What's the difference between Jesus Christ and an oil painting?

You only need one nail to hold up a picture.

Riddle me this ......

what is greater than god, more evil than the devil, the rich need need it, the poor have it, and if you eat it you will die?

when asked 80% of kindergardeners knew the correct answer, yet only 17% of stanford university graduates were able to answer correctly

Student Bill Jones was visitng his Maths Professor at the professors home.
'I hear some youngsters playing in the garden,' said Jones, a graduate
student in mathematics. 'Are they all yours?'
'Heavens, no,' exclaimed Professor Smith, an eminent number theorist.
'My children are playing with friends from three other families in the
neighbourhood, although our family happens to be the largest. The
Browns have a smaller number of children, the Greens have a still
smaller number, and the Blacks the smallest of all.'
'How many children are there altogether?' asked Jones.
'Let me put it this way,' said Professor Smith.
'There are fewer than 18 children, and the product of the numbers in the four families
happens to be my house number which you saw when you arrived.'
Jones took a notebook and pencil from his pocket and started scribbling. A moment later he looked up
and said, 'I need more information. Is there more than one child in the Black family?'
As soon as Smith replied, Jones smiled and correctly stated the number of children in each family.
How many children in each family?

Here's an easy one for all you amateurs.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Ok, I See Some Evidence of Brainwashing

jw
friends

elder: "the brothers (referring to gb) have advised that we read only the material provided by the faithful and dscreet slave.

you should read all of the watchtower and awake articles every time you receive a new one, as it shows respect and appreciation for the hard work the brothers have put in to creating it" .

well i never liked playboy??????????

Violet

makes me sad too, and also a bit defiant.

Because, in the end, it will all boil down to us standing alone and naked before the Lord of Song. And I don't think he will accept any excuses, like "But I was only following orders..", or "The Governing Body told me to eat, so I ate...."

Sometime we have to be responsible for our own lives' decisions.

I read your post and thought of this song. Dunno why. Get a copy of Jeff Buckleys version and play it.

Popee

Hallelujah (words and music L. Cohen)

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Tissues or Hankies ??

by Prisca in

jw
friends

.

time for a bit of fluff, methinks..... which do you use - tissues or hankies?.

i use tissues, cos i don't see any reason why i would want to put something i've blown my nose on in with the rest of my laundry .

PopeOfEruke

The Pope uses Hankies because tissues rip the meat off my nose in huge long shreds.

Disgusting JW Funeral story

by PopeOfEruke in

i heard of a funeral held for a sister last week in a kh.. her non-jw daughter-in-law write a poem for her, and wanted to read it at the service in the kingdom hall.

the d-i-l had studied many years ago but was never baptized.

however, because she was wearing slacks, she was refused to read it from the platform and had to read it from her seat in the audience.. how low can you go?

PopeOfEruke

IW

I didn't mean to imply the woman wanted to CONDUCT the service. The Elder conducted the service, she meant just to read a poem. I have been to many Catholic funerals and reading by all sorts of people are welcome, including children. Even one had singing. But the priest still conducted it.

And the reason this lady she was refused was only because she was wearing slacks! If she had a dress on, it may have been OK. What difference do clothes make??? Sexism rules in the Borg.

How low can you go? This story upset me so much, I just can't believe how lucky I am to be free of them. This religion is really no better than the Taliban.
