Leave it in Gods hands
by ball. ini just read in a post by sandy that a witness used this statement: "leave it in gods hands", and i just realised that witnesses say this all the time.
but what complete crap it is!
what if we all walked round saying that about everything, never take responsibility for anything.

The good way to be a Jehovahs Witness
by ball. indid anyone know witness families who were seemingly able to juggle getting a good education and career while maintaining good standing and even high positions in the congregation.
while from the platform, encouraging ones to pioneer from school (like i did), they themselves would be leading a completely acceptable double life, encouraging their children in their careers.
some people were better at that kind of double life than others.

1989 JW Brochure - slightly humble approach
by ball. injust one quote from the brochure which appears on the 2001 cd watchtower library, what do you notice...?.
jehovah?s witnesses are interested in you and your welfare.
they want to be your friends and to tell you more about themselves, their beliefs, their organization, and how they feel about people and the world in which all of us live.

Ban on smoking in public places in the UK and todays news
by ball. inireland having just joined the list of countries banning smoking in public places, it has suddenly got media attention here in the uk.. as some of you know, i gave up smoking for a year and a half ago on a thread on this board.
i started again, however, i have always, as smoker and non-smoker, believed that such a ban would mean an infingement on your civil liberties and freedom.. then todays news along with a sad story about a 3 year old who died of obesity:.
obesity has now overtaken smoking as the biggest killer in the uk.. then i wonder, why is this nanny state discussing banning smoking in pubs, when they should be logically banning beer, in light of the new statistics and all the beer belies they show in these news items?

Fake Iraq pictures and other stuff
by ball. inall the talk of fake (or not fake) pictures of troops in iraq, not too mention the number of fake pictures mates send me in emails, and not to mention the revolution in fake body parts, particularly boobs, leads me to wonder about the future.
will we live in a world in 50 years time, where every time you look at a picture, your mind is immediately pre-occupied with whether it is real or not, every picture looked at with a critical eye... no longer does a picture contain a thousand words, but may be a thousand lies also.
we've all seen the fake moon landings, haven't we?
