  Ham Sandwich.

  by Blueblades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for centuries the catholic church stated that it was a mortal sin to eat meat on fridays, which theoretically meant that anyone who intentionally ate a ham sandwich on a friday and died thereafter was sent to hell for an eternity.

  now, centuries later,rational, logical and appropiate changes were made by the church to make teachings ( like the other one on st. christopher ) reflect the different epistemology and ontology and changing circumstances of the times.

  sound familiar?

  We are NOT appostate

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not to rain on the collective parade but what makes people here think they are appostate?

  most of us have come to a rational conclusion that the jw / wtb is directed by a bunch of old men not directed by the holy spirit, is fallable, and cynically changes doctrine.

  so to be against that is not to be appostate.

  I don't know what I can tell you, but I do know that I hate Tom Cruise. He is one arrogant son of a bitch. I thoroughly enjoyed watching water get thrown at his face...Katie Holmes can disappear also. While I'm hatin', John Travolta can bite me. Hollywood weirdos, what have they done? I suppose you could say they've employed thousands of people at particular points in time while they had their mansions built, and their airports constructed. Other than that, they get rich while the plight of the common man descends into nothingness. Sometimes I wish L. Ron Hubbard was still alive so he could get all these no-talent assclowns together and have a phenobarbital and applesauce party. Maybe do some vodka shots when they're done and wear purple shrouds with tennis shoes. Idiots.

  I'm thinking about getting a TATTOO?!

  by Frog in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what do ya'all think about this...'somewherelse' inquired as to whether my froggy avitar was in fact a tattoo that i'd had done, and it's got me thinking about it!

  i'm normally fairly opposed to body art, well for myself anyway.

  if you are going to get a tatt, i believe it should be something very personal, and very well thought out over a long period of time.

  Have you a POSITIVE JW experience??

  by ScoobySnax in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok sometimes i feel it's good to maybe not redress the balance, but at least can you say something positive that you gained from your jw experience.

  so thats what i want you to do, if you so feel inclined.

  can you say or mention something that had a positive effect on you when you were a witness?

  actually, I take that back. That's how I met my wife, and two of my kids were born while we were in. So I guess if I was never in, I wouldn't have what I have. I don't think there's a woman alive who could suffer all the shit I put her through.
