  right now my body is half shaven with needle marks and bruises everywhere.

  if i were stopped on the streets of chicago looking like this, staggering with fatigue, i would be arrested.

  something we men have a hard time getting through our thick heads is that just because we feel basically okay, does not mean that we can or should do a lot physically after a traumatic event ... and i found this out by doing a little too much walking at the hospital chest tightened, became out of breath, and got dizzy.

  Why is Jehovah allowing his name to be disgraced?

  by IslandWoman in

  2. friends

  jehovah's name, the very name associated with jehovah's witnesses is being disgraced, trampled upon as never before in the organization's history!!.

  in the past jehovah's witnesses have been reproached for standing up in defense of jehovah and his word.

  jehovah's name was sanctified at all costs and it appears from their history books that jehovah was making a good name for himself by means of their integrity.

  Yes, you can e-mail them yourself, if you'd like:

  I'm sure they are getting quite a bit of feedback!

  BELBAB:

  I'll try to check on those other ratings. I think the same site where I got mine may have it. (See my first post in this thread for the addy)

  Aha! I am beginning to see the light...from the Neilson site:

  What is a rating and a share?

  The terms rating and share are basic to the television industry. Both are percentages. A rating is a percent of the universe that is being measured, most commonly discussed as a percent of all television households. As such, a rating is always quantifiable, assuming you know the size of the universe (TV households, persons, women 18 – 34, and so forth). A share is the percent of households or persons using television at the time the program is airing and who are watching a particular program. Thus, a share does not immediately tie back to an actual number, because it is a percent of a constantly changing number – TV sets in use. Shares can be useful as a gauge of competitive standing.

  So, 9.2% of ALL TV's in America were turned on (in use). Of those 9.2%, 16% were tuned specifically to Dateline from 8:00 to 9:00pm.

  Thanks, Honey!

  A "16 share" means that 16% of all TV's in America were tuned in. I think?

  I have to ask my fiancee about this, since she worked for ABC for 20 years.

  Thanks, Bodhisattva.

  Here is a link to the Neilson web site's FAQ page concerning the interpretation of those numbers.

  http://www.nielsenmedia.com/FAQ/index.html

  Both rating numbers are percentages of different things, like market share vs. market size, or something.

  **********************************************************************

  LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - With the Lakers vs. Kings NBA Western Conference game packing most of the night's schedule for NBC, the peacock network easily won the Tuesday night ratings battle with a 7.9 rating / 13 share, followed by ABC (6.9/11), ABC (4.6/8), FOX (3.8/6), The WB (3.7/6) and UPN (1.8/3).

  NBC also won the top spot among adults 18-49 with a 4.9 rating, followed by ABC (3.0), FOX (2.8) and CBS (2.7).

  At 8 p.m., "Dateline NBC" won the timeslot with a 9.2/16, followed by CBS' "JAG" (6.3/11), FOX's "That '70s Show" (4.4/8) and "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" (3.5/6), "Mole II: The Next Betrayal" (4.0/7) on ABC, "Gilmore Girls" (3.7/6) on The WB and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (2.0/3) on UPN.

  **********************************************************************

  Those are pretty good numbers for a Tuesday night! I have to look into how the numbers translate into actual TV sets tuned to Dateline, unless someone knows how TV ratings work. More later.

  Last night I made a terrible mistake. I watched that Dateline show about Jehovah's Witnesses and became so ill I could hardly get up this morning.

  She became ill 'cause of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. Break out the Pepto Bismol, Sister!

  THEN, the Mod closed the thread - because it had the POTENTIAL to become a "controversial subject".

  Ahhh...well. See my earlier comment above.
