  The rabbi says, "We send them to the candle factory, and every once in a while they send us a free candle."
  
  The kid says, "And what do you do with the crumbs from your table?"
  
  The rabbi says, "We send them to the matzoh ball factory, and every once in a while they send us a free box of matzoh balls."
  
  The kid says, "And what do you do with the foreskins from your circumcisions?"
  
  The rabbi says, "We send them to the IRS, and every once in a while they send us a little prick like you."

  New Boy,

  AXELSPEED IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE.
  UNLESS YOU WANT TO SIGN YOUR NAME TO SOMETHING

  SPEAK NOT

  AND LISTEN WELL

  AND DON'T PUT 5,000 WORDS OF WT BULL SHIT ON MY POSTINGS

  
  Just who exactly are you? You do not sign your name either. What is your name? Are you hiding too?

  I know Axelspeed, I do not know you. JT asked if anyone had the article in question, Axelspeed kindly posted it.

  This is a "community board." Axelspeed did not hijack your post. He was simply contributing to it.

  What's your beef? Give him a break. He did nothing wrong. Remember, everyone here hurts over their life in the bORG.

  Afghan girl from National Geographic cover found

  by razorMind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .....does anyone remember the "girl with the green eyes" on that national geographic cover (taken in 1984)?

  they've found and identified her, after 17 years.

  i thought it was pretty interesting, anyway.

  LB,

  Nat'l Geographic website says she is somewhere between 28 and 30 years old now, no one knows for sure--even her. That puts her age at the first picture somewhere between 11 & 13, give or take.

  Amazing story. I'm going to watch the special this weekend.

  Dont blame the witnesses, its the Bible...

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dont blame the witnesses, its the bible's fault.. well you can blame them for trying to stick to the thing, but belief in the bible is the main problem.. i've heard the gb and witnesses be called evil by some, as though they have gone out to hurt people on purpose.. but i doubt that this is true, at least in recent times.. no the problem comes from believing the bible is god's word and trying to interpret it and follow it.. what happens when you do so?.

  you get the catholic inquisition,people burnt at the stake,you get jews fighting for a promised land, religious groups who let their children die and a host of other problems.. i ask a question.if you were god and were going to have a book written on how man should live, would you do it in such a way that if misinterpeted or taken too literaly or mistranslated slightly , could result in the death and suffering of thousands of people,and would enslave people to false religious beliefs?.

  yes there are good points and principles in the bible, mainly the words of jesus, who didn't write any of it himself.. but a few good principles don,t outweight the bad done in the name of the bible through the past 2000 years.. the society has tried to follow the bible, and take it for real .in doing so they have had to take on beliefs and ideas that can ultimatly cause harm.. it is like me reading a instruction manuel for my car, that is a fake written by a non-expert.if i follow that manuel , although it may not be all wrong, some instuctions could be in error and cause damage to my car and risk injury to other people.. if people then come along after and say "well its not the manuel thats wrong , you've just misunderstood it , look if you do it this way,that way..".

  sleepy,

  Good post. You made some very logical arguments. Of course not everyone agrees, which is fine. Don't let You Know's comments bother you. I personally believe that the Bible and the "God concept" as most people understands it, is the cause of much human suffering and exploitation.

  Keep up the good job of thinking for yourself!

  Tallyman,

  This is one of those times that I’m damned if I do, and damned if I don’t (gee, sounds like the last thread!). I know it doesn’t matter what I say, you will think I’m lying, but I’m not.

  I’ve got to tell you that this is a bit shocking. I read your post and couldn’t figure out what it the world you were talking about. I read Declan’s post yesterday, and just figured it was one of the many people who have benefited from my book and decided to give me some support. I declined to post a thank you, because I just wanted to let the thread die.

  But I honestly had no idea who “Declan” was and didn’t think to check the profile…until I read this thread. I just found out that it was my 15 year old son! Wow!

  Now I have to also say that Michael is a good natured and sensitive guy. He doesn’t swear as a rule. I told him about our previous “thread war,” and he apparently read it through. Last night, he had trouble sleeping, and got angry over your hate-filled attacks on me, and decided to tell you a thing or two.

  And man, did he nail you! In an incredibly well-written and succinct post, he pretty much summed up the situation. And he’s 15 years old! Wow, am I impressed!

  Now here’s the kicker: If you think that I would be stupid enough to put my name in the profile to “anonymously attack you,” then think again! I don’t need to pretend. I’ve dressed people down before on this board with my own name. Why would I change it now?

  I just have decided to quit behaving like you, and that is exactly why I have not spewed forth the hate that you have.

  Any rate, you have had your say far too many times. I have listened to the same rants and raves by you over and over again.

  I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else. Therefore, I am done with this matter. I will not be visiting this thread again. So say what you want; have your bitch session. I won’t see it. Furthermore, I won’t be responding to anything else you may say on any other thread either. If you had something worthwhile to say, maybe I’d listen. But you are beyond reason.

  BTW, you have promoted my book far more than I could have ever hoped to! Thanks again!

  Tally Ho Tallyman!

  Farkel,

  I am really wondering what you meant by your post. I was also unclear what you meant by your post on the other thread as well. But I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt based on our long friendship. You know me, and I hope you know better than to buy into what Tallyman is saying. Our past goes way too far back to damage it now. E-mail me sometime.

  Doug
