Sure they can! However, blind people are incapable of one of those things... getting married obviously.

I missed a lot of TV over the last 30 years
by sosoconfused insince i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.
shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .

Is this a public school? Religion shouldn't be taught in public schools unless it is some sort of comparitive religion class.

Are You Interested In Religion Of Any Sort At This Point In Your Life?
by minimus inpersonally, i respect that everyone has choices to believe whatever they want to believe.
i have no interest in joining another religion....what about you?.
-
MrFreeze
Nope. I'd say the only religion I even can even come close to relating to is Buddhism and that is because it doesn't require a belief in a deity.

Didn't read them this week but here are some fun facts about our galaxy I've compiled:
8 th planet from the sun:
Neptune
Winds on Neptune reach up to 2100 kmh or 1305 mph.
7 th planet from the sun:
Uranus
Summers on Uranus last 42 years.
6 th planet from the sun:
Saturn:
There could be life on one of Saturn's moons. Ice geysers were discovered blasting out of the southern pole of Enceladus. Scientists aren't sure why but something keeps the water warm enough to not freeze. So it is highly likely that as with earth, where there is liquid water, there is also life.
5 th planet from the sun:
Jupiter
The mass of Jupiter is 318 times the size of earth and 2.5 times the rest of the planets in our galaxy.
4 th planet from the sun:
Mars
Mount Olympus on Mars is the largest mountain in the solar system at nearly 17 miles tall, three times the size of Mount Everest. Mars also has the deepest and longest canyon in the solar system, Valles Marinerus, reaching 2500 miles long and 4 miles deep.
3 rd planet from the sun:
Earth
I had to search. What is there about our planet that we aren’t already well aware of? Maybe this is new.
At a distance earth appears to be the brightest planet in our solar system because of the sunlight reflecting off the water.
Also, the earth is the only planet in our solar system that we know of to still be geologically active.
2 nd planet from the sun:
Venus
Looking for your next vacation destination? Why not try Venus? Venus was once thought to be earth’s twin. They thought that underneath the layer of the clouds that it was a tropical paradise. Well, they were wrong.
The pressure on Venus is 92 times that of Earth. The temperature can reach 860 degrees Fahrenheit and it rains sulfuric acid.
1 st planet from the sun:
Mercury
A year on Mercury lasts 88 of our days but a day on Mercury lasts 176 of our days.
We’ve traveled a great distance. 4.5 billion km to be exact. Which is approximately 3 billion miles.
Now we get to our destination. The sun! It’s like the king of planets man!
The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way. It takes 225,000,000 years to complete a full orbit. The sun is estimated to be about 3 billion years old or so. It’s in the middle of its life. You don’t wanna be on earth when it dies. It takes energy from the core of the sun 30,000 years to reach earth.

One cute canadian sister
by thomyorke ini like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.
but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.
it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

I've been to Kingdom Halls in Sweden. They don't dress any different than in other countries. I did notice a couple brothers with beards. Shows they have different policies in different countries.

I love the show Dexter. Its about a serial killer that only kills people that deserve it. Its currently running in its final season.
I know a lot of people like Breaking Bad and Mad Men.
Those aren't mindless though. Walking Dead is kind of a mindless show. Lots of zombie killing.
If you are looking for comedy, I suggest watching through the Arrested Development series. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is always great for a laugh.
