Just when it is taken out of context like that, the idea that obtaining "great things" is BAD is really odd. Like, what else should people try to obtain? Small things? Really shitty things?

Have any of you guys thought the chef was simply objecting on culinary grounds because she thought the delicious dish of black pudding was best served uncooked? -

I sort of get the appeal of this dish if you wish to not live so long, but can someone explain to me what the single half tomato is supposed to do? It's just nasty and soggy and does not seem to fit in at all... -

I would rather be in the JW cult than the ex-jw cult
by questioningmyfaith ini have posted one other time on this website.
just for the mere fact that i wasn't anger and bitter and ready to declare the gb the sociopathic criminals that so many here ascribe to, my initial question digressed to bickering over ad hominem attacks against the gb and not my beliefs that i'm questioning.
some did give me some help on my questions.

Hello and welcome. You seem very smart and I agree with everything you write but I disagree that we ex-jw's are a cult, we are simply a humble organization who works for the betterment of humanity. You seem very stressed. As a member of the ex-jw community I would like to say we offer free anti-stress training. Please pay-pal me 50$ to get free material on our free ex-jw anti-stress courses.
Can I get your contact information we will not contact you?

Pshycos! - 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention Program
by thedepressedsoul inwow this is interesting!
i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.
they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

Just like JWs always describe the last convention as "the best one ever", i think it has become a bit of a cliche that we always think the cult bit is worse than ever every year. However they do seem to have outdone themselves with this program, it is certainly the most cultist I can remember.. -

In the country where I live, most of those who go to Syria goes to the same fundie musques often partially funded by Arabic oil money. The Imams of course treat it like it's a mystery why this is the case (it has be documented they have been involved in sending young people away for "Quran schools" which act as a halfway houses to Syria) all the while they preach the medieval interpretation of Islam and do their level best to for instance ensure the women do not get jobs but live on the dole.
Part of recognizing not all Muslims are terrorists is to recognize Muslims don't turn into terrorists because they catch a cold but there are specific environments which breed terrorists.

I don't get why they can go to Syria and fight for Morons International and not get charged with treason when they get home; it should be an instant ticket to 10 years in the shade and a potential extradition to Iraq or Kurdistan for additional charges. -

kaik: actually i have not insulted you but just pointed out that you either misunderstood or misremember whatever you might have read in 2006. If you consider that trolling so be it and for my sake you are free to believe gravity waves were observed in 2006; i just find it facinating you seem to assume you remember correctly and all other scientists have forgotten thats all. -
