The great crowd
by Zep injust been watching the olympics.remember the opening ceremony with all the lights and fire works and stuff.and when all the athletes finally marched into the arena, looking all triumphant and joyful.the first thing i thought of, was all those pic's in wt literature, of that multi-racial great crowd marching on up to mount of jehovah.maybe the opening ceremony is a glimpse of what armageddon is going to be like for all the wt faithful.of course, theres going to a couple billion dead bodies strewn everywhere, and lots of blood, but other than that, i think the opening ceremony captured the moment real well.too bad i aint gunna be there.
all those buzzards and vultures will be picking my carcass bare.... hey, what about the 4 by 100 mens relay for swimming.didn't the u.s. absolutely suck on that one!!!!!!!!.
who thinks marilyn jones is on drugs btw????????...ah!

Its been kind of dead around here lately
by Pathofthorns inthe way i figure it, this is a rather small group, with really a handful of posters.
probably we've all talked ourselves out, reached our own conclusions by now.. personally, i'm so tired of everything at this point.
i'm tired of looking at a million things a million different ways.

God and religion etc..............................
by Zep inthe communist world, it may be noted, has one big myth (which we call an illusion, in the vain hope that our superior judgment will make it disappear) it is the time hallowed archetypal dream of a golden age (or paradise), where everything is provided in abundance for everyone, and a great, just, and wise chief rules over a human kindergarten.
this powerful archetype in its infantile form has gripped them, but it will never disappear from the world at the mere sight of our superior points of view.
we even support it by our own childishness, for our western civilisation is in the grip of the same mythology.

100 foreskins for your daughter
by Zep inthought dating and marriage was tough in the year 2000...well just check out what david had to go through.. david wants to marry michal, sauls daughter.so whats he have to do?.
samuel 18:25-28. at that saul said: "this is what you men will say to david, "the king has delight, not in marriage money, but in a hundred foreskins of the philistines".
so david rose and struck down among the philistines two hundred men, and came bringing their foreskins and giving them in full number to the king to form a marriage alliance with the king.. lol

GTR
by Zep ini've almost finished gtr, just finished reading jw ideas on the 70yr prophecy in 'let thy kingdom come'.seriously, i read most of the 1914 stuff over at osarsif a few months back...and that was pretty good.but coj, hes blow the gentile times right out of the water, utterly destroys it.
i use to me amazed at the 7 times interpretation of jw's, it was proof to me that they had the truth or the answers as far as the bible is concerned, what a joke...unbelievable.i get the feel from reading this book that the 1914 stuff is just bound to topple in the next ten years.after reading this book (almost) its just incomprehensible to me how dubs could hold onto it.the head hunchos in brooklyn must be aware of this book, some of them must have read it?....they must be aware of how stupid their interpretions are.but then again.... i think, when they get rid of this date 1914 ....they will find it even harder to convert people, as if it isn't hard enough.1914 gives them a powerful tool, they can say 'we predicted the future' therefore we are gods chosen, its one of the things that captured my imagination when i was a kid and made me pay attention to them than i should have.....same too, with a friend of mine who has recently fallen in with them.i think its converting power is very powerful and would rank highly in the converts mind just going by personnal experience.without it they will not have the same power unless they can find a new prophecy to hold up as proof of divine approval.

Moment of Truth/ Cognitive Dissonance
by Zep inso how long have all you guyz here been apostates anyway, just curious?.i mean, it must be kind of cool to reflect and think...."well, heck, i'm a damned freaking apostate" or altleast a closet apostate, of which most of you are, i think?, right?.yeah, such a cool label is "apostate" huh!.but i'm interested, just how did all here personnally come to realise 'the truth' aint really that?, what set you on that track and made you look outside the bounds of wt literature into so-called apostate areas.. and what finally convinced you that its all just a heap of nonsense?
and forced you to shockingly conclude you had been living a lie?.what did it do to you at that moment, i mean, how did you deal with this blatant self admission that the wt was wrong?
did it crack you up or what...or did you just laugh it off or something?..
