Jehovah's Witness prank -- Reno 911

by FirstInLine in

garcia and the black guy on reno 911 stopped two guys guns drawn, felony arrest procedures really aggresively and were very agitated and nervous sounding as they forced these guys to the ground reciting the apb and suspect derscription.. garcia ordered one to toss his satchel as he was on his ground.

the other guy checked it out and he said "its ok false alarm they're jehovah's witnesses, its ok false alarm.".

"ok boys sorry for the misunderstanding have a nice day.".

I've never seen this show! Maybe they should change the name of it to Garcia and 'the black guy'...

CHOCOLATE!!

by Dawn in

i need chocolate!!

ever have one of those days?

gespro

I found an article one time talking about (especially dark) chocolate having anti-depressant qualities.

Near my mother's house (6hours away, thank goodness) there is a chocolate factory and ONE time I indulged and stocked up. Yeah right, like I could save the best stuff in the freezer. I do know I was content for a few weeks the, the weight gain hit. Depressed again.

I do know that quality is the key. While I was in Holland, a housemate bought me a small bag of chocolates that blew away a years worth of Russell-Stover!

Yes or No----Do You Believe That JWs Are A Cult?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i believe they are "cultlike" but i don't think they are a "cult"........and you?

gespro

After reading more comments I am going to put yet another dictionary definition of cult:

1 : formal religious veneration : WORSHIP
2 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion

e-watchman, thoughts from past topic

by confusedjw in

i was looking back and a month ago there was a topic about e-watchman and who he was and why he would expose the wt with one side of his mouth and encourage loyalty with the other side.

i wonder if these might be the reasons.... 1. he himself claims to be of the anointed and truly believes he is helping to expose the "evil slave" amongst jehovah's people.. 2. by encouraging loyalty to the wt he doesn't scare away the numberous active witnesses who read his columns and send in questions.

they read and stay in the congregations.

Hi Confused

WOW this must be a record. Nearly 9 hours on the board and no replies!

This reminds me how some folks talked about Ray Franz. Some people think he didn't blast the WT hard enough. I'm of the thinking that more people will listen to someone talking calmly opposed to ranting. Granted, there are a lot of hurt people who have left and I think it we have to go full circle before we can listen to reasoning again. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater but anger blinds some of us and we stop listening after leaving the WT.

I have read E-Watchman and I am STILL trying to figure what to do...

just my $.02
