Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so badoops, sorry, just had a Sound of Music moment.

Revelation It's Grand Climax at Hand! - bookstudy
by TheListener ini was reading e-watchman today and someone there is saying that after studying the what does the bible really teach book at bookstudies the next book will be the revelation book!!!.
there isn't any real proof, but the poster claimed a letter from bethel stated this.
perhaps some here can dig around and confirm or deny this new rumor.. we've studied it 3 times in the past and it's been awhile.

They should really go for broke and study the Babylon the Great Has Fallen book, I remember as a kid people grumbling about that piece of crap, I bet it would really look like a festering turd in the light of the new millenium.

God, I could just see my poor mother following along and nodding. Then making some comment on the ride home after the meeting about such deep things being revealed.
One of the most distasteful things about growing up is realizing just how sad and brainwashed your parents were/are.

JW writing committee: Incapable of seeing the irony!
by sir82 inthe march 1 watchtower's cover asks the question, "where can you find christ's teachings?".
meanwhile, in the very same magazine, we get 2 study articles containing the following:.
-- which type of video & video game to avoid.

They never seem to see the irony. I thought the supreme example was the article in which they ripped the Amish for their shunning practices. I mean, can you get much more ironic than that?

JW's and the Cross
by Honesty inwhy is it so offensive to a jw when a person mentions the cross?
-
-
Big Dog
I might be wrong, but I think the Watchtowers rejection of the traditional cross comes more from Rutherford(?) trying to make his religion "differant" and finding ways to distance themselves from the more mainstream churches. One only has to look at many of the stances taken on things like Holidays, voting, blood, ect. to see that these are used as things that make the Witnesses "differant" and thus correct.
They get offended mainly because they feel they are correct in their view, and the one speaking of the particular doctrine in question is ignorant of the facts, or simply just ignorant of spiritual things in general.Bingo, give the man a cigar.

What has hurt you the most for being a JW?
by MsMcDucket in.
or what do you regret most about being a jw?.
for me it's being alienated by my twin daughters.

I think it would b interesting to take a poll. It seems reading this and other threads like it, those of us born into the borg despise the loss of our childhood the most, its just such a common theme among us, I'd say that wins hands down. But for those that came in as adults it doesn't seem that there is quite as clear cut common theme with them, except for maybe shunning.

Jehovah baby: you were my better-half, but just an invitation to the blues.
by tetrapod.sapien inlosing jehovah was like losing a girlfriend that you loved.
you barely had time to flinch when you found out that she had been sleeping with all your friends and stealing your records to pawn off.
that you had just been another sucker on the vine.. when jehovah dumps you, you start looking at yourself longer and harder, and wondering what it was about him that you found in yourself, until all you see there in the reflection is just yourself, dancing with an imaginary hand and waistline.. when jehovah was gone, and the war was over, i realized that all the things that had made me "good", and "moral", and "hate what was bad", didn't mean anything to me anymore.

Good stuff Tetragod, I'll do an extra goat on the hibachi tonight in your honor.
Made me think of the classic: When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
