Smiddy, I have read about 5 books on NK and the man you are talking about has a book out called "Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom" by Blaine Harden. It is an excellent book and it will break your heart knowing what he went through along with thousands of other people from there. I hope they will be free very soon because the conditions in NK are terrible.

Who is running North Korea?
by fulltimestudent inkim jong un has not been seen in public for over a month.
and that has lead to all sorts of speculation.. has he had a stroke?
maybe, he is clearly obese.. last time he was seen he was limping.

You are very fortunate they are still talking to you because according to "their rules" they are suppose to shun you. It doesn't matter that you left when you were young but the fact that you got baptized and dedicated your life is all they care about. If you want to keep them in your life I would be careful with what you tell them and how you go about telling them the real truth.

North Korea In Flux?
by metatron inhttp://entertainment.ie/life/kim-jong-un-is-apparently-not-in-control-of-north-korea-anymore/298031.htm.
this follows other odd reports from other sources: that un's sister is in charge, that the capital is locked down and that the number 2 man in north korea is meeting with south korean reunification officials.. .
can we hope that this affront to human decency is now changing?

Interesting, I hope there will be big changes there because the people of NK live in horrible conditions with very little food and clean water.

Video of JW's street witnessing using a tablet ... getting owned by BIble users
by wannabefree ini came across this video ... and watched it ... why?
i don't know really, but i found it intersting.. especially interesting was how these men used the bible, they knew their message, they used an actual hard copy bible that has obviously been studied, and the older jw man, well, he was using a tablet.
it seemed cumbersome compared to using the actual bible.

I honestly think the tablets could backfire on them. Many Christians especially the older generations, feel the actual Bible is holy and they would never even write or high lite in them like many JW's do. I really am surprised they have gone to the tablets out in the ministry instead of the actual book.

I just went through the same thing and I had a hard time getting rid of all of the spyware and whatever else they attached to my computer. My husband worked on it for hours and finally we called our computer guy out and he cleaned up the rest. It is so irritating because you can't do much of anything when the pop ups come one right after the other. Malware Bytes didn't work with the mess I had. I have no problems with pop ups when I use my IPad.

Come with me, back to the 1980s--you know want to.
by FlyingHighNow ini don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?

Aunt Fancy
I was in high school in the 70's so for me they were great years. Part of the 80's were good except for 1986 when I made the worst mistake of my life and was baptized, my life was never the same after that until I got out two years ago.
Cantleave, I did those crazy perms in the 80's too! I even came across a picture where I did an Afro, what in the world was I thinking?!? Lol!

I saw his interview and he was giving God the credit for saving his life. It has bothered me for years that people will make those claims and yet so many millions of people died from lack of proper nutrition, filthy conditions, no medical care and it goes on and on. Then you have these athletics who praise God and thank them for winning the Olympics or their game but what about the other athletics, are they not loved by God?
it makes no sense when you use logic and look at the whole picture. Such a sad thing to do to others.
