  Paul said to reprove the sinner "before all onlookers"

  now the Borg claims he meant only those who know about the sin. They have to give a local needs talk after a DF on the sin committed, no names mentioned, so everybody knows anyway- but mustn't talk about it, such things don't go on among Jehoobie's happified people.

  Yet they condemned the Catholics for the unscriptural practice of excommunication.

  Look at the crotch of the "sister" beating her bongos - is this a shemale?

  As for the guy watching TV - how do you know he isn't watching rubberface in the baggy pants, wishing he had hands just as big for bongo beating.

  Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

  by 3rdgen in

  a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

  break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

  the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

  I remember the one or two going outside for a smoke in the early 70s before the 73 Witchtower that banned it as spiritism.

  One morning a passerby asked the sister smoking why she was doing it? She replied: "Would YOU smoke inside your church?". That brings back a whole load of sad memories... and teary eyed thoughts. People you cared about who are dead, without getting the promises, ruined lives.

  As Scarlett O'Hara said " Don't look back. " Sorry - off topic.

  TINKER: Ah, intercourse - My Dad had a restaurant, and the waiters always loved asking the clients if they wanted an "intercourse" whilst waiting for the main dish. That was in the days when you got your dinner freshly cooked, and had to wait: No microwaves then.

  Are there many members in the Intercourse congregation? Yes the town EXISTS!!

  SIMON- omg! Cola cubes!!!! it must be 40 years since I had one. Can you still even get them, the soft centered ones? This thread is a great memory lane trip.

  One ignorant fool of a sister said that if you are being harrassed by deemunz - as she told her daughters (all of them nymphos who seduced each others husbands and father in laws) - switch on the electric light (demons are afraid of it) and shout Jehovah repeatedly.

  Sheeesh!!

  The video is a highly distilled taster. After that you need to do some homework.

  Sadly many Christians - especially jdubs want somebody else to do their thinking for them, and that means letting ignorant old men, who went to Beth hell and cannot even think clearly themselves, decide that what they dont understand or know about is a lot of shite. But then so is most of what the religious press excretes faithfully.

  New Article on BEARDS and Attire of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have had requests to add an article about beards and jehovah's witnesses.

  it is interesting that there is virtually no statement that says a witness cannot have a beard, yet universally they do not have beards.

  i have scoured quotes from all the threads on jwn, all references to beard on the cd watchtower library, and copies of elders letters that i have.

  it is hilarious that in an earlier article scriptures were used to explain why we know Jesus didnt have a beard. Later the same scriptures were used to show why jesus had a beard.

  This whole issue is as ridiculous as that of the Alpha and Omega - in 1976(??) it jumped from Jehovah to Jesus and back and forth for several months.

  A QUESTION FOR JW'S who say, "The brothers were overly zealous" about 1975

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "what was the actual significance of that year, then?".

  if jw's were overly zealous, what was the exact amount of zeal encouraged by the wts for a non-event which took up.

  over 7 years of every jw's time?.

  "Life Everlasting in the Freedumb of sons of God" printed a chronological chart (p36 I think) saying that in 2975 the end of Christ's millennium would happen. Tying this in with other statements in the book, it became impossible to dismiss 1975 as mere speculation, even though they admittedly never said Armageddon will come that year. They never siad Armageddon will come in 1914, but they did say the battle of Armageddon will end in 1914 - with all that implies.

  Words like - evidently, apparently, logically, reasonably, appropriate are all cues for the gofors to swallow the particular piece of crap the Slave excretes..

  Routine operation and low risk?

  The blood issue obviously influenced the outcome, but what surgeon gives a routine low risk operation then had the patient haemorraging?

  Plenty of surgeons kill patients every year through their own incompetence, never mind JWs bleeding to death.

  Like in the old days: " the patient survived successful surgery for breast cancer, but died two days later."

  A question for my friends in the USA about cowboys.

  by punkofnice in

  1. social
  2. current

  as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.

  later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.

  we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.
