Medical People: Lipitor vs Zocor (Simvastatin)? Which do you recommend??
by AudeSapere in
1. jw
2. friends
i know we have a good representation of medically-trained people on this board so i want to put out this question:.

when treating a person with high cholesterol, which do you prefer: lipitor or zocor (simvastatin)?

if a person begins treatment with lipitor, is it necessary to use it for the rest of that person's life?

what's a really good movie you'd recommend that most people probably haven't seen?.

my personal recommendation: synecdoche, new york.

it's one of those movies that words fail utterly to capture--which really is the hallmark of a good movie, i suppose.

What year Did you Stop Attending Meetings - How Long were you a JW ?
by flipper in
1. jw
2. friends
i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.

and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.

so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

guys, when you were JW's did you feel sorry for the subjugated sisters?
by highdose in

in my cong i could name more than half the brothers who seemed to revel in squashing the sisters back into the door mat where they belonged.

nothing personaly irrated me more than being treated like a lower form of life simply because i didn't have a penis!.

but i never saw any brothers make a stand, or try to treat the sisters better.

this tripe from the june 15 tower.

how many of the witness kids "and adults" get into trouble right within the congregation.

QFR: Should marriages be arranged for true Christians in the congregation?
by sd-7 in
1. jw
2. friends
in many cultures, arranged marriages are a common practice.

often this involves the parents of both parties making specific arrangements for their children to marry upon reaching a certain age.

sometimes there is money or property given to the parents of the bride as compensation for the loss of her efforts in the household.
