watson: Is this what started your fade?
Not really, but it came close.
Thanks, John Doe, for posting the video (I think).
i was just reading brenda lee's "out of the cocoon" and found an idea that i share just to let some steam off.. according to the fable, satan (this guy .
Satanus: "... satan only has chicken power. "
Don't underestimate chicken power. The rebellion has only just begun.
for those who left the truth did you ever think of sending xmas card to the menbers of your old kh just to stick it to them..
The dubs would eat up any pranks like that as "persecution" from Satanic apostates. It would reinforce the belief in their uniqueness.
i am, of course, talking about the famous "watchtower" image.
they even built one on top of one of their buildings.... just wondering - does any other religion have some architectural symbol which they use as a sign of their belief?.
of course, there are crosses and the ancient egyptians had the pyramids (as did some early american primatives) -.
The watchtower isn't the WTS's "sort of" logo. It is a logo, used for advertising purposes, just like the spoon on Betty Crocker products. Remember, the WTS is a business corporation.

The corniest lyric I ever heard is from a song (I don't know the title) by Randy Travis --
"Since the phone still ain't ringing, I assume it still ain't you."
The corniest song I ever heard is "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" by Tiny Tim. When it was popular (in the 60s, I think), I was in the hospital and the song was playing on the hospital's godawful muzak system. I remember lying in the bed thinking, "If I die, that will be the last thing I ever hear. There is no God."
in another thread, creativhoney said:.
the bible says there is no greater gift than you lay down your life for another, the bible refers to blood as life.
i conclude we should all give blood.. and chalam replied:.

If we asked dubs this question, they would answer in unison, "Dunkin Donuts!!!"
i heard a story a long time ago that the bible is like a bottle of fine wine that everyone has been taking a drink out of and putting a little water in it so the bottle still appears to be full, but there has been so many people that have taken turns before us taking a drink of fine wine and replacing it with water that there is only a little bit of fine wine left in the bottle but there is still some fine wine in the bottle.. john 10:27my sheep listen to my voice, and i know them, and they follow me.. i was also told that in the pass that some rulers found that it was easier to control people by putting things in the bible, like putting in the bible that the people were to give a percentage of all there earnings.
it was easier to get the people to give them money if they believed god required it then to get them to give money because a man required it.
history is not my good subject so it is hard for me to determine weather this statement is true, but i have observed that people have at the very least altered the words in the bible to help you understand the bible according to what they believe.. any inputs?.
i don't mean go back to a kingdom hall, i mean other religons any of them.
can anybody think of a reason that they might do this?.
i', begining to feel curious about the church up my road, just curious, thought about popping in there one sunday, i will probably run out screaming 5 mins later but there you are....
highdose, if you're wondering how other religions conduct their services, by all means, go.
For many exdubs it seems to scratch an itch of curiosity. I went through that phase, too.
