  Ray, in that first pic it looks like you're rehearsing for a starring role in the sequal to the "wankergate" video.

  Is it appropriate to describe eating Lobster Bisque as eating?

  by Theocratic Sedition in

  the cafeteria had lobster bisque and wedding soup today, and i figured i'd try something new considering i love seafood.

  it was tasty, don't get me wrong, but there was nothing in it.

  what's the point of eating something if it's similar to drinking tea?

  Yeah, I've had bisque like that. Tastes like the chef waved a lobster at a pot of water from the opposite side of the kitchen.

  Funny How These Hitler Quotes Align Closely With How The WTS Operates

  by LostGeneration in

  2. beliefs

  on another thread i was trying to recall a quote from hitler that was as follows:.

  make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.

  check out the rest of these and see how they apply to how the wts operates:.

  These quotes from Mein Kampf always struck me as applicable;

  "The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one. "

  "The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."

  The former COBE was intelligent too, but in a rather sinister way, he reminded me of Monty Burns from The Simpsons. I always thought he was just one toxic chemical spill away from being a super-villain.

  It's not the ignoramus elders that used to worry me, but the smart ones. Those you'd expect to be able to see through the illusion, but somehow still swallowed it whole. There was one in particular, who had the demeanour of an elderly academic. Well educated, he was a Cambridge man with a good knowledge of the classics and fluent in latin. I had a lot of time for him, he was an oasis of intelligence in a desert of dumbasses.

  Despite being a true believer, I think even he was exasperated by the lack of brainpower demonstrated by the congregation. He'd shoot me a pained expression sometimes, such as when the watchtower reader pronounced the word "grandiose" as "grand-oyse". Or the memorable synchronised double-facepalm from us both. A roman legion was mentioned in some publication by it's number in roman numerals, II, and instead of reading it as "secondus" the reader said it was "eleventh". Now there's a future elder. Reductio ad absurdum indeed...

  we had our circuit assembly last weekend and this was one of the needs of the circuit.

  one of the main points was mid week meeting attendance.

  apparently the attendance is very low.

  It's the kids I really sympathise with. Dragged out on a school night, forced to dress up like shop window dummies and made to sit through this excreta. My local herd of dubs didn't finish their borefest until 9pm most weeks, then another half hour of gossip, before they even think about going home. How is a pre-schooler supposed to handle this? Even the older kids, it can't be doing them any favours. Yet they still get dragged along, often literally, by parents desperate to show how "spiritual" they are.

  Speaking as a failed study, the book study always struck me as an exercise in utter banality. What's the point of it? Sitting there with your arse going numb whilst someone reads a paragraph or two of clumsily worded assinine drivel, then listening as someone quacks back what they've just heard. Why? To prove they've managed to stay awake thus far? Trudging through some monotonous tome, two or three pages at a time, ad nauseam. In what universe is this considered studious?

  As for the TMS, the demonstrations always seemed hopelessly optimistic. Why is every "householder" so co-operative, so willing to start a study, etc, etc. Just once I wish they'd injected a little realism, and had them tell the dub to "go forth, increase and multiply" (or words to that effect).
