable future. Let's not forget that the "next 9/11" is not an "if" ... it's a "when". Iran ... North Korea ... Pakistan ... plenty of opportunities for calamity with no end in sight.

49Is there anything that could actually bring down this farce of a religion?
by stuckinamovement init seems as if they have survived it all.
bad press such as articles on molestations, neutrality, blood, defections of high ranking officials, crazy changes in doctrines, financial stresses, passage of a 100 years without one prophecy coming true.
yet they are still going strong with new members being recruited at a faster level than those who leave.

Does the average American get to meet a past/present President?
by Mattieu injust wondering..... i had the opportunity to meet former us president george bush snr (we still had to address him as mr. president) and his wife barbara.
i was emcamped with their entourage for a week on an australian visit some years ago.
real eye opener as to the workings of the secret service, i got an invite to the secret service wind up party at a night club the day the bushes left oz, straight out of a movie that night ;-).

I don't think the average person cares much about meeting any politician. I mean, if if I saw someone famous nearby I'd probably mention it in passing to a friend later on, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to do so. In fact, it's probably more likely that people go out of their way to avoid being in the same place as someone like a former president, because it usually means a traffic jam or some other similar inconvenience.

Recently stumbled across this. I know many here are not from the states but I found this interesting and thought others here might as well. This report is from 2008, so it's fairly recent.
I was pretty creeped-out and surprised that the single largest religious group in the US is Evangelicals. Maybe I shouldn't be too surprised given the all these lovely Tea Partiers and what not.
I also found this interesting:
"Jehovah's Witnesses have the lowest retention rate of any religious tradition. Only 37% of all those who say they were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses still identify themselves as Jehovah's Witnesses."

Memorial
by roadrunner4speed infor those unaware the memorial has no scriptural basis.
of the 12 men at the last passover not one of them ever said or wrote jesus said "do this in remembrance of me" matthew said jesus blessed the bread and wine and gave the bread and wine to his apostles.
we have paul saying jesus said those words and the writting of luke which everyone needs to read and find out what's missing in his account.

"I don't remember the name of the object don't recall even being told the name of the odject. Being raised a Catholic I only saw the object 2 times while in Catholic school. But the object was not a tabernale. The object was only used in a high mass performed by a Bishop. If you really need to knowthe name LMK, I will try to find the name by going to a Catholic website. Then I'll post a link. I will be posting about 1914 which I think we all know is wrong and give the date I believe Satan was kicked out of the heavens. I'll be posting new threads on many other things including were an old wive's tale comes from, which is from the Bible. My purpose is to get people to read the Bible with no preconcived notions of what is said. My search for the truth started in 1972. I've read the Bible many times in many translations cover to cover and examed the Bible since 1972. I used Bible tools which are found on the web to find meanng of Greek words ( I don't believe the Christian Scriptures were written in Greek which is another topic) and Hebrew words. This site only allows a person to start one new tread every 24 hours so be prepared for the ride of your life:-) I don't ask people to believe what I say but to examine what I say such as the writtings of paul and luke."
Ok, well I was raised catholic, forced to go to catholic school for 4 years, catechism classes for about 4 more, and church every week for 2 more beyond that (until I "quit"), and I never even heard of something called a "high mass" and never saw a bishop conducting a mass, so I guess I am ignorant about it.

"They have a round bright wafer. During their high mass they have that wafer in a statue like object with the wafer inside of the top facing outward."
Okay ...... what are you talking about? More please about this "statue-like object". The only thing I can imagine you're referring to is the thing called the tabernacle, which is just a storage container usually with some decorative filigrees and curlicues on it.

My Uses of Psychotropic Medicine and Marijuana Effects
by frankiespeakin infor several years now i have been using many natural plants to reach altered states of consciousness, one of my hopes was to start up my kundalini energy at the bass of my spine and up thru the various chakras, i think i have accomplished it but have no idea of where it ends, but it is somewhere out of cultural programing and beyond!.
anyway i quit pot for a while because my eyes would keep rolling up in the back of my head and i think my kundalini energy was only reaching up to my heart chakra and i would get blow away with compassion for suffering things animals, trees, people it really cut me down and zapped my energy,,so i quit for a couple months, and just started again very recently,, right now i don't get the eyes rolling back in the head thank god it is so embarrassing.. i think it may have been caused by really good yoppo i bought on ebay from yugoslavia or what ever one of those countries cheap but potent.
i was having the most powerful dreams even for weeks after relived memories coming out of nowhere all the time..

I've been using many natural plants to fill my belly. Just had some peas, and WOW, I reached a more satiated level of fullness within minutes. This time I combined it with just a tiny hit of butter and salt, which causes spontaneous utterances of "mm" but may induce dreams tonight of split pea soup with chunks of smoked ham, which if realized may indeed cause my eyes to roll in my head.

I just finished a leftover wonton soup from the local place. I wouldn't recommend a lot of their dishes but one thing I like about their wonton soup is that they put baby spinach leaves in the broth. Yum
