  any thoughts on mr. taylor?s claims?.

  u.s. demands greater oil output, lower prices.

  "finance ministers from the united states and other major industrialized countries, hoping to affect the outcome of a battle within the organization for the petroleum exporting countries, formally demanded yesterday that oil-exporting nations raise production and lower prices to a level 'that is consistent with lasting economic prosperity,'" the new york times reports.

  hello everyone, i am new to this discussion board.

  hello i am new and this will probably be the last time i post.

  nice forum by the way but honestly and with all due respect it is not something i would like to be associated with.

  i joined saying "oh cool a jw forum" but after reading just 2 posts i realized it is the black veil all over again.

  Most of us were in his shoes at one time or another. lets have a little understanding.

  This site is called Jehovahs-Witness Discussion Forum. Nowhere does it say for current JWs only. People from many different faiths & beliefs come there, JW or Not. Because of the JW rule about shunning those who speak negative. we don't have a lot of current JW's here, but there are a few. They probably won't give you their congregation due to fear of losing their "life as they know it."

  Also, H. A lot of people were hurt by the JW Org (not just particular individuals in the Org, but the Org itself) so they will have resentment. Many people feel tricked into believing and following the JWs for decades of their lives, decades they can't get back. Its understandable people have resentment to that religion. These aren't insults to you directly. And a final note, try not to act superior to non-JW's. That won't get you far here, or in life for that matter. We arn't poor fools who just cant handling serving Jehovah, some here just made up our mind that JWs are not the true and only religion.

  Thanks for sticking around!

  and now, for a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with jehovah's witnesses!

  (or with contemporary politics.).

  i was listening to regie hamm's album american dreams tonight (which i highly recommend), and i was struck by a line from the song old man.

  France's WW-II Ceremony Acompanied by Protests vs. USA

  i was wondering what the french had to say on d-day celebrations in their own country.

  they will have a week of celebrations, but:

  en tant que representant des etats-unis, c'est george bush qui recueillera l'hommage aux "combattants de la liberte" de la seconde guerre mondiale.

  Its because in the protesters' eyes, America is being more like Hitler's army (note I'm not saying this so please don't flame me) instead of liberating a country. GW I (French support) America freed Kuwait (a nation taken over by a dictator). GW II (No French-support) America attacked a nation ruled by a dictator.

  Walking to School

  by simplesally in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was watching the news today and they said that 16% of kids walk to school as compared to 66% of kids 30 years ago.

  their is an obesity problem in the schools and walking to school helps them burn calories not just for the walk but for the rest of the day.

  walking to school also 'wakes them up'.........they are more alert when they start school.

  I blame the entertainment and food industry! If they didn't make such fun games, entertaining television and tasty snacks, we wouldn't have such an epidemic.

  I remember the good old days when we were happily entertained with a couple sticks, some string and an old bucket.

  the best represented geographical areas on this forum.

  i have not done a formal count, but there sure are a lot of people from those two areas.

  is that because they are extremely large states or is there another reason?

  California Circuit gets a slap on the hand

  by ezekiel3 in

  a "circuit" (northern california area including south of sacramento and foothills) had only half of their expected attendance at the 10-11 april circuit assembly.

  only some 600 from a circuit of about 1100 were present to the dismay of the district and circuit overseers responsible for the assembly.

  of major concern was how to foot the bill for the event which is funded by member donations.

  i realize i risk making an over-generalization here, but i notice that many witnesses are just broke or nearly so.. this was reinforced with a recent incident in which i learned that only a few people in the congregation have any.

  health insurance - including elders.

  the wall street journal carried a front page article with graph that showed the.
