If You Could Invite Any 3 people

to dinner living or dead..... who would the be?.

simona halep has just given serena williams an absolute ass-whupping, winning her first wimbledon title.. so i guess congratulations are in order.. but, i gotta say, if i'd forked out loads of money for a courtside seat i'd be a bit disappointed.

the match lasted just 56mins, with halep winning in straight sets 6-2 6-2.. surely, it's time for the women to play over 5 sets in grand slam matches?.

And Djokovic won the men's final yesterday. It was a 5 hour epic.

Kinda proves my point ...

It’s Your Last Meal...What Would It Be??

i’m watching a restaurant tv show and i’m getting hungry 🐷...i think i would enjoy a prime rib end cut with buttered baked potato and definitely a greek salad with plenty of feta as the first course..

LoveUniHateExams

Greek salad for starters sounds great!

For my mains I guess I'd have something to stay with the Greek theme, so I'd have Beef Stifado with vegetables mixed in. It's a Greek stew, to go with the Greek salad.

And I'd have a few glasses of a nice, full-bodied red.

Why do women play fewer sets in the first place? - I don't know why.

It happens only in Grand Slam tournaments - in other tournaments both men and women play best of 3 sets.

The women don't hit the ball as hard so, yes, their games are a bit slower than the men's as a consequence. But that still doesn't explain the 5 sets vs 3 sets thing.

I mean, women footballers play for 90mins, just the same as the men.

Blondie's Comments (July 14 2019) Child Sexual Abuse Congregation Policies

love justice wickedness ((7-14-2019) may 2019 article comments from blondie.

(ask yourself if you were able to read this article).

does wt justice outweigh christian love?

LoveUniHateExams

Excellent OP, Blondie.

I wonder if they report the abuse of a jw child by a non-jw? - yes, I think they definitely would. Because 'it's Satan's system'.

Here's another question: what actions does the WTS take to protect non-JW children from JW paedophiles?

As A Former JW Are You Patriotic At All?

jehovah’s witnesses were drilled with the idea that all governments are from satan and that we should have nothing to do with anything involving support of the government, voting, or political talk for one party or another.. now that you are out, is patriotism important to you?

is voting important to you?

are you supportive of your country?.

LoveUniHateExams

If you're going to be proud of anything it has to be as a result of some sort of achievement. Not just an accident of birth - yeah, ok.

I think there are good reasons for being proud of the UK, the US and other western countries. Think of all the achievements the west has done. It's thanks to western medicine that HIV positive Eskimos or Australian Aborigines can have a relatively good life.

It would be entirely understandable, too, if Japanese people are extremely proud of Japan.

And Haitians ... er, nah, forget Haitians. XD

So, I think it's entirely reasonable to be proud of your country's achievements.

If you saw a governing body member being pummeled would you help them?

by Tenacious in

before you answer; .

think about how they could care less how many families are broken up just to retain their power.

how they could care less if members are driven to suicide because of the deep programming and severe depression or strained family situations.. how they would rather let members die in order to retain their power and refuse to acknowledge their faulty bible reasoning regarding blood.. i could go on and on and on.

LoveUniHateExams

@Tenacious - the way you've written the OP is a lot of slagging of the GB, asking would you pummel them, then you slipped one line saying you wouldn't and it's wrong.

I don't blame Simon for misreading your OP. I'm sure other posters misread it, too.

Trying to imagine living under Jehovah’s Theocratic Rule!

by I believe in overlapping in

imagine living in a time when medical facilities weren’t even a concept.

imagine living during a time where a police force didn’t even exist.

imagine the culture you lived in was that you have as many kids as possible and hopefully none of them were girls, or at least just a few girls, like jacob who had twelve boys.

Although I think blindly loving your country is foolish, I am quietly patriotic. I don't bother having an England flag or Union Jack hanging from my window.

There are too many 'activists' who hate western countries. I will always oppose these politically-retarded people.

Western countries, technology and culture are all great, probably the best in the world. (If it wasn't, you wouldn't get immigrants risking death to get here - see the Salvadoran father and daughter who drowned in Rio Grande; the frozen Kenyan guy who tried to stow away in an airplane's landing gear and dropped 35 thousand feet onto some guy's back garden in Kent, etc. etc.)

In fact, I'd say that western culture/technology is the 8th wonder of the world.
