Obama care: Will it cover the JW's at Bethel?
by dissed inthis is not a political thread.. my question has to do with the possible usa government mandate of employers covering its workers with healthcare.
if it becomes law, then all bethel workers must have health insurance.. so who pays for it?.
can the bethelites claim poverty and the us covers them or would the us claim that the wts is the employer and they must pay for the insurance?.

Daddy and mommy won't be in the New Order
by dissed init's time for my weekly sunday afternoon rant.. my story starts with my daughter seven years ago when she was 11. even though we were not associating anymore, we would let her stay with her jw grand parents and jw cousins some distance away for overniters.. coming back from a visit, she was noticeably reserved.
she told my wife at bedtime, she never wanted to go back and visit grandma.
they had told her we would not be in the new order.

Pastor Russell is now the new Nostradamus????
by dissed inwhat ever happened to pastor russell, founder and legend of the jehovah's witnesses?.
check out his website.
he's still alive and kicking.. nearly 100 years ago, utilizing bible prophecy and with strong faith in god, pastor russell foresaw: technology that would instantly spread knowledge and information to everyone on earth; global warming with melting polar ice caps; the eventual restriction of civil liberties; growing political power of protestants; the rise of islamic terrorism; social and civil rights movements; globalization; oppression of "corporate giants" (a term he coined); the merging and collapse of world economies; the jewish holocaust followed by the re-establishment of israel, and much more.

Reconnecting with an old friend
by dissed inmy wifes biggest complaint about the jw's is what they do to families, they tear them apart.
whether for disfellowsipping, or the so-called bad association, the gb needs to separate them from you, so you won't separate yourself from the gb.. she laments that her bestess of friends from childhood was taken away from her by the jw's.
true, she tried to witness to her after college but debbie respectfully listened and decided it wasn't for her.

What's in a name?
by dissed inits friday, and you know what that means?.
its time for the weekly tradition of sharing what your name means and why you chose it.. there has to be a reason, and it must reveal to us something special about you.. sure this post has probably been run by the forum before, but many of us are new here, and 'by golly, we need to get to know you all better.'.
even if you are using your real name, why and the heck are you using it?
