Watchtower Parody Page #8

hey all, .

i can't sleep tonight for some reason, and so i took a whack at correcting some of the more glaring typos on the watchtower's site.

(for instance, they keep misspelling "lie" as t-r-u-t-h. weird...) anyone wanna double-check me, here?

>>And I really like the informative links!!

I think it would've been cool if each link did something different, but I hoped I wouldn't have that kinda time! And sure enough, I nodded off a little after building this.

New Paranoia -- Medical Forms are the newest tools of Satan

by fyerstar in

my sister (a well-meaning, sweet drone) sent me this email and although i don't get a chance to post often, i thought that this was just too ridiculous to keep to myself.

i don't have the heart to tell her that there are other people on the planet that have things they'd rather the medical community didn't do to save their lives.

scary people we used to hang around with.

>>I understand that advance directives are NOT honored at [this medical Center]

Yeah, no way in hell a hospital lawyer is going to ok that one. You want sued? Trick people into signing away their right to choose medical care. This would let the doctor perform an abortion if he felt it necessary to save the mother's life, despite her stating otherwise in a "directive".

No way. I don't doubt your sister sent it to you, or that she believes it's for real (after all -- gasp! -- what WOULDN'T Satan do?!?), but there's just no way.

Remembering our Absent Apostate Friends

by wanderlustguy in

jw
friends

i had thought of doing this for a while, and a good friend of mine had the same idea not too long ago, so here we go.. i've been here long enough to see some good friends leave us, some just move on and some have gone on to the next life, whatever that is.

i don't think it's so important to say how they left us, but just the fact that they were here and they had something to say, and they were/are good people.

just like us, some were tormented and made a choice to go, and some were shown the door by their choices.

I sometimes wonder whatever became of RebelliousSpirit. Such a together person, but trouble just seemed to trip over her on its way to someone else.

personal beliefs re: life after death...none since leaving JW.... You?

by oompa in

i do not have a clue anymore.

having just accepted my own mortality, what the hey does happen at death?

i never thought about it before, because i did not have to.

>>I don't 'believe in something' after death, because none of us know.

No one KNOWS, that's true. But I think the likelihood is that we will cease to exist as self-aware entities. Kinda sucks, but as was mentioned, it's no worse than before we were born. Considering how much time we spent in nonexistence, death is more of a "returning to normal" than anything else! (Still sucks though! I want my Panda! I was promised pandas!!!!)
