Why do people lie.
by ball. ini am witnessing several friends break up at the moment and one of my best mate's wife has constantly denied being in an afair despite be-friending a 21 year old guy who saw more of her than he did, and numerous suspicious txt messages and so on and so on.
anyway, to cut a long story short, he moved in here with me and has just spent three weeks going insane, un-able to sleep, brain over-active, and if he wasn't such a sane chap, almost going paranoid.. well, some of you know i'm a bit of a geek, so we wired up his home pcs web cam and ran a citrix session with remote control and a web cam recorder with ftp to download the files, and i waited tonight while he watched the result.
bingo.

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?
