BOC, are you saying the correct term is a "dunlapper?" His belly dun lapped over his belt? He could also be a "dickey-doo." He gut sticks out further than his dicky do.

Yes, that's it! I need to keep up with all this new "theocratic" terminology.
Meanwhile in the real world......
Snare, I hear you. While JWs do nothing, others are actively trying to make the world better.

I was in my sisters house revising for an exam one weekend, studying cardiology. On the table was a Watchtower for the sunday meeting that day. I picked it up and had a read.... it was debating why angels hadn't written any bible texts and suggested it was because of their inability to feel any human emotions. I immediately thought ..."what about their urges to have sex with women before the flood? What about their anger at jesus when he spoke to them, what about their jealousy for god's worship?" These were all things I was taught as a JW, they can't even keep up with their own b.s!
It dawned on me and I laughed to myself.....I spent 25 years debating nonsense, answering up, learning and consuming garbage! What an utter waste of time! The obvious polar opposite being the revision I was doing and the knowledge I held within the textbook in my hands.
So when I hear of JW's debating utter garbage, it makes me think of what the real world is researching and debating, it makes Watchtower appear centuries behind, because it is. JW's waited 20 years to be told new light on a definition for 'this generation'.....it becoming obvious when, once more, nothing happened based on their old predictions.
Meanwhile, the world was discovering boson's......

Ha!! I just stewed over that watchtardedness a couple of weeks ago. As if perfect angels couldn't write something that humans could understand. It led to this post:

Even here, the time people waste discussing what a verse may mean having been past on by word of mouth for centuries, copied and translated many times over.... as if there is any accuracy to it's meaning anyway, all the while they could have graduated a law degree or researched a cure for a disease...
These are all things really going on in the world, we need people with time and energy, and so much is wasted.
Part of me wonders if it is a lazy version of doing valuble work and research, pouring through Revelation as if the words still have any legitimacy in a modern english translation, instead of slogging through real research, real exams, real hard work! Anyone can read a bible verse and have a unique intepretation, so much so it won't be unique!
If they were to partake before the second wednesday in the moth of May when Freddy Franz died they might count, but not the third wednesday because we all know the Jubilee cycle would be off by a year in that case. Duh?
mankind is doomed
Great Scott!
We're doomed!
Doomed, I tell ya!
Reminds me of one of the cheerier "Kingdom Melodies" which didn't make the cut into the new songbook
Dark days are here, man lives in fear, gloom-doom-doom-doom-DOOM-doom, we're all gonna DIE
