Fill in the blank-

i would like to be known as the world's greatest________________!.

SacrificialLoon

I shall be known as the world's greatest conquerer of my living room.

After I have passed future generations shall marvel at my accomplishments. Pondering the great battle of the coffee table they shall be amazed at the record of my brilliant strategems, and wonder how I achieved victory against such odds. At my monument of empty yogurt containers* they will ponder their own station in life, and wonder if they will be able to achieve all that I have.

Seriously though I haven't a clue.

*I feel the need to state that my living room is actually very tidy and there are no empty yogurt containers laying around.

Movies Better Than The Book

by littlerockguy in

although it is sometimes hard to put so many elements of a novel into a 2 hour screenplay and motion picture and you end up reading the book and then watching the movie and wish they would have included stuff they left out.

however there are sometimes when you might watch the movie and end up more impressed with the movie and grown more attached to the movie than the book.

can you think of any movies you thought were better than the book it was based on?

SacrificialLoon

I agree that the LOTR movies are better than the books. I just couldn't get through the books. I read The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, and I got about a third of the way into The Two Towers. It was very plodding and tedious.

Let's spend a chapter talking about a tree, then in the next chapter the elves will sing a song about the tree! A bit of an exageration, but it seemed like it at times. Maybe I'll make another attempt sometime.

LOL those were good. For those outside of the U.S. and maybe Canada these are also parodies of a series of beer commercials.

Have you let go of waiting for Armageddon?

by Fisherman in

although, after experiencing many disappointments and failed dates, i cannot let go and i cannot dismiss the expectation that god will intervene somehow.

i still hold on, hoping that maybe i will not experience sheol and neither will some of my loved ones.

how about you?

SacrificialLoon

For a while after I became inactive I still feared the "big A", but I don't believe armageddon will happen anymore. Waiting on God to make things better is a waste of time.

for 18 months i have been at loggerheads with my wife over the wts.

she has been the perfect watchtower slave even declaring that she'll never leave the truth.

i decided not to interfere in her life, attacking the society, and the idiots in the hall, but recently things have changed for the best.

SacrificialLoon

Now that is certianly "good news" worth sharing. :)

If you were to ask a JW these questions what would they say?

by TooBad TooSad in

jw
friends

who do think is going to be destroyed at armageddon?.

when do you think armageddon is really coming?.

When I was still an active Witness I would've probably answered this way:

1) All those not part of Jehovah's organization. Those that are spiritually weak are at risk, too.

2)Fall of communism: OMG! soon! "Peace and Security"
Gulf war: OMG! Soon! War near the holy lands
Various other events would get the speculation going at the congregation.
It was always real soon, so one didn't want to be caught being spiritually weak when it all started.

Did you have a favorite food at the assemblies (when they sold it there)?

hubby and i got on the topic last night.

he was wondering what i was eating- a frozen jello pudding cup.

i remember getting them at the assemblies, especially the hot summer district assemblies.

SacrificialLoon

Wow this thread is a trip down memory lane. Cheese Danish was the best! Also the bagel was good with the cream cheese AND the jelly. For lunch I usually got the roast beef or the chicken sandwich.

I vaguely remember when they had cooked meals at the CA, I liked the hot turkey sandwich. They also had soft serv ice cream at the CA too, even after they switched to the fast food.

4 tickets for the danish sounds right

As A Former Witness, Do You Still Carry Your Watchtower Cross?

by The wanderer in

jw
friends

as a former witness, do you still carry your watchtower cross?haunted by old memories, flashbacks and miserable personal experiences .

several individuals on this discussion board still carry the watchtower cross .

on their backs.. the time to move forward and the time to move on true, the watchtower experiences were earth-shattering events in most of our lives.

SacrificialLoon

At first I thought "they had crown and cross jewlery?" lol

I still carry my cross, it's not near as big as it used to be, but it's still there.
