Pamela Anderson Clucks at KFC

celebrities and their issues..............arghhh.

i wonder if pam feels bad how silicone is treated on a daily basis!

imagine the poor bunnies that had to test silicone implants before they got approval to be put in pammy's body!.

I agree with you there. If you take care of people then they might be a lot nicer to animals. Most people have too many serious problems going on to concern themselves with boycotting KFC. Pam just looks like a spoiled woman, whose wealth came too easily, with nothing better to do with her spare time. We are supposed to take her seriously? Why can't she tackle something like the deplorable conditions many of the elderly live in? Maybe I'd take her seriously if she was fighting for abused children.

Low Meeting Attendance Means Wrongdoing!

by Englishman in

did anyone ever come across the idea that meeting attendances were an indication of how much spirit jehovah was giving or witholding from the congregation?.

..and that this was directly related to whether or not there was any secret wrondoing within the congregation that was "blocking the spirit" and thereby restricting the "increase"?.

just a couple of instances:.

My opinion was that the warmth and love in a congregation was more of an indicator of Jah's spirit in a cong. If you didn't see enough love amongst the members then it meant Jah's spirit wasn't there. To me anyway.

Thanks, Rocketman and hi to you, too. That was the first song I ever heard by Elton John(early 70s). I think my fave by him though is Grey Seal.

In all the congregations I attended, six to be exact, this is the way the story went:

it wasn't the wrongdoing that thwarted Jehovah's spirit. What I always heard was that if wrongdoing was going on and it was known by the elders, but ignored by the elders, then Jehovah would supposedly withdraw his spirit from the congregation. You know, kinda like that priest in the Bible that allowed his sons to commit fornication in the temple with the temple prostitutes, what was his name? The one who fell off the wall backwards and died?

Tent accomodations and 100 disfellowshippings? You know, Brits tend to have the rep, I'm sure it's undeserved, of being undersexed and boring here in the USA. I never did believe that stereotype. I really don't believe it now!

Okay, went back and fixed it. The gif worked and the bitmap didn't. It's supposed to be on a black background. Don't know what happened but you get the idea.

I had an interesting discussion with a former elder/former bethelite. I told him how the billions that are supposed to be killed at armeggedon really bothered me. I told him that I could not really accept that. He told me the same thought that if most of the population died at Armegeddon that it would make Satan appear to be the victor. He told me that Jesus' ransom sacrifice would become less valuable then. But imagine if Jesus saved most of those billions. Then his sacrifice becomes more valuable. This is what he said. I thought it a very profound and valid point. I would add to that that Jesus' sacrifice would become billions of times more valuable. I found that brother in the former Bethelite Guestbook on one of the exwitness sites early on my "apostate" journey.
