  That Middle Finger

  by prophecor in

  2. humour

  thru out history, has there ever been a time when throwing up that middle finger ever meant anything positive?

  me thinks its been universally a bad sign from day one.

  have you ever wondered?.

  Actually, I always believed we (English) stick both fingers up (much more classy, don't you think? lol) at the French to show we can still use a longbow.

  I'm actually not sure what either of those items are, lol, just seems an odd combination. In fact, the only time I can recall a reference to cornbread is in the film 'Aliens' (anyone else remember the line..?)

  Oh, and congrats at being preggers at your age Snowbird, lol.

  my wife and i just visited some friends over the weekend from another congregation.

  these two are both full time pioneers, and also participate in various construction projects around the country.

  the husband just got back from a 3 week trip to walkill, new york to help with construction on a new residence building at 'the farm' (does anyone call it that anymore?)..

  Maybe they'll allow local underpriveledged kids to use these facilities. I'm not familiar with area (being English) but I imagine like most 'inner cities' there are areas of extreme hardship.

  ...and no, I'm not serious, I don't think for one minute that the WT would give anything (apart from trashy mags) to the local community, whereas I bet other Christian Religions would open their doors for the benefit of the community.

  my son is having two large cysts removed tomarrow, they are in sort of a delicate area.

  NO! I will never understand how an organisation allows children to make such a life long commitment, when they haven't had enough life experience to know what it entails.

  Because it's the only way the Organisation can 'secure' its future really. Imagine what would happen if the WTBTS followed Jesus and Baptised at 30...? The business Religion would collapse. I was Baptised as a minor...and later than 'my JW' wanted/expected.
