More Earthquakes for Christchurch NZ - spare a thought for Sizemik and others
by Broken Promises inearthquakes continued unrelentingly in christchurch on saturday, including one measuring 5.l at 6.37am (0437 aedt), as residents of the city prepared for a christmas overshadowed by an ongoing natural disaster.. quakes measuring 5.8 and 6.0 on friday left dozens of people with minor injuries, while damage echoed previous quakes that had rattled the city since september last year.. saturday's morning quake was located 10km east of akaroa at a depth of 9km, gns science said.. there were also two magnitude 4.2 quakes and two magnitude 4.3 quakes overnight and many other smaller shakes.. there are still about 400 residents without power on the eastern side of the city and aftershocks have cut water supply to the suburbs of sumner, redcliffs, moncks bay, balmoral hill, richmond hill, clifton and scarborough, parts of st andrews hill and mt pleasant.. the palms shopping mall, which serves the eastern suburbs, is not opening on saturday.. however, public transport is operating and a carols by candlelight concert is going ahead at hagley park north on saturday night.. "liquefaction, rockfalls and water supply are the main areas of concern following yesterday's cluster of aftershocks in christchurch," the ministry of civil defence and emergency management said on saturday.. on friday belongings fell from shelves in homes, others were swamped by liquefaction, windows smashed and once again stock was destroyed in stores where business as usual had only just resumed for the pre-christmas rush.. malls were evacuated, as was christchurch airport, disrupting travel for holidaymakers and those heading home for the festive season.. power was knocked out to 26,000 customers and phone lines became jammed, but key infrastructure, including water and sewerage, were largely unaffected.. some quake-weary residents once again left their homes.. denise and max ferris, who live in the eastern hill suburb of mt pleasant, packed up their young daughter, her new kitten and their car and headed to leeston, 40 minutes drive southwest of christchurch, for a reprieve.. their home was too damaged again to stay in overnight.. "we would be lucky if there are six people left in our street," mrs ferris said.. the family plan to return home for christmas day but expect to have a picnic outdoors, not trusting it will be safe indoors.. "like most people, we have to try and make it as normal as possible under very trying conditions," she told nz newswire.. deputy mayor ngaire button was adamant the quakes would not set back the city's recovery.. "we believe that this event will pass quickly and that we'll all be able to enjoy christmas on sunday.".
geonet project director ken gledhill told aap the quakes are part of a pattern that has been seen repeatedly since september 2010, with aftershocks petering off ahead of quakes last boxing day, and in february and june.. .

watchtower feeding time
by ssn587 inhad a thought, yeah i know they come every now and then, of how it is that the wt really feeds the sheep, they are all captive in a pen and the gb is shoveling manure to feed them and they are eating it up only to get indigestion, and yet they want more of it, seems to me that after eating a lifetime of bs from the gb one would wtfu.
but no for some it will never happen as they have become acclimated to eating the bs that is feed them.
for those that have waken up and jumped the fence so to speak, they find that the grass is truly greener on the other side of the fence, and we have hope that those sitting atop the fence will see that..

Communist sta art & WTS publication art
by Gorbatchov intoday i read in a newspaper an article about north korean and chinese state art.
the style of painting is "extreme naive".. these paintings remembers me of the wts paintings in their publications.
with a smile, and also with pain in my heart i'm watching the similarities.. .

origin of worship?
by cptkirk inwhen you take an honest look at life, it's pretty pathetic.
the fact that it exists at all.
the law of nature is kill or be killed....if you're a fish, you've got predator sharks looking to eat you.

More and more shunning going on?
by Snoozy inis it just me or does it seem like there are more posts about shunning than usual?.
i take it that between the ex jw's and the internet the jw's are having a hard time holding on to their people.
of course they don't want their people anywhere around someone that might wise them up to what the jw's are doing to them..striving to keep them as isolated as possible.. if that isn't a cult i don't know what is.. i feel so sad for family member that are going throught this and unable to be with their loved ones because of some idiot religion that seems to appeal to some ..it must fulfill some need in their life.

The Watchtower is NOT a false prophet
by The Quiet One inregarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.
but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.
that would clearly have been a mistake.

i here make the claim The Quiet One is a troll.
Why? How?
all active JW just cant help themselves from talking s&%t. He/she said i wont reply after i have posted this thread. Cant help themselves but to reply.like they always gotta have the last word. Go back from whence you came The Quite One what have we to do with you?

1980s Music Lives On in my Heart.
by Azazel ingreetings to all this is my new thread dedicated to that most entertaining of decades the 1980s!.
what i propose is to post youtube links to a favourite song and give a brief description and maybe why i liked it.. please feel free to comment and add your own video clips.. i missed out on all the glam of the 80s rock videos as it was considered too worldly to watch for a good jw teenager.. all genres are good but my particular favourite style was the new romantiscism artists.. to start this thread off the first video was made in 1979 ( blown it already i hear you say)no this song set the theme of what was to come in the next decade.. "video killed the radio star"- the buggles 1979. .
