  Goodbye JW net

  by snare&racket in

  2. friends

  forgive me for indulging in a goodbye but it would feel wrong not to,.

  i hope the discussions and atmosphere here do not change for it is a bubbling brew of doubt, bravery and sincere hunger for answers.

  these are healthy ingrediants for humans and especially for a jehovah's witness.. this forum offers not just the ability to ask without consequence, but it also offers the means to be real.

  Suggestions for car buying

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?

  top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.

  not too expensive to maintain.

  Unfortunately, it was a very uncomfortable ride for me. There was also a lot of road noise.

  Put the English word orgasm into any English to _________ translator and you will come up with an almost identical word to orgasm. I guess it must originate in latin, like most medical terms do. If you're curious, try an online translator that gives you audio of the pronunciations in other languages.

  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?

  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?

  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.

  Terry, good: the quality of editing can make or break a book.
