Do You Regard President Obama In The Same Way As You Did BEFORE The Election?

lately, even late night comedians are starting to make fun of the president.. i hear more negatives about the president than ever before---even from his own voters.. (i had high hopes for him when he beat mccain but since then, i believe the president has been a huge disappointment)..

Do You Regard President Obama In The Same Way As You Did BEFORE The Election?

Yup.

It hardly matters which puppet we vote for anymore. They're all liars in the end.

What constitutes 'proof' on JWN?

by besty in

jw
friends

recently there have been a few threads where claims have been made alledging personal negative effects in 'real life' following internet activity on jwn and other ex-jw related sites.

discussion then ensues, aspects of which may include 3rd parties either disputing the truth or affirming the likelihood of the claim.

questions are asked.

No more district assemblies in Tri-Cities. News article

by Indian Larry in

for years the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses has held a regional convention in the tri-cities, attracting about 16,000 of the faithful who spend an estimated $8.6 million while in town.. .

but they won't be coming in 2014.. "what they told me is the decision has been made nationally to downsize the number of conventions from 400 to 100. they're simply consolidating," said kris watkins, president and ceo of the tri-cities visitor & convention bureau in kennewick.. .

Ahhh, my old stomping grounds. I was born and raised in Kennewick WA. I lived there for 19 years I don’t remember exactly which year it was, but we used to attend the conventions in Tacoma WA. Then when I was a pre or early teen they switched to Kennewick. Washington does have an Assembly hall not far from Tacoma in Puyallup. I have wondered why they didn’t make everyone just travel to Puyallup to save money. Either way, it was nice having the convention only 5 min away.

Someone commented at the end of the article… “The witnesses are holding many extra large international conventions in 2014 -thus fewer smaller district conventions.”

Personality types and religious adherence

i was going through the personality types of the briggs-myers test (take the free test here) and noticed how some types are naturally inclined to follow rules and expect order, while others are inclined towards feelings and emotional appeals, other are naturally inclined to help out others ... what do you think?

are there certain basic personality types that pre-dispose the individual to adhere to a certain type of religion ?.

Londo - LOL. I just finished the test and then read your post. My personality type is an ESFJ.

Let's Hate on TV

perhaps, you're a fan of tv, perhaps, you're not.

maybe, you like some aspects of it and not others.. my favorite tv hates are 'news', and commercials.

i always mute the commercials.

dazed but not confused

I have always had a love hate relationship with TV. Then the DVR came out so I could skip the commercials. In the last year or more I noticed I didn’t really watch anything but local channels and HBO/SHOWTIME when certain series were on. I figured why pay 65 to 100+ a month for local channels and the occasional Dexter or Boardwalk Empire. I canceled satellite and picked up HULU Plus and Netflix. And I discovered VUDU which have all the series for me to buy at $2 an episode or $23 a season. Dexter and all the other series I’d watch are there on VUDU.
