- a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape.Nothing to do with prophecy, just some WT writer overhearing someone discussing science and hijacking it

Will directing people to jw.org actually prove counter productive?
by eyeslice2 inthere was a time when the society was very skeptical about the internet and the so-called lies and apostate information that was out there.
it sort of was something to be avoided.
over the past ten years, however, it seems they have taken to it with a passion.

The people with no internet will be in the same boat as those who used to not have a quarter for a magazine. Could have been saved except we cant give a mag away. Did anyone really think it cost 25 cents to print one mag?
I heard one person tell someone to look JW com. That brings you here

Why do we see only brown-colored people in USA detention centers?
by Wonderment inwhy are for the most part brown-colored people held in detention centers?
where are the rest of illegal immigrants?i think the question is valid -- as one website noted: "the u.s. government does not maintain reliable demographics of who is in immigration detention..." (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/detention-statistics).
a canadian woman not too long ago said to me (spontaneously - i did not bring up the subject) the following words when she heard the live tv news broadcast, which dealt about the immigrants being held at dozens of detention centers in usa: "i am canadian, and i have been living here illegally for 29 years.

Remember to turn off the tv when any apostate stuff comes on. So no one will see it

Last Thursday's Meeting in Elmira, On
by newsheep ini had gotten a phone call from a brother who was really upset.
he said there was a resolution passed that everyone is in agreement to the selling of the elmira hall.
the strange thing is at the congregation picnic an elder told him that a few years ago the deed to the hall was signed over to the org.

Not done to parliamentary procedures in most cases. There are laws about resolutions that are ignored. Kind of a kangaroo vote. I knew one old time who commented on the waste of time because everyone just followed along

Did you ever thought this?
by Theonlyoneleft inso.. you are a jw or studying, living your life and doing your bit, feverish of spreading the good news to everyone that will listen!.
you prep yourself for meetings, doing your ministry and applying all that there is into your daily life.. so....i have a question... you know... my clogs.
when you where completely in the religion, did you ever think about the impact of your way of life and religion towards others, specially those that lived around you such as good friends or family members that didn’t studied?

Easy choice. Put on jeans and go to work with friends or put on a necktie and knock on doors accompanied by who knows

Well written, scathing article that summarises first 3 days of RC hearing.
by Pants of Righteousness inthere's been quite a number newspaper articles quoted over the past week, but i would recommend this as a good summary of the first three days of the royal commission hearing in australia - complete with some scathing commentary.. apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but have not seen this posted previously.. https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-crime/2015/08/01/royal-commission-examines-jehovah-witnesses-cover/14383512002194.
just one thing that is not quite right is that the article refers to joe bello as a narrogin elder.
the assualts took place while the victim was part of the narrogin congregation.
