The JW funeral talk outline - poor taste or REALLY poor taste?
by Mr. Falcon inso i attended a funeral for a jw who passed away (non-"annointed) and i would have to state that although i have heard the standard funeral talk outline for dozens of funerals i've attended, i never really took the time to listen.
and my god, i was cringing.
the outline is essentially broken down like this:.

Question to any practicing JWs
by Mr. Falcon ini ask you to consider this scenario:.
a devoutly born-again christian man, who strives to live every facet of his life in accordance with what is written in the gospels, spends all of his time helping the poor, reading his bible cover-to-cover, living an austere life and genuinely feels that his life is motivated by his love of christ.
a real christian in practice, both public and private.

Black Friday Stampedes VS. District Convention Morning Gate Openings
by Mr. Falcon inhas anyone had a jw rant to them around christmas time about how "horrible" it is to be a "worldly" person at that time of year?.
certian jws love to use the infamous black friday shopping riots that tend to occur as examples to back up this argument.
now, while those incidents are indeed disgraceful, they are hardly isolated to the "world".. among my "priveliges" was to be an attendant at a few district conventions.

For any non-JWs who might be curious about the blood doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Mr. Falcon insimply put the current blood doctrine can be described as such:.
you can sit down and eat some cheese.. later on, if you want, you can grab a spoon and eat tomato sauce out of the facking can.. or, maybe you fancy eating cooked dough.. and hell, who doesn't like a couple of slices of pepperoni?.
but god have mercy on your soul if we catch you eating a mother-loving pizza.....

The "Pop-In"
by Mr. Falcon inso last night the wife is working, the kids are getting ready for bed and i'm watching futurama.
doorbell rings.
now it's dark, snowing and i live on a back road, so it's very odd to have a visitor.

Question Directed at Religious People
by Mr. Falcon ini'm currently dealing with some very religious jw family members and this has led to several "debates" (i hate to use the term debate, since it's more of a one-sided argument where they do nothing but reference watchtower publications, but whatever).. gotta be careful in what i'm about to ask, since there's been quite a bit of turmoil on here whenever there is a religion vs. science sort of discussion.
i've searched on past threads as this topic has come up but haven't received any real answers one way or another.
just lots of fighting.

Something to Think About
by Mr. Falcon inhow will it seem years from now when all that we cherish and believe will become as dusty exhibits in a museum?
we are constantly finding ourselves in different states of being, between breakfast and dinner.
perhaps, even that final snack before we are carried off in a realm of terrifying heights or ages undreamed of.

I challenge all of you!
by Mr. Falcon ini've compiled my list of the 10 worst comedians ever.
jay leno - just a massively tired and unfunny tool who should be burned for what he did to conan especially.. talented opposite: conan o'brien or jimmy kimmel.. carrot top - somehow figured out how to make a career out of prop comedy.
i'll give him that much.. talented opposite: this is tough because prop comedy is deader than ghenkis khan.

Watchtower Artwork Revisited...
by Mr. Falcon ini was wondering if any former bethelites could clue me in to how the illustrations get planned/decided upon that wind up in the watchtower publications?
does the writing department formally ask for a specific illustration to go with their dumb article or do the artists just smoke some ganja and come up with their own zany stuff?.
also, to any active bethelites monitoring this site, i would like to submit a recommendation.
