Biology Lesson for the gals
by Francois inelsewhere in the active topics list is a great post from wasasister dealing in a very wise manner with women's hormonal cycle.
the viewpoint and outlook contained in her post was to my mind very well done, thoughtful, considerate, and made a number of points that would be helpful to keep in mind in dealing with the male/female dynamic.. so i hope (and believe) that wasa won't mind if i use her post to springboard to one of my own - the mirror image of hers.. wasa makes a very good point in saying that women are jerked around by the hormones in their blood every month.
and lots of us know at least one woman whose pms reaches truly epic proportions.

by Larry inquestion to all ex-jw's whose family refuse to have contact with them - how long has it been since the last time your relative(s) spoke to you or had any meaningful communication w/ you?
it's been over a year since my mother, sisters, cousins and aunts had any real communication with me.
i've read a post last week and i think someone said it's been over 20 years since one of their relatives spoke to them!

WHY THE DOLLAR IS DOOMED
by You Know injesus pointed out the hypocrisy of those in his day whose faithlessness led them to become intransigent in the face of jesus' credentials as the messiah and all that that entailed as to jehovah's judgments.
likewise, the prophets indicate that ridiculers and apostates will proclaim themselves to be unconvinced concerning the evidence of christ presence and impending judgment of this system.
jesus' rebuke is equally applicable today, where he acknowledged that his generation was expert in using their powers of reason to interpret the changing clouds and winds to accurately predict the next day's weather, and yet jesus said of them: "hypocrites!

Jehovah's Name!
by VeniceIT inone thing that really bothers me is how jw's think jehovah will protect them from any scandle because they have his name and he won't want reproach brought upon it.. well, if they read their bibles and looked in the old testament(yes i'm starting to lose the jwisms such as hebrew scriptures), how many times were the isrealites (who he had chosen, and who everyone knew where his people), punished.
he didn't hide what they were doing or pass over it to protect his 'name'.
why do the jw's have this dissolution.

Governing bye-bye
by RR inwell as most of you know, when the society reorganized the governing body retired as officers, in fact the society itself is run by earthbound members.. .
recently two governing body members kicked the bucket, klein and swingle.
that leaves the jw's with just eleven governing body members, who spiritually feed the masses, while the other sheep run things.. however, six of the eleven are so old they don't even know what time of day it is, the other five are younger and newly.
