  Did your witness family have a 'Thanksgiving' that wasn't on Thanksgiving?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my family had several elders, ministerial servants, auxillary pioneers etc, so it certainly wasn't one of those 'barely in' families.

  but in certain small ways, i think mine were slightly less hard line than some other families i've heard stories about over the years.

  one example was the 'fall dinner'.

  Are adjustable rate mortgages the norm in the UK?

  perhaps an odd subject for a presumably religious focused discussion board, but there are a fair number of brits here... i'm an american, but i sometimes listen to the podcast of the james o'brien radio show.

  (a brit political radio show where people call in).

  the past few months, a common topic has been people calling in discussing how hard they are getting hit financially because of a dramatic rise in interest rates on their mortgage.

  people who dislike trump will see this as an eyesore and an insult to his first wife and the mother of his 3 children.people who support trump will describe this as a beautiful natural setting, like a woodland.

  this guy: how embarrassing.it's also sad that when it was being filmed, no one thought to tell him "you don't have to over do it..they'll get the point.."now he lives forever in internet infamy.

  the twickenham post made me think of this.

  i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.

  along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".

  Why didn't God create us to be obviously different?

  by SydBarrett in

  2. friends

  a silly question since i'm an atheist but one i thought of as a kid jw.

  why weren't human's created to be obviously different from animals?

  among believers there is some sort of universal hierarchy.

  Poll says Gen Xer's would like to return to pre-internet

  by SydBarrett in

  according to a new harris poll shared exclusively with fast company, most americans would prefer to live in a simpler era before everyone was obsessed with screens and social media, and this sentiment is especially strong among older millennials and gen xers.. asked whether they would like to return to a time before humanity was “plugged in”—meaning before people had wide access to the internet and smartphones—77% of americans age 35-54 said they would, the highest of any group.. .

  what would you consider your ideal level of the internet?

  as a gen x'er, i would not want to go back to the per-internet world, but i would like to go back in some specific technologies.
