I can't find a reference to a poo-poo in the watchtower CD library.
But Popo is the Popocatépetl volcano, in Mexico which is about ready to erupt. The irony!! Better not touch it! LOL
on the night before my wedding, my mom came into my room with the talk.
she said she knew i probably knew all about the wedding night, but did i have any questions?
she then told me to remember one thing tho...that you aren't to touch it.

What type of wedding animal are you?
A dog because you touched it on the honeymoon night?
A chicken, because you touched it after the honeymoon night?
No, a rat because you touched it the night before! :-))
Congratulations, when ever it was.
good news... good news!!!.
i got a phone call a short time ago and it's official... i got a new contract job!
granted... it's not a perm position like i had before... but it'll pay the bills!
Congrats!!
Contracting is the way to go. I've been doing it for 3 years now. Get bored, move on, if your good, name your price. No hangups about company policy, long term commitments, dead end roles, personality clashes. I feel for these poor employees. :-)
I tilt my Tennants Extra can at you Elsewhere.
if the average congregation has about 83 publishers in the us, then the organization may be sinking into a crisis.. take that 83 and consider that half the congregations may have less.. take away '15 minute publishers' who don't attend.
take away completely fake publishers who rarely attend.
take away increasingly tired publishers who 'feel sick', are depressed, or just want to stay at home and watch tv.. .
Maybe in the past walking 10 miles in a jungle and crossing mud pools filled with crocodiles was fun,
You gotta point there GMFH.
Years ago people did not understand the world they lived in. Why diseases killed, why there were droughts, food shortages etc, the only constant was the sun rising every morning. Today we know about viruses, bacteria and have antibiotics, we understand weather patterns, El Nino and have pesticides and much, much more; the street lights now block out the once revered constellations, who needs religion to explain what we know as fact. There are grey areas but religion comes with baggage, creation, sin, obligations and responsibility etc.
The need for religion has gone by and large and hopefully the end of mind controlling totalitarian cults. We should be so lucky!

I must admit I saw that coming........I was at register six
ok, i've done the beer survey, now its the mixed drinks survey.. i personally like the 4 horseman (1/4 jack 1/4 rum 151, 1/4 everclear, and 1/4 tequila).
it'll put you on your ass quick.
i also like a good bull buster (yager w/ red bull).
When we were skint at college we needed a drink that would get the results really quickly. We drank what's called a "Dogs Nose". A pint of bitter, sup the top off and put a double gin in it. Geez, 2 of them and your seeing double.
These days we are far more civilized, we drink what we call "Hilda Ogdens" (Coronation Street). It's really a Brandy Alexandra. Brandy, fresh cream and a splash of ameretto. Too decadent!
i know so many jws that love to think satan and his demons are after them.
if they were being "persecuted", it was because of the devil and his demons.
if they got an ache or pain, it was because satan was trying to "discourage" them.......did you think the demons were trying to get you, too?
To be honest when I was in the Org, having Jehovah and angels around didn't do me much good, so having left and replacing them with Satan and his demons I feel a lot better - in mind and spirit. No contest really.
all, with the crappy weather this evening i hope you all made it home ok.
i've just crawled home along the m4 on sheet ice for 4 hours and made it eventually.
hope everyone else was as lucky as i was.
Here in Birmingham the roads were a sheet of ice, the rain washing the salt away then tempretures plunging, it all froze solid. I left work at 5.30, to drive the 4 miles home. It took 3 hours. It was all gridlocked. Some people here didn't get home from work until the early hours of the morning.
whale explodes in taiwanese city
a dead sperm whale has exploded while being delivered to a research centre near the southwestern city of tainan.
passers-by and cars were soaked in blood and body parts were sprayed over a road after the bursting of the whale, which was being carried on a trailer.
Well it was a sperm whale.
when i was a kid i was scared shitless of demons.
a couple of years ago i posted this subject, and some asswipes just suggested that i was just a scared little boy and that i should have just kept a stiff upper lip.. i was raised in this crappy religion and i recall that from the very beginning, i was told that demons were always around me.
i remember as a young child, i was told of stories of children that would go to bed and feel the edge of their bed go down slowly as a demon sat on the edge of the bed, ready to do whatever eveil they had planned for the evening.
When I was growing up in the 70's the demonic theme seemed to be thriving and I was scared witless. I too have felt demons at the end of the bed, watching, taunting. There always seemed to be a experience in the congregation about someone who come into contact, while witnessing, with someone who had demons helping them or that they belonged to a coven or some such. Or the story of buying something secondhand and it bringing demons into the house, they figure out what it is and take it out of the house and try to burn it but it won't burn, or ir screams as it is burning. Dangerous and harmful stories to children.
But looking back from the safety of adulthood and being out of the faith for 20yrs and I agree with Sirona, you make your own demons. The whole thing is a ruse to keep you scared and too terrified to step outside the Org. In my case it was all in my own head brought on by Witness urban myths and a wild imagination. Nothing scares you more than yourself. The fear of something is always more scarey than the reality (I my experience).
