Hi! Life story of young, 23-year-old (gay), disassociated, non-baptized publisher
by HillCountry inhello, this is my first post and the first time i have told my entire story, albeit abridged, to anyone.
it will be a long story, sorry.. my grandparents were brought up with different religious backgrounds but converted to bible students around the depression era.
later, my grandfather met my grandmother through the congregation and got married until his death, having a marriage that lasted over four decades.

Vi tuller ikke med tegnspråk i denne artiklen. Bare den ekstreme motsetningen mellom det denne glattslikkede narren står for, og hvordan han han fremstiller visse aktiviteter. "
translated: We are not mocking ASL in this article. Only the extremity in the differences between what this slippery licked lunatic is representing and how he portrays certain activities.

This is an American cultural thing.... The sentiments against breast feeding are not the same everywhere... In my country of Norway public display of breast feeding is everywhere and most people accept that without any problems whatsoever.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! ADVENTISTS' GROWTH RATE IN BRAZIL OUTSTRIPS JWS'
by steve2 injoker10 started a thread some days ago - putatively just to "inform" us - about the growth of self-identifying jehovahs witnesses in brazil across two census periods, the year 2000 to the year 2010. this led to some enlivened discussion about growth rates, including in particular how this compared with other similar 'vintage' 'christianized' religions such as the mormons (latter-day saints of the church of jesus christ) and seventh-day adventists (sdas).
joker10 readily obliged by posting within the same day the relevant growth rates for the latter-day saints in brazil over the same census periods.
the jw growth rate easily outstripped those for the latter-day saints.

It will probably make no problem whatsoever as witnesses no longer object to civilian service which is normally a duty given to those who object to compulsury military service.
