Do I have to be enrolled?!!! Question

by Doubtfully Yours in

jw
friends

as you all know, i'm still a jw in 'good standing' albeit labeled 'spiritually weak' because i miss many meetings and turn in the lowest service time possible each month.

all part of the slowest 'fade' ever known.. having said that, i'm always looking for ways to minimize interaction with the jw organization.

so, my question is..... do i really have to be enrolled in the ministerial school and give parts, or can i not be enrolled and still be considered a jw in 'good standing'???.

Purple

Mmmm just questioning then what is the point in going and hanging on? Just in case???

Safe Post - The Weather & Your Personality Quiz ....

by Celtic in

jw
friends

if individuals personalities could be compared to weather systems / patterns, what kind of weather or natural event do you symbolise?

are you a tempestuous storm or a nipple, oops, i mean, ripple, on a pond?

are you a tsumini or a gentle caressing breeze?

Purple

I dunno what you would call it but i will describe it...

Imagine one of those perfect warm summer afternoons with a gentle breeze blowing where its just great to be outside enjoying yourself and you feel all happy and glad to be alive. Well anyways you get home and the sun sets and all of a sudden this strong breeze blows up and gets stronger all night till adventually by midnight its a howling gail! The rain whips at the windows, the windows shudder, the house groans all night and you dont get much sleep. When you wake up the next morning its all calm and clear and beautiful again...............

Dunno what you call it but thats what purples personality is like if you compared it to a weather system! But oh what a ride.........NIPPLE ON THE POND!!!!!!!!! Not that thread again Celtic!

What do you believe in?

by Joysome in

jw
friends

i mean when it comes to life, death, god, the universe etc.

have you gone and learned about other religions.

what do you feel is the purpose of life?

Purple

I know more what I no longer believe and maybe that might help you some as well.

I know I dont believe in the WT God anymore. I seriously doubt that one exists at all when you look around at the world and dont see much evidence at all of a loving god and so on.

I do also know that the more I think I know the less I really do know.

I have read here that some do go to other religions hoping that they will find the truth. I wonder if there really is a universal truth at all. If we are created individuals how can one belief fit everyone?? Obviously by all the different religions and ways of worshipping this something, whatever you want to name it, there is no one correct way.

Perception seems to rule how you view what you view and why you view it. Experience colours it somewhat. No one really knows until they die what the ultimate answer is. Trouble with death is that no one lives to tell the tale so we dont really know the question we should really be asking because no one knows our ultimate final fate or destination if there is really even one.

See why I reckon that its better to focus on what you know you dont believe in and go from there?

need to drop weight quick, any suggestions?

by ApagaLaLuz in

i've just been informed that i have the opportunity to go to madrid spain on february 15th.

i need to lose about 10 pounds in less than 3 weeks.

i have a bad knee and cannot hit the gym.

Purple

Well I had my stomach stapled and lost 68 kilos in about 9 months...mmmm too dratsic and not enough time????

At the end of April last year I left my husband and have dropped about 15 kilos since.

The last three weeks I have had constant diahrear (sp?) nausea and cant eat and have dropped a few moe kilo's cause I have no appetite or interest in food.

I also had a joke sent to me about a man wanting to loose weight fast so joined up this one that said loose 10 pounds in a week. He joins up and every day for one week this beautiful girl shows up on his door stop wearing nothing but a sign that says if you can catch me I am yours. Well he does and he looses the wieght. Then the next week he looses more, the girl shows up and runs longer distances. The last week is a special week and he wants to loose something like 50 pounds and the guy on the end of the phone says are you sure you want to join this one> The guy says yes of course he has lost heaps of weight, feels really fit and loves the sex. So the nest day a guy shows up at his door wearing nothing but a sign which says something like you are mine if I catch you.......... Darn I always forget the punch line!

Good luck and enjoy your trip regardless of your weight. At least you can travel here in Australia the rest of the world is so far away, takes a long time to get to and is very expensive!

God hates mankind

by shotgun in

jw
friends

what other explanation can there be?

look at how he treats us.. 1. his angel deceives eve who was still childlike( she couldn't even cloth herself properly,god provided clothing for them ) so he punishes them instead of this angel who he names satan.

2. his angellic sons come down to earth and turn the whole place into a drunken brawl so he destroyes all mankind with a flood but not the angels.

Purple

I dunno about him hating mankind but he sure enough hates me and is out to make sure my life is as miserable as sin most of the time.

