B.O.E. 13/01/14
by LucidChimp in"in minnesota, a man said to his visitors: "i saw you coming, so i went to get this book.
" he held up a bible teach book and said that when he was in prison, he stole the book.
when asked if he had read it, he replied that he was going to read it on the weekend while he was fishing.

Getting bullied in school? Pray... and stuff. That'll fix it for sure
by LucidChimp ina jdub who is close to me was telling me about the talk at their meeting this sunday.. some old git (visiting speaker) related a story about his grandson who was getting bullied in school.
the advice that was given to the boy was "pray to jehovah about it"... not "let's go talk to your teachers", or even "pass me my machete" (this is manchester, sue me).
nope - this poor lad was left to talk about his problems with, well let's face it, himself.. i was outraged at this and moaned for a while (i do that sometimes - often), only to hear the saddest part later.. the obviously-damaged-and-impaired-by-his-upbringing kid does pray about it, long and hard.

1 Cor 2 v 14?
by LucidChimp ina loved one of mine who is now "out" mentally (and waiting patiently on other family members so they can get "out" physically too) pointed this change out to me after an assembly day just recently.
not being one of the chosen few who carry around the new silver spoon - they noticed the difference in their old bible as the speaker was reading from the new one.. .
nwt: but a physical man does not recieve the things of the spirit of god (1 cor 2 v 14).

A question for those who left due to ill treatment and abuse from the WT and its cronies
by LucidChimp ini'm glad that i had biblical doubts - which led me in turn to ttatt.
happified in fact.. for those of you who escaped the wt because of abuse or malice on the part of people in your congregations: are you glad?
(obviously not glad for the abuse itself).

Quail sammiches
by LucidChimp insomething that used to bother me back when i cared what was written in the bible (nobody's perfect) was the glaring difference between what jesus is supposed to have said in luke 11 -- which of you if your son asks for a fish will give him a serpent, or an egg give him a scorpion.... and numbers 11 where israel cries out for meat (ungratefully or not) and jehovah sends them meat... and promptly kills them before the first munch is munched, for trying to eat what he provided when asked to.. .
to me the sneakiest machination of god here (satan learned from the master i guess) is that the only other time he sent them quail was the night before he sent them manna for the first time... give the people a taste for lovely roast quail sammiches on skybread panini, wait until they run out of sammich filler and then pow!!.
"trap sprung suckers.

Hi
by LucidChimp ini've been lurking here for a year or two now (since i stumbled across ttatt and was stumbled by it), i even started an account some while back and asked a couple of questions.. but i never actually stood up and said hi... so hi, my name's jon and i'm a dubaholic.. .
i was "born in" in the 80s - and grew up on a liquid diet of cheap suits and revelation book pictures (i mean really, group after group just staring at the pictures while not listening, i must have spent more time staring at those pictures than i have any work of art in my life, literally hours at each lurid picture).
i "left" in my teens, but apparently lacking any kind of actual sense, returned to studying with a childhood friend from the congregation in my twenties (although i was never baptised, my entire small family were dubs, so i saw more witnesses than "worldly people" on a regular basis.. they love bombed my arse for years!)..
