the date passed by already, so i will mention the silly rumor that was going around.

this is freaking hilarious.

the rumor is a gullibility joke where it is hoped that the reader fails to remember that this holiday observance is on the fixed date of october 31st.

the biblical archeological review journal is running a caption contest.

you have to submit your idea of a snappy caption for this image:.

it's based on proverbs 26:3 which says (in case you no longer own a bible-grin):.

An Elder said: 'They're in prison for a reason'

several years ago, i was studying the bible (jw literature) with an ms from the local congregation.

i happened to mention that i had several pen pals who were incarcerated in various prisons.

no matter what crimes they committed, i said i saw them as fellow human being who deserved to have a friend to write to.

This is a severe sore point for me.

I have known so many great JW's over the years.

One of the most sincerest, dedicated, compassionate elders, whom I would be beyond to call a friend, was severely injured because of KH BS. (He was injured to the extent whereby his hemoglobin reached a staggering 2.0 - an amazing survival story.)

I, and he, belonged to old-school JW's, where you actually stood by your friends, and did terrific things for each other.

I did many, many, things for him, and I still revere his children, and his parents (who were both truly anointed - and loved me and my family, and we them).

Many on this board have mocked his grandchild and family's photo on this board at a 2014 convention.

I understand why, but I would ask, please do not mock or criticize the individual.

There are so many good hearts - but, please, mocking them will never reach those hearts.

At least you Aussies and Kiwis can rest assured that the end of the world will not eclipse you before New York time zone. Jesus (or Jehovah) be praised! (If anyone remembers the old days - Armageddon will come 6 months later in ... [insert laughter] )

A picture paints a thousand words, but ...

by Simon in

while i appreciate people like to post funny pictures from time to time i think it's sometimes gotten a little out of hand and has had a detrimental effect on some of the topics.

while many of the pictures are humerous this isn't intended to be a meme site and there's a tendency for pictures to keep pushing the line and becoming more crude, gross or shocking.. i'd like to request people think twice before posting things like this.

i'm not saying they are outright banned but please think twice before posting them - do they really futher the discussion any or do they detract from the conversation?.
