  Is a Dead Bunny Funny?

  by OUTLAW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just had a buddy up to the ranch.this is his story:.....a friend of mine saw his dog with a dead animal in his mouth covered in dirt..it was a dead bunny..not any dead bunny..this was the nieghbours family pet bunny..my friend was shocked and didn`t know what to do.he knew the nieghbours would get very upset that his dog had killed their pet bunny..the nieghbours weren`t home right now,so he came up with a plan..he cleaned the dirt off of the dead bunny and put it back in it`s pen and hurried home..a little while later,the nieghbours came home..a few days later my friend and his nieghbour had a chat..the nieghbour was angry and upset..the nieghbour said:"last week our family pet bunny died.the kids were upset and cried.so me and the mrs thought we`d have a funeral for the bunny with the kids and give it a nice burial..well,a few days ago,some sick bastard dug the bunny out of the grave and put it in it`s pen."..lol!

  !...outlaw

  I laughed at the dead bunny story. I also liked hearing about your possible Big Foot encounter...I love that stuff (as long is it isn't me in the woods getting screamed at by a giant thing).

  Rose (who's anxiously awaiting the death my 19-year-old daughter's geriatric dwarf angora bunny...good god, we've had the thing for 10 years now, and it was supposedly 2 when we got it...he's so scrawny now...how long do they live? I know...I should just Google it!)

  I had a hamster like that. He could barely move and his hair fell out, but he'd drink his water and eat his food. I thought a vet would look at me like I was nuts if I took it in to be put down...I was sure each day would be its last. Went on like that for weeks. It scarred me. No more fuzzy rodents, guinea pigs or fluffy bunnies!

  Matthew 24:12 and "The Love of the Greater Number"

  by Clam in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i may be confused but as a practising dub in the 1970's i was sure that i was taught that matthew 24:12 referred to people losing interest in god and religion in general.

  looking at contemporary wts literature they cite it as a prophecy of ever increasing lawlesness prior to armageddon.. this bible quote seems very different between the nwt - "because of the increasing of lawlessness the love of the greater number will cool off.

  " and my good news english version - "such will be the spread of evil that many people's love will grow cold.

  I always thought it meant that many would leave the "truth" ...either as the Great Trib was approaching or during it....due to pressures and influences of this terrible system of things. That scripture was constantly in the back of my mind during the first four years after I'd left. I'm not sure if this interpretation was ever even discussed at the KH or if it was merely something my guilty mind conjured up.

  if i hear one more jw family member tell me "you know it's the truth", i think i will go f#*$%@g postal !!!!

  my grammy has just been put to rest, and already my parents and my s/i/l have said this to me.

  they know i'm feeling sad, and missing my grammy, and they say, "she's going to be resurrected you know, be happy for her.

  Aww, Dee, sorry you had such a crapaliciously depressing day. Its bad enough to lose someone you love...then to have to deal with JW family trying to score points with you by rubbing their delusions in your face and telling you that you KNOW its true has to make you want to slam them back....It would me anyhow. The s-i-l thing sounds like the big fat rotten cherry on top of the moldy cake. Hope you can avoid them all for an extended period of time.

  Retiring today!

  by iamfreenow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today is my 60th birthday, so i am now officially retired!

  actually, my last day at work was yesterday, and my colleagues gave me flowers, wine, chocolate and took me out to lunch.. this is the first birthday i've ever had as a non jehovahs witness, and it feels very strange to be even acknowledging it, let alone celebrating.

  i am going out tomorrow evening with trev, linda and a few other fading or former jws for a curry at a local restaraunt, which i'm very much looking forward to.

  Very interesting. They can sound a bit more mainstream, point to the title of their DA as proof that they really do honor Jesus...but, as blondie has shown, what they are really doing is trying to strengthen the GB's claim to authority and control over the JWs. Lovely.

  My Journey - not a goodbye

  by KW13 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had a confusing journey and a lot of different things have happened in my life.

  now i have a girlfriend and were looking for a home together - we make each other happy and just as i left the witnesses, church and other things behind i am now at a stage where forums play a smaller role.. .

  this isn't a goodbye but this is kinda like a recognition saying to folks thank you for your help and support and that although i wont be online forums at much (for the time being at least while i sort things out) i will be lurking the odd time and with the odd post.
