  If I needed it, yes.

  In the same way I would happily accept any other medical treatment that gives me the chance to upset people on here a bit longer.

  Currently my two youngest children are a white minority in their classes, the teaching staff are slowly being replaced by multi language speakers (which stands to reason) and the school governors are now 50% non-white

  And that's a problem because?

  A sex grooming gang of paedophilic Asian men made the national news and they used a flat above a shop , in view of my house (~100 metres away.) Most of them got away with it. The story has been published in a book called 'I never gave my consent'. My wife's former employer was told to sell his business to an Asian businessman and then was beaten up and robbed. He sold. The same happened to the local autorepair company - its now Asian owned. My wife gets weekly abuse in her current job - mainly from Asian , male youths (not exclusively but mainly.) The local drug dealers are based around the Asian taxi firm which is just around the corner from my house where they run an illegal repair shop from a private dwelling. Each night Asian youths park up around the house smoking and dealing.

  Criminals are criminals because they are criminals, not because they are a different race to you. Go to another town and the local feral youths will all be white.

  So this is what I mean - the incumbent population are being replaced.

  You don't seem to mind when it's the poles replacing the incumbent population, but you seem to think it's a problem when the darkies are doing it.

  Very scary: Canada's push to censor criticising Islam is dangerous and has scary implications for cults like the JW

  by kpop in

  i am very worried about this latest law that (surprise!

  ) a muslim immigrant wants to make into law in canada using all of canada's powers to stop anything that might be critical of islam, labeling it as "islamophobia.

  " well this should be very frightening to all of us here, especially since we know what happens when you are not allowed to openly criticize a religion, or a thought, or politics!

  God answers JW prayers about trivialities while ignoring the abuse of little children

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've heard many experiences about how jehovah answers the prayers of jw's - convention items about pioneers gas bills, car repairs, job opportunities.

  now, if this is true, you are actually stating that god has directly intervened in your life.

  taken action on your behalf.

  Intercessory prayer has always been one of the things that wound me up and was instrumental in me not going any more.

  US news article about low JW education causing problems in life - interesting

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  good article, a must read, from my perception.. i did a bachelor and master since 2001, having the same opinion, for a better present and future and for my and family sake: being an educated person, gaining respect and being proud of what i could realize in life.

  a win - win situation.. http://www.npr.org/tags/510831679/jehovahs-witnesses.

  for present jw and non present jw's, take your change and take the path to higher education.. g.. g..

  you expect a President to research before he speaks

  Actually thinking before he speaks would be a start!

  Cooked food and the evolution of man.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching a documentary on the development of man and they were indicating that the eating of high protein diet was helping man to grow a bigger brain and then went on to say that cooking the food was the breakthrough on how our brain became bigger then other animals that ate a lot of protein.

  does this make any sense to you and what science if any shows cooked protein is better in any way over raw?

  your thoughts..

  Another interesting sideline is that we've developed lactose tolerance only fairly recently as a species. Our natural state as adults is to lactose intolerant.

  The true cost of being raised as a witness

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how do you view your upbringing as a witness?.

  most of us who were raised as witnesses would appreciate that some aspects of our upbringing were ok. a foundation and measure of stability came with it.. but, it struck me too, that we also lost so very much!

  and we lost a lot of potential.. by this i mean, we need to look at not just what we lost, or what was deprived of us, but what that ended up costing us as adults into the future.. if i take $10 from you, you have lost just $10.. but, if you were going to use that $10 to buy something that would end up earning you $1000, then i actually took $1000 from you!.

  And as you get older and focus out still further, you might realise when you look inside yourself, that you create your entire universe, and take the ultimate responsibility for everything, hold no hurt and no malice.

  That deserves a lot more than the the one like I can give it.

  The sly tactics the elders are using to malign my name!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have had it confirmed now, that since stopping attending over 18 months ago, the elders have set out to deliberately ruin my name and character .. they have been talking to every witness from the local area and saying things like "be careful of him, he has the ability to implant thoughts in your minds, and he only pretends to be kind and caring".

  so, all i have to say to them is, "bravo!

  if that is the method you want to employ, you have reached the very depths of bad behaviour!".
