Are you aware that your comments have twice as many dislikes as they do likes, while Sour Grapes has far more likes than you and almost zero dislikes? Just FYI, that means a lot more people agree with Sour Grapes than you.

Are the 8 superstar Popes planning a purge?
by Sour Grapes inthere are over 8 million jdubs and i would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are pimo.
in my opinion, the kingdom hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are pimo and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service.
all it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or i will go next week, no doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone.

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?
by minimus ini remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

Here's another said a few weeks after 9/11 "well folks it looks like Armageddon has started doesn't it?"
--- That always bothered me, but for a different reason. It wasn't just the ignorance of the assumption, but the sheer narcissism of it. Horrible things like terror attacks and natural disasters wipe out thousands of lives in a single blow all over the world, but when it happens on American soil, THEN it's a sign of Armageddon? Really?

scratchme1010 (He had 13 children; to me that's the real origin of the idea of eating leaves).
I don't get it. What does the number of children he had have to do with eating leaves?

OneEyedJoe Have you asked your wife what she thinks about the two-witness rule, and how it affects children who are the victims of sexual abuse?

The increase in the Anointed Ones
by Sour Grapes into illustrate how the botchtower's groupies are losing brain cells...last year an elder told me some of the increase in the anointed is due to those who have been unfaithful and needed to be replaced.
when i was in first grade i knew that if i had 10 marbles and i lost one and a friend gave me a marble to replace the one i lost that i once again had 10 not 11 marbles.. jdubs are very good at not thinking..

What do you mean, Sour Grapes? It makes perfect sense to me. The GB is not saying there are MORE anointed now. They are not saying there will be more than 144,000. An increase in anointed DOES make sense in that, as some already anointed are being corrupted, others must be anointed to take their place.
If you had a tank full of guppies and several of them died on you, you'd scoop them out and maybe buy more guppies if you were determined to keep their population at a specific number (say 10). Five died and you replaced them, but no, you don't suddenly have 15 guppies. You only have 10.
And the thing about the anointed is, even the GB knows that there are a lot of posers and liars out there, and even some people who genuinely believe they are anointed but are simply delusional. Why do you think the anointed are never given special treatment? Not because we're not supposed to "idolize" our fellow humans or give certain people preferential treatment.
GB members, COs and even elders get the celebrity treatment ALL THE TIME, and women are practically expected to worship their husbands. The reason the anointed don't get any recognition other than as an annual statistic is because nobody truly believes a person who claims they have been anointed.And no, I don't believe in or support any of the JW's vile nonsense. I am only saying their logic on this ONE particular issue makes a modicum of sense to me. No doubt they believe more anointed are being "corrupted" by Satan because we are "SO close to the end" so naturally there have to be replacements.

I would have gladly pointed out that even Jesus fed the people he was preaching to. Actual food, i.e. loaves and fishes.

Crazy statements from JWTalk
by Jehovah lol ini'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

I haven't made a single new thread since this one, so piss off.
Wow, that was completely uncalled for. Darkspilver was not even remotely rude to you. All he did was point out a glaring truth that you so obviously lied about. Don't you go blaming him for YOUR failure to deceive.

Something closer to an actual phobia would be how I cannot go within 5 or 6 feet of an active smoke alarm. I am so afraid of them that I will NOT go near or even touch one, even to change the batteries. As long as there are batteries in it, even dead batteries, I WILL NOT GO NEAR IT. EVER. The only smoke alarm that doesn't scare me is one that is still sealed in its original package.
Same with pool drains. I will NEVER swim anywhere near one, not even if it's in the deep end and it's 12 feet below me. Nope nope nope.

Trypophobia is not an actual phobia. The American Psychiatric Association does not recognize it as legitimate, because so far not one single case has been reported of an actual fear of seeing a series of holes. There is a huge difference between being grossed out by it and being so terrified of it that it affects your ability to function normally around it. The latter is how a phobia is defined.
