i don't know if any of you have seen the video posted by mike and kim regarding jw.org advertising on a thailand computer game review television show.
its interesting - check it out.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57nigmnim18.
the show is called game show social - i looked at a few of the videos and jw.org is on a lot of them.. at first i thought that it was a review of a jw.org app but when you look at other videos jw.org is on a lot of them as a sponsor as well as dell lg and others.. wgo..
well, i told my wife over the weekend i was going to go back school to finish my degree.
she is 100% supportive of it!
apparently she doesn't think higher education is so evil either.. since my former major was computer programming and that was in the late 1990's, i was told i'd have to retake a bunch of classes since times have changed.
Cappy, Science teachers are in demand. This is what I do.
To teach, you will also need a teaching credential. In most states this is an additional 1 - 2 year program.
You have a PM!

so this jaw bone of early man has been dated at 2.8 million years old.
that means that given a margin for error and allowing an unknown but short period of time for adam naming the animals the 1000 years starts in ummm, eerrr.
This was from the genus Homo, but not the species sapiens.
A progenitor perhaps, but not human.
hey guys,.
so, something amazing happened recently.
i recently met with an old and very good friend of mine.
PRO: It'll give you closure and it is also official notice you don't want anything to do with them any longer.
CON: It is playing by their rules, but it is also official notice you don't want anything to do with them any longer.
Let us know what you decide.
for those who have left and are still in contact with jw family, how do you usually respond when they bring up jw stuff, i.e.
start talking about the nearness of armageddon or things like that.. i usually say nothing and just let it pass but i'm considering changing tact to something more confrontational, less because i want to change their mind and more because i find it tiresome.
thoughts?
"Have you ever noticed, no matter what the Society does, it's good? Even when it's something they previously lambasted. Take for instance televangelism. For decades, the WTBTS publications and GB speakers spoke disparagingly about televangelists. But now they have JW.TV and it's a good thing."
"If it was bad when Pat Robertson and others did it, then how come it's suddenly good?"

this file was not easy to get!
the informant had to carefully wait until each time his regular pioneer wife left the house to get into her service bag.

by robert hoatson, ph.d.. february 26, 2015 i am an ex-irish christian brother, ex-priest, survivor of sexual abuse, and advocate for thousands of sexual abuse victims for over a decade.
Barbara, thanks for sharing this very different perspective on this popular movie.
I've not seen it or read the book, but my daughter-in-law talks about it as if it's the best thing ever. I know for a fact that she is into it for the kinky aspects and would never connect to Hoatson's premise.
i will have the music video separated shortly.
will post the link once it's done..
the public talk on sunday was about evolution.. my son pointed out flaws in the speakers arguments during and after the meeting... mostly about how animals aren't able to communicate etc.
he even brought up coco the ape that is able to communicate via sign.. i told him that i heard a ton of inconsistencies but i am afraid to say anything because your mom will get angry :).
im glad he is paying attention.. and the school system must be doing something right..
user100, That's fantastic! Keep encouraging your son's critical thinking skills!
jehovah church faces flood of sex abuse cases.
"a woman who was abused from the age of four by a senior officer of the jehovahs witnesses has lodged a 500,000 claim for compensation in a test case that could open the door to hundreds more suits involving members of the religious organisation in the uk.".

"I would never have gone to court if I had had an apology,” [Abigail] said.
This is a very important statement. From what I've read over the years, many victims have expressed similar sentiments.
Many abuse survivors are more outraged at the refusal to take responsibility by church officials than they are at the initial abuse.
The leaders of the JW religion are hypocrites of the worst kind.