Actually I seriously doubt now there is a God. I am beginning to think the bible was written by one or more people over time to control the society they ruled or cared for. The whole book is about those who stayed loyal and those who didn't and what happened to them. It tells us what we should do and shouldnt do and so on.

What gets me is the innocent children that no nothing of the bible and good and bad etc who suffer and die horrible deaths because of this so called God and his so called justice whilst horrible a**holes run freely continuly hurting people and not paying for their crimes.

There is no justice in this world, there is no fairness in this world. Why do some have so much and do nothing to deserve it, whilst others have nothing and have done nothing to deserve the circumstances in which they find themselves. There seems no order to the kaos that raigns supreme. Hell could not be worse than this life I am forced to suffer at the moment.

I've often wondered.....

by Surreptitious in

jw
friends

what if one of these jw's that we talk about working with or living next to or whatever are actually fading or even posting on this forum?

from outward appearances he/she would look like a jw and would be categorized as such.

there could easily be someone in my workplace that had been df'd from years back in another town perhaps.

Purple

Gosh these JW's are decepetive people arnt they? ALways doing the opposite of what the Borg tells them too!!! Next thing you know they'll all be disfellowshipped and out of the Borg and oh hang on Nip Tuck has just started so I've got to get my two hour feed of Julian McMahon a fellow ozzie and ohhhhh sooooooooooooooooooooooooo oh sorry what was the thread about???????????????

Women ....

by Celtic in

jw
friends

women.. they're a rummily scrumptious lot.. take breasts for example.

from a mans point of view, how much better can life be, when you got a beautiful pair of scrumptious breasts to kiss and cuddle upto.

if god was a breast, i'd love him to bits.. breasts.

Purple

Sounds like Celtic and a few others in here should get together and appreciate some of those breasts he likes to play with!

Has anyone ever invented a false pair for men that look and feel like the real things and they can take to bed and ummm "cuddle up" with? If they did I reckon they might make a fortune and rid the world of needless marriages . Ooooo did I say that?? What me said???????? Who said that??? Not me??? I dont like that Sam I am????????

Honestly my point was that there is a person attached to the breast, no matter what they look like. If they point, perk, chirp, sway, sag and point to the floor, there is a person with feelings and emotions and all no matter what they look like. With that said I will also add that when you lie on your back they all do the same thing anyway and thats collapse inwards anyway!!!!!!!!!!

So names hey??? Prescious ones?? Master????? Sassy and the nipples???????? Have to find out the story behind that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good and Bad

by Undecided in

last night i was invited to my brothers birthday party.

he turns 70 on tuesday.

we had a lot of fun.

Purple

Know how you feel undeceided. Nearly all of my mums family died before they were 60 including my mum, 52 when she died 10 years ago on Feb 10, which also happens to be my birthday! Makes you realise how precious family is, even the bad ones are still family. Makes me mad when I think I grew distant from my mum because of the troof and lost precious time because I was os busy pioneering and stuff. She died thinking I didnt love her or care.

Take care of yourself during this difficult time and be gentle on yourself!

Well yes they are wonderful things from a man's perspective anyway.

Women are so blessed with these lumps of fatty tissue that hang or perk from your chest. Its so wonderful to be completely ignored as a person and be judged by their size, to be totally discounted as a person if they are small, to be adored as an object if they are large. They hurt your back, ache for no reason, get real heavy certain times of the month, get sore as well. Low and behold if you get [pregnant you get them sucked, then mastitis (sp?), cracked nipples and so on.

Then as you get older and gravity takes hold they sag and men reject them because they are natural and sag. Then you have the absolute proviledge of buying expensive bra's shoving them into unnatural shapes and positions and paying through the nose for the privildge. Then sociaty says you cant be natural and have saggy so there is the pressure of getting implants to try to keep nature at bay.

Its so nice when you walk into a bar or a room with men knowing that you wont get anyone looking at any other features other than your boobs. You try to spend the first half of your life hiding them and the rest of your life packaging them, trying to enhance them, and then go back to hiding them when they sag.

Now most men would be horrified that I state that that is what happens but having been on the end of a decent pair for most of my life (since the age of 2) I have had 36 years of experience. Dont forget that when you look, ogle and so on, there is a person attached to them with feelings, emotions and lots of other things as well. How would like to be judged by your ummmm below "package" alone????????
