I thought he was a personable speaker. Not sure what the OP doesn't like about him, though he does perhaps pour on the charm a little too sickly sweet.

Killing In Self Defense

by Cold Steel in

the man was moving around in the darkness of j's home with a gun.

he was certain j. and his family weren't there, but he was wrong.

when a door suddenly opened and a dark figure fumbled for the hallway light, he had only a moment to act.

I wasn't extrapolating anything, I was just trying to understand your reasoning. I still don't. I guess if you stay out of bad neighborhoods or carry enough "mugging money" you'll probably be fine?

Anyway, nobody should want to shoot another person, and I was disagreeing earlier with the Drty Harry mentality of "if anyone breaks into my house, I'm just going to open fire on them". But as Cold Steel demonstrated, having a gun is often a sufficient deterrent, without having to use it.

weekday afternoons: a soap opera featuring judicial committees, demon possessions, and wives clamoring to be the ones who host the circuit overseer's lunch.

saturday mornings: sparlock cartoon.

friday evenings: reality show featuring jw dating.

Apognophos

Great ideas; I love rebel8's, especially the People's Court judicial committee show.

Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime (NYTimes)

by NewYork44M in

Gregor, considering pedophilia a disorder does not prevent anyone from locking up pedophiles who abuse kids, and putting them on registries when they get out.

to give you some background on who i am i can say that i'm a girl in my late teens and live in western europe.

my mom is a jw and my dad is not.

Give it some time. If you're going to college, you'll no doubt make friends there.

Do we know for sure what happens after death?

by Yondaime in

christian denominations say we go to heaven, witness say we stay alseep until ressurection.

quran says when we go we grt 72 virgins, unless we blow some people up.. .

i'm not really concerned with death atm, i'm not dead.

Apognophos

The only thing anyone can say for sure is that we should make this life count.

WT asking people to sell and uproot life to help w/ temporary building projects...

by EndofMysteries in

check out the new jan 2015 study wt, article, they offer themselves willingly.

they give examples of young and middle age brothers and sisters who are selling their dream homes, uprooting their lives, etc, to move to help w/ building branches, etc, and how they know it's only temporary but not worried about what happens when they send them home.

they then say will you put jah to the test and see if he won't open the flood gates of blessings for you.
