No more Golden Handshakes, back handers, generous cheques, free dinners and iWatches for them then I guess..

Not to worry.. there's always toilet scrubbing and window cleaning to fall back on.

The world's oldest-known living cancer dates back 11,000 years, according to UK scientists.

It arose in a single dog and has survived in canines ever since, with the cancer cells passing between animals when they mate.

A team led by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge decoded the DNA of the cancer.

It revealed the "genetic identikit" of an ancient husky-like dog, which first developed the disease.

So.. it seems that despite man being only 6,000 years old and 5,000 years before imperfection entered humanity and the natural world and when Genesis 1:31 stated: "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good."

He was already killing dogs and set them up to die very slow and painful deaths.

internet firms to be banned from offering unbreakable encryption under new laws.

companies such as apple, google and others will no longer be able to offer encryption so advanced that even they cannot decipher it when asked to under the investigatory powers bill.

Yup the George Orwell image is fake..

No, that's not actually a CCTV camera outside George Orwell's old house. It's a photoshopped image by Steve Ullathorne that first took the internet by storm in February 2012. And it's making the rounds yet again.

Ullathorne has an entire series of these photoshopped images that juxtapose buildings of historical significance with modern day flourishes — like that image on the right, showing a Che Guevara shirt hanging near a plaque about Karl Marx.

Reading the Bible in 6 months isn't "anything to brag about" - Anthony Morris

by mac n cheese in

jw
friends

the 2015 annual meeting, specifically, part 1, right about minute 27, has anthony morris emphasizing that "you're better off reading one chapter (of the bible) and really absorbing it" than just reading the whole thing "as a challenge".

while i agree with the the whole idea of meditating on anything you read, it was doing this very thing that brought up so many unanswered questions.

i also came to the constant realization that the jws did not have a clue about what the bible really said.

Nor is claiming to be the only true religion and God's prophet...

a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

GodZoo

Being kind and compassionate to those who need a home doesn't mean we need to tolerate those who would do evil.

Agreed .. but how on earth does one tell the difference.

Simon:

These are not terrorists or ISIS, there are people fleeing from them. They need help, nothing more. The notion that Russia is fighting ISIS is laughable -

I think the performance of the US is even more laughable..

I guess is depend on which version of the news you watch.

If you were genuinely running for your life from a war torn country you would find safety and asylum in the nearest neutral country to you. You would certainly not need to travel through 7 European countries merely to reach the richest.

Rather than claiming asylum in the first safe EU country they reach, most head on toward wealthy northern states.

Only 44,000 of the 213,000 refugees who arrived in Europe were from Syria. A further 27,000 new arrivals on the continent came from Afghanistan. Only one in every five migrants claiming asylum in Europe is from Syria.

Most people who are escaping the war will go to camps in Lebanon or Jordan. Many of those who have opted to risk their lives to come to Europe have done so for economic reasons.

The whole argument has been made that this influx is all real refugees from Syria whereas this adds to the substantial evidence that there are a large number of economic migrants who are aiming for a better life.

The figures from Eurostat, the EU's official statistical agency, show that migration from April to June was running at double the level of the same period in 2014. The number of Afghans lodging asylum claims is up four-fold, from 6,300 to 27,000. Another 17,700 claims were made by Albanians, whose country is at peace.

Migrants from the Balkans account for 45 per cent of asylum applications in Germany.

They outnumber genuine refugees from Syria, with 29,747 applying for asylum from Kosovo in the first five months of 2015, compared to 26,250 from Syria.

And why the oil-rich middle eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and etc are not an option for refugees to consider.
