it use to bug the hell out of me that the Creation Book and now the Creator Book basically discount evolution because no one can explain where "life" originated... yet it never phases them that they all believe that the most intelligent, powerful, all knowing, all giving, blah blah blah just "existed". How wonderful! My mind can't wrap itself around this logic.

Same here with me. Something just had to be there uncreated. It's best you make that uncreated entity the thing you definitely know exist (the universe), because any reason you give requiring that the universe need be designed can be turned on God's head as well (unless you arbitrarily change the rules at God. If so, why not change the rules one step before? ) Of course that doesn't mean God can't exist, but he certainly isn't a necessity.

StinkyPantz, I guess I can't convince you you're wrong, but eventually you'll no doubt reach some kind of end. As Farkel said, it could take some time, though.

Shower like a Man

1. Take off clothes while sitting on the edge of the bed and leave them in a pile on the floor.

2. Walk naked to the bathroom. If you see your girlfriend/wife along the way, flash her your tackle making the 'woo' sound.

3. Look at your manly physique in the mirror and suck in your gut to see if you have pecs (no). Admire the size of your dick in the mirror, scratch your balls and smell your fingers for one last whiff.

4. Get in the shower.

5. Don't bother to look for a washcloth (you don't use one).

6. Wash your face.

7. Wash your armpits.

8. Crack up at how loud your fart sounds in the shower.

9. Wash your privates and surrounding area.

10. Wash your ass, leaving hair on the soap bar.

11. Shampoo your hair (do not use conditioner).

12. Make a shampoo Mohawk on top of your head.

13. Pull back shower curtain and look at yourself in the mirror.

14. Pee (in the shower).

15. Rinse off and get out of the shower. Fail to notice water on the floor because you left the curtain hanging out of the tub the whole time.

16. Partially dry off.

17. Look at yourself in the mirror, flex muscles. Admire dick size.

18. Leave shower curtain open and wet bath mat on the floor.

19. Leave bathroom and fan light on.

20. Return to the bedroom with towel around your waist. If you pass your girlfriend/wife, pull off the towel, grab your dick, go 'Yeah baby' and thrust your pelvis at her.

21. Throw wet towel on the bed. Take two minutes to get dressed.

King Solomon

by Cicatrix in

okay, maybe i'm ignorant, but i can't stop thinking about this.. it's recorded in the bible that jehovah gave solomon great wisdom.

so why did he eventually turn away from jehovah and start serving the gods of his foreign born wives?it would seem to me that that increased wisdom from jehovah would make him more likely to continue to serve jehovah faithfully.. this also brings to mind the account of adam and eve and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.. i considered this from the angle that solomon used his free will and chose to oppose jehovah.

but is free will really "free" if you are punished with death for disobeying the creator???.

crownboy

Give it a shot, Yerusalyim, crazy stuff gets said on this board all the time.

Yeah, the whole Solomon thing is ridiculous. And Adam and Eve, too.

Don't take any custody cases before that guy.

Black JW are Losing Out on Opportunities

by JT in

jw
friends

a few days back a thread was started that dealt with persons who had given up things in behalf of the "truth" college, retirement, dreams, etc.

as a black man i see the impact that wt has had on me, thankfully i live in an area where if you are a black person you can have opportunities that as a black person you may not find in miss.. .

i look back at myself at all the job advancements i turned down due to being a jw, i used to work for a white guy who told me, james you have the abilities that would make you a good manager, i said to myself --no way-- i see you guys working 50-60 hours a week, and i got meetings and parts yes responisiblities in the congregation that are far more important than some "job" .

crownboy

I guess JT could have been on the cover of Black Enterprise magazine had to listened to his old boss.

Of course, you do make valid points. There seems to be a defeatist mentality in the black community in general, but definitely more so among black JW's. I've known quite a few talented brothers myself who "put kingdom interest first" and squandered opportunites for potential success. In my congregation (black), there may be only 2 brothers with college degrees, none of the elders (though they all have good jobs), and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in my age group that's in college. I'm certainly glad you are doing well for yourself, and stay safe, I think I heard the maniac snipper struck again this morning. BTW, what did you secularly as a JW? Are you in college to better yourself at your current job, or to change careers?

Also, as larc pointed out, blacks aren't the only ones that get screwed by the Watctower, either. I've seen tons of convention experiences with white brothers talking about giving up opportunites. Maybe if the Society had richer members, they wouldn't be scraping for finances? So silly, and sad.
