  Grace Gough ("Mouthy") and the 83 Tapes

  by JW_Researcher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  grace gough (“mouthy’) sent me 83 cassette tapes 16 years ago (2006).. .

  when she sent them, i understood them to be ‘testimonies’ of jws who became christians.

  there are some labeled “so-and-so’s testimony” so at least some are that.. others appear to be talks, like the morning session of the 1981 “ex –jws for jesus” convention.

  Blood: When an Active JW is Health POA for non-JW

  by JW_Researcher in

  my mother has designated my sister as her ‘designated health care representative.’ my sister has sworn to my mother that, if my mother needs blood, my sister will not refuse it.

  there are no anticipated (key word) needs for blood at this time.

  my mother is in her early 80s.. my mother has never been a jw but is very familiar with all aspects of jwdom and understands the risk of my sister not allowing blood if my mother needed it.

  Why Did Obama win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009?

  by JW_Researcher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while even non-peaceful people have been awarded the peace prize (e.g.

  arafat, kissinger), i am confused as to how obama could possibly have won the award one year after being the first term junior senator from illinois with zero “peace” experience (other than his ‘well-articulated’ rhetoric)..

  reading the obama-pining on a couple of posts made me reexamine my view of barry’s presidency..

  “God's Debris: A Thought Experiment” by Scott Adams

  by JW_Researcher in

  recommending “god's debris: a thought experiment” by scott adams.

  just finished it (audio version, in the car).. i ‘read’ this book because i enjoyed adams’ “win bigly: persuasion in a world where facts don't matter” (audio version, while working in the woods).

  if you have a background in persuasion, some content may be redundant but, overall, very entertaining and current..
