I guess it's easier for people to say "passed away" like they have gone away, instead of died. I say my grandma died.
Others miss their pets and say they have gone over the "rainbow bridge"
i was just enjoying a you tube video clip of george carlin explaining euphemisms.
one of the ones he commented about is how people try to soften the fact someone is dead by saying, "they passed away.
" noo...they died!.

"keep worshipping jehovah when under ban" - july 2019 watchtower.
in other words "get your ass kicked inspite of promises never realised".. or.
"keep getting ass kicked as this is proof of gods love".
Yes don't imagine what will happen to you - but do imagine it. They want you to be fearful so that you stick with them and hopefully get God's favor so that maybe, just maybe, you'll make it through.
i haven`t had a chance of yet to welcome all of you newly resurrected ones that joseph rutherford assured us would be arriving since 1925 .. so please feel free to make yourself known to us and if we don`t hear from any of you, what should we derive from that .?.
hello......hello.......?.
Of course they are here. Aren't they always digging up old bones in the middle east?
horror is easily my favourite genre of movie so i just thought i'd start a thread on it.. horror can be done badly and there are plenty of crap horror movies, no doubt about that.
but horror can also be done very well, too - often on a low budget.. plus, there are quite a lot of subgenres - slasher, supernatural, monster movies, body horror, psychological horror, zombie, vampire, etc.. so, do you like horror?.
what's your favourite subgenre?.
When I was a kid, I loved all of the radioactive monsters - dinosaurs, giant ants and octopuses. But those things haunted my dreams. King Kong (the original) was pretty horrifying to me when the sailors were chased and eaten by the dinosaurs.
The Thing with Kurt Russell - the armatures were so good that they gave me flashbacks in the daytime because my brain couldn't figure out how they were made.
Psychological horror - Lord of the Flies and The Killing Fields. Both made me feel trapped along with the characters.
I haven't watched movies in a while. Those were my way of escaping from the horrors of the WT and Armageddon.
The article I read tonight regarding the two guys that accused Smollett of paying them, was that they felt betrayed.
What happens to them?
And it seems like every picture taken of Smollett, shows him with a calculating look on his face. As an actor, you would think he would put on another face.
so where does the cult stand on marijuana.
my wife just visited her parents who are jws and her dad who knows nothing about it said it was a gateway drug.
he may have heard it on the news but i doubt it.
A sister used to smoke it before being in the truth, for migraines. Once in, she had to stop. She suffered a lot but wouldn't do it again.
I guess it worked for her for that particular reason. My nephew takes the drops for his back. Gives him a lot of relief. Haha his dog has bone spurs in his back and it works for him too.
someone may have already noted this.
the current assemblies are be strong, be bold.
how about be fooled, be misled, be bullied.
Haha They also want you to be:
Be Listening
Be Obeying
So you can Be Less !
watctower has posted a $40,000,000 bond following montana's upholding of the nunez v watchtower verdict of 2018. punitive damages have been upheld, and wt has purchased the bond from travelers insurance (35m+ interest)-montana sc will rule later this year on the appeal..
What does that mean? They posted a bond in case they run away or what? I'm totally ignorant.
did anyone else have really lazy people in their congregation when it came to the field circus.
people where i live are shamelessly lazy, they drive door to door even when the houses are 3 feet apart!
yes even in town houses they drive door to door.
In my part of town, the spanish congregation is who I see the most out in service. But they only have one or two on the list to contact. So they walk veerrrryyy ssloooowwlyy from one end of the street back to their car. I mean not even a normal walking pace. Strolling might be the word. Punctuated with conversation and looking around.
this is for those who are interested in bible study.. the jehovah's witnesses claim that only the father is god, and thus teach he was the saviour in the old testament.
the bible teaches that god says "there is no saviour beside me".
therefore how is it, that the lord jesus christ is called the saviour of the world?.
Whether they are one, three or an amalgamation - the actions that they take, are very different. While Jesus promoted compassion and forgiveness, God was pretty merciless and vacillating. Let's forgive David for having sex with a married woman but we will kill the child. Forgive him for murdering the husband - kill thousands because David went ahead and made a tally of the people but do nothing to him. And don't forget, David had a lot of wives. I guess God had his favorites. Too bad if you're not.
It reminds me of the multiple hindu gods. There are many, but there is just one.
