Diet and lifestyle change
by dorayakii ini've recently made a diet and lifestyle change as part of a new years resolution of sorts.
i'm just going to give myself some incentive to stick with it by listing it here for all on jwd to see.
the reason why i've started this is that, although i'm not fat, i noticed that in the last couple of years i've lost my bottom abs.

"Special Talk" being given next week about blood
by dorayakii ini just got back from the meeting minutes ago.
we had an announcement at the kh this evening that there will be a special talk next service meeting entitled "obeissons au commandement divin de nous abstenir du sang"... which means "let us obey the divin commandment to abstain from blood"
i asked the presiding overseer why the blood talk was being given so early, and not in line with the kingdom ministry schedule.

How did the Jews manage a 365.25-day year with their 360-day calender?
by dorayakii inthere are actually about 365.25 (or 365 1/4) days in each year.
with the gregorian calender that most of the "western" world now uses, we add a day to february every 4 years to ensure that the seasons are always in synch with the months.
we call this the "leap-day" and it is added to the "leap-year".

Why do people hate Americans?
by dorayakii inmaybe the correct word is not "hate", but "distain" or "dislike"... .
many people were against the war in iraq and dilike president bush, has this had a baring on how people view americans?
when america flexes its military muscles how do you feel?

RANT: Desultory ramblings of a frustrated cult member
by dorayakii inafter almost a year of living abroad, away from my parents and away from anything even remotely watchtower related, having allowed myself to not worry about these silly little things (yet convincing my parents that i was still going); now that i've been back for about 6 weeks, i feel that i have to put on a double effort to cover over things that i've said or done, and avoid using "suspect" words or phrases like "cheers" or "good luck".
its driving me crazy at the moment, and 10 times more than it was doing before i moved out.
today, i had a mini panic attack at having told a "worldly" friend of mine "good luck".

Satan in the OT... Did the Israelites view him as a real person?
by dorayakii inwas satan viewed as a real person by the israelites?.
the funny thing is, when david was incited to conduct the "illegal census" in 2 samuel 24, the original hebrew says that jehovah himself incited david to conduct the census, .
the exact word for word translation of 2 samuel in the original hebrew is: .

Anyone going to GILLINGHAM Convention 2moro?? (Kent, UK)
by dorayakii injust come back from the first day of the gillingham, kent, uk convention.
it was the first convention there, because i think they wanted to take the pressure off the twickenham rugby stadium... my cong was assigned to twickenham stadium, not to gillingham, but i "volonteered" was volonteered by our po (the same one who's on a rampage to appoint me as a "mini"... .
i didn't do much today, was assigned to car park duty, then went to sit down for the 1st and 2nd talks... took some notes, then decided to walk around to look for "poztates"... i didn't find any... (we should have a way of noticing each other), i didn't write my name or cong on my badge, so i thought that might be a little sign which might go un-noticed by the r&f, but i didn't attract any attention apart from a couple sisters who looked at me and called me "brother blank"... .
