red flag to a bull those carts can't resist !
by possum inwent to a market yesterday and there it was a cart manned by a middle-aged women and a young one.
in a really respectful, friendly manner i approached them and enquired if watchtower society had done anything about its "two witness policy" post royal commission.
knew nothing of 2 witness rule.

Ok. I have to get in on this. Everyday on my way home, I pass by 3 carts setup at the main/central rail station in Warsaw. I'm sure one of them speaks English. I'll start first to find out if this is true and go from there. They can count me as a return visit!
What to talk about first? Australian RC or latest news from AGM regarding layoffs?

Did Jesus really die on a cross?
by macys inbeing raised a catholic we had lots of crosses around the house.
when my family converted to this cult they were all removed and destroyed in case they had demons in them lol but at this juncture in my life i do not even know if jesus as the way he is portrayed in the bible was real.
yes a man named jesus did live and die 2000 years ago and probably on a cross but he was definitely not the son of god.

I always thought the Wt's use of the word 'impale' was kind of strange. In my mind, crucify is not the same thing as impale. From what I've read, getting impaled seems a lot worse. Any scholars want to comment on what method was actually used? -

Where my wife attends, they have the mid-week meeting on Friday. Maybe they should just call it 'not-Sunday' meeting. It seems to me if meetings are supposed to 'recharge' you after having to deal with the world, it would be better to space them out a bit. When I was going, I hated meetings on Friday and Sunday, especially if we went out in service on Saturday. Now, I don't worry about any of it. -

Also just noticed after watching the tony vid (couldn't bear to listen) that the bible he was using had highlighted text. I thought that was bad. Maybe just for service it is bad, but study bibles are ok. What is the current 'thinking' on that subject?
And Tony has a ring on both hands? One is not enough?
Just noticed that Lett also has the same setup... Although one is on his pinky.

WiFi problems? Want a faster network? Try Powerline Adapters!
by Simon inwifi is great.
it's so easy and convenient.
but it can be slow.. years ago when it first came out you maybe had a pc and a couple of other devices at most.

Interesting, need to check on limitations. I have an office separate from the main house, but the wifi signal is weak so when I am working at home, I usually work in the house. The electricity from the house powers the remote building (underground cable).
Could be an option or only works on main circuits in the house?

My son has been out longer. He just kind of drifted away. When I woke up, we had a good conversation when I was last back in the states. I wanted to make sure he didn't hate me for taking away his childhood. He was a JW from birth until his early 20's.
Suprisingly, he was ok. I think his biggest regret was not being able to be involved with sports. He is not really anti-JW, just not part of it any more. Someone visits him with mags once in a while that he said he glances at. I encouraged him to be polite but firm when refusing their invitations to go to the meetings.
I think I am actually more upset by it (his lack of a normal childhood) than he is. When I visit my sisters and mother (never JW's) and see all the memories they have of real family outings and get togethers, it really hits me. I got nothing.
