  Will this faded JW be DF?

  i have a friend who has been inactive for going over 2 years.

  him and his wife split, she stayed a jw and he left and lived with a worldly girl.

  he timed it so that he was officially inactive by the time him and his wife split.

  Why in the world is the divorce taking so long? Unless something is constantly being contested that makes no sense.

  in the last few weeks it seems that instead of one or two new posters a week we seem to be getting several every day.

  many seem to be long time jw's who are troubled by the path of the organisation.

  this is really encouraging to those of us who have been here sometime.. welcome!

  I commented on this a few days ago, particularly because I noticed so many new ones from my area, northeast Ohio. Yes, it would be interesting if SIMON could give us some stats on this.

  Ask her what ONE bit of new information she came away with from the meeting. What ONE tasty morsel would she have missed if she had gone to the dinner in her honor, or was everything at the KH just a re "hash" of same old same old.

  Hello, also from NE Ohio! Looking forward to hearing more of your story. So, you not only share a similar background but you also know the heart break of NE Ohio sports fans who haven't had any kind of championship for over 50 years!!

  I notice how the Brooklyn facility is referred to as a "campus". The new Warwick facility is a "compound". Kind of says it all, doesn't it?. Also sounds like the city won't be sorry to see them go since they contibute nothing.

  If you went back in time, would you be a god?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  we just finished watching outlander which is about a woman who goes back in time ~200 years from the end of wwii.

  she ends up in the scottish highlands in the middle of the jacobite uprising.

  it's a great show although the last episodes were a little graphic (they make game of thrones seem like sesame street).. but it got me thinking ... if you went back in time would you in fact be the 'god' you may imagine because of your knowledge of modern technology and the future?.

  Mark Twain had this covered, amusingly, in "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". Even though written over 100 years ago with the technology of that era, the character becomes as a god as he goes back in time. The movie with Bing Crosby in the title role is pretty funny.
