i was looking at the jw list that nikl posted and i came across this: .
read the bible in one year.
the guy broke it down day by day.
one sister did it, but she is also out of the borg now
I wonder what percentage who actually READ the bible end up leaveing the borg? I know that everyone in SAYS that they read it 24/7 hell thats all they do! I just have to wonder, now that I think about it I never really got the impression that they ACTUALLY wanted me to read it from cover to cover! They SAID they did but they really only wanted you to read about 50-75 scriptures over and over and over!

blood substitute vexes jehovah's witnesses.
I'm really hoping that this issue will be one of the big straws on my wife's camels back! she's old old school on this issue and I can't wait till she see's this $hit!
are they kidding?.
we gotta sit through this again?.
isaiah's prophecy and daniels book has to be the most "blow smoke up their ass book there is"!
I'm personaly glad I've planted a few seeds hopefully sitting through this crap and hearing it first hand will make them grow!

i dont fully understand what the big deal is as to why you cant leave the conventions to go eat.i use to have fun working in the food department when i was younger.you could miss most of the days talks if you stuck around for cleanup.. i helped build the assembly hall here in st>louis.i was thrilled when they installed an ice cream area.that was the best job to have and we used to request that duty months in advance.
(all the ice cream you could eat)then when they went to the free food oh boy did i pig out.dad always put a hundred or so in the kitty and i guess that more than covered the soy bean burgers,burritos and fruit bags that we ate.. but now there is strong admonition to not leave the building for food as well as to stay away from vendors around district assemblies.the only reason for this that i can think of is that they dont want anyone leaving the assembly and not returning for the afternoon session after a tasty lunch and good conversation with your friends.. of course if a lot of people didnt return from lunch they wouldnt be there to give contributions.thats the only reason i can come up with.what do you guys and gals think?
The last assembly I went to before I left home (not the borg I was in for another 10 years...) We left right after the first prayer and went back to the hotel to swim in the pool and flirt with the worldly girls... went back for lunch then gone right after next prayer... did this everyday for the entire assembly...
Now here 's the hoot the four brothers that did it with us WERE ALL IN BETHEL hahahahaha

So sad that he died, he was one of my favorite writers.... Anyone here read the "Salmon of doubt?" It's a series of Essays that were complied after his death it actually helped me a lot as I was leaving the borg...
very very good read
which one would you choose to keep if you had to get rid of one?.
hmmm, think about it first (life without little britian & 3 none blondes, does that sound appealing to you?).
brummie
Since I have high speed internet I get cable for free... well you do have to know how to open the box... but ya know!
find one really bad, depressing issue in the world.
take this negative news item and blow it out of proportion.
make it seem like there's no hope (true in some instances).
On another occasion the title said something about "Homosexual Clergy " , the man I spoke to threw me out, I guess he thought I was one of them .
Were you?
i was looking at the jw list that nikl posted and i came across this: .
read the bible in one year.
the guy broke it down day by day.
I actually read it cover to cover through these little programs about 6 times
The last time was right before I signed off for good. About half way through I stopped and was just thinking all I'm doing is speed reading 3-5 chapters a day... I don't even THINK about what I'm reading I'm just burning hours... whats the point?
I'm getting ready to start again and this time I'm going to read it slow and MEDITATE on what its saying! (fyi I don't think that it's the word of god but I think that with so many BELIEVING that it is we should be well "versed" in it :-)
so i had never had cable or sat until this fall when i bought dish to watch my red sox, rather than to just listen on the porch with my trusty radio.. well now my son and i are hooked on these weird shows, reno 911!
and mxc.
does anyone else watch them or have i sunk to depths that are unspeakable?
You know something AWESOME there are NO prizes on MXC! You think these guys would win SOMETHING right? Wrong all they get is a trip to the hospital!!!! LOL
(I just found that out yesterday they were talking about this show on red light/green light)
