  One thing over the years that I have noticed about Jehovah's Witnesses is that they LOVE to drink, especially Bethelites....Have you too noticed this? And why do you think this might be the case?

  Hey,

  I started drinking since I was born. Is that bad?

  I had to since I had no teeth.

  Well its one of their only pleasures in life, they can't do much else without someone snitching on them...

  Seems to me that to put up with a religion like JW you would have to drink to put up with non-sense! No offense, that's simply my point of view.

  One of the elders I liked the most...yes contradiction...I know...but he had a tap that came out of the wall in the den where I watched many a Cowboy's game....The spiritual food was kept cool in the basement....in a refridgerator he gave to me many years later when I was very poor and not a JW....just too bad he had to be an elder...such a fine example...tsk tsk...

  Sincerely,

  The brother I supposedly "studied" with when i was seventeen took me up the pub instead. He was very weak spiritually, of course. Built his own multi-million pound company from scratch. Had a big house and a nice car.

  Bad influence all around. No wonder I left the Truth.

  Thank God.

  Define "drinker."

  btw... Zee? If I had ever known a bookstudy conductor like the one you talked about... I'd prolly still be a Dub.

  I refer to "drinker" as a person that loves to drink and probably does it more than he or she is "supposed" to.
