What are your reasons for posting here?

i'm curious as to what drives some people to post at certain boards.. for me, i first came here over a year ago thinking this was a pro-jw site, ready to jump on the dubs.

lol.

little did i know.... i posted here exclusively for a while, but then found that the repetitive topics became tedious.

does anyone have any secrets that work?

i looked on the internet and saw a few tips, but nothing's working yet.. these little bitey suckers are all over the place.

i've gotten rid of every bit of trash and wiped down the entire kitchen, but they're still swarming.

I think it's finally sunk in...

i want to officially retract the opening statment of my "does anyone else not care about katrina?

" thread.. i've been watching coverage like a hawk all day, and it cannot be compared to the homeless problem in our country.

i still stand by what i said, which is that we should always support and feel compassion for those who are less fortunate, even when cnn is not involved, but this is definitely different.

Does anyone else not really care about Katrina?
by sonnyboy in
1. jw
2. friends
ok, some people may call me a heartless bastard for making this thread, but i have to be honest.. i really don't care about the hurricane victims.

i highly doubt that the people walking through walmart with shopping carts full of clothing and electronics would send me one f'ing red cent if i was in need (and i am in need, by the way).. i just can't find it in my heart to care at all.

maybe i'm the only one who thinks like this, but i've been struggling to survive for the past 2 years and no one has ever lifted a finger to help me.

Do any white people live in New Orleans?

1. jw
2. friends
i've never been there myself, but every single person being shown on the news is black.

wading through the streets, stranded on rooftops, etc.

i'm not sure if the media is just focusing on certain areas of new orleans or if it's a predominantly african american city.. the only footage i've seen other than this has been mardi gras and that consists mostly of tourists.

What's the JW view on food intake?
by sonnyboy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
.

i've been thinking, if the jws won't allow smoking, excessive drinking, or the alteration of the outer body, do they also have rules about caloric, saturated fat, transfat, and sodium intake?

these things can be just as harmful to the body in the long run.

Is the problem with the JWs or the Bible?
by sonnyboy in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this topic is a spin-off of another, but i'd like to hear people's opinions.. since the witnesses spew numerous biblical passages which seem to justify their beliefs and practices, who's exactly to blame for their less-than-human approach to life?

what laws do the jws live by that are not justified in some way by the judeo-christian bible?

is shunning justified in the scriptures?
