Silliest thing that Witnesses told you was wrong?
by gilwarrior inthere are two things.
in the early and mid 80s there were witnesses saying that the cartoon characters the smurfs were not acceptable for witnesses.
i had two smurf cartoon books and my mother made me throw them away.

What do you think would happen if aliens landed?
by Abaddon inlet's paint a little picture.. it's spring 2002. at 1200h gmt a radio and tv announcement is broadcast on almost all conventional frequencies, in appropriate formats according to the medium and the area.. it's from a bunch of pale violet humaniods who have come "in peace for all qw'z'x>kind".
they say they want to meet up with the un in full cnongress.. disbelief rapidly turns to amasement when cnn and other news-services provide footage of a large alien vessel descending into the river near the un.
large in this case means 5km long... and wisely, none of the sac jets sent to have a look pull a will smith or anything stupid, although one gets nudgeed gently away by an invisable beam of some sort when it gets too close.. let's say it becomes apparent the aliens are utter benign, happy to hand out technological aid, scientific knowledge, and hope to welcome the people of earth to your typical peaceful federation of planets (about 5,00 different species all told).. how do you think people would react?

logi's always a hoot.
Well, people's reaction would be..
Religous-Demons!!
Governments-Enemies!!
Average Joe-Fright!!
Nerd-Beam me up!Seriously, an alien race who is stupid enough to give advanced technology to THIS world must be off their rockers-yeah, let's give all the trigger-happy governments and factions weapons that could fry the earth even FASTER than a nuke would. OOOOh lord.

Questions about Athletic Activities while a JW
by AjaxMan inhi, everyone.. on my researches about the jdubs.
i read that they are restricted or forbidden from engaging in activities such as sports, working out in a gym or in martial arts.. i, who does all three, have a question for the members of this forum:.
when you were a jw, could you do any of the three activities mentioned?.
-

My father, while a little more lienent now, still forbids sports. The "bad association" clause in the contract, methinks.

Well, I have to take Stephanus' approach to it...I believe it was callous, but ignorant. They thought they were doing the right thing. It is a testament to their warped thinking, though, I agree with that.
I never speak when a tragedy occurs. I cry with the person, hold their hand, etc.
My grandfather is dying, and when I went to visit him, I just held his hand and smiled, talked just a little, but not about how sick he was. It was hard, but people in grief want to be held, not preached to.
