  how do you think they lived with themselves?.

  how do you think that the israelite soldiers that were ordered by king david to take uriah to the front lines and then retreat behind him so the enemy could slaughter him live after that event?

  were they okay and at peace?.

  Whether in the 1980's or 3,000 years before that, surrendering your conscience to a religion has resulted in many the atrocity.

  Old Magazine, New Perspective

  going through old junk and came across a 22 year old study watchtower, february 1996. looking at all my underlining and marking it was just nauseating how meaningless it all was.

  this "study" wasn't study at all, just a by rote exercise, an old jw custom one of the primary motivations of which is to stop others from judging you as "weak" if they don't see it all desecrated, which must surely indicate a vigorous study session.

  moving on to other articles i was confronted with more evidence of a cult that i was blind to the first time around, including an article praising those who died for refusing blood such as a pregnant mother and a boy pictured here.. .

  Going through old junk and came across a 22 year old study Watchtower, February 1996. Looking at all my underlining and marking it was just nauseating how meaningless it all was. This "study" wasn't study at all, just a by rote exercise, an old JW custom one of the primary motivations of which is to stop others from judging you as "weak" if they don't see it all desecrated, which must surely indicate a vigorous study session. Moving on to other articles I was confronted with more evidence of a cult that I was blind to the first time around, including an article praising those who died for refusing blood such as a pregnant mother and a boy pictured here.

  

  Then there was the article doing damage control from bad press and doubts:

  earnest prayer to Jehovah is the first step . . . do not hesitate to ask for help from loving overseers . . . They will help you trace the source of your doubts, which may be due to pride or some wrong thinking . . . Has the reading or listening to apostate ideas or worldly philosophy introduced poisonous doubts? . . . those who have become victims of apostasy got started . . . by first complaining about how they felt they were being treated . . . act quickly to rout out of the mind any tendency to complain, to be dissatisfied with the way things are done . . . Loyally imitate Peter, who resolutely stated 'Lord, whom shall we go away to?

  Then there was a life story of a Hector R. Priest, ironically called "My Lifelong Hope - Never to Die", which concludes by saying:

  My burning desire is to live to see Jehovah's name cleared of all reproach. Will I realize my lifelong hope of never dying? That, of course, remains to be seen.

  Considering he would be 107 years by now, I guess we all know how that worked for him.

  JW-RUSSIA.org cross image

  by neat blue dog in

  2. beliefs

  i was just browsing the russian jw site and saw this image that appears to represent christian persecution by showing handcuffs in front of prison bars that appear to form a cross.

  which would be weird because they don't even believe in the cross, or maybe it was clip art from another source and they didn't notice.

  or last and most likely i'm seeing things that aren't there 😜.

  Well not unless she's tap dancing on your lap.

  two weeks ago mrs. add and myself was driving home from shopping on a side street when we came upon a man laying on his back with his arms spread out in a t formation.

  with no one in site we pulled over our van to help this person.

  mrs.add went for her phone to call 911 and i got out of the van to see what i could do.

  Glad to hear you cooperated with the police until they sorted everything out and released you. That's better than doing what some do: Not obeying the officer to show their hands, running away, etc. And then being held up as a victim when the officers do what they have to do for their own and others' safety.

  i'll leave the lap-dancing comment on page 25, par.

  Regarding lap dancing, Bro. Breaux already covered this in detail:

  'A woman grinds her clothed genitals against a man's leg. He gets an erection, but doesn't ejaculate. Is this pornea?'

  You got my mouth fluids going, if I don't eat soon I might get tongue cancer lol. Anyways I love many many types of pizza, but I'd say my favorite topping are, in order of their appeal, cheese, tomato sauce, olives and fried breaded eggplant.
