Stumbled by June 2012 Awake

by breakfast of champions in

it would appear that none of the caterpillars or locusts consumed in the article "edible insectsa meal we will not forget" were properly bled before eating.. .

hahhaahha - it amazes me that some of you guys actually read this dribble and then get all worked up over it. is it really worth the aggravation? i personally have had enough to last me several lifetimes.... bugs don't have bloodstreams...they are all nice and crunchy and taste nutty and earthy and are a source of insignificant protein. you won't get fat on them either, unless you douse them with animal fats....or if you eat the kind that come out of the ocean and turn red when they are cooked.

happy awakenings! i wonder how many doctoral candidates have utilized wtower lit for their theses..........................

The relatives refused to visit them? That means they were pursuing their relationship with the worldlies...which means they weren't towing the line like all those quotes Blondie has so carefully plucked out for the group. It's just another one of those obnoxious little digs about how wonderful an example some unknown person sets. Absolutely no proof, just little carefully devised statements.

i know some who truly believed they were "gifts in men".

they needed their approval and wanted to be well spoken of by them.. i know some who can't stand elders and regard them as pests, always looking for some dirt on somebody.. i know some who liked maybe one or two but regarded the majority as unqualified.. how did you view the elders??

a lot of them too love the power it gives them. they could never attain a "position" at work or in the world, but here they find a place where they can be looked up to and it makes them feel superior. when the power goes to their head, then it gets bad. another issue surrounds the ones that are just plain stupid. they conduct the worst most boring pitiful sessions - no command of the English language - terrible grammar...all sorts of annoyances. And where they get the idea they are able to play psychiatrist or psychologist or counsellor is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out there.

My father was a boozed up one....I knew a couple - no several that were downright nasty....some good guys in the bunch, however...some very nice guys. (most of whom probably are here)... then there was that one of the lord's anointed who was a pervert....but we won't go there.

Moroccan girl commits suicide after being forced to marry her rapist

by Diest in

after reading this article it just reminded me that koran and bible are completely backward.

the justification for this forced marriage is found in deuteronomy 22:23-24: ' .

if a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.

so sad that so many women have been so mistreated and abused throughout the centuries...and it is downright scary that these ultra-right fundamentalists are trying to dredge up a patriarchal society that is so destructive.......the moroccan girl's story is just so awful, but just think of how many women have been treated so cruelly and horridly throughout history and still are in islamic countries.......why does that #@%)*@) want to bring that sort of thing back to an enlightened nation such as ours?

JW boyfriend, the sequel

by SEL in

almost a year ago i made a few posts here about how much effort i ought to put into getting a man i loved considerably out of the wt.

by that point i had already put in a lot of effort and accumulated a nice collection of books on the wt, on cults, on bible chronology.

then i finally gave up and decided to leave.. we kept in pretty regular touch until last fall, when i moved a neat twelve time zones away.
