  Do You Think The GOVERNMENT Should Require You To Wear A Seatbelt?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  in new hampshire, the council that has power to make laws happen, voted against the mandatory seat belt law.

  it appears that seat belt use will remain voluntary.

  do you believe the government should require such laws??

  No other safety innovation in the history of the automobile has saved more lives than seat belts. In addition to that, they are cheap and very unintrusive. Without your seat belt on, the other safety mechanisms in your car do not function properly - for example, an air bag does not help you if you are not in the proper position.

  Vehicle accidents cause billions of dollars of cost to society. If you expect society to pick up the pieces of your life in the event of a catastrophe (and everyone does), then the least you can do is cooperate in such a minor way.

  So, once again, the JWs publicly expose themselves for the stupid and backward organization that they are. I don't expect them to get any smarter, but one of these days, their PR department will step in and put and end to this.

  I think the most telling thing about this post is that we are unable to determine if it is real or if it is a joke - their best theology is indistinguishable from parody.

  I agree that the more adamantly they fight these things, the worse the publicity gets.

  The society really should have to pay the entire legal costs of the idiotic cases they bring forward. Not only are they burning a fortune in public legal costs, but the health care professionals that should be at the hospital are tied up in court.

  Someone should sue the society for misappropriate public health resources.

  Has anyone been in one of the dramas while a JW?

  by Nowman in

  2. friends

  it probably was one of my few happy moments of being a jw.

  my mom, dad, and i were asked to be in the modern day drama, think it was in 1988-1990 (not sure exactly).

  i played a worldly girl named "dolly winters" who was considered a bold and brazon girl who eventually studied to become one of jws because of a good example jw that she went to school with.

  When playing Israelites, us pasty folk had to wear panty hose to make us look swarthy. I got my mother to buy a pair for me. That's the only time I've worn them. Honest.

  My wife and I played a young couple who slipped a bit due to starting a business in the 1986 thriller, "Beware of losing faith by drawing away from Dog."

  I also had another role. I don't like to brag or anything, but it was my performance in the Jeremiah drama that turned the name "man 3" into a household word. I was the guy who helped the guy who helped the guy who pulled Jeremiah out of the well.

  Expel Demons By Using The Name Jehovah

  by Beer Connoisseur in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower encourages its members to use the name "jehovah" when they encounter demonic influence.

  when i look in the watchtower bible, early christians used another name.. mark 16:17. luke 10:17. acts 16:16-18 & 19:11-16. why would the watchtower use a different name?

  have they gone beyond what is written?

  Don't forget that if you are attacked by demons in a place where you can't call out "Jehovah" (like the library or a business meeting) you can get by in a pinch if you just think "Jehovah" forcefully.
