I'm not sure if "nature" made mayo but I suppose she made the ingredients for it lol.
Arugula - I could eat it all day just like a bunny rabbit. With maybe a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and crusty bread for dipping.
greetings, gourmands of the forum!.
i agree with garfield, but mayo comes in a close second.
slathering my pasta with an inch of best foods real mayonnaise (hellman's, east of the rockies) is close to heaven for me.

john 1:3 states in the nwt, "all things came into existence through him, and apart from him (the word, or jesus) not even one thing came into existence.".
the wt states apart from him one thing came into existence, that is, jesus the first created being.. is there an explanation for this apparent contradiction?.
thanks!.
I always thought the second part was just a reiteration of the first part only conversely.
Whatever it means if a verse sounds like it could read two ways and one of those ways reads even a wee bit trinity-ish the WT ignores the alternatve interpretation.
has anyone had this experience.
that once some contact is made with others here they never write again?
.
I freak out about getting to close with anyone on the internet or giving away too much personal info.
It's not just an ex-jw thing either I just don't trust the internet.
perhaps the one scripture most often quoted by jws is matthew 24:14: "this good news of the kingdomwill be preached in all the inhabited earth and then the end will come.
" even after decades away from the kingdom hall, i can still rattle off that verse.
i daresay all 8-plus million "active" jws can also recite it, plus the untold millions who have left or become inactive across the decades.. it is among the top cornerstone texts used in jw communications.. but now there's a significant shift in the use of that text: jws often focused heavily on the part of the scripture about the end coming.
Maybe we are from an alternate reality where the verse ended with "...and then the end will come." But, in this new reality the the phrase "and then the end will come" never existed. Lol.
Now I think about it the alternate realities theory would explain a lot of the freaky shit that's been going on in witnessworld in the last few years.
does anybody have any word on the 2018 annual meeting?
i assume something new will be rolled out, since they are having all the congregations do special weekend streaming.. my guess is that there will be some major "new light" concerning the memorial, partaking, anointed, etc.
i would guess that they will say all baptized believers should partake.
Ok, thanks JD.
well, this month's jw broadcasting had a curious piece of history class.
samuel herd was there, but i don't remember if it was him that presented it.
the theme was "how it was to be a jw in the years 1900.".
You gotta hand it WT they sure know how to have just enough contradictory info so nobody knows what's true.
Even if photos of events are displayed the context, information, commentary, explanation and interpretation of the very same photo changes.
this is such a strange article.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2017488.
notice the parts about one won't get truth if it's spoon fed.
These bastards know exactly what they're doing.
tired of listening to your local elders giving the "special" talk ever year after the memorial?
well don't worry, as of next year we will be spicing things up for your enjoyment.. not only will we be having the talk before the memorial (i know, wild huh), but we will be treating you to the talk via video starring our famous speakers from bethel so you can see how a talk should be given (after all bethel does boast the best speakers in any country, right?!).
here's a copy of the text from our latest letter as i'm sure that with so much excitement you won't believe it at first!.
FedUpJW - I've been saying it too. Televised talks and videos hello JWTV.

John Davis - How do you know what you know did they announce it at your meeting?
revision date: 8/17.
the talk outline “jesus christ—earth’s new ruler” has been discontinued and should no longer be used.
it has been replaced by “who really is jesus christ?”note: this is the special public talk outline for 2018. the talk will be given in most congregations the week of monday, march 19, 2018.. .
Who Really Is Jesus Christ?
That will be a short talk, now how would it sound if they were being truthful...
As we are Jehovah's Witness not Jesus Witnesses we don't give a shit about who Jesus is.
We only refer to the name if we really have to in special circumstances such as a hook to lure new converts to talks or to convince outsiders we are a Christian religion.
As Jehovah's people we much prefer Moses and Abraham and if we need a quote from the Christian Greek scriptures our go-to homeboy is Paul.
Paul spoke some excellent smack useful for cults today.
