    JWS frown on 2 door sportscars. They won't celebrate a birthday but will celebrate an anniversary. They won't eat blood sausage but will eat hot dogs and rare meat. They can't believe anyone is going to heaven----not even them!

    They treat my JW honey as a pariah for "betraying Jehovah". His crime? Marrying me. Then they treat me like the prize pig at the fair when I go to visit.

    "Momentarily" touching a woman's breast is not a disfellowshipping offense but keeping it there for more than 5 seconds is.

    OK "minimus," where's the "5 seconds rule" in their "theocratic" law books? hehe!

    - Take random numbers in the Bible and plug it into a formula to somehow get 1914.

    - Think God is against war, yet he led to Israelites to victory in the Old Testament.

    - Think the 144,000 know who they are.

    - Overuse the "faithful and discreet slave" line as an excuse that all dubs should listen to all drviel the WT society spews out.

    - Have rankings such as unbaptized publisher, publisher, and pioneer.

    - You have virtually no rights until you are baptized in their group.

    - Being baptized in another religion doesn't count.

    It's possible to give a breast a damned good squeezing/fondling in under 5 seconds - is that alright under Dub law??

    Stephanus, of the "a stopwatch is a marital aid" class.

    amway, maleluca, shaklee...Excel, it goes on and on and on.

    JWs are good targets for these multilevel thingeys because so many of them sincerely want to work for themselves so they can control their secular lives to spend more time with their familes and in field service. That is the same reason so many go into business for themselves as window cleaners, office cleaners, and window and vynyl repair people. (I know people who are or were in everyone of those businesses).

    My mom has been selling shaklee for over 15 years...but she does not make any money because she sells stuff for cost to other witnesses, and also non witnesses. They do have some good stuff, but my god it is expensive..and I dont believe any company that would not allow its products to get into the hands that really need them, the sick, the poor, but really only multi level marketers are really concerned for health as they claim to be.

    Amway IS a religion...I have known very few JWs...including myself, that could stomach it for long...they are a whole cult in of themselves...eeek! but they do have some awesome laundry detergent.

    Now, Pampered Chef is a much less evil way to make money. If any of you peeps in the Dallas area have a pampered chef party PLEASE invite me!!! I love their stuff and am an easy mark when at a party hahah.

    I am with Stephanus on this one. You can definelty get some wild, vigorous, booby fondling in before 5 seconds. I would like to know if this rule is official. If so, I have me some titty grabbing to do this Sunday!!!

    And here I thought there was nothing anybody could say to get me to go back to a meeting.

    The "instructors" were hard pressed to say EXACTLY what "momentary" was but they privately mentioned to some elders that asked about their confusion, that after a few seconds, it could be "loose conduct" that could lead to "porneia" or "fornication. So I'd recommend the 5 second rule to play it safe.

    You have to be Neutral when it comes to politics. You must "guard your thinking" so as not to take sides. This is such BS! Like people are not going to have an opinion about what is going on in their country or the rest of the world. I love getting my mom to expess an opinion about world events and national politics. When she realizes that she has "taken a side" she gets all uncomfortable.

    The other thing is their neutrality in times of war. Sure, maybe some object to killing, but how can you object to serving in the medical corps or other lifesaving services?
