I love the Watchtower gladly tells us what the Bible MEANS when they didn't even freaking write it.
Write it? Those mother F*ckers haven't even READ it!!!!

Can't deal with Reno 911 just not my style! I used to watch MXC but it gets very repetitive... My fav's are the cartoons on adult swim on cartoon network Sun-Thursday nights starting at 11 pm Futurama, Aqua team, Sea lab 2021 and Venture bros are AWESOME (the JW fishman on Venture is great)

Kingdom Hall for sale on Ebay
by nicolaou in.
of course, they say it's because they've outgrown the hall but that isn't what this years report indicates is it?

Hey!
An interesting way to anti-witness on Ebay! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3133&item=5544886697&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
Englishman.
Yeah its a great way to anti-witness! It lets all the witnesses look at that and say "well that just proves the WBTS is correct and all apostates are F*CKING INSANE! Guess I won't listen to them" Thanks so much for helping us serious apostates get our family out! Big thumbs up!! As to the no windows the mandate to the building commitee's has been no windows for years now! I'll bet they really are needing a bigger hall too! They aren't getting much growth but all the witnesses are getting older so there is LOTS of growth in the warmer areas! In florida they just started a new circuit but I'll bet the average age is 45 statewide! Take kids under 18 out of the equasion and I'll bet it jumps to 65 or more! Last time I went back to upstate NY the old hall (I think our peak was in mid 80's at 112 pubs) now has about 40 total, most are old, all are broke weak economy combined with no savings and no education... Everyone was threadbare, the entire back of the hall was empty... No one was paying attention, one of the elders got up and literaly read an entire article out of better homes and gardens for a service meeting part... (they happened to mention the witnesses in it) it was actually kind of heartbreaking... these people are just so lost...

It's cases like this that make me support the death penalty...
by Elsewhere inhttp://www.cnn.com/2004/law/12/20/missouri.fetus/index.html woman accused of stealing baby appears in court
lisa montgomery charged with kidnapping resulting in death
kansas city, kansas (cnn) -- lisa montgomery, accused of strangling a 23-year-old missouri woman and cutting the fetus out of her womb, sat motionless monday as a judge read the charge against her in u.s. district court.

I know that people who are against the death penatly will say "this woman could be cured" but 1) why the heck should we bother 2) why would she want to be cured? would YOU want to be sane and live with the knowledge that you had STRANGLED someone then GUTTED THEM and CUT OUT THEIR BABY!
Not me!!! Let me die crazy!

That vacant stare is a specialty of the elders in JC's! I used to think thats how they fished for info since it makes people bable to fill the void... then I realized they were just stupid...

I HATE it when people get right in your face while talking!!!! Like you can't hear them if they are more than a foot away! I have a witness friend who feels like if his chest isnt' touching yours then you can't hear him! I sometimes have a real desire to punch him (for real) or at least push him back I'll step back and he'll get the message then as he's talking he gets excited again and steps in again! makes me CRAZY! One day I'm gonna poke him in the eye three stooges style I swear to god!
Also if your talking in a group and someone is standing right behind you! There are very few people I trust 6 inches from my back!

The Global Flood
by coldfish ini've just read an intersting article on the flood to do with dates and whether is was truly global or a regional flood.. http://www.commentarypress.com/essay-flood.html.
my father used to be an elder for many years and the flood was one of the things that made him walk away not just from the jw but also belief in the bible.
he was hung up on issues like the flood taking place about 3500 bc and how that fit in with the pyramids.. i don't know much about egyptian history or the ages of the big pyramids, but his reasoning was if the flood wiped out every human on earth except noah etc then at 3500 bc there were only 8 people on earth.

Well yes the bible is just flat wrong on this one (like so much else) as to the dates on the pyramids they know almost exactly when they were built! Conspiracy theories and alien help are really just foolishness the simplist answer is almost always the truth...
MARK LEHNER, Archaeologist, Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, and Harvard Semitic Museum-LEHNER: It's not a direct approach. There are people coming from a New Age perspective who want the pyramids to be very old, much older than Egyptologists are willing to agree. There are people who want them to be built by extraterrestrials, or inspired by extraterrestrials, or built by a lost civilization whose records are otherwise unknown to us. And similar ideas are said about the Sphinx.---
---So you see the pyramids are very human monuments. And the evidence of the people who built them, their material culture is embedded right into the very fabric of the pyramids. And I think I could take just about any interested person and show them this kind of material embedded in the pyramids as well as tool marks in the stones and say, hey, folks, these weren't lasers. These were chisels and hammers and you know, people who were really out there.---
---It's a good question. If they were there, you see -- civilizations don't disappear without a trace. If archaeologists can go out and dig up a campsite of hunters and gatherers that was occupied 15,000 years ago, there's no way there could have been a complex civilization at a place like Giza or anywhere in the Nile Valley and they didn't leave a trace, because people eat, people poop, people leave their garbage around, and they leave their traces, they leave the traces of humanity.---
---Now the point is this. That it's not just this crevice or that nook and cranny or that deposit underneath this temple, but all over Giza, you find this kind of material. And as I say in looking for our carbon-14 samples, climbing in the pyramids you find the same material embedded in the very fabric of the pyramids, in the mortar bonding the stones together. So back to the question, is there an earlier civilization? Well, as I say to New Age critics, show me one pot shard of that earlier civilization. Because the only way they could have existed is if they actually got out with whisk brooms, scoop shovels and little spoons and cleared out every single trace of their daily lives, their utensils, their pottery, their wood, their tools and so on, and that's just totally improbable. Well, it's not impossible, but it has a very, very low level of probability, that there was an older civilization there.
CASE CLOSED MOVE ON

Now as to coldfish's question there is no way in the world that the flood could have happened when and how the bible says it's flat impossible... unless the women were having litters! Complete bull $hit!

Comparing molested children to prostitutes.
by avishai inhere is an excerpt from the "beware the voice of strangers" talk from the 2003 district convention.
this part is obviously referring to the "dateline" special.
notice how they subtly compare the victims with prostitution and insinuate that they are immoral?

Well it certainly proves to me that these MF's aren't gods choosen ANYTHING! I certainly don't condone or excuse it! But I suspect all religions suffer from this to one degree or another!
