OK, now I feel like a total idiot asking this, but what exactly does this mean: you've become a Jedi??

please forgive the poor quality of the shot.
this pic tickled my funnybone.
in case you can not see it clearly, every brother and sister around this table, bethelites all, has a toothy grin as they gleefully study the day's bible text.. i need a better caption than the one supplied.
This is a hilarious thread. Thanks for the laugh jgnat.

just rented that one last night .
this is a very cool movie with tom cruise .
personally i thought it maybe his best film yet.
Aztec,
It was definitely scary, especially the when the pre-cog Agatha started screaming. AHHH!!!! It was terrifying!
i thought it might be interesting to see how much of the worldly wisdom we have aquired .there are alot of quaint sayings that go way back in time here are some of my favorites to give an example - an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure , a bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush ,what's good for the goose is good for the gander .feel free to add your favs .

tonight is the night...i'm going to have myself a nice watchtower bonfire.
every wts pub i own is going up in smoke...one by pathetic one.
the stack of mags, the books...including my two nwts.
Gig! Don't Listen to Mackin! He's under the Devil's control! (lol, jk) If anything, send them to me. And if you don't, does someone know where I can get WT "literature"?
introducing god and satan.
do god and satan work on the same team?
are you shocked at such a suggestion?
We don't understand it, but we should trust in Him just as Job trusted God regardless of what happened to Him. He never once raised his fist against the face of God and cried out, "Why????".
Yizuman,
This is something I could never accept. If we are unable to understand God, then why should we put total faith in him? How can we be expected to blindly put faith in God when we don't understand him? It's such a stab in the dark that its pointless to try and pick from one of the hundreds of religion in existence. If God exists, he should judge people by what is in their hearts and minds, not how closely they follow some man-made religion.

Gig,
If you are going to burn them, don't. And if you can't find any use for them, I'll give you my mailing address and you can send them to me! I've been trying to get ahold of some WT pubs. I would gladly accept them!

which watchtower teachings lack logic?.
i know you're all tempted to say all of them, but some beliefs if the facts were true, would be logical.. which ones that are supposed to be a logical consequence of a true fact are in fact not logical whether the fact is true or not?.
for an example of logical belief based on untrue or unprovable fact , if god created adam and all humans came from him,(supposed fact) he could pass on defects in his genes to all humans and we could all be "imperfect".this we could call logical.. a watchtower belief that lacks logic is for example jw's who go through armageddon or die and are ressurected to earth are not perfect but still have another test to go through, yet those who die and that go to heaven are perfect straight away and require no further testing.. so which teachings are based on beliefs that are not true and which ones are just not logical?
Skeptic,
You make some excellent points. I would like to say "I especially like ........" but since they are all excellent points, I can't pick.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

what are some of the stupidest comments made in the watchtower, or by a circuit overseer or elder that you've never forgotten?
the one about" the rapist being human" too, ranks right up there....like we're supposed to feel bad for him?
" Why not believe in Jehovah? At least if he does exist you'll be saved. It's just safer."
HAHA! ridiculous
