Christmas shopping unhealthy for men.
by BrentR inmost of us guys hate shopping and now there was a study done on the psysiologic effects of shopping on men.
so ladies, when we don't want to go shopping with you don't take it personal.
it might be relaxing and enjoyable for you but it has the opposite effect on men.. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/1998/12/22/xmasshop981222.html.

Do they still go ahead and disfellowship if you threaten them back?
by ThomasCovenant insupposing local elders were to approach me with a view to a 'judicial committee' and subsequent disfellowshipping.
law # 1 i believe everything the 'society' says.. law # 2 i also believe everything the 'society' has ever said in the past even when it contradicts law # 1.. law # 3 i also believe everything the 'society' will ever say in the future even when it contradicts law # 1 and law # 2. law # 0 (zeroth law) i believe law # 1, 2 and 3 all at the same time.. please don't disfellowship me.. .
if you carry out this action i will take it upon myself to make the local jw's life uncomfortable.
