  many of us have shared in these projects, and honestly, some of my best and worst memories of the 'friends' were had at these crazy events.

  will you please share some of your experiences at quick builds?.

  I only ever went to one quick build, and that was only cos my cousin went and I was staying at his house at the time. We didn't really want to do any work so we said we would do health and safety / security. They let us as well even though we were only 16. I didn't even wear the hard hat, shows how much I knew about H&S. My cousin had done a short course at school I think but the sum total of his knowledge was giving a plastic dummy mouth to mouth (this is in lifesaving terms you understand, not a blow up doll or anything)

  The site was full of lasses looking for a guy with their names written on their hats in marker pen. There were some kids who came but couldn't go on site so just annoyed the neighbours by playing football in the street and kicking the ball into people's gardens and windows. Lots of the equipment was piled on the pavements so ordinary folk couldn't get passed. The guttering was put on wrong so that it drained off into the neighbours yard. Some clown decided to put all the plasterboard up and make a start on the decorating before the electrics had been put in. At one point a resident called the police... it was a bit of a shambles really.

  The society did tighten up on who could go on quick builds shortly after that. Maybe they heard about us and our botch build.

  did anyone else notice when they were a dub and they read the society's literature how many exclamation marks the writers used.

  it used to really get on my nerves.

  apart from being a punctuation faux pas to use that many !

Apart from being a punctuation faux pas to use that many !'s it was like a madman popped up on speed was trying explain something to you.

  Welcome to the Botchtower brothers! Aren't we glad for this spiritual banquet!! All these warnings and rules and far out shit, aren't we ecstatic at soaking it all up!!! The end must be really close at hand cos we've changed some prophecy around and jiggled a few dates and it turns out armaggedon will come....soon!!!! Isn't that great!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Arrrggghhh. Ok it wasn't that many but I'm sure the 1 key on the GB's keyboard was more worn out than on a normal persons.

  Maybe the dubs have different rules on the high seas like shipping has in international waters. I'd rather walk the plank than be stuck on a ship with witness singles - the pent up hormones released would be enough to asphyxiate everyone on board.

  What happened to Babylon the Great? Why is it still here?

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  have you seen bab-el-on the great?

  she was here just a few minutes ago.. seriously, i was thinking back to the days of 1988 - when we first received the copy of the penultimate revelation book.

  you know, the one with the red cover and the scary dragon pictures inside.. at that time, jw thinking was heightened to expect the imminent destruction of false religion.

  The whole politics turning on religion thing never made any sense. It was inconceivable that every political entity on earth would turn against every religious organization for some unknown reason. It was interesting reading Leolaia's post cos according to the org. BTG has fallen and got up more times than a drunk on a cobbled street.

  Like has been said it's totally ludicrous the way the org. try to shoehorn some trippy halucinations by a geriatric old duffer 2000 years ago into modern day parallels. They'll probably change the identities of the beasts and harlot in revelation soon cos it will give them an excuse to print another book for the dubs to flog.

  Did life as a JW turn you into an alcoholic?

  by hamsterbait in

  2. friends

  i certainly blamed my drink problem at first on the frustrations and blah blah blah of the life as a jw.

  if you had a drink problem as a jw what caused yours.

  does leaving aid recovery?

  How Do You Discern If Someone Is Telling The Truth or Lying?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  what signs do you look for in determining whether someone is really telling the truth, outright lying or possibly using "theocratic strategy"??

  ?

  liars get tripped up in what they said

  There's a saying that to be a good liar you have to have a good memory.

  I think a lot of detecting if someone is lying or not is just intuition. Naturally we pick up on speech inflexions, mannerisms etc that hint to us that people are lying to us from experience we've gained through life. Most mothers are especially good at it when sussing out their kids, they're like polygraph machines with a perm.

  No offence to your friend but those BS stories used to really piss me off when I was a dub.

  So when a good christian dude in Africa or somewhere is starving to death while watching his family being raped by militia and prays to god the almighty says No fuck you, there's a fella in Indiana with a big deal going down. I'm gonna help him out..his loan payments on his SUV are 2 weeks behind you know. Hope you understand.

  A heard a similar story from a CO's wife years ago. When the police asked the suspect why he hadn't attacked her he said it was because she was so fucking ugly.

  Thanks for posting the pics Richie, they're great

  Stanley theatre looks pretty opulent. I thought it was the Vatican at first glance.

  It was good to see Mr Miyagi in the GB photo taking the tour too. I noticed the white kid with the glasses had a bullshit compass tie - it always points to the strongest source of BS. It's the latest Japanese technology.. maybe Mr Miyagi gave it him.

  One thing to note though - be suspicious of street artists who imagine you in skimpy thongs. Unless you're imagining him in the same attire.. then it's a happy ending.

  He must have taken every disease known aboard too cos they couldn't have survived the flood. The only respite Noah had during all those years preaching was contracting all those sexual diseases.
