just watched the news about the air canada crash in halifax that they want to claim was just a "hard landing".. i can only imagine the distinction matters for insurance purposes otherwise they are just being idiots.
pretty poor behavior for the airline whatever the motivation imo.. now i'm no plane expert but i think when then plane is smashed up, the engines have come off and the nose is in pieces that should be obviously classed as a crash.
if you can't take off again then you have been in a crash, not a hard landing.. .
I am a ExJW.... because ...

in a recent thread someone mentioned that the wtbts uses mind control techniques.

the lingo seems very very famillar with the bullying that the elders give us all.

"we told you to rely on Jehovah .. and you DIDN"T !" he yells at him right in the begining..
complete and finished.. .
no dictionary has ever been able to satisfactorily define the difference between "complete" and "finished.
" however, during a recent linguistic conference, held in london , england , and attended by some of the best linguists in the world.
You have a compete set of instructions and parts, but the project won't be finished till everything is assembled ..
everything finished is complete ... everything complete is not always finished ..
just like every sugar is a carbohydrate .. but every Carb is not always a sugar..
we often hear the phrase.
its used to accuse.... they did not follow j's arrangement, you have to live by j's arrangement.
or to brag.... its all due to j's arrangement , we work with his org, and according to the arrangement.
It's a word used to make some one feel special while they are being controlled..hint it can be self induced too!
it's a way of transferring authority on any mundane or any ordinary BS into the Divine
and a way too Boss people around I guess
jws refrain from voting in the political elections saying politics belongs to satan (in obvious violation of bible statement that secular governments are gods minister on earthromans 13:1-6) being built on american soil, there is no reason to think that jws are ignorant of our founding fathers like benjamin franklin who wrote in his autobiography that good leadership rested on the foundation of moral and spiritual character.
he lists in it 13 virtues (such as contentment, humility ......) he valued the most which became the basis of a chart that he used daily to check his attitude and behaviors!.
he tells us that contentment is the greatest asset one can have (because you may have everything else you can dream of, yet if you do not have contentment, it is like you have nothing), yet it is something you are born with, the essential quality of your being.
good point!
