  Was this really a smart choice of words?

  by sammielee24 in

  i was watching pres bush in a speech telling the world that he is 'compelled' and 'driven by a higher power'.

  that god wants him to give people around the world freedom.

  that 'this crusade', the usa is on.............well...that was part of it and i sat there thinking.

  ...and some people honestly care if Michael Richards(Kramer) will still have a career after what he said.

  The big diff between MR and Bush? Whatever MR says won't instigate war between countries and incite terrorist acts.

  Oh, and I loved his reaction to the bartender when he ordered a martini. The bartender asked if he wanted it shaken or stirred and Bond replied, "Do I look like I give a damn?" I actually let out a burst of laughter on that one(I think I was the only one to do that in the theater). I think everyone was expecting him to initiate the infamous line of, "Shaken, not stirred."

  january 15th watchtower 2007 'remaining steadfast when a child rebels'.

  'when discipline is severe'.

  'if your child is unrepentant and is a baptized christian, he may receive the strongest form of discipline - being disfellowhipped from the congregation.

  included are children who were raised in it but never baptised and left.

  If this part is included in the article, then how should JW's who view the new Knocking documentary feel about the film maker(who is also gay)? Should they avoid him? Avoid anything he says? Films?

  has anyone seen this site of scanned WT material?

  by truthsearcher in

  i came across this site run by an active jw.

  http://www.strictlygenteel.co.uk/.

  there is no comment on the scans other than to say the site is being run as an alternative to "apostate sites":.

  Hmm, let's see. My old Dirtclod site wasn't "apostate." I didn't have any commentary either. But the WTS still thought it needed to be taken down because of scans of their documentation they deemed as "copyrighted."

  Give the WTS time. I'm sure they will threaten with a C&D letter kindly ask this brother to take down his material as well.

  **Added: This person doesn't even provide scans. How are we to know that he didn't change the wording of the original works?

  I am lucky to have proffession which is higly required in my country and in the modern world in general, thanks to God. I am system analyst - computer programmer!

  Ah! I see that you are currently living in India.

  To answer the question, I would start looking for other prospects...just in case. Don't wait around at your current job to see if the axe will fall or not. It's better to have something lined up rather than waiting for the last minute to look around. If you happen to land another job, great. You can always bail on them if your current situation improves before you are required to make the transition. This is another one of those reasons why it is important to have a savings that can at least get your family by for three months if one or both of you cannot work.

  It doesnt matter if the 20-year-old sheltered bafoon from West Virginia doesn't have shit for brains - if he has been at Bethel longer than you, you have to obey him and not even propose alternate techniques for doing the job.

  And that my friends is how you eventually run a corporation into the ground. The longer they keep the talent muzzled, the worse they will become over time. But that's good for us!

  I saw this on opening weekend and thought it was one of the best, if not the best, of the Bond films made. The problem I had with all of the other films was "reality." I know, I know, we're talking about JB here, but c'mon, you know what I am talking about. Casino Royale finally hit the reality mark. Even the chase scene at the beginning was pretty believable.(although I think some sprained ankles would have likely happened in real life) And the other thing I liked about it -- they didn't play the corny card throughout the movie, at all. They turned it into a serious film.

  Here's to hoping that the Bond genre has now changed to drama/action from quirky-comedy/action.

  Blood fractions insert covered in tonight's service meeting

  by becca1 in

  2. friends

  for those still "in", how did this part go over in your congregation?

  we actually had a brother raise his hand and comment that he could not explain to a doctor why we allow fractions and obey the command of levitucus to pour blood out on the ground.

  i wonder how many others felt the same but did not have the never to comment openly?

  Sounds like someone will be getting a quick talk in the back room or a "shepherding call" soon...

  Yet another way for the WTS to lose money

  mold.

  it's amazing that this little 4 letter word can cause a building structure to be shut down.

  it is also a fact that this fungus can release toxic spores which can create many unknown illnesses in people of all ages.. i was recently told by a very reliable contact that due to the nature of the quickbuilds, most kh's utilize some sort of underground hvac system.
