so i go to the trader joes the other day and notice a really attractive .
woman in produce, but i can't place her....so i follow her over to the bread aisle, and got a better view of her face....but still could not figure out where i knew her from....so i finally said "excuse me, but you look so familiar, i almost know we have met before.
she looks me right in the eyes and says, (without smiling) "'i'm pretty sure you're the father of one of my kids.
Okay, priest, you must have a different sheet than I have.
A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!"
The doctor replied, "I know you can't ----- I've cut off your arms!"
Okay, Oompa, you can jump in anytime.

An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at.

Thanks, Oompa, that was funny, although I have to admit I heard it last week.
Here's another one....a jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything".
well, tuseday night was a scary night.
the f4 tornado tore through my little town killing 8 people.
i am so sad over this.. luckily, my house is ok but it passed only about 1/4 mile or less away from me.
I have never seen a tornado up close, but last night, I dreamt of one, and it was one of my scariest dreams!
I hope I never have a true experience.
So sorry to hear about your neighbors. I am happy to hear you made it through okay, though.

what do you reckon?
lots of talk about the possibility in the last year or so.
is it a matter of when rather than if at this point?
I think a good sign for the "end of this system" is California handing out iou's instead of tax refunds. If this catches on, we are in big trouble.
It'll be the crash of '09, and it will be bigger than the '29 one.

i found something at the flea market today...two, not bound volumes...but individual magazines (watchtower and awake for the year 1974) each in a blue bundling folder.
the folders have "watchtower" and "awake" embossed on the front and in gold lettering on the spine with "watch tower bible & tract society" at the bottom of the spine.
who ever put these together, however, put the entire year of awake!
If you are into looking for old W.T. books, I find a lot of them in used book stores.
I found the "Salvation" book in one. The gem in that one are the pages on Beth-Sarim and the Princes of Old.
Hubert
how many are there?.
what are the titles?.
are any of the ideas promoted in these books still used as basic or current doctrine?.
vm44 said.......Look at JR's rainbow and ask which book is missing?
The wizard of Oz.......or was that a movie? Somewhere , over the rainbow .....

thought i would properly introduce myself, being that i have posted here about 6 or 7 times since march of 2008. i do not want to create any sense of insecurity among the guests.. my name is truth and justice.
i have been reading this website since march of 2008 with great interest.
many times i have wanted to write and kept putting it off, because i just did not know how to put my thoughts on paper, especially when millions of people will read what i have written.
Welcome to the forum, TJ.
Your post was well written, and your love for your family/sister is more important than the false teachings of the Watchtower.
Although it hurts, you chose your sister over these falsehoods. I hope more of your family wake up in time.
How does your sister feel about your sticking up for her? Maybe it will help her to find her way out, too.

Okay, seeing we now have "proof" of them being directed by the holy spirit in 1990 and 2001, and I've heard they say they are NOT spirit directed now.........?
Does anyone have the quotes saying this, and can you give us the references here so we have it all all on the same page from both sides of their mouths?
I'll let you know if I find both statements on the cd library.
Thanks.
Hubert
i have not posted very often but, i do read the posts all the time.
my hubby was not a jw when we got married.
it has been 9 years of the borg.
Check out the similarities with the Mormon cult. There are many. Maybe you can both agree on researching the Mormons, and he may see these.
Make a chart and compare one to the other. Add a few others in there too, like Catholic and Methodist, so he won't think you are just picking on the J.W. cult.
