Going to start talking figuratively now. . .
by Lore ini think from now on i should just start talking figuratively whenever i want.. but i'm not gonna tell you when i'm talking figuratively.
you'll just have to figure it out.. .
so in some other thread if you see me talking about the time i smothered a 2 year old i was babysitting, you'll have to guess whether i'm being literal or not.. and when i tell the tale about the time i laughed so hard i shot pepsi out my nose, i could be serious, or i could be being figurative.. and if i say that i'm a 32 year old billionaire heart surgeon with a third arm that helps me with surgury.

"If Armageddon came in '75, the new ones would have died"
by Lore inthat was the reasoning in a recent public talk at my hall.. namely: if the end of the world happened in 1975, then loads of people who had not yet converted or been born would have been destroyed, or never existed, so therefore we should be happy that yahweh was patient and armageddon hasn't come yet.. .
anyone else see like 5 blaringly horrible problems with this reasoning?.
#1 that will never stop being true!

JWs having children lack faith
by Lore inif you're a witness couple and you choose to have a child together, it means you think armageddon is not going to arrive for at least 9 more months.
and then you'll be nursing it for at least 6 months.. that's almost a year and a half.
if armageddon started within that time: woe to you!.

Everyone who disagrees with me is closed-minded
by Lore inyou know how witnesses will say they have to go to a lot of doors looking for someone 'with an open mind'.. they might even study with someone for months and then if they eventually call off the study they'll be considered 'closed-minded'.
.
i find that funny..

Inconsistant loss of 'privileges'
by Lore ingotta love how giving talks, mowing the lawn, plowing the parking lot, adjusting microphones and counting the money are all considered 'privileges'.. but if you just stop answering questions.
bam no more giving talks, handling mics, or definately counting money.. but no matter what you do.
you will never loose the 'privilege' of mowing the kingdom hall lawn.

Prewritten talks? (And hello again btw)
by Lore inhey i've posted here before several years ago as a different user.
i didn't feel like recovering my old password, i realized that i could technically be tied to my real name with that account information if one of my family members were to google me, plus i hated that username anyway.
so i just made a new account!.

phrases like: "please help my husband get home from work safely today".
have changed to: "please be with my husband today".
