  The Threat From Ebola by Somebody Who Discovered It

  by cofty in

  1. social
  2. current

  this interview in der spiegel is well worth your time.... peter piot was one of the scientists who discovered ebola in 1976. turns out it was the fault of catholic nuns who coldn't be bothered to sterilise the needles they were using to administer vitamins to pregnant women.. he describes the present outbreak as "a perfect storm" which could claim a frightening number of lives in africa and india.

  he doesn't see it as a serious threat to countries with a modern health care system.. "i still remember exactly: one day in september, a pilot from sabena airlines brought us a shiny blue thermos and a letter from a doctor in kinshasa in what was then zaire...".

  tommie robinson has reported often about what he sees as the demise of british society by the imposition of 'sharia' norms.. https://www.infowars.com/update-tommy-robinson-gets-13-months-for-livestreaming-outside-courthouse/?utm_source=nightly+newsletter&utm_campaign=9e3ceb30f6-email_campaign_2018_05_25_03_10&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e12661a83c-9e3ceb30f6-38680565.

  yesterday he was jailed for 13 months for reporting outside a court in the uk.

  his was a non violent offence.. what no community service?

  No one fancy Dianne Abbott?

  I live in Aus but I have seen YouTube videos of her with Andrew Neill and Michael Portillo etc. Is she for real or were those just off days?

  My dental theory

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while enjoying one of my favourite snacks the other day, (hula hoops) i suddenly had this thought; if ever a metal nut is hard to loosen with a wrench, usually a a couple of sharp hits with a hammer is enough to break the grip of whatever is holding it - usually rust.

  similarly, crunching on foods which can impart small shockwaves to a capped tooth could have the same effect and cause the hardened dental cement to fracture and loosen the crown.

  (cap).

  Stripping thin electric cable with your front teeth is a poor idea as well. Broke a tiny piece off between the teeth. From then on I look for the cable stripper.

  jp.... any way that this could be combined with zeb’s post to cover sales in countries that mainly use this forum? It would be more interesting then.

  I realise there could be a tremendous amount of work involved.

  Norwegian Article in English: THE ELDER

  by AndersonsInfo in

  you’ll find this article very long and very interesting.

  it was published as part of a series of articles in a quality newspaper in southern norway.

  as seen from the article, the journalists have been working on this article for several months.

  Thanks for this.

  His worst punishment is yet to come. When and if he comes out of prison he has to face the remainder of his miserable existence with no family or friends, and the possible prospect of further criminal charges in Norway.

  Maybe not quite what you want.

  Caboolture, Queensland kh sold about nine years ago. Large prime block of land bought about three years ago. $1,000,000 plus seized by the society in The Great Raid. New hall “approved” approx one year ago. Recently announced no new hall. My prophecy is that land will be sold within twelve months.

  It ws an Australasia only talk. My wife left home at 11.30 Saturday taking her lunch with her for the forty minute drive.

  WT was first then an hour long talk by Robert Ciranko. Something about building a relationship with Jehovah.

  Seemed alright when she came home though so the talk couldn’t have been too potent.

  I searched everywhere I could think for it but found nothing. Seems like Aus really is the bowels of the earth.

  I looked at jwtalk.net and comments on reddit. It seems to have taken everyone by surprise. I told my wife and she mentioned it at field service meeting this morning...AEST....An elder who I know well said he will pop round and see me. I am looking forward to that as I have a small list of items to hit him with (gently) including the cancelled Kingdom Hall build. As long as he comes alone.
