  i saw this on the news last night (cnn breaking news for just a few minutes) and then nothing more on any channel until this morning.

  this article is off on the time a bit.

  i heard it on the news about 10:15 last night (pacific time) and they have it happening later than that.. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5810127/.

  One of the things mentioned in the link is that the authorities are looking to see if there was a problem with the fuel they received from the airport. And when I was watching this unfolding over a few hours at work last night (It was widely covered on BBC News 24) I was concerned byt the mention that due to the Russian safety record that one plane crash was no suprise, its just that two happened at the same time. It could just all be bad luck.

  Thank those who helped you out of the Org

  here's a thread for all of you to thank those who helped you make your way out of the org.

  i'll start.. i'd like to thank my ex-fiance for the support that she had given me when i needed it the most.

  when i was faced with the elders coming to give me a shepharding call, she had given me the encouragement to stand up to them, and tell them truly how i felt.

  I want to thank the elders in Chester le Street congregation, they done more than anybody else ever could have to show me the hypocrisy of the organisation. And also to everybody here on JWD, especially all those at Englishmans bbq last summer, And Blondie who helped more than she'll ever know when I was going through all the problems I had last year.

  Request from All the UK Peeps

  by FiveShadows in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am currently attempting to get my passport and am very eager to visit the uk.

  i don't want to go there and get stuck at some cheap tourist trap, nor do i want to spend a crap load of money on hotel only.

  the prices i look online, usually, as i always find them to be, are extremely over priced.

  The tube is the London Underground, a railway(Mostly Undergroud) in London. I find this is normally the easiest way to get around when I'm there, as long as you can follow a map.

  When I go travelling in the UK I normally stop at a place from http://www.backpackers.co.uk/ , they have places from £10 a night there, even in central London. I like staying in hostels, all of the ones I've stopped in have been very secure, safe and clean. You might have to provide your own padlock for a locker though. The thing I like about them is that most of the other people staying there are travelling on they're own too, so everybody mixes in and I've made some very good friends from around the world that way.

  i thought beards were allowed in brittain

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  2. beliefs

  whenever people bug me about my facial hair (just a goatie, kept really neat and clean) i always say, "what's the difference whether im here or in england... mind your own business.

  " the reason i say that is because i was always told that it's okay to have a beard in england.

  brothers dont get their balls busted for facial hair there.

  Did you know any "Cool" witnesses?

  by JH in

  2. friends

  did you know any "out of the ordinary" witnesses, who were completely different from the others?.

  i remember once going on a trip with a brother and his family.

  they were going 100 mph on the highway, just to show how powerful and smooth their cadilac was.

  that's why i think a cool jw is just that, a cool jw, very different from a non jw who does things without rules.

  What about a jw who does things without rules? Would that make them cool?

  It was so good to confront a group of JW's with the real truth; to say it like it really is and not be afraid . . .

  Exactly, thats why I felt so ggod aboutmuy recent meeting with the elders.
