Sooty and Jehovah
by Duncan ina couple of years ago we took our youngest to see sooty.
anyone from the uk will instantly know who i mean sooty is a little glove-puppet bear (?
) who never speaks but has managed to turn himself, over the last 50 years or so, into a british national institution.. sooty has a couple of friends sweep the dog (always my favourite) and soo and various others who appear in his show.

HillaryStep's Disassociation Topic
by IslandWoman inhillary,.
you said: "well, you have to admit it most da letters are boring".
i know your post was a spoof but i just wanted to say that many of us who chose da did so over life and death matters; what we thought was life with god or death with the slime that led the watchtower!!.

Stuff we wouldn't do offline that we do here
by joelbear in1. argue with a six year old.. ever had a deep discussion with a six year old (or someone with a three year old's mentality)?
ever heard two six year old's arguing?.
typically it turns to name calling and "i know you are but what am i" exchanges fairly rapidly.. would we walk up to a 6 year old or a mentally challenged adult and engage in one of these ridiculous, non-productive and demoralizing exchanges?.

Jesus and giving to charity
by sleepy inwhen it was brought up in meetings or at get togethers about why we didnt do more for charity as witness the answer usually was that we should concentrate on the preaching work as it was so important we didnt have time for anything else .also there's nothing we can do for this old system why bother.. compare that to jesus who according to the society had just three and a half years to do the ministry .. what do you think of when you think of jesus .. well i think of him healing people .. did he say sorry love can't help you today , got to preach?
you know if i heal you your going to die anyway ,so why bother?.
no he felt pity for people and healed them , even though he knew they were doomed to death.. how much of the gospels is taken up by accounts of jesus charitable deeds.

An Internet Apostate
by Yadirf inan internet "apostate" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the internet.
s/he tries to start arguments and upset people.. apostates see internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game.
for some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people.

Englishman Learning English
by Englishman ini can't believe this!
what a gaping great mental hole has been sat there for the last 40-odd years.. i thought that i would have a crack at yk, you know (ha ha!
) what i mean, c'mon, yk, you ain't particularly discreet for a member of the fds, that sort of thing.. well, better check in the dictionary and see exactly what 'discreet' means.
