Legendary,
You dumb cluck. Get over it? We'll learn to get over it when you attain literacy.
" we are the cause of our destruction *(it's quoted different in the bible) / i believe that 9/11 was a bad day, we cry & mourn & move on, we get over it, i got over 9/11 in under 24 hours & to be honest i'm sick of hearing about it.... now i also understand that millions was not paying attention before 9/11 & they still aint paying attention.. if people would wake the hell up and read the bible they would already know that god already warn us to listen to him, and be on guard 24/7 cause that devil which we call satan exist and on the move to overthrow billions........ where is your faith?
jesus clearly said that not to sorrow for the dead, cause they will get resurrected when the messiah comes back- john 5 verse 28,29.. so get over it and heed jesus words....

what i am talking about a movie that you thought was great, but is mostly forgotten by most people today.. well, my favorite overlooked movie is "a perfect world.
" in it kevin costner is an escaped felon who escapes from prison with another felon.
they then break into a house and kidnap a boy who is a (gasp!
10,000 Maniacs - what a trip that film was!
do you sign language asl?.
if yes i will meeting you for .
jehovah's ormond church!.
Ormond,
Don't hold your breath. There may be a few folks here who can converse in ASL but I doubt that any of them will want to attend JW meetings.
was there ever anything positive from being a witness?
could you say that because you were a witness at least......or was it all negative?
I learned that life isn't fair.
does anyone remember the advice from from the stage, encouraging mothers to remove babies from the room when they were hungry?.
how about, wooden spoons to beat toddlers into submission, preferably in front of the congegation, as to set an example in disipline?
was this just in our hall, or was it from the borg?
Whenever I've raised this issue with dubs, they always deny it. Yet I can clearly remember beatings being a normal part of the lifestyle for children of JWs. The worst that I remember was the district conventions at Dodger Stadium (Los Angeles) that were usually held in the middle of the summer, when LA sizzles. Kids were expected to sit for 8 hours a day on hard, unpadded seats, in temperatures frequently in the 100 degree range. The concession areas were filled with parents beating children who couldn't sit still under those conditions. I can remember seeing multiple parents in the same area, striking their children with belts, wooden spoons, paddles, switches, you name it, they brought their punishment implements with them to the assembly where they knew they'd get a chance to use them. Since this activity occurred on grounds that the WTS had control over as the lessee, and they did nothing to stop it from occurring, I am of the opinion that the WTS condoned it. This is supported by their continual regurgitation of the "spare the rod spoil the child" line.
The failure of the Jehovah's Witnesses to provide day care for children at meetings and at assemblies is a horrendous reflection of the priority Jehovah's Witnesses place on the interests of their children. It is indeed a shame that many more children will be raised in this manner.

You can't mandate better physical fitness.-- Hmmm
Maybe not, but there's nothing wrong with encouraging it through legislation. Poor physical fitness of the populace results in substantial medical costs for the government. That is certainly a compelling government interest.
Besides, they said it was because they wanted to curb online gambling and admitted they were too clueless to know the difference. Should they outlaw all automobiles to curb prostitution? - Hmmm
If the social benefit of curbing prostitution exceeds the social cost of outlawing automobiles, then the answer to your question is yes.
As I stated before, the people of Greece are responsible for making their own rules that they have to live with. If this game ban is not liked by the majority of the people, then those responsible for it will pay the price at the polls. We ought to respect other countries by showing them deference, especially on something as insignificant as this. The Greeks practiced democracy long before we did!

I see nothing wrong with the Greek law regarding video games. If the people who live in Greece aren't happy with it, they will hold it's author(s) and supporters politically accountable. Also, the law could have the desirable effect of improving the physical fitness of the populace, by denying them an entertaining and leisurely attractive activity that encourages a sedentary lifestyle.
at one time, nearly all of us held the thought that we would live forever.
the thought of our being mortal and actually dying just wasnt there.
deep inside, we all know we are going to die one day, but has the realization of the truth of that ever just hit you, right out of the blue?
Dakota,
Having dealt with similar issues in my family, I can only advise not to take a single test too seriously. We've seen plenty of false alarms over here. In any event, it couldn't hurt to eat right and exercise regularly. Take care of yourself!
i had a conversation with an active witness from the usa lately.
and when talking about child upbringing he stated that some children need a spank sometimes.
of course i was upset because of that, and i didn't thought witnesses was that stupid.
Very well put, Heaven!!! You are obviously a very special person!
so i've been gone for a few months, get off my back already.
actually, the us army is keeping me busy, but they've decided to promote me to the rank of sergeant first class with the corresponding $300.00 a month pay raise.
i'll read and post from time to time, just wanted to let ya'll know i'm still alive.. blessings.
Congratulations, Yeru!!! I think the vast majority of folks in this country are very thankful for what you and the others in the service do for us and are also very proud of your efforts!
Friday/Lefty/Ungrateful Jerk: You ought to fly to Afghanistan with your Watchtowers and go to the areas known to be inhabited by the Taliban and do some preaching there. Maybe then you'll appreciate what guys like Yeru do for all of us. Your cult certainly enjoys the benefits of our government, but is unwilling to contribute anything in return, other than an annoying knock at the door and destruction of our environment through the massive printing of sickening cult propaganda. You are a wannabe Jehovah's Witness anyway; by your own admission, you're inactive. Now get back to the kingdom hall and scrub the poop rings out of the toilet, and maybe the elders will be moved enough by your buttkissing to promote you to ministerial servant.
