What the hell was he saying to the herd?
Which one of you has just soiled my backseat?
so, the elder that dfed me, was driving by my house with a carload of sheep yesterday.
as he was driving by, he pointed at my house.
what he didnt know, was that my bf was also on the road, waiting for him to pass so he could pull in the driveway.. when the elder looked up, and recognized my bf, he dropped his hand really fast, but knew he was caught.. so, now i sit and wonder, what the hell was he saying to the herd?

why care about spiritual things?
i see most of all of you speak in different opinions of what is or may be true spiritual things (while a few ar just freezing cold or dead spiritualy), but i ask all of you, why even bother to care or pretend to care of spiritual things?.
-aleman.
Spirituality manifests itself in numerous ways within numerous people and as a result is entirely subjective.
I forget who said it but this springs to mind.
'We are not Human Beings trying to be spiritual, we are Spiritual beings endeavouring to be Human'.
I see myself as an intensely spiritual being in physical manifest and so therefore on one level caring about myself, the land, my family and friends is for all intents and purposes the same as caring about spirituality.
Its a question of perspective.

lets have some fun and title your very own copy of the awake or watchtower magazine.
i'll start off with a couple of my own :.
lend your money to jehovah to gain everlasting life.
Words ending in "TY" and why they're all evil. (University, Diversity, Reality, Factuality, Honesty,Society oops)
Hillarious! I loved the end one!

just curious.
a new poster has a similar sounding name (slimdf) and it recalled slim to mind... .
perhaps his tarnished jw conscience was bothering him and he returned to the fold??
Wasn't Slimboyfat either Canadian or British?
He is British and he will probably be having a break for a while as some do from time to time.
Hope that is all it is.

when you were little growing up as a jw and you lost a tooth and placed it under you pilor where you ever visted by the tooth fairy and did it leave you money or a copy of awake.
I think its healthy for children to believe in the tooth fairy as well as all the other mythological creatures - yes its a lie but they have to believe the small lies so that they can believe the larger ones later in life like justice, mercy, democracy, those sorts of things.
(*inspired in part by Terry Pratchett).
remember how it was always stressed how important it was to "have a personal relationship to jehovah"?
that those who got disfellowshipped or disassociated themselves because of what members of the org.
had said or done, or failed doctrine etc., wouldn't have done so "if they only had had a close, personal relationship to jehovah"?
I used to speak regularly to Jehovah but the bastard never spoke back!
I gave up in the end and decided that I would speak to other Gods who were more sociable - at least they answered!

Seems possible it could be the same person.
I dont see why he would bother setting up a new profile - its not as though he has left under a cloud. I know he could be controversial but I think he enjoyed this and would sooner post under his existing profile.

I havent seen him about in ages to be honest and I still owe him a pint!
Sometimes controversial but always intelligent and well read - I actually quite liked him, even though we might have locked horns at various times historically.

let's see exactly what people are holding so firmly to, while all the time believing they aren't actually deluded.. section taken from: .

first, let's take a quick look at the basic biblical narrative:.
If someone wants to believe in the god of pink unicorns because he visited them and made them feel really good, that is fine
You mention the god of pink unicorns as an extreme and both you and I know that this is a dig at my beliefs - how very dare you - I am now very upsettings!
May the god of pink unicorns strike you down!

Blessed Samhuinn and a Happy Halloween to everyone!
