  Man Goes In Hospital For Circumcision, Docs Remove Penis Instead!

  by minimus in

  a kentucky man went into the hospital for the procedure only to realize the doctors amputated his penis instead!

  the kentucky man was told afterward that cancer was noticed and because of that, the doctors decided to simply remove the appendage.

  they are being properly sued.

  If this goes to court, I'm predicting that the evidence will not STAND UP.

  i hope this link works but there has been virtually no sunspot activity since the beginning of this year and the suns magnetic field is down 60%.. if this link does not work, you might like to try googling: sunspot activity 2008 iceage.. the last time this happened we moved into a little ice age which lasted from 1100 to 1800.. global warming lies may well have met their match with reality.. so how will they tax us for the 'ice age?

  do we get our tax back that we paid because of 'global warming'.. is this why they have made fuel so expensive....because they know what is coming and they want to make a killing?.

  Everybody panic!

  Not really. Al Gore will rescue us. Currently, his company sells what are known as Carbon Credits. This is an innovative company. They might consider selling Ice Credits.

  He was one of my favorites. I recommend the following films, if you haven't already seen them.

  • The Long, Hot Summer
  • The Hustler
  • Cool Hand Luke
  • Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
  • The Sting
  • The Verdict
  • The Color of Money
  • Nobody's Fool

  He gave away millions of dollars to charity, which is commendable.

  Ray told us they sometimes fall asleep during the Governing Body meetings. So, one could make an argument that dead or alive, it doesn't make a lot of difference. The more senior, influential members of the Body will most likely prevail. The pressure to 'fall in line' when voting is tremendous, it would appear.

  Unlike Supreme Court decisions, in which the public gets to find out exactly how each Justice votes, the rank and file never know who votes for what. GB members never have to defend their votes or actions. They are above reproof.

  Has the WTBS ever explained the trinity?

  by wobble in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if i were going to comment on a deep philosophical doctrine, i would first outline what that doctrine was,has the wtbs ever dne this properly with the trinity?

  from memory they have only ever reasoned at the level"one plus one plus one = 3, not one" type of argument,and odd references to trinities in pagandom.. surely a college education would be of benefit to them so they know how to present a thesis?.

  love.

  I was a JW for 23 years. I read the Trinity brochure on countless occasions. Once I left, and began to research the Trinity and historical Christianity, it was immediately obvious that Watchtower distorts what the doctrine really is.

  In short, they define the Trinity in such a ridiculous manner, that even non-JWs at the door will reject it. (Ironically, the JW at the door thinks they've proven the Trinity false. What the JW has actually done is prove that they don't understand the doctrine.)

  My biggest problem with WT and the Trinity is this: They use it as a litmus test to prove that any religion believing it is "False". Moreover, they fail to tell their followers that JW theology on this subject is from Arius, from 300 AD.

  Walter Martin once said that when a JW shows up on your door, they're preaching a concept of God that has been perfected over the past 1700 years. C.T. Russell didn't invent it.

  I have spoken with many "mainstream" Christians. Few of them believe strict adherance to "The Trinity" is a central part of worship. What they DO insist is that Jesus is Divine, and any attempt to make him just a perfect man, just a 2nd Adam are wrong. They are monotheistic. The Father and the Son are two different persons, but they are both "God".

  How many here actually had a door key at Brooklyn Bethel?

  when i was a missionary, and sometimes bethelite, i was given a key that worked to get in almost all buildings.

  it's called the "bethel key" and if i remember correctly you have to sign for it, and you have to agree you will not make a copy.

  anyway, i felt like i had the keys to the kingdom when i had that key.

  Nah, I'll hang onto it. I have some great memories from my 'slaving for the Lord' days.

  excellent episode.

  usually, i feel that the one-hour episodes are a bit much, and i prefer the 30-minute format.

  this particular long episode worked..

  It's a good thing you watched last season's finale. Much of the plot/humor is directly carried over from it.

  Do you find it strange that none of these people practice making fire before they fly across the planet to live outdoors? I think I would practice building a fire with just what I could find in nature, to at least know what I'm up against. Each season, everyone stands around looking at one another, wondering what to do. Crazy.
