  One years has passed since getting the boot. My story, past, present, and beyond.

  so as of today, it is my one year anniversary of being out.

  i simplified it so that most people who know nothing of jws can understand.

  in addition to writing this as self therapy, i plan to use it to educate others in my life who need to know more about where i come from.

  Flood insurance and cover for overland flooding

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the huge floods in alberta the news now is starting to cover the issue of property damange and insurance.. we've never really thought a lot about insurance cover for flooding because it became a big issue in the uk about 5-10 years ago with limited land availability leading to building on flood plains and the eventual inevitable consequences and so when we bought over here we didn't buy anywhere that was a possible flood risk.

  our choice seems to have worked out as we've been completely untouched by the recent issues but tragically, others have been less fortunate and apparently few people are covered for 'overland flooding' which is where water enters your house through doors and windows.. it's hard to really know what is fair.

  i understand the reason why insurers don't cover it and the arguments on both sides.. one one hand, we included the flood risk when puchasing a home.

  i was doing some research on the subject of beliefs and belief systems when i came across an on-line survey/test that supposedly helps you determine which religion or philosophy is most like your current beliefs.

  if you're curious, you can take the quiz here: belief system selector quizafter answering the 20 questions the results were spit out!

  tada!!!.

  What's Your Opinion Of The News Media?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i believe they are very powerful as a group.

  if they dig in and go after someone or something, they are relentless.. conversely, if they choose to ignore something or somebody, the public may never be aware of a matter.. i support freedom of the press and i think they should be applauded for their convictions.

  on the other hand, perhaps more should be expected of them..

  If you believe in Gods laws why dont you go live in Saudi Arabia ?

  by mP in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think we all know that shariah law is basically mohammads copy of the torah, with minor edits.

  slavery, womens inequality, anti homosexuality are obviously written in the same spirit.

  so believers why dont you go live in saudi arabia if yo u believe gods law is perfect or at the last useful ?.

  EXPLAINING (through an experiment) why you believe PRAYER and rituals "work"!

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i propose to test whether a ritual can produce a desired result.. (we pray so that we can get a result, right?).

  try this experiment.. we are going to create a ritual and experimentally test the outcome.

  take 100 pennies and shake them up really well in your hands.. now, you are going to take a sheet of paper and write either heads or tails on it.
