Your husband's avatar is very awesome. I love Hobbes. And Calvin and Hobbes was one of my Mom's favourite cartoons. If the elders had known she'd probably have been 'shepherded' about that. I'm glad they didn't know.

The elderly sisters are at it again.

by John Aquila in

awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

Love this story. Inside sedition... tres cool.

I found it quite interesting when my Father told me that "The CO is here to stir up trouble."

That doesn't sound like anything good in my opinion.

need input: My wife is at it again...this time about the faithful and discreet slave

by goingthruthemotions in

so you all know that i go with my wife to the meeting to protect the kids from the drival and pacify her.

tonight we are sitting there and she points to mathew and says something about the faithful and discreet slave and she said eplain this.

so breaking away from what i was reading in the meeting..." in search of christian freedom by franz"...i said.

The Marvster... excellent observation. This is what I've seen as well. JWs swerve off the course of discussion because they cannot refute things. Either that or they clam up. My Dad used to just stop talking because he couldn't come up with anything. This was accompanied by the stunned deer-in-the-headlights look.

goingthruthemotions... have you ever thought of buying Bart Ehrman's book 'Misquoting Jesus' and just leave it out where your wife can have a look at it on her own? There's some good info. about the gospels contradicting each other in that book.

a 7,000 year old skeleton has been found with leukaemia...7,000 years is nearly the age of our first ever parents adam & eve is it not?.

so is this skeleton eve?.

Heaven

Yeah, she's a scientific plant; a fake.

Of course, JWs can never explain how Science fakes radiometric and carbon dating (other than my Mom's attempt at saying the big bag of water surrounding the Earth prior to the flood skews radiation data. ).

I so had to go away to College as I grew older. My teens were spent going to school, working, and planning my escape.

Guardian of Doctrine Admits 'Doesn't Really Matter If Jehovah is Accurate' say it how you want...

by LostGeneration in

tough to watch this whole video, the way he talks gets pretty annoying, especially after the rc hearings:.

http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwban_201506_1_video.

go to around 8:20 where he gets into the pronunciation of jehovah.

Heaven

So I will stick to my favorite pronunciation since G-Jack has approved: Jehobo

Rebel8's 'Jehoopla' always makes me snicker.

Jehoover and Jehovahahaha I like as well. ;0)

Emma art

by umbertoecho in

I almost gave up today except for a girl her tried to throw herself infront of two cars.............

by umbertoecho in

this may sound insane but i literally have blood on my hands as i have just come home from a counselling session that went wrong...i wanted to collate all that has happened and record it...hospital policy is against it.

i said "what am i alive for then if not to tell the truth" she tut tutted and i walked out sadly in despair.. when i got to the ground floor there was a young girl screaming her head off.

she was afraid, that is all she was...........afraid.

Heaven

(((( umbertoecho ))))

Please tell Riley we hope she chooses life, as painful and difficult as it can be sometimes, because there are good things in it too. One day she might help someone as you are helping her.

Why doesn't Jesus appear to you ?

by opusdei1972 in

the new testament tells us stories about miracles, people speaking in different languages by the holy spirit, jesus appearing to many of his disciples.

but, why this was only a first century phenomenom???.

here some reasoning: http://godisimaginary.com/i15.htm.

Vidiot, I sent that link to a friend of mine. His niece is into Jesus. I thought it might be a good Christmas present to give to her. I offered to buy him one as a joke... he is NOT into Jesus. ;0p
