i am working on a writing project.
just give me your opinion on this subject.
if you worked for your respective government and you were tasked with doomsday preparations, what would you decide to save for future generations?
A Bible and Quran of course.
We wouldn't want the harried survivors to delay the opportunity to institutionalize hatred and war as soon as possible.
After all, wasn't their last worlds economy founded on warfare? - got to have an economy - and what better foundation than greed, power and oppression !
i'm currently working something up to share with a few people.
i was wondering if anyone knew the current number (estimation) of child abuse cases that are going on (that we know about)?
i don't get much time to be on here right now but it seems that cases are sprouting everywhere.
You are unlikely to hear of abuse cases from Central America. Those countries are ''lawless'' in practical terms.
The leaders flap their gums, fly about the world slurping hors d'oeurves at conventions for child care and protection etc.etc., adding their countries as signatories to noble ideas - then they return home and do absolutely nothing to implement any improvements or pass into law the protection of rights.
There is no family law, no child support laws even. Child abuse (like all forms of crime) is rampant - only making the public awareness when a very young girl becomes pregnant .
Litigation is dangerous as applicants, witnesses, prosecutors and media sources are often murdered.
Not hard to see why an American JW child molester was located in Central America a few years back.
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/.

Supreme Realtor ! now that's going to catch on.
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.
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.
it's finally finished!
it's a fictional story about an old jw.
it is very long, about 7000 words.. the opal ring.
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.
Well done young man!
I find a great comfort in observing all the brilliant, caring and hardworking professionals that make up our modern world - thank you for becoming one of them.
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
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'.
