something strange happened to me yesterday on the subway coming home from work.

an awake article, the one about "the internet and pornography, who does it effect" fell right at my feet.

i looked around to see who dropped/threw it down but didn't see anyone.. my first jw-paranoia thought was that i was followed by a jw spy and they dropped it so i could see it.

now i've been around the borg for quite a long time (not recently thanks god).

but one thing i could never understand was the borg's rule for hair on men.

i think the borg's simple minds are just too limited for this world.. i only know of two brothers who i ever saw wear a beard.

we were just watching er rerun episodes back to back...after the second episode finished chachasmum and i saw an advertisement for the jws.

it started out showing a teenage girl on the computer like she was in a chat room...and it was showing her write love notes to someone whom she thought might be a teenage boy...and a voice over said something like...parents protect your children...then it showed an old, fat man with a bottle of beer, sitting back typing on the computer...then all of a sudden it said, "teach your children knowledge, wisdom and thinking ability"...it caught my ear and i looked closer at the bottom of the screen it read: christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses...and gave a 1-800 number.

looks like they are stealing the mormons' pitch.

does anyone know why the new world translation omits john 8:1-11?

john 8:1 - but jesus went to the mount of olives.

2- at daybreak, however, he again presented himself at the temple, and all the people began coming to him, and he sat down and began to teach them.
