  WoMD ... so where are they?

  now, the war is over, the weapons were not used and of course have not been found.. how threatening could they be if they did not even use them when being invaded by a massive force (of the countries they hate)?!

  perhaps, as many suspect, they didn't use them because they didn't have them?.

  now we're being told that we'll have to be patient and give them time to find them.

  I too was against the attack and the British troops being sent to their deaths by Tony Blair.

  Chilcot exposed there was no evidence of chemical weapons and Blair acted on the false accusations from MI6

  British politicians eh?

  so some may have read the long and boring post about our last vacation and some of the things that my wife came to tell me during our time away.

  i am adding the link here but i can summarize it for time's sake.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5768475763015680/vacation-time-reality-closing-up-on-my-wife.

  in a nutshell, right before we left, we found out of a jw couple we know well.

  Great news. She is realising that your relationship is more important than the GB.

  there seems to be no current data on this information and there is questions concerning the validation of past data.

  apparently there is high rate of mental illness and suicide.

  jehovahs witnesses suicide rate 5 to 10 times above average.

  Welcome to the board. Are you a JW? Are you depressed?

  Some of the threads here may help you through some struggles you may have.

  Jesus Knows the Day & Hour Now?

  by KillerJones in

  i was skimming the july 2016 wt study article and came across a paragraph indicating that, despite scriptural evidence, the governing body indeed feels that god's son now knows the exact day and hour of armageddon.

  is this 'new light'?

  from the second study article, page 14, pgh 4:.

  I would love it if WT actually printed a date. That would be fun. It would be another 1975 fiasco.

  "more than half of the people in the u.k either aren't saving at all or they aren't saving enough to give themselves the standard of living they hope for" ( the money advice service).

  how do you have your retirement planned?.

  as for myself, i never botherd with putting money in a pension, i opted instead to invest in buy to let properties.

  Lol haha. I grew up in Hatch End actually. It was still a 01 for London phone number.

  At least we agree that the young can't actually buy property in London unless they have some sort of inheritance.

  A bit of a right wing false attitude Rebel.

  Anyone who got pregnant in the 80 s in London had to leave because there was no social housing available.

  My daughter is 23 and living in London a lender will give her four times her salary to buy a property.

  She would need to be earning £62,500 per year to get a loan of £250,000 to buy a one bed flat.

  In theory what you say sounds good but in practice it's not realistic.

  But thanks for the advice about a pension plan.

  Labels are NOT arguments

  i love muslims - which is why i hate mainstream islam.

  history has categorically shown us that people are better off when there's separation of church and state, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and women's equality - all of which mainstream islam is diametrically opposed to.

  and criticizing islam doesn't make me an "islamophobe".

  LUHE,

  I do remember you telling me a while ago that you were struggling to find work. I am sorry you still haven't found anything.

  It's hard to recognise satire sometimes especially if you say you like people because they have jobs.

  My point is that the OP is making a statement that is a generalisation. Generalising is something that many of us do and it can in some cases lead to discrimination and prejudice. People are Individuals and should be viewed on their specific qualities personal to them.

  You can't like or especially love a class of people - so you don't like Muslims as a class of people?- LUHE

  I don't form opinions about people I have never met before especially generalising about them in a religious group. I have met people of all religions and like and dislike people I have met. The reasons I form those opinions had nothing to do with their religion. I chose to get to know everyone regardless of their protected class. I don't discriminate.

  Your opinion about people without jobs calling them time wasters is very discriminatory and prejudicial. At work I see many people struggling to get good reliable employment and people who have been dismissed unfairly. Some of them are in their 50s and will never be recruited as employers discriminate against them. There are so many reasons why these people don't have jobs. I hope this changes your opinion about them.

  So tell me why do you love Muslims? - good question. I can tell you why I like Muslims, based on observations where I live. - LUHE

  Interesting why you're answer a question addressed to someone else. But thanks. Love and like are two different things.

  Also when you draw an opinion about a protected class and generalise it's prejudicial. You can't like or especially love a class of people. You can only like and love individuals.

  Do you dislike people who don't have jobs?
