Wallflower comes from a combination of too much beer and a stupid joke I was told the day I joined the forum.

(No offense to Native Americans)

A liittle red indian boy asks his father where the names of his brothers and sisters come from. His father says "When your eldest brother was born, I was so happy I rushed out of the teepee. I was singing and dancing with joy and the first thing I saw was an eagle, gliding high in the sky. It was so beautiful, I called your brother Soaring Eagle."

"What about my sister, father." the little boy asked.

"When your sister was born I again was overcome with joy and burst out of the teepee singing and dancing. The first thing I saw was a deer frollicking. So I called your sister Dancing Deer, because it was the first thing I saw."

The chief smiled and looked down lovingly at his son and said "You understand now Heep Big Buffalo Turd?"

The first thing I saw out the window was a Wallfower.

Question on Watchtower Images of Destruction

by hawkaw in

friends

someone posted a lot of pictures of destruction from watchtower magazines.. usually i can find just about anything.

like i know randy has a few pics at his freeminds.org site.

but i can't locate the thread on this db that had just a ton of cool pictures.. can anyone help by either linking me to the thread or posting some of those scanned pictures of planes flying into the wt center or the un building blowing up etc.. there is a very sneaky reason why i am asking for some help.. hawk.

What's the chances of some Al Qaeda guy, sitting on the lavatory in the old Taliban Afghanistan, looking at the pictures on a Christian infidel magazine, ripped up to be used for toilet paper. He sees one of the pictures mentioned above, he jumps to his feet and rushes to find his leader shouting "Osama, Osama I have a really good idea!!"

Jehover - How many of you heard it pronounced that way?

by Elsewhere in

jw
friends

it seemed like every kh had at least one?

someone who pronounced jehovah as jehover.

did you hear this at your kh.

Wallflower

Most KHs had some kind of pyramid selling going on, eg Shakley. Was there ever a vacuum cleaner scam going, hence Jehoover?

I need references about flag saluting and military service

by rekless in

i remember some statement in the late 1950s about not dfing a person that joined the armed forces because it could be viewed as an act of treason.

they will be treated as dfd but not publicly reproved.

i threw away all my wt books when i dad myself 3 years ago.

Wallflower

But as hawkaw keeps pointing out, the WTS "associated" with the UN, it did not "join."

"Bad associations spoil useful habits"

That's why I don't go to meetings.

Org not singing Princes praises

by Wallflower in

i found this quote from an article in the awake 1992, entitled "the dangers of entertainment".

but as the rapper ice-t reportedly admitted, he puts shocking lyrics in his songs just to earn such a label; it guarantees luring the curious.

the rock star prince sang the praises of brother-sister incest.

The rock star Prince sang the praises of brother-sister incest. Often, music videos simply give such crass immorality an added visual dimension. Pop star Madonna?s video Justify My Love won notoriety for portraying sadomasochism and homosexual activity.

A few questions spring to mind:

How can the Org condone the conversion of someone they have already condemned in their publications?

Do the Org have any rules about recruiting perverts? (It's in the Awake so it must be true )

If this is the trend, what congregations are Ice-T and Modonna currently attending?

Any comments?

Diabetes

by CountryGuy in

there are two diseases that seem to "run" in my family: cancer and diabetes.

this morning my doctor told me that i now have diabetes.

this really isn't a surprise to me, i've been waiting for the shoe to drop so to speak.

Wallflower

Been diagnosed a diabetic 18 months ago aged 37. No history of it in my family and I am not overweight. They put me on Metformin and Gliclazide to control blood sugar. It takes over your life.

Shamus, the idea that food and diadetes can effect your moods and cause an episode of depression is new to me. I have always assumed that the pills they gave me caused my mood swings etc. Have you got any info on this? Is there anything specific you do to halt this?
