  so the wts just bought yet another corporate building in upstate ny.

  this time it's a building to house a/v production a few minutes from patterson.

  why they just don't build what they need on property they already own, i don't know.. http://www.loopnet.com/listing/17829130/39-mt-ebo-road-south-brewster-ny/.

  Feeling indifferent

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  right now, at this point in my life, i feel like i should be angry, sad, upset, annoyed, whatever emotion that most of you guys here feel or have felt.. but the overwhelming feeling i get, and i have got since waking up, is indifference.. i think that this might be my subconscious coping mechanism.

  when i go to the meetings or take part in any other wt related activity, i don't care.

  i just really couldn't care less.. i mean, i do care, but i think it's more a fascination now about the whole thing.

  Indifference can be good.

  It was caring, after all, about such stupid religious drivel - that trapped us with their self serving truths.

  Your Indifference will turn to rage when they move to hold your family hostage until you conform.

  Danish crime series begins with apparent shunning of a young mother, returning home after two decades

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  2. entertainment

  i began watching a well-reviewed crime series -- dicte -- in streaming netflix last night.

  although it is compelling, the audio was in danish and was close-captioned into english.

  i didn't complete the first episode because watching cc is too laborious for me.

  Thanks Len and Virran -

  I'm with OrphanCrow on the sub titles.

  I often prefer shows with subtitles as the European acting and directing are magnificent - far better than Hollywood .

  Getting hard of hearing so even the great BBC English language shows are getting tough without subtitles.

  I hope this show becomes available in Canada or iat the library.

  Rail Trail will be used by Watchtower drones.

  Sports fields etc. will be good places for public promotion of JW.bORG as sponsors.

  Free bibles ? - nothing is free from Watchtower.

  ...serving the homeless ? Never.

  Bravo Julia -

  Takes me right back to my days as an elder with a tyrant on the body.

  You have accurately captured the damage these self-righteous egomaniacs exact upon any they set their sights upon.

  Makes me sick to contemplate - but thanks for the memories anyway.

  an update on my life post education..... as the governing body continue to denounce higher education, reality continues to prove their words ignorant, ill informed and blatant lies.

  i am proud and astonished to say i have just been accepted for a university teaching hospital post.

  i have a seriously sought after, senior house officer job in intensive care, endocrinology and clinical pharmacology.

  Crisis of Conscience republished and on Kindle

  by losthobbit in

  hi guys.

  sorry if this has been mentioned before... i haven't visited this forum in a while.. i've noticed that crisis of conscience is no longer ridiculously expensive on amazon.co.uk (now 9.38), and they have a kindle version which is even cheaper (6.84 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/b00bqou5rc).

  unfortunately the publisher did an absolutely useless job of formatting the kindle version.

  Simon -

  What do you mean when you say - 'formatting is incidental to the content?

  Can ebooks be purchased by one person and sent as a gift to another? will a computer work as a kindle?

  Thanks - Gone

  CANADA | Toronto Star | May 3, 2013 - Jehovah's Witnesses: Kindness is an act of grace - not an obligation

  by jwleaks in

  2. friends

  who should be responsible for financially supporting jehovah's witnesses, who put misguided faith in the failed 1975 "end-of-the-world" predictions, and went full-time preaching without any consideration for retirement many years later?.

  kindness is an act of grace not an obligationare successful brothers ethically required to help aging moneyless sister?

  toronto star.

  Toronto Star readers are fortunate indeed to have Ken Gallinger column 'Ethically speaking'

  Not a self-serving celebrity poser, nor WT style manipulation - just do the right things for the right reasons.

  JWs would do well to consult his column as a contrast to WTs fake 'theocratic ethics'.

  Pterist -

  I always enjoy your posts, especially in a topic such as this one - where your learned views of historic doctrines can be compared

  directly with the writhing, evolving dogma of Jwitnesses - so Thanks!

  a watcher -

  I forsee 12,000 plus interesting JW funerals on the horizon . The knee-jerk response to an increasing number of 'annointed'TM was to discredit their claim as though they were mentally unstable.

  Now however, it seems that a noble and fulfilling heavenly calling awaits as many as care to partake of the wine and bread, and thus claim one of the two heavenly callings, no?

  Browse in a bookshop in Tokugawa Japan

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  during the 268 years (approx) of rule by a military dictatorship in japan (approx.1600 to 1868) japan developed a growing, prosperous middle class and a proto-modernity that enabled the quick conversion to western modernity in the late 19th century.

  a feature of the era was a growing book publishing industry.

  people could make a living as authors, artists/illustrators, printers and selling books.
