  And that's why she hurts the cult gaining influence on the non jws in the family. Tell her, You Go Girl!

  Go to a place your ex uncle loved and enjoy it in his honor.

  Looooooooooong Prayers...

  let's have a bit of a laugh.. .

  who of you rolled your eyes when brother never ending prayers was called up to give the closing prayer?.

  who of you then proceeded to tap your feet, fidget loudly or start doing balancing acts off the back of the chair in front of you while waiting for it to end?.

  One memorial held at an Assembly Hall had a brother in his late 80's give thanks over the bread. Good thing it was unleavend. It was a nearly 15 minute epic. I swear the oldsters were sitting down from exhaustion. It was about the last one I atteneded.

  Here's the basic rundown:

  Ok so little JW (21 going on 15) decides to get a job with a computer firm. Leaves family construction company to do so. In time moves out to live with a "Spiritual Loser" and a worldly guy. Little JW's older brother berates and cajoles him for his weakness. The mother is freekin Edith Bunker, airhead and slave to Brother Archie milktoast in this version. Little JW goes to a party with JW Spiritual Loser and they drink too much. Loser drives the car, runs a red light and then speeds away from the cop trying to pull him over. He smahes the car, both are arrested, then little JW is released. He has no one to pick him up and ends up at his worldly roommate's girlfriends place. A little wine, a little coziness, then its fade to black, he gets some action and ends up on the street weeping all night. Comes home, open arms. Boo hoo Jehovah forgive me, I done got sexy.

  Ok is it just me or how many times does a person's room mate get drunk, run from the cops and wreck the car with the owner in it? Ok it may have happened I'm sure, but it this the norm? Isn't it the warped view of some very disturbed religious zeaots? Hell I"m in my fifties and have never met anyone this has happened to. I never had a girl try to bed me so quickly as this blonde he was with. The GB has a warped view of the world. They dont realize that as many good JW girls would do that as there are "worldy" girls.

  Did you see this epic? if so please comment!

  From David to Matt the doctor became a childish character. The show demographic dropped to the lowest common denominator. They were sometimes engaging and the Pond and Rory kept it lively but it was OK. Who ever the Doctor is next time let's hope the writing improves beyond the current storyline. Its starting to drag.

  Did anyone hear have trouble because of their wit?

  2. humour

  i don't recall self depracation or witty remarks within the witnesses.

  everything was always so heavy.

  i suspect that a person with wit, despecially dry wit, would find themselve in trouble.

  My humor was already suspiscious to the cult members. A CO and i had lunch one day and he asked when I was baptized. i said Feb. of 74. I asked him the same. He said 1975. So I asked, "Before Oct. or after?". He laughed and said after. That was my humor. He knew exactly what I was talking about. So it was stuff like that that some took to heart. Ok so what already? I'm done with it.

How about you? Any movies that were a big sin are nothing now? What changed, certainly not the movie. What about you has changed so that it is no big deal now?

  SAD talk, a CLEAN consceince VS a CLEAR conscience. Such dubspeak

  by Wasanelder Once in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was informed by a witness that there was a "wonderful talk" at the sad this week.

  it was about a clear conscience as opposed to a clean conscience.

  a clear conscience is no proof of god's approval because one my not feel condemned by thier actions due to a faulty perspective.

  I was informed by a witness that there was a "wonderful talk" at the SAD this week. It was about a CLEAR conscience as opposed to a CLEAN conscience. A CLEAR conscience is no proof of God's approval because one my not feel condemned by thier actions due to a faulty perspective. Thus Saul of Tarsus felt godly for persecuting Christians. But he was not approved by God, his consceince was not CLEAN in Gods eyes. So a CLEAN conscience comes from knowing and accuragely doing God's will. So does this strike you as more propaganda to guilt people into doing God's Will as jammed down thier throats by the GB? I think its semantics and a bunch of random crap.

  Your thoughts?
