  Apt Illustration???

  by Kismet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i used to love using illustrations in my talks (student, public whatever) even now i still use illustrations to help student's i teach in some of the courses i run.. i was thinking about something that happened to me while working for a private wealth company owned by a major canadian bank.... .

  one day while the ceo was away from the office i caught a mistake going through the system involving a transaction for one of the clients and a subsequent presentation to said client regarding the changeover being undertaken.

  the mistake, while approved and already initiated by those responsible, could have cost the company several tens of thousands in penalties and if finalized would have called into question this client (worth over $45 million) staying with the company.. tho not really my job, i initiated corrective measures, spent the night re-doing much of the work involved.

  i for one know we do.

  Religion - A builder or destroyer?

  by Zero in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has oft been presented here that religion has been destructive to the utmost, an inhibiter and counter-productive in human development and civilization.

  there is always the other side of the proverbial coin.

  when you think about it, where would the world of science and history be if not for religious motivation?.

  Apostate vs Evil Slave

  by drahcir yarrum in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been churning this issue over in my mind of late.

  do i want to be considered by the gb as "apostate" or "evil slave"?

  i'm thinking that "apostate" is too mild for the contempt i have for the wts.
