The war deaths graph only goes back to 1945 while the poverty and life expectancy graphs go back to 1820 and 1541(early 1800's for some countries) respectively. Right off the top it looks like they're trying to paint a picture with graphs that unbalanced.

Better food production and distribution alone can account for much of the poverty and life expectancy improvements.

Good Lord, here we go again.

I was going to read the legal documents but with the comments that have already been made about them I probably don't have the stomach for it.

Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

by 3rdgen in

a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

Zoos

I remember that break as a kid. Dad would go out and have a smoke while my brother and I played in the parking lot.

Reading the Watchtower and Awake! is like getting a college education!

by kairos in

anybody remember hearing this?.

--.

is that comment in print anywhere?.

Zoos

NAVYTOWN: A 'college education' from where? Possumtrot University??? A PhD in doorbell ringing, no doubt.

I got a double PhD in sound system/mike handling. When you have that many degrees hanging on the wall it makes it difficult to relate with the common people.

I'm so lonely.

Would YOU Have Refused Blood To Remain Faithful To Your JW Beliefs?

by minimus in

i believe that most witnesses would refuse blood to show their faithfulness to jehovah's law on blood transfusions....( that sounds silly, huh?).

.

Zoos

Not only would I have not accepted blood, I personally marked an elder's wife for her decision to accept fractions for some medical problem that she later died from. I MARKED that bitch and she died for her error.

Yeah... I was that person.

I shudder!

the date passed by already, so i will mention the silly rumor that was going around.

this is freaking hilarious.

the rumor is a gullibility joke where it is hoped that the reader fails to remember that this holiday observance is on the fixed date of october 31st.
