Hang on a second... isn't this a pagan ritual?!
the neighbor child came over to play with my youngest child.
i think she's about 4 maybe 5. well anyway there was some strawberries out on the counter and she asked if she could have one and i said no.
when i looked over later i saw her sneak one.

something i have noticed over the years is how much harder it is to research the history of the watchtower society from its own literature.
people have thrown away old publications in place of the watchtower library.
i beleive soon the watchtower library disk will be discontinued in place of the online library.
R. Gerome Harris said: Where there is concealment, there is deceit.
Well stated.
I have a lot of books from my parent's library that I'd like to sell. The hardbound Awake! and Watchtower volumes start at 1960 and go forward, I think, to around 2009 (?). I believe year 2002 is missing... my Dad either lent it out and it didn't come back or he didn't order it because that's the year my Mom died.
so i got coerced into watching this crap last night.
a few observations:.
1) it personified the witness mantra that doing more for the org = happiness, doing not enough = misery.

The onus is on the civilised and enlightened world and it's legal system to intervene to stop the evil fruitage religious fanatics produce.
Well stated fukitol.
When Christopher Hitchens was asked in a debate where does evil come from, he didn't hesitate but stated firmly and clearly:
"From religion."
I do miss The Hitch.
i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.
i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.
so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".
Wow, that was awesome! Terry, please don't feel badly. Sometimes it takes something like this to wake a person up.
These 2 received some new light today courtesy of their organization but handed to them by you. I think they grew up a little today. Well done.
walking towards my seat after lunch, i made eye-contact with a j.w.
male walking towards me.
as we were passing, he smiled and said 'hello', so i replied with, 'hello'.. well, if a member of the g.b.
Beth Sarim said: might say after sitting through this 3-day assembly, I will say that this was probably the most thought-controlling, thought-inducing, manipulative assemblies of all time. Seems like they are really tightening the leg irons.
And I bet the JWs there thought it was the best one yet! ;0)
when i thought of myself as a christian witness of yahweh attempting to be a footstep follower of jesus, psalm 104 was one of my favourites.
if i was ever in some wonderful scenic area, psalm 104 would jump into my mind, and i'd start to praise yahweh and jesus.. but if something horrible came to mind as in the following video, i'd always think of the favourite christian escape clause, it's all because of adam's sin.
but any connection between natural animal savagery and adam's sin is never logically made in the bible.. interestingly, the supposedly inspired psalm 104 (nwt-the grey one i guess) itself says that:.
Another of Yahweh's awesome creations: Invasive species - Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) is a perennial plant and a member of the carrot family. It is a garden ornamental from southwest Asia that is naturalizing in North America and becoming more common in southern and central Ontario. Giant Hogweed has the potential to spread readily and grows along roadsides, ditches and streams. It invades old fields and native habitats such as open woodlands.
The clear watery sap of Giant hogweed contains toxins that can cause
severe dermatitis (inflammation of the skin). You can get severe burns
if you get the sap on your skin and the skin is then exposed to
sunlight. Symptoms occur within 48 hours and consist of painful
blisters. Purplish scars may form that last for many years. Eye contact
with the sap has been reported (in the media and by various web sites)
to cause temporary or permanent blindness. However, evidence of
permanent blindness linked to exposure to Giant hogweed cannot be
substantiated by any existing research. Coming in contact with Cow
parsnip and Wild parsnip can cause similar reactions.
what question would you ask geoffrey jackson, as a member of the governing body of jehovah's witnesses, to answer?
