146Why I remain one of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Brother Jeramy inallow me to begin with a clarification: when i say i am one of jehovah's witnesses, i don't mean that i am an advocate of the watchtower society or a devotee of some of its more controversial false teachings.
i mean that i am a christian, a disciple of jesus christ dedicated to jehovah god, and who remains in union with my brothers and sisters who make up the family of faith that globally refers to itself as jehovah's witnesses.
some totally understand the distinction between the family of brothers and sisters and the corporate organization known as the watchtower society (wts).

Where Does Jehovah Live?
by Wild_Thing inwhen my niece was very little (over 20 years ago), barely walking or talking, my mother decided to teach her "where jehovah lives".
she would coach her and say, "where does jehovah live?
" in a sing-song voice.

Soooo.... Jehovah dwells in the Seven Sisters. Hmmm .. this seems rather fornicationist to me.

Possibly a great question to ask JW's since this last week's WT.
by Crazyguy inso since the type anti-type doctrine has been dropped 'does this mean peter was right when at luke 12 :41 he said the faithful and discreet slave was just a parable?
'

Lisa Rose said: I hope they keep this up, they are making it so much easier for people to see that they are being led by idiots.
I agree. I think long term JWs are having more and more issues remaining strong in the faith when stuff like this happens. Also, the videos they are putting out these days aren't helping either. The GB members do not come across well in these.

Mad Max
by berrygerry inokay, it seems that there are few movie buffs on here.. irrespective, i "loved" all of the mad max movies (yeah, mel drunkenly said shit, wtf, his work means nothing ???
).
n'importe-quoi (no matter what) those low-budget movies were awesome.. respect !!!

Definitely a Mad Max fan here. Loved the original movies when they came out. Will likely see the new one. Hopefully Tom Hardy isn't as much of a jerk as Mel. Gibson, well, he isn't perfect and may require meds but he isn't the only person in the world like this. I suspect his Catholic background coupled with his stardom helped create the a$$hole he seems to be.

Paint Nite - fun evening and a new hobby
by Simon inwe (and by 'we', i mean my wife) decided that we should try something new and she, erm, i mean 'we', liked the idea of painting.
so i enthusiastically (i.e.
begrudgingly) went along for the night to the "pain nite" event she'd booked us for a couple of weeks ago.. the premise is pretty simple: it's held in a pub or restaurant, all the art supplies are provided, the instructor then walks you through how to reproduce a painting they have chosen for the night and you have a glass of wine or beer, do some painting, have something to eat, have some more wine, more painting, more wine, realize you are drinking the dirty paint water and so on.. here's the site: https://www.paintnite.com/.

A neat exercise to do while drawing or painting is creating something using free association.
Setup your materials, clear your mind, and then just start drawing or painting.
I have only done this once back when I was a teenager. This was the result [ sorry for the creases... it's really old ;0) ]:

LOL!
The other one that really gets me is the 'we evolved from monkeys' religious theory.
Noooo... we had a common ancestor. That's why there are humans and monkeys today. (It actually should be apes but I won't split hairs here).
