I've read and studied a lot of mythology and now just view the bible as jewish mythology. It's kind of funny though, when it comes down to it, the bible stories are rather boring in comparison. I think thats why the bible has held up though and why people still believe it.

I've read some pretty imaginative Fairy Tales but....
by lucifer ini must say the bible takes to prize, they are pretty creative, i mean a snake that is a devil talking to a naked woman trying to make her eat fruit, or how about a man who gets his strength through his hair (sampson i think) and an evil woman tricks him and cuts it off, anyone else feel like the bible is a good bedtime story, but now they left the borg find it hard to believe??

FREELOADER PIONEER SISTER USING MY STUFF BUT I GET YELLED AT!
by stillAwitness inmy mom's got this pioneer sister friend who stays at our house every weekend (she stays in some remote town that's far away from the hall) and i go into my bathroom cabinet this morning and she used up half the bottle of daily oil control cream for my face i had in there.
i mean ladies, you already know how expensive those things are!
and i would always just use a pint size amount so the bottle was filled to capacity.

Jehovah's Witnesses: All About Money
by joelbear in.
printing books and magazines over and over again that say basically the same thing.. my newest thought on this.. why not just put the watchtower in pdf format on their web site.
publishers could download as many copies as they need for their family for the study.. you could hold studies online.. no need to print literature anymore..

They would never do that because computers are from the devil.

I have a problem with a god that would give me life and freewill but then want me to spend all my time just telling other people how great he is.

Ukiah is fine now. There are a few places closed because of no power, I saw a bunch of sticks and garbage on the road from a creek that overflowed last night, but otherwise, Ukiah is fine. I haven't checked the highways though.

Local Needs - Disfellowshipped in the family, how to treat...........
by DaCheech inthis weeks local needs basically (summed up) told us not to speak to family members that are disfellowshipped unless they live in your house, and this conversation is very necessary.
also you cannot attend funerals, and weddings, etc.. how sorry i felt for the disfellowshipped one in our hall, and the parents (everyone knew who the talk was about).. to make it even worse, after the talk was over there was another part, and then the song was to follow.... well before the song/prayer the presiding overseer went on stage for another 10 minutes, re-emphasing the local needs talk the other elder has done.. during the prayer... i was praying to whatever god is up there to make these arsewipes pay for what they are doing.
those 2 minutes of prayer were getting me close to crying/screeming.

I would go and find that disfellowshipped one tell them what I thought of that talk and the whole policy in general. It would probably do wonders for that person. It sounded like a fairly young individual, so therefore it was probably over sex, I would say that that is what humans do, is have sex, they are not a freak because the elders told them that they are.
