The three beers and a cake suggest birthday, but what then the acronym?

I reckon the O is Old and the B is Bugger/Bastard/Badger, something like that, but what's the E? Enclave? Ensemble?

For any that still believe in God and Jesus, what is your reasoning on this matter?

by BourneIdentity in

in the old testament, god was always full of anger and jealousy resulting in the murder of millions of people.

we’re told jesus perfectly reflects his fathers qualities.

why in the new testament does jesus show no hint of anger and jealousy and wanting to kill people?

There is no evidence that the god of the bible exists. So you believe without evidence and call this faith.

There is no knowledge about the god of the bible that does not come from other men. You either read books or listen to speakers to gain knowledge about god.

Therefore you do not have faith in god, but in men first. You have faith that what you have been told by these men is true.

This leads to a logical contradiction because the bible says: Psalm 146:3 - "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help."

To believe in god you have to have faith in the men who wrote, translated, published and interpreted the bible for you, but the bible says not to trust them. So if you believe the bible, you can't believe the bible and if you believe in god it is because of your faith in men and nothing else.

Are Witnesses advised not to get into discussion’s about evolution with HH?

by Diogenesister in

just before the last memorial, i finally had a witness call with an invite ( i say finally because i haven’t seen anyone in the d 2 d preaching work for going on 5 years!)..

i wasn’t particularly prepared ( it being early and me still in my nightie!

) but i managed to collect myself and said i didn’t think i wanted to go since i discovered the scandal around the un.....and i outlined the facts.. jw: oh no i don’t think so, where on earth did you read that?.

Believing in Evolution is what set's us apart from the animals...

At least the guy on the floor is doing something constructive. Getting some shut-eye. The poor bastards by the carts are wasting their lives away in a trap that's harder to get out of than homelessness. If they did ignore him then they, unwittingly, did him the greatest favour they could.

I had tapes of the Goons radio show. Listened to them over and over. You may hear me say "Winds light to variable" to this day...

There's nothing to watch on TV anymore ???

by RubaDub in

do you find yourself, as i sometimes do, skimming through channels on the tv remote and not finding anything interesting to watch?.

growing up, we only had four channels on our tv (nbc, cbs, abc and pbs).

and yet there always seemed to be something of interest to see.. sadly, i often find myself watching shows where some guys are auctioning off storage lockers, killing alligators, picking junk from peoples' garages or barns, catching tuna, towing cars, driving trucks on the ice, catching crabs, running pawn shops ... etc etc etc.

I have a 4 year old and just scrolling through Netflix is problematic. Either he sees a scary image, some of the zombie shows have particularly gruesome cover pics or, even worse, he sees something like Peppa Pig or Wishenpoof and we have to watch that instead of something I might like..

I've been watching a family quiz show with Dara O'Brian on BBC2 on TV recently, but after that I usually end up on the horror channel watching Star Trek re-runs or Diners Drive-ins and Dives on the Food Network. Until I get the controller taken off me and it's back to fecking kids shows again.

I remember watching the Two Ronnies or Morecombe and Wise with my whole family on a Saturday evening when I was a kid. There doesn't seem to be that sort of general appeal TV any more, it's all niche.

Demon stories

by HiddenPimo in

so as a child i was scared to death of the demons.

in fact you may remember the wt and awake loved to put stories of these attacks in the articles.

as a youth i loved to read books.

Part of my studies when leaving the JW's proved (to me) that the spirit world doesn't exist. There are no angels, demons or gods but those we make.

Killed this bastrd today in my shrubs.

You can keep a snake but they will never be a pet. Definition of pet " a domestic or tamed animal kept for companionship or pleasure." You can not tame or domesticate a snake. They will never bond. Hell they don't bond with each other. they are like sharks, they kill eat fuck and crap rinse and repeat. What you think is a pet if big enough and a constrictor will kill you if they fell the urge or if poisonous will bite you eventually. Same with all reptiles, Gators will not bond to you. If you feed them you can keep them satisfied enough they may not kill but will if the urge comes strong enough. They are not your friends.

I keep jumping spiders, an ant colony and a dog now. They all give me pleasure in different ways, watching the spiders hunt, seeing the ants digging out new chambers for the colony and the dog licking my balls when I get out the shower.

I like snakes and have kept them as pets, but I live in a country where the only venomous snake would make me feel a bit woozy. When I was a JW, a brother from Zambia was visiting and he wouldn't even enter my room with a snake in a tank in it. He was a teacher and a smart guy, but his cultural learning made him deathly afraid of all snakes, regardless, which I guess makes sense if you live in a place where you could encounter a snake which could kill you.
