i have notice alot of new people here recently and i am curious as to how you found this site.interested in how some of you "old timers" found it also.
last may or june i was checking out some chat rooms and for some reason (i always thought how boring) i went into the religion section and saw a chat room title jehovah witness recovery room.
i was very curious as to what was going on in there (did a bus load of jw get in a crash and now they are recovering??
In my case, I was looking for Jehovah Witnesses in google. I found a site, and I corresponded with a guy name `William, who told me
Here are some websites you might want to give a look at: Jehovahs Witness Discussion - Forum: Friends exjw.meetup.com! Thanks again for writing
a new public talk reviews what being sound in mind refers to.
the speaker mentioned that in order to please jehovah and show that you have "soundness of mind", you should not associate with anyone that is not in the "truth", to the extent possible.
he re-read that comment a second time for emphasis.
They talk alot about what you have to do to please Jehovah. Why don't they love all their neighbors like themselves, even if they are in the world. They are always giving instructions so that you feel bad, as if you aren't giving enough, or not serving Jehovah properly. Always guilt.

this morning as i got up, it was 0 f outside.
this morning at 9 o'clock as usual the same witnesses will go door to door at this temperature.
i already saw them going door to door at -25 f. i wonder what it would take for them to say it is too cold or too hot to go out in the field service?

if i ever find out who invented x-mas lights ill.....well...ill......damn!!!!!!!!
i just spent all f-in afternoon puttin all the lights up and now?...well guess what?...only half the bastards work!!!!!!!!!!!
man i am so frustrated......(sorry)... any1 with any ideas?
Years ago, a teacher told me that they were wired in series. So if just 1 was burnt, the whole bunch didn't light up. And you had to guess which bulb was burnt...
This is how they are wired today:
Christmas Lights
I thought I understood Christmas tree lights. If the bulbs are wired one after the other in series, they all go out when any one does. If they are wired in parallel like rungs on a ladder, the other bulbs stay bright, but they tend to run hot. The new lights on our tree have three wires, not two. If a bulb burns out, the others stay lit. Then I noticed a bigger mystery as I played with them. If I gently twist a bulb in its socket, it goes out and the others stay on. But if I twist too much or remove the bulb, they all go out. How do Christmas lights work?
| Parallel Circuit |  |
| Series Circuit |  |
Christmas tree lights are definitely wired in series. But each bulb contains a shunt resistor in parallel with the filament, barely visible as a fine wire wrapped around the base of the metal posts that support the filament within the bulb. This extra wire allows current to bypass a burned out bulb and keep the rest going. Removing a bulb (or twisting it until the wires break) removes the shunt as well, so they all go out. These lights have three wires to carry electricity from end to end so that strings of lights can be daisy-chained together.

Very good test! I also found the trick. Must be the Watchtower who invented that. They are good in fooling people.

This is a convertor for people who live outside the US
Does this mean that the americans are different, and need a different chart. Should we blame the chart if we are overweight or underweight.

Now you know why I eat poutine and fast food, and drink coke and eat many desserts. It's to stay at 137 and not drop any lower.
