We didn't really get into it in depth. I hate to argue about religion, so I would just "poke" him from time to time to see what came up. I only went to the hall with him twice, church of any kind freaks me out these days. I knew what he was telling me was most likely bullsh*t, because I had heard years before how it was, and in my experience most fundamentalist religions think the same way. I was once prevented from going on a women's religious retreat because they said my husband had to go to the men's retreat first. He would have rather be boiled in oil. I was furious that MY spirituality was being hinged on HIS. Religion at its finest...

When I first started dating him my dub boyfriend told me that women were treated as equals at the hall. Liar! Only one of many lies he told and I believed. And he always said that "liars are the worst of sinners." Ha!

Lawnmowers... what is your oppinion???
by Elsewhere init is getting close to time for me to buy a lawnmower.
when i was growing up and cutting my dad's lawn he always had a self-propelled lawnmower.
i was very lucky in that i never had to use a push-mower.

I bought an old fashioned rotary push mower at a yard sale. Usually my son mows, but sometimes I have to do it myself and I can't start the stupid gas mower. I have just a little grass, mostly trees and landscaping. It's a good workout-cheaper than the gym! I've never understood why lawn tractors have headlights. Who mows the grass in the dark?

Whats the Biggest JW contradiction?
by sleepy inwhat do you think the biggest contradiction was in jw teaching or logic?
i remember people confronted us with the argument that maybe over thousands of years the bible has changed, we would probably say any changes were minor, and we have the dead sea scrolls etc that don't vary much from the bible today.
yet when asked by people with a little knowledge about the bible why the name jehovah was not in any manuscripts of the new testament, we would effectivly says its because they have been changed over time.

The biggest contradiction is that they say they have the truth, but they consistently lie or misrepresent facts. Omission/commission. Lies are lies and they are full of them (and it).

I hate to start a new topic when I'm about to have to go back to work, but I want to know why JWs don't celebrate New Year's? Or do they? The first year I dated my dub boyfriend he took me to a (worldly) friend's house for an all out New Year's bash. We had a great time. The second year he planned an out-of-town trip for himself, but came back in time to ring in the new year and spend the night at my house. The third year he said dubs don't celebrate New Year's. Do they or don't they? Did you or didn't you?

I know I am! I'm afraid to get the internet at home because I know I won't get anything else done unless I only designate one night a week for the board! I broke the TV addiction, this one is much more interesting! I love having all the differing viewpoints. Any experience mentioned is usually shared by someone else, which is helpful. Keep comin' back.

LET US TRY AN EXQUISITE CORPSE
by Terry inamong surrealist techniques exploiting the mystique of accident was a kind of collective collage of words or images called the cadavre exquis (exquisite corpse).
based on an old parlor game, it was played by several people, each of whom would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next player for his contribution.
i will begin the story.

But wait! Everyone was standing up! Snapping out of his daydream Mookie realized that everyone was opening the song book. Suddenly a noise like a funeral dirge kicked up. Oh, was that ----"singing"??? He knew one thing for sure, the Witnesses needed to recruit a songwriter-and quick! Someone on the order of Charles Wesley, someone who could write a peppy little ditty unlike this torturous, woeful, "poor me" dreck that poured fort from the speakers! Maybe someone like...

What ANNOYS you personally?
by little1 ini read the "what offends you?
" thread, but i think i get more annoyed than offended by things.

Although I'm in a better mood today, I am still annoyed by southern people who, after you ask them a question, look at you blankly and say, "Do what now?" GRRRRR!
Drive thru people who ask "Do you want fries with that?" after I've ordered. If I wanted fries I'd have asked for them!
People who won't let you over when you're signalling.
People who saw the sign 6 miles ago that said the lane was ending, but still zoom to the very last inch of the ending lane, then try to merge-I won't let them in, even if they signal.
