Positives of Growing Up JW
by Pig ini dont think any of us are glad we grew up in the org.
but i was thinking about people who get cancer, and if they are lucky enough to beat it often they will say that they were better for the experience.
before they got cancer they were stressed because they had to work extra hours in a shitty job to make ends meet, the kids were nothing but trouble and they spent their lives wishing that time would go faster, that week would be over, that the year would be over.

JW Youtube, Partnership / Ad's
by Pig injust wondered what you guys think.
apparently youtube has managed to silence the average video makers, push them off the "featured video list" and only promote the big guys with ad revenue enabled.
allot of talented musicians and film makers have left as a result of this, and they have been replaced with attention whores screaming "look at me, i say rude stuff, look at my hair!".

David and Goliath situation in Australia
by Aussie Oz inin light of the thread on mr unthanks case gaining momentum i wonder:.
this is a real david and goliath situation.. it almost seems to good to be true that one man could cripple a multinational corporation.
all the publicity focused on the catholic church doesn't seem to have hurt them overall, it's almost like these behemoths grow so big that nothing touches them.. has a similar thing happened before?

SURVEY: Is a JWN members post count a reasonable indicator of their theist/atheist position? If so what can be learned from that?
by nicolaou ini've done no research on this but i suspect that a members belief or absence of belief in god may have some correspondence with the number of posts he or she has made.. my tentative suggestion is that members with fewer than 500 posts are mostly believers while members with more than 3000 posts are mostly non-believers.
of course there are exceptions, maybe quite a few, but i'm only dealing with generalities here.
so how about a survey?
