Quote:

In another Golden Age they printed a "flight of fantasy" about the future on the subject of "Negative Gravitation." It was a speculative article on overcoming gravity by "negative gravity" which is a repelling force. The author said this was the newly discovered "radiant energy" or "radio-activity"! The following was said about how accidents could be avoided in the coming Golden Age with the use of a "negative gravity [radio-active?] device":

MANY have wondered how accidents would be avoided during Christ's kingdom, since we are told that nothing shall then hurt or destroy. Most accidents are due to gravitation and its effects. Falling from airplanes... etc., may be avoided by an individual negative gravity device.
Scientists tell us that there is enough atomic energy in a finger-nail to propel a battleship. The people of the future may carry a little of this energy around with them, and if they fall down an elevator shaft they can let themselves down easy. Then they can turn a little more on and go back up. ... No danger of falling down stairs then. [19] End of Quote...
It is showing a referral for [19] as 19. Ibid., March 24, 1926, p. 404
All I could find under 8-25-1926 was for Germs..aliuminum etc..quite funny actually..Wilson, F. L. "Fermentation and the Germ Theory." Golden Age Aug. 25, 1926 p. 749-754

Suicide - How many do you know within the JWs

by Lady Lee in

thw wts likes to play games with their statistics.

one interesting but truly tragic is the number of jwhovah's witnesses who commit suicie.. now i suspect that if a person commits suicide shortly before or after they are disfellowshipped then the elders would say that person wasn't a witness or that they had done something so terrible that they were too guilty to admit it and by their action of committing suicide they pretty much declared they were no longer a jw.. yup fancy talk to make sure any crap didn't fall on them.. so my question.. do you know of cases like this?

if so then can you answer a few more questions.. had this person been dfed or in real danger of being dfed or whatever the equivalent is if they were never baptized?.

Snoozy

A JW? Knew one that threatened but never did... I did know of a "worldly" person that shot his wife in the basement and made the kids watch..he served some years in jail and then got out, got custody of his kids and remarried..amazing legal system we have..
They lived next door to a witness..

Gave 5 JW's Something to Think About at a Starbucks Today

by flipper in

jw
friends

i was having coffee at a starbucks located in a supermarket chain in one of the towns i work in my business .

while sitting there doing paperwork , what looked like 3 elders on their field service break sat at a table no more than 4 feet from me .

after eavesdropping it was obvious they were elders as they were talking about the c.o.

Snoozy

I hope they read it and not consider it "from the devil"..

I'm afraid I would open up and not stop..you did very well and a good example for others here..keep up the good work!.

Like you said, you never know..lol Didn't they teach us that?..

The last article I read about a JW child molestor and how he only got 20 months is still fuming in my mind!

Help! Help!! Desperately need DOGGIE help!!! Help with a doggie!!!!

by ziddina in

i hope this is the correct category..... since pets are kinda sorta like "family", anyway..... a friend of mine (who lives about 25 miles away, in the center of the city) recently lost her beloved six-year-old spayed female daschund doggie under very tragic circumstances.. her other dog, an eight-year-old neutered male daschund, has been inconsolable since her loss.

so my friend decided to adopt another small dog - a spayed female daschund - one that was rescued from a breeder..... this poor little dog has lived in a cage for her entire life!!!

all six years of her life - in what was, in effect, a doggie concentration camp.... she is not "socialized" in any way, shape or form.

Don't brush off the kennel cage idea..that is what they recommend..as some said to leave the door open for them. That was their home and that is where they feel safe. My daughter has a rescue dog and he still doesn't know anything about socializing. He just stares at you if you throw a ball at him. Thankfully he has attached himself to their other dog..she helped show him how to eat and potty etc.

He is terrified of storms and tries to get as high off the ground as possible. He weighs 150 pounds so he just climbs on the couch and digs frantically or jumps on their bed and digs in the pillows. He pants and tries to hide on July 4th . I think he was left outside in storms and possible got a lightning strike on his cage or someone hit the cage and jarred him..he doesn't like the noise at all. He also eats a lot. he would eat till he throws up if he was allowed to. He also eats feces..it has to be cleaned up in the yard daily. I think that is because he was never out of the cage before and they get bored or hungry. The list goes on but as far as the cage with the door open in a quiet place is what he needs in my opinion and a few others here..they feel secure. I know many that even leave their dog in them at night time..The dogs don't seem to mind.

Watch Cesars show if it is on where you are..he does a lot of rescue work.

I'm sure you can find a lot of info on the internet.

Thoughts on turning 65 today

by Terry in

jw
friends

today is my 65th birthday.. chances are you have no idea what that means.. would you like to know?

turning 65 can only be described using these two words:.

the first: anagnorisis the moment of critical discovery; the discovery of one's own identity or true character.

Snoozy

Happy Birthday oldtimer... Hope you have a fun day. Congratulate yourself on making it this far and think of all the experiences you have to remember..and forget...and remember...and forget...

Snoozy..a just getting ready to live 70 years old next year..

In this modern information age, don't JWs browse the Internet for information at all?

by DilemmaGF in

i am just curious, there are tonnes of information about the wt and the stories of its hypocrisies in the internet.

are they aware of all these?

or they just obediently go to the www.watchtower.org only, and never feel curious enough to click on other link that mentions about jw, wt etc.....

Snoozy

I had one girl tell me her JW mom says the internet is evil ..and refuses to use it.

I have other JW's that are on the internet (facebook) all the time..go figure..

Typical of the religion..

One thing that I learned as a JW

by Jim_TX in

jw
friends

i was thinking the other day about what 'good' things that i may have learned as a jw.

i know that i probably have a few 'good' habits, as a result of being a jw... of course, i've also picked up a few 'bad' habits, too after leaving that religion, dammit.

(<--- note: for the humor-impaired, i'ma cussin.).

Snoozy

I found a lot of it after my JW hubby died..sad but true.
