  After hearing ESPN's Chris Broussard rant against gays, I'm wondering if he's Jehovah's Witness

  this film was written by julius epstein who also wrote the script for casablanca.. if this scene doesn't grab you---you can't be grabbed!.

  you will need to magnify it to full size or you will miss the "payoff".. .

  what is the stupidest thing a jw ever told you?

  we all know that they say a lot of stupid things, but what really topped the cake?.

  for me, it was an elder telling me i was progressing really well when my meeting attendance was down and my field service hours were slipping.

  My mom told me that I have to be careful when reading the bible, because Satan might try to use it to trick me.

  Wow.

  i became inactive due to the inhumane treatment from family members who are elders.

  Another elder came and told me I'm not an apostate and no-one can judge me.

  i'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.

  bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.

  he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.

  You see him standing at the back of the hall before he goes up, puffing like a bellows and psyching himself up. Constantly exposing yourself to a stressor in that manner can't be good for you.

  You'd think someone in his position would relish being on the platform by now, or at least be so used to it that he wouldn't be so anxious about it. Maybe this is how cognitive dissonance is manifesting in him.

  The most annoying part of Terror attacks, shootings, etc.

  i am going to gripe about something that is so annoying and i know people here see it, as we all do.

  every single time a terrorist attack or a shooting takes place today.

  there is an endless amount of bull crap false stories, pictures, video clips, etc.

  been lurking here for years but finally decided to come out, at least partially.

  of all things, the post of 'bats in the belfry' re: the supposed break up of gb member geoffrey jackson and his cute (ex-?

  ) fiancee a few days ago spurred me to do so.

  L3G, I didn't see anything in that thread about a breakup, or did I just miss it? Bats in the belfry is just speculating why they aren't married yet; nothing definite about a breakup.

  This guy thinks the NWT is translated from the ORIGINAL texts. I'd like to know where these original texts are.
