Unclean and Hated Bird
by bowels in

when studying the various books we have over the years about revelation, i always liked the part about the "unclean and hated bird" (especially when i was a kid).. i always wondered what type of bird it was referring to.

what birds do i really hate?

i'm not sure i hate any but i certainly don't like pigeons.

do beer commercials cross the line?

i was hoping to enjoy the championship game between the eagles and the bucs.. but no more than 5 or 10 minutes into the game, a budweiser ad comes on that uses a very obvious double entendre (a conversation between a man and woman that revolves around the very large sweatshirt she is wearing.

she makes comments like, "small ones are ok, but big ones just feel better.

" the commercial closes with her remarking about his "small hands".).

More JW guys date 'Worldly' girls than....

...than jw girls do 'worldly' guys?

you would think so from the posts here.. how many posts have we seen here about jw guys who are dating non-jw chicks undercover (no pun)?

or is it just that jw girls are likely to be living at home and less likely to have a chance to date a worldly guy, because of the tight grip that jw parents have over their girls?.

Meat on Friday
by bowels in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
having grown up a loyal little dub, i vaguely remember the time growing up (maybe 60's or 70's) that the catholics changed the rules that allowed them to eat meat on friday (i take this issue personally because in my school they always fed us the most horrible tasting tuna every friday).

i remember how my parents laughed at them and said "how are all those people that they believe are in hell going to feel now?".

my question is, for those who were catholics at that time, how was that handled for public relations purposes?
