  i wouldn't mind getting any of those.

  The Rise Of The Brics Alliance

  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-19/brics-plan-become-political-alliance-reform-international-financial-system.

  step by step, the chinese seem to be building a complete alternative financial system - independent of anglo-america.

  this includes their own version of the imf and their own credit rating agency (which just downgraded the debt of the us).. meanwhile, the world obsesses with putin - which has all the appearance of the western world 'being played' by a "good cop, bad cop" routine.

  Ramifications for Wt if Finnish government was successful in prohibiting shunning

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw

  i was just thinking today of the ramifications for the wt if the government of finland was successful in its case against shunning practices, and eventually this was implemented all around the world.. the question this would raise is do they obey gods commandments or that of mans.

  jehovah has implemented a scriptural policy through the fds of disfellowshipping.

  it's a loving provision that helps the wrong doer see the errors of his ways and draws him back to jehovah.

  success!.

  today my oldest daughter attended her first birthday party ever for one of her best friends at school.

  we actually crashed because we didn't get an official invite or even an email, but it ended up working out and the mom was happy to have us there.

  so some jw who apparently only speaks spanish decides to share this article, which turns out to be a satire, to a spanish jw group.. .

  http://diversitychronicle.wordpress.com/2013/12/05/pope-francis-condemns-racism-and-declares-that-all-religions-are-true-at-historic-third-vatican-council/.

  (it would be so awesome if the article wasn't satire and was true... this would be so far out though... so crazy!!

  Disassociation

  by evilone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi all, i haven't posted here in quite some time.. just as an update, about two years ago, my wife and i moved to a big city about 500 miles away from the town in which we grew up.

  we made this move in part to expedite the fading process, which was successful.

  when we moved, as i described in an earlier post, we formally transferred from our home cong (where our families are) to a local cong in our new city, and then transferred twice more so as to get lost in the shuffle.

  To DA myself or to go to JC meeting, that is the question

  by Crazyguy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just got done with another visit at my home with two elders and even though i tried to say very little they took anything they could as a disagreement with them as enough to say they may call a jc meeting after they talk to the rest of the elder body.

  so since they are planning on dfing me any way, i'm wondering if i should just write a letter or go through with their meeting?.
