I think it's a stupid idea. Mostly for the reason why they want to build it. To stop people from coming in to work the American jobs that Americans dont want anyway.

37Fencing Borders - Anyone Else Think This Is A Stupid Idea??
by Seeker4 ini've been listening to this from the congress for some time now, and it's back in the news today.
the idea is to build a literal fence along the us border, hundreds of miles long and costing millions of dollars, in order to keep out illegal aliens.. damn you canadian outlaws!
oops!

JW's and Domestic Violence
by Mum init has been a long time since i left the jw organization.
it seems that families may be more fractured now than back then (1979).. recently i was reviewing some materials about domestic violence.
some of the traits of the abuser are traits also exhibited by the watchtower authorities -- specifically, never admitting a mistake, blaming the victim for her/his own abuse, limiting the victim's association with others, particularly family members or supportive resources.. it follows that jw males in particular are almost programmed to become abusive.

Definately the environment I grew up in. Still, I have seen non-JW families live this way. The JWs have a sick way of justifying their acts and brainwashing the victims make it easier for them to get away with it.

True or False: Watchtower Male Stereotype
by YoursChelbie ini always used to cringe when the watchtower "family" and "youth" books would stereotype men and women into two mutually exclusive categories: "men think while women feel.
"one trait is not better than the other they are just different...," i recall the books went on to say in so many words.
i'm well aware both men and women have excelled in science, etc.

The WT is not an authority on human emotion's. They are, and probably a poor one, an authority on the bible. Their research on the subject probably hasn't extented beyond the third floor of one of their NY offices. Disregard anything they say beyond Adam and Eve and Jesus Christ.

YOUR DAILY JOURNAL
by compound complex indear friends,.
much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.
however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

I knew I was in for a bad day before I shaved this morning. I didn't shake the shaving cream can, I squirted the shaving cream into my hand and then I shook my hand. Shaving cream everywhere. And that was after my coffee.
I get into work this morning and find out the night shift didn't do anything and now I have to catch up on thier work and my own. It's been one disater after another.
