Society's batting average -- dates?
by Fatfreek inin major league baseball a 0.300 batting average is worth millions of dollars each year to the skilled hitter.
in other words, it's very good.. what about the society's batting average when it comes to date predictions?
we all know they didn't bat a thousand -- but hey, aren't we being too hard on them on their misses?

Shun Rich Food to remain celibate
by Fatfreek ini've been away for a long time and wonder if the society still advises young folks to avoid rich food when they're going to be with someone of the opposite sex.
i suppose if you're on a date you'd want to order salad and skip the pizza.. is that what is advocated today?
if so, is there any scientific basis to it?

A drastic medical view
by Fatfreek inwhen mom and dad and i adopted watchtower teachings during the mid 50's, the most influential couple we knew were special pioneers by the names of raymond and doris bridgman.
they were truly fine people in many senses, a bit younger than my folks, and very charismatic.
the place was new bedford, massachusetts, u.s.a.. it wasn't long before you realized that the bridgmans ate differently than the rest of us.

Suicide in contempt?
by Fatfreek inas a relative newbie i haven't seen the subject of suicides posted.
it's been many years since i left and i was always uneasy at the wt's rigid, unloving stance.
i viewed someone who committed such a horrendous self-destructive act as a person with some mental ailment and how could we hold someone with any ailment in contempt.

WT inflating their numbers?
by Fatfreek inthere have been posts here that indicate the kh building work may be slowing in the u.s., and that there is consolidation of the congos going on.
if that is true why don't we see the society's published numbers on the decline?
my next question is, heaven forbid, you don't suppose they're inflating the membership numbers do you?
