Do you think people take the bible too seriously?
by dustyb ini know the bible has a lot of important lessons in it, but such a controversial book that is likely changed and such is quite a bit to live your life by.
i mean, how do you know that daniel wasn't a constant opium user?
or how do you know that the bible is complete?

Umm...yes and furthermore yes! People need to lighten up. It's only a book. Here's a great satire on the topic:
http://www.theonion.com/onion3525/fundamentalist_aesopians.html
If the link doesn't work, here's The Onion's story
Fundamentalist Aesopians Interpret Fox-Grapes Parable Literally
MONTGOMERY, AL?A controversial new bill pending before the Alabama Legislature has deeply divided the state along theological lines, sending right-wing fundamentalist Aesopians into an uproar. HR 1604, if passed, would broaden nutritional guidelines used in the state's school-lunch program, permitting a wider variety of fruits and vegetables to be served, including grapes, the consumption of which is a sin according to Aesopian doctrine.
"The state of Alabama is trying to bully us into submission," said Herman Bray, Pastor of the First Universal Church Of Aesop in Huntsville. "They're trying to rob us of our most cherished beliefs and send our children the message that grapes are acceptable for eating."
Clutching a worn, leather-bound copy of Aesop's Parables, Bray explained his congregation's strict opposition to the law.
"The Holy Writ of Aesop makes it plain that the fox, in his anger at the unreachable grapes, cursed the offending fruit and made all grapes sour forever," Bray said. "It is common sense?and a core belief of the Church Of Aesop?that this is a directive from Aesop Himself against grape consumption. Grapes are plainly exposed as a foul, sour-tasting fruit which dirties both body and soul, and this is a strict tenet of our dietary code." Alabama Aesopians are threatening to take their children out of school if the bill becomes law.
"Our beliefs and history have been laughed off by the secular media as fiction, as 'fables,'" Bray continued. "But the fox-and-the-grapes incident is not just some fantasy concocted by the Aesopian Right. Our research has determined that it most likely occurred between 605 and 602 B.C.E. in the province of Phrygia, was witnessed by a young Aesop and ultimately recorded in what became the Holy Book of Aesopians. Our church's archaeological and historical data all confirm the details recorded in the Aesop account."
The Aesopians' claims have provoked strong reaction among academics. "They think what? That this is a directive not to eat grapes?" asked Darrin Schmidt, professor of folklore and mythology at NYU. "The whole point of the story is that the grapes aren't sour at all. I think that's pretty unambiguous." Bray dismissed Schmidt's comments as "heretical anti-Aesopian hate speech."
Curtis Milner, president of the Birmingham-based Aesopian Coalition, said his organization is prepared to go all the way to the Supreme Court if Alabama passes what he calls "an openly hostile, blatantly anti-Aesopian piece of legislation."
"These lawmakers are attacking our most closely held beliefs," Milner said. "Not only is it disrespectful; it is a clear violation of the Constitution of this land."
According to Milner, the beliefs of the Aesopians are simple and direct. "We honor the courage and the noble sacrifice of Aesop, who gave His life to educate the world, not backing down even to the day of His execution by the wicked Athenian despot Peisistratus," Milner said. "That event, though tragic on the surface, was actually a day of exhilarating triumph over evil, for as a result of it, the histories painstakingly recorded by Aesop gained immortality."
"He died for us all," Milner added.

Why go through all the tax-payer expense of monitoring him for the rest of his life or however long his probationary period is? Why not just lock him up and throw away the key?

This is totally unrelated to JWism, but does anybody here watch the Sopranos? Apparently 12 million households tuned in for their season premiere last Sunday night. So what do you think? Who's getting whacked? Are Carmela and Tony really going to break up? Will Dr. Melfi and Tony finally hook-up? Is Johnny Sak going to be the new boss in NY? Is Adriana going to be able to go on as a FBI snitch for much longer?
Is Furio eventually coming back and if so is he going to whack Tony?
What do you think about the additions of Steve Buscemi and Robert Loggia to the cast? (I'm thrilled.)
Personally I thought the first episode wasn't very good. Hopefully this Sunday's episode will be a lot better.
Actually, maybe this should be under entertainment, oops!

Whats the most unhealthiest place you've ever ate at?
by dustyb inthere's this place here in town called "babe's".
its soooooooooooooooo good, but the only drawback is that the hamburger is more grease and fat than it is meat.
they'll actually take the dripping fat with the spatula and throw it back in the burger and start smashing it in.

A Wendy's restuarant in NEPA. I ate there and about five minutes later had a severe allergic reaction to something in their food -- a reaction I'd never had before. So, I figure it was just unsanitary cooking conditions that caused the reaction. Needless to say I'll never be eating there again!!!
Also when I was a teenager I worked at a high-class restuarant, formal dining, which will have to remain un-named, and they reused partially eaten bread, butter and salad dressing left over by the customers. It was quite disgusting!

Nope, I knew plenty of people who turned people in and always found those snitches to be repugnant.

Well this doesn't relate to JWism, but my ex-fiancée, who had just told me she'd been cheating on me for over a month, told me that it wasn't fair to her for me to be mad at her for cheating on me! Apparently I was supposed to be thrilled or something?!

What to do with the old publications?
by Loris ini know that this question has been asked and answered but i can not find the thread.. now that i do not have any family trapped in the cult, i do not have any interest in the seach for goofy proof to a goofy religion.
i know that their own material is the best weapon against them.
who would want a 37 year collection of books and bound volumes?

After I left the borg, I took every publication I owned, probably 50 plus bound volumes of the Watchtower and Awake, tons of Kingdom Ministries and brochures and loose magazines and at least a 100 other books, some dating well back to Rutherford's early days as WTS President and chucked them all in a dumpster. It was an emotional response to my desire to cleanse myself from all the lies of the WTS. And it felt great. Now I kind of wish I hadn't done it, not because I'd want any of those books, but because a lot of other people (apostate borg researchers) do. Maybe something constructive could have come from someone using the WTS' b.s. publications against them.
