  hieroglyphics that tell the incredible story of spaceships

  One wonders what the "glyph" for "spaceship" would be. Lucky break the Rosetta Stone was found, or they may never have figured it out!

  I've seen this pic before... it was made by an old guy who held things in front of his camera with a string.

  "The fool responds to a matter before he knows it," says the proverb. Did you bother to enlarge the photograph? Look in the viewports of the craft? Obviously not, or you would have seen this:

  

  It's all starting to make sense now...

  this poor fellow got in trouble with the watchtower society over copyright laws and got reprimanded.

  instead of standing up for his rights, he just "kisses xxx.

  Now that the New World Translation is online, I wonder how long it will take Silver or some other enterprising JW to simply create links to the Society's own web site for the scriptures?

  Better yet, they could create IFRAME's and source the stuff directly into their own pages, while still not "stealing" it.

  I've seen plenty of elders with thick packets of printed stuff -- Theocratic School Material in particular -- that they've downloaded from the internet. I doubt something so convenient is going to go away easily.

  *I* regret losing a few years of living, not making good plans for the future, getting "shunned" by family. Puts it all in perspective, doesn't it? I haven't lost anything in comparison to you and others like you.

  This "should-be-God-D*mned" religion...

  Take care, Balsam.

  Gina and I did some amateur investigating on this the other day (nothing approaching the work of Leolaia) and concluded that it could go either way, but there wasn't enough evidence to jump up and scream "stake" as the Watchtower has done for decades.

  Anybody know why they chose to go with the stake idea? Just to be different?

  Would you buy this XJW coffee mug?

  by coult9056 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because i have a sense of humor about the many failed prophecies of the jw's, i've always wanted some ex-jw merchandise with some class and humor to go with it.

  i've considered marketing a few of my ideas.....coffee mugs, shirts, etc.

  there are so many areas to go (no blood, no military service, college = devil's propaganda, etc.

  What if God was a parent today?...

  by Hecklerboy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if your child was on the street corner and a drug dealer approached them and offered them some drugs and you saw all of this happening in front of you.

  would you run and stop the drug dealer to protect your child or let you child make their own decision?

  well i think most of us would answer that we would probably beat the crap out of the drug dealer to protect our child.. why then did god let eve talk to satan (drug dealer) and eat of the forbidden fruit (drugs)?

  When has God ever stepped in and done anything for any of his "children"? If you -- a total stranger -- see a person bleeding to death and do nothing, you can be held criminally liable. Saying, "I was trying to make a POINT here!" wouldn't buy you much leniency.

  If God were a parent today, he'd be in jail for neglect. Or rather abandonment.
