I would intervene personally every time someone attacked or tried to harm someone smaller or weaker, particularly pedophiles. Pedophiles would not survive. Nor would those who exploit the labor and talent of others to enrich themselves.

Raising Children in more than one language
by SonoftheTrinity ini recently told my wife that i am speaking only in the jamaican dialect from now on in my house because she has failed to teach her children her native language because she has put religion first, manners and discipline second, their education third, and her native language somewhere at the bottom.
while i am not jamaican, nor have i been to jamaica i lived in a jamaican rastafarian community as a rastafarian.
i am now orthodox christian as are many rastafarians and i still consider myself culturally rastafarian but no longer identify with their heresies.

I envy people who grew up in bilingual or multi-lingual households. If one can speak Spanish, Chinese and English, he or she can communicate with most of the population of the world.

THE CURRENT FADING OF BRAND NAME "THE WATCHTOWER"
by steve2 inthe current fading of brand name "the watchtower" & the rise, rise, rise of jw.org.
the watchtower as brand name is in the process of being imperceptibly faded from visibility in the organization.
who'd have thought you could make a watchtower fade and disappear?

Just came across this jw comment on the interweb, what do you think?
by disposable hero of hypocrisy inwe are up for a new kind of persecution in the future.
a new form that was unheard of for us.
in australia, disfellowshipped and dissasociated are planning on suing jw for emotional and mental hardship for being cast out completely.

Almost all of the "persecution" I endured as a JW came from my "loving brothers and sisters," not outsiders. They need to take a close look at themselves before crying "persecution" about anyone else!

What to do when my wife is away for a week and I am supposed to attend this years RC?
by suavojr ineasy... skip it!.
but already i had people calling me asking where i was yesterday!!!!
the system the jw's have in place can be compared to a communist regime , where everyone keeps a check on each other.

Can you pretend you're attending a different assembly this year while visiting relatives or taking a trip? I know I recommend this a lot, but pretending to be ill is also a way out. If you must go, have a few drinks beforehand, but not if you are driving. Do you have someone who can drop you off and then get a ride home with someone you know?

Hi, Shirley. Did you think I did not understand she had died? I'm not sure why you told me to re-read the first post. Maybe the last sentence of my post was unclear. Anyway, my last remark was in reference to reincarnation. I don't know if there is such a thing, but, if there is, Ms. Graves could be among us as a youngster.

Chaffee also wrote a book called The Thinker's Way. It has step by step strategies for thinking through situations and figuring out what to do. I recommend it. I also recommend any of Wayne Dyer's books, particularly his first one, entitled Your Erroneous Zones. It's not specifically about critical thinking, but about setting yourself free and not being manipulated.
Happy reading!

There was an article about her in a magazine, maybe TV Guide. I read the article and was very proud of her stand at that time. It's a pity she wasted her life and talent. Maybe she's come back and is living near one of us.
