  can we expect legal problems for trump to cripple his authority?

  remember that trump u. is still pending as well as multiple accusations of groping.

  there is that one case of the woman claiming he raped her at 13. wow america, you really know how to pick'em.

  I do have to say that Pence seems more in control of himself than Cain if we are only talking vice presidents here, not Hillary or Trump.

  My Thanksgiving Tradition As One of Jehovah's Witnesses

  the jw prohibition of celebrating holidays includes the american celebration of thanksgiving, a sort of innocuous harvest festival, where thanks is given for the year's blessings.

  a typical family eats a large meal together, including turkey and all the trimmings.

  in recent decades, nfl football, always involving the dallas cowboys and detroit lions, has become part of the routine, as well as drinking beer.. every year or so, the "awake!

  Election Post-Mortem

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  Wow, even Morgan Freeman couldnt sway the vote?

  (I am being sarcastic of course)

  That original post deserves high marks for critical thinking skills Simon, thank you.

  How do they make money off of this? I know in the U.S. they got peoples insurance money.

  I assume there isnt insurance money in Haiti so is it just a charitable contribution in that country?

  well today was the big day.

  we finally let the cat out of the bag to the in-laws about watchtower.

  previously there were unknown rumors being spread about me and today i found out why the wife and i are being shunned.

  I believe there is a stipulation about a family member limiting association with DFd relatives to "Necessary family business."

  Perhaps even though you are not DFd, your father in law has a modified form of that quote in mind?

  They cling to all of that to give themselves a legitimacy they obviously feel needs some help.

  With up to 70% of young ones leaving what's the future of the jw's?

  they wlll always have new people coming in but the majority of the congro's are getting older particularly the inner city ones were it is expensive to live.

  they are struggling to get men to be elders and m.s's and this can only get worse as very few young ones stay around.

  karter..

  As bad as the defection rate among youth is, the success rate for creating JWs from the womb is still higher than that for creating them from the doorstep. So they'll just try to increase the JW reproduction rate and intensify the childhood indoctrination process.

  So, Mormonism style?

  My Story

  by SamTheGinge in

  2. friends

  so, i joined just yesterday after coming across this forum looking at beth sarim, and i though that i would share my story with you.

  it will no doubt be very similar to a lot of others, but it's a way of getting to know me at least.. i was brought up as witness from the age of 4 years old, my dad picked up the 'truth' from one of his friends in the pub and it seemed to go from there, he would quickly get baptised and progress to becoming a ministerial servant and then an elder.

  from a young age i wanted to be like my dad and become a pioneer, a ministerial servant and then an elder... perhaps even becoming a co. the world, spiritually speaking, was my oyster.
