Can Jehovah's Witnesses play any M-rated video game?
As the daughter of a JW I still play M-rated games and watch R-rated movies. I guess it's just a choice. Sure they are violent, but one has to be weak-minded to be led into such acts. I understand that these are only forms of entertainment and not a way of life. What Jehovah doesn't like is that one spends too much time infront of the t.v. when instead that time could be spents as quality family time or studying the Bible. But it doesn't mean he doesn't want for us to do other things besides reading the Bible. I guess it's just a choice of the person.
What is the TRUTH about Grandmaster Harold Mayle!? Part 2?
What you are doing can be held against you in a court of law and from the looks of it you are headed that way. I would recommend you remove your question and not 'help' the person you are having issues with by giving him things he can use against you at a later date. Also hire a lawyer.
If someone begs you for food in a restaurant, what will you do?
If somebody begs me for food in a restaurant, I will buy them a meal or give them a complimentary meal, assuming I still managed a restaurant.When I still worked in fast-food, I encountered many people who wanted food. Some were dishonest people who were just looking for a free meal, some were people who were genuinely in need.After sometime, by the virtue of having worked in many locations across the city, I came to have an intuitive feel for the real and fakes.The fakes: they toured around restaurants in the city looking for free food and money. In some cases these were able bodied men who I presume had given up on working for an honest living.One case stands out in my memory. I was just about to close the restaurant for the day when a man came in and requested to see the manager.I came out to the lobby to meet him and he said to me,“my brother, I am very hungry. Please feed me. I have been sick and the medicines I take make me very hungry. If I don’t eat soon, I may faint. I would have bought some food but I don’t have any money and there’s is nothing in my bank account. I came out today to look for work, I got something which I will start tomorrow, but at this moment, I am penniless.”He went on to explain that he was a fine artist who fell sick four months prior with a life threatening disease that ate all his savings.I told him to wait a bit for me. Fortunately, it was around our closing time so I had lot’s of food to hand out to him which would have otherwise gone to wasteI made him a double chicken sandwhich, an extra-large portion of chips, 2-piece Original recipe chicken, and a bottle of water. From my wallet, I took two one thousand naira notes and added to the tray for him. His transport fareHe struck me as a hardworking man down on his luck and I wanted to do as much as I could.I took the tray to the lobby for him, told him to enjoy his meal and to get home safely.Three months later, the company that this man worked for won a large contract and he was kind enough to suggest to his boss that they give us the catering gig. Sadly, it didn't work out, but I appreciated the gesture immensely.I have experienced biting hunger many times before in my life and I know a person can never make sane decisions whilst their stomach rumbles.
Is miss saigon based on a true story?
Yes and no. Yes in the facts of the cruelty and injustice of the Vn war; there had been countless number of cases in which American soldiers left behind Vn girls, who gave birth to many discriminated children called "con lai" (mixed blood) or "bui doi" (the dust of life); and yes, the "last helicopter" scene was real, as many people were left behind, crying and screaming in despair (my 2 uncles were part of that crowd). No in the fact that the plot is sooo much more glamourized than the countless real-life untold, unpublicized stories that never made it to the press. We, the Vietnamese, don't even like Miss Saigon, because the plot is that far-fetched: there were NO romantic love story during this war time; most of the pregnant, unwed Vn girls were innocent village girls, who actually got disowned by their parents and kicked out of the house to roam the streets; the homeless "bui doi" also continued to live on the streets after their mothers died from malnutrition and illnesses because no neighbors would dare to extend a helping hand; less than 0.5% of these children got adopted into other Chinese or Vietnamese families, in which they were pretty much used as slaves; and I haven't witnessed or seen any real case in which the American "father" had returned to fetch for their children, as they wouldn't have any way of knowing that they even had any children left behind. The most disturbing part was the female heroine ended up killing herself in "honor." NO, our Vietnamese sense of honor is in SURVIVAL after the war. In such extremely harsh living conditions after the fall of Saigon, we did not have the choice of "dying for love." No, we chose to LIVE FOR LOVE, for the love of our family, to honor and serve our elderly parents and grandparents as well as to survive for the sake of the kids. THAT is the form of sacrifice and honor we believe in and practice. If Miss Saigon was a compelling story to you, then you should really watch the movie called "Green Dragon." Although the specific characters were fictitious, it painted a more accurate picture of our experiences.
