The above link is one of five of my bikes.
I built this completely from parts, even the engine I assembled with parts from e-Bay etc.
My best one is my 72 750 Norton Commando

the scene is familiar.. a jehovah's witness family with one member who has awakened from the lie.. the split comes down to an interesting wrong terminology:.
unbelieving mate vs believing mate.. .
the context of the entire family is as a jehovah's witness family.. damage has already been done.
Whilst I can be of no help to you in your sad situation Terry, I can thank you that confirmations of what I was allways worried about when an active, has helped me, you see I was very very fond of a Sister, for the only time in my life I thought I had a chance of Love and family, but the Elders put her off as she was a Pioneer and I wasnt, afterwards, she did finish with me but then she tried to get me back, I refused her, and partly due to fears that you yourself have had materialise.
Yet I never forgave myself for denighing that only chance of happiness that ever came my way, for nearly 20 years I have been in a living death, your Revelations help me realise I was actually saved from an even greater unhappiness if I had wed a woman whose Love was very conditional indeed.
just curious, am i the only one who considers the possibility that " demons " may be " aliens".
or that aliens are other races who have sided with demons, and that we are going to see some serious " war of the worlds " stuff, vaporization included?
maybe there are other races of beings giving the governments help or influencing them?
One thing that puzzles me about these "Aliens" that have such super technology to come all this way, why do they crash so often once they get here?
What I want to know is, are Fairies Demons or did God have lower forms of Spiritual beings, maybe to help keep nature ticking over, and didnt think it wise to mention them to us in case we started worshipping them?
flooding, storms, summer of rain here in the uk, worldwide weather patterns seem chaotic at the moment.
wonder if the jws are saying it's some kind of sign of impending doom!
mind you 10 years ago on this site i was told by many here they didn't believe in global warming, i bet those members are declining..
I thought by now most people where aware "Global warming" was a hoax, sure the weathers messed up but whilst "Global Warming" puts the blame on us, the average taxpayer, for using our cars and using electric lights, the real perpetrators, the big business who cut down rain forests etc, can still go around ruining the planet whist making us feel guilty and paying for it!
My guess re the current British weather, is that it was caused by BPs oil spills in the Gulf and their use of chemical dispersants so they wouldnt have to clean up the mess, this has caused the Gulf stream to falter with the resultant effect on the Jet Stream.
Actual Global Warming has allways occurred, its tied in with solar cycles, the one we recently experienced has been in decline for quite a few years now, thats why its been getting colder!
ok, so sseveninches made this comment on another thread got me thinking:.
concerning reading books (life is to short): i read many 'secular' books, and my sister reads even more than i do.
we're very open about it - in our house we have a giant bookshelf of books we've read, textbooks, and some movies.
Just read the Watchtower twice!
so the olympic torch came by the other day, and who did we stand next to by accident to watch and celebrate, but a jehovah's witness couple.. now, even i know that the olympics is pagan in origin, and was for the greek gods so what are jehovah's witnesses doing celebrating it?.
the lady even had what appeared to be her book bag with her.. this makes the not celebrating of birthdays very hypocrytical..
I think it would be more in keeping with the ideology of the Olympic torch if they drove it here from Greece in a Volkwagon.
for the first time in ages though, i actually re-evaluated my position on god/wt.. i had attended a few funerals in the spring and had also reignited some friendships with people from the hall.
but actually, i just keep going round in circles in my mind.
i cannot back an organisation with such a flawed past and one that endorses such policies as shunning & blood.
Yes, the Holocaust, Ive not long finished reading the following book, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine", written by a Jew
In the book, the Author recounts how in 1948, just 3 years after thier persecutions, the Jews where rounding up Palestinian men and boys aged 10 and over, getting them to dig pits, then kneel in front of them, then shoot them in the back of the head.
"Never again" I belive is their motto, if you only concentrate on the Jewish sufferings, you will miss out on even worst horrors committed by the likes of Stalins Russia, and even British bomber commands actions resulted in far worst suffering for babies in their Mothers arms than being quickly shot in the back of the head.
You will find such horrors commited by men all over the world and all over time.
So, what of God?
What should he have done for instance in the cases of men of one culture shooting people of another in the back of the head?
Suggestions and thier consequences eagerly awaited.
this picture appears on page 30 of the latest october 15th 2012 watchtower in an article discussing the importance of sticking to our baptismal vows..... .
anyone care to guess how young this poor chap is?.
cedars.
Trick question!
You only have to compare the faces of the three in the front with the rest of the attendees to see they are stuffed.
Taxidermists never seem to get the mouth expression realistic, and those glass eyes are a real giveaway.
i was a regular taxi for alot of people.. we (wife & family) pick up one sister and her 2 children for many years ...he husband had walked out on her and we did'nt mind.. however when we were asked by the cobe wife to pick up and elderly and infermed bro a 3 day assembly (we had 3 young children) i said no.. we pased her and her daughter traviling alone to the assembly.. .
So there was this old lady who came in the truth and got baptised aged around 90 I think. Some here might remember her Baptism at Hayes Bridge.
She used to allways get a lift from a nearby family except when they where away then I would travel in the opposite direction from the KH to go get her as I was the next nearest Dub.
So, I had been given instructions to pick her up for say a week, then the nearby family would be back and pick her up on the Thursday.
However, on leaving myself that next Thursday, I had the nagging feeling of uncertainty that said family would be picking her up, so I changed direction and drove to her house just to be sure.
There she was indeed, standing in the dark on her street corner, eyes closed, hands together pointing at the sky, praying to Jehovah to send somebody to pick her up.
She was completley unsuprised that I had turned up, she was so confident that Jehovah would answer her prayer.
ive been lurking for quite sometime and now feel the need to come and noob it up.
it's taken a lot to bring me to read anything critical of the wts.
i used to glance at these apostate sites and shutter in fear because of the obvious demonic venom that can be found :) i am still an active witness and have been in this struggle to stay both in and be removed mentally from this organization.
About the only thing I could never really convince myself to belive, was the Borgs interpretation of Daniel 12v12 to be some assembly hardly anyone alive even remembers, yet they had to use that assembly because nothing else happened within the timeframe required to fit in with thier claim to have been persecuted and chosen in 1919.
Its so obvious that the 3 1/2 year persecution will happen to all Christians at the same time as the 3 1/2 year reign of the Global Government that will kill all those who refuse to take the mark of the Beast, when ever did that happen in 1918?
