"Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

by stuckinarut2 in

the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?

'Blaming satan for being discouraged when the real culprit is the toxic culture of the Jehovah's Witness religion'

Hoser has beaten me to it and put it more succintly than I would. Excellent!

Are we approaching the Waco/Jonestown/Heaven's Gate finale?

by JimmyPage in

jw
friends

large groups are being gathered to video screens to blatantly worship the governing body.

this self-proclaimed faithful slave show no signs of softening their treatment of the flock.

their backs are against the wall and the legal world is turning against them in a big way.

Good OP.

I tend to agree with punkofnice. Like a nasty virus, WTS will continue to mutate and survive - all so that GB-worship and donations can continue.

Hopefully the recent and future paedo lawsuits will bleed them dry and lead to lots of JWs waking up.

Vic'n'Bob ... in the US?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i must be mad for starting this thread, but here goes: i quite like vic reeves and bob mortimer.

before you all jump on me, i realise that their humour is often childish and very hit-or-miss, to say the least.. however, when i'm in the right mood, some of their sketches are simply hilarious.. i was also wondering how british humour is received in other countries, particularly the us.. .

Thanks for all the responses. I was expecting a bit of a kicking but I think I've avoided it.

Yes, Red Dwarf and Only Fools were good.

I also like Extras by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. I love the dynamic between Andy Millman (Gervais), his incompetent agent (Merchant) and Shawn 'Barry from East Enders' Williamson. Millman's the only one who calls him Shawn.

Exerps, Conversation/Debate with a close old friend still in the Borg. Comments please!

by dark angle in

part 1. .

she was suspecting me that i'm no longer interested in the borg, and she was trying to get a confession.

this is how our conversation went out.

LoveUniHateExams

'who am I? Im just an ordinary human...' and 'I have to be honest, you make my hair stand on end by your thinking'

So sad.

God or no God, we have to rely on our own thinking - if we don't, we're screwed.

If I left everything to Jehovah ... nothing would get done!

'How to suck at your religion' - don't die for it, don't kill for it.

Hang on, that's not such a bad idea ...

'I don't think some of their hunour would translate too well in the US' - I think you may be right there, cantleave.

Bob (to Larry Hagman): at this point, Larry, are you beginning to think you may sack your agent?

Larry: yes.

Bob: yes?

Larry: yes. I've done some loony shows but this is certainly the one!
