  favourite words...in any language

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean " courting" certainley sounds more dignified than " hanging out with a new squeeze".

  " comely" is a word i think should be used more often".

  i am going to try and use " jabberwockey" in a sentece today.. anyway do you have any favourite words, in any language?.

  I'm trying to remember correctly, but I think the word orgasm is the same in many languages.

  Do you ever wonder if people who speak other languages than English find English words like booger or fart funny?

  This is a CASTING CALL . . . for a scene in my book

  by Terry in

  2. friends

  attention!.

  i'm in my final re-write of the monorails of mars novel.. as you may know, the book is a sci-fi allegory concerning mind control by the watch tower.. .

  i have a scene in nikola tesla's laboratory in which he is about to attempt an exchange between mars and earth.. the volunteers--instead of actually traveling physically from one planet to the other will instead swap minds.. need i say--it will go wrong?!.

  My first college composition teacher told us to use as few words to convey a point as possible. I had a tough time reading Ray Franz because he expressed the same point, different ways, in every paragraph. I realized then why some of the society's books were unreadable.

  I've noticed that celebrities sometimes do not allow their books to be edited. I guess it's an ego thing.

  If you were God, how would you rule?

  by What is Truth? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  welcome, to anyone up for a thought experiment and some fun with your inner god complex.

  i was inspired with this question while at 7/6/14 watchtower study.

  the question is.. if you were to be made god how would interact with your creations?

  Put a lot of thought into your every decision humans, because if you hurt the environment or any of the other creatures, including other humans, I've got this other planet I'm going to zap you to, called Earth, where they do whatever the hell they want.

  Couldn't stomach the entire article, but did read some.

  This new approach blew in from America, and is based on communicating how the Bible can help people deal with daily issues, such as stress.

  "Stress has become a problem in your life? Just wait until Jehovah has several billion of your fellow humans, and possibly you, rubbed out."

  "That sounds pretty stressful."

  Something I need to clear up about the bible - It is not a BRONZE AGE BOOK!

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let's be technical.

  the bronze age ended in 1200 bce in devoloped places and later ... aroun 900-800 in other places.

  indeed read 1 samuel 13's ending.. the bible was produced not one tiny bit in the bronze age.

  Call them common origin stories. Babylonions are the source for violent gods and scary stories.

  The INTJ Personality Type, (and those close to it)

  by done4good in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am compelled to write a bit about this at this late hour here in the us, because it is keeping me up.. the recent four year old thread on the briggs myers personality type test that was dug up, produced an interesting finding.

  many here, (at least tested informally for), the intj personality type.

  intjs also do not understand irrational behavior particularly well at all.. why does this matter?

  Also, the type change can have to do with whether you are depressed when you take the test.
