  Doesn't the firing squad have to do with the Mormon doctrine of blood atonement?

  i learned this past week that my wife is now awake.

  i just shared the pbs newshour segment with her with no comment other than something along the lines of, "jw story on pbs.".

  she is furious at the arrogance of these men.. thats what happens when you get a momma angry!.

  I suggest you both exchange time spent with Bible reading and religious texts, with long hikes and walks in the woods, along with a gentle practice of being silently present in and with the moment.

  I'm currently exploring Buddhist philosophy, so "being silently present in and with the moment" is precisely what I'm trying to do.

  She's not quite to the point yet to abandon theism, although she has stopped praying.

  Here's the talk in context. (It made the jw-archive and is being played off as being taken out of context.)

  (If someone has time or the know-how to download from SoundCloud, you probably should as the Librarian is apt to remove the talk because it's being linked on an Apostate website.)

  i don't know if anybody has seen this (or if anybody cares).

  but it seems that some of the "new" new songs have been leaked by somebody at bethel.. just a bit of a warning, do not click on that vocal rendition of song 142... it is awful.

  Are the audio files orchestrations or piano?

  The elder's book specifically prohibits anyone recording a meeting.

  Oubliette: Right. But what do they do if the person keeps showing up with a recorder, fully willing to cooperate with the committee, but only under the condition of being allowed to record it? Would they just DF the person in absentia? Or would they keep attempting to have the meeting only to have to postpone it because the person shows up with a recorder again?

  IKEA Bekant motorised standing desk

  by Simon in

  if you're anything like me and have a desk job you will sit for long periods of the day and it's very unhealthy according to lots of studies.. one thing you can do to change that is to stand - you burn more calories as well as reducing health risks.

  yes, it hurts (like hell) at first and you really need a chef's mat to stand on and ideally some hard foam 'things' you can put one foot on to allow you to change your position.

  you can also get 'standing stools' like the mogo to give a bit of a half-way house:.

  The black desk with white legs actually looks really good.

  I know there have been undercover recordings of JC meetings, but has anyone ever openly insisted on recording the proceedings?

  Show up to every JC meeting scheduled, but openly pull a tape recorder out. And when told to turn it off, refuse to do so.

  Would they proceed while being recorded? Or would they reschedule, reschedule, reschedule or DF you in absentia. Can they DF you in absentia if you're willing to meet, although you bring a tape recorder every time you meet?

  They're now counting them as "tracts" placed, so people can feel like they're accomplishing something.

  There's a place to mark "tracts" on the time slip? Shows how long it's been since I turned in an actual slip instead of texting some BS hours.

  As I looked at this link and the article it showed the picture of Kelly Richards at the top of the article, but it shows the picture of another woman in two pictures in the middle of the page being escorted by a man into a car. Is THIS the same woman as the top of the page ? If it is my eyes are doing tricks on me ! The woman at the top looks nothing like the woman with the man in the middle of the article .

  I was thinking the same thing.

  Only thing I can think of is that perhaps the picture at the top was taken at the time of the assault (2011-2012) and that since she got busted, she's stuffed her face with fish & chips or haggis or black pudding or whatever those people eat over there.
