the witnesses are worse than the pharisees ever were!.
if you don't turn in a time slip and record your "ministerial" activities, you are no good.. if you wanted to smoke, you would be kicked out, even though the bible says nothing about smoking (and j.f.
rutherford, the society's president regularly smoked).. you cannot go to a "quick build" project and give of your free services if you are wearing a tee shirt with a logo on it!.

"i know it took a long time, but i finally made the truth my own.".

"Are you crazy!!! They might see us talking. They're everywhere you know. They can get inside you mind. Make you see things. Here things. Where did I put those pills"
i've always been told that i have a very good personality, that i'm humorous, etc.. one elder called me over and said that i was "smiling too much".
the other elders talked to the elder who counseled me and he came back to say that i should be like i was .

Got counceled for being interested in a girl I met at a Kingdumb Hall build. She was a pioneer and I was studying. I was raised in the whole mess but waited till I was 23 to get dunked. We both were really interested in each other. She was a very cool sister.
Well after one of my weekly studies the brother I was studying with told me I shouldn't be seeing her because I wasn't baptised yet. It was wrong for her to be interested in me and she could lose her pioneer status for seeing me. Of course I didn't listen and tried calling her. She refused my calls and kept making up excuses to not talk to me. Still pisses me off today when I think about it.
on t v i recently saw some of the film "knowledge" starring nicholas cage .
the idea of the film was that the main character had knowledge of coming disasters .
he was distraught - desperate - panicking to try and stop it happening.
I would say the majority don't really believe it will happen. I mean, how many JW have 401K plans or IRA's. If they trully believe Armegeddon was coming soon they would have no reason to save.
when you look back over the 130 year history of wt, what is the most bizzare/ridiculous/hilarious/absurd teaching or quotes that you have found?.
one of the ones i find hilarious is during the beth-sarim affair, rutherford announced that the world was laughing and mocking them because they don't believe the resurrection is going to come to pass when they said it was.
rutherford went on to say in effect "we will show them when people start coming back from the graves"... lol.
That if a woman didn't scream while being raped that she comitted fornication.
yes late at night the roof creaks....and the older t.v {picture tube} makes a creaking sound when cooling down at night....of course at breakfast she thought it was demonzz because i had the playstation...."violent game"on....which was starwars not so demonized.

Does anyone remember when the Revelation book had a page with pictures of jets and tanks and war. It said that this was a literal sign of the times. Then the next time we studied it they told us to ignore that page that the teaching had changed. Nu-Lite. I remember putting a big X on that page. I guess Jehober got it wrong the first time.
Believing that the demonz will come and get you if you listen to certain music or watch certain movie. Hmmmm, maybe that's what "The Ring" is about. Demonz come out of the TV and get you after a week. At least they have the courtesy to call a week ahead of time.
if anyone has found a good music album produced in the last 2 or 3 years, put it here.. my nomination: '3 doors down' self-titled album released 2009; and it's hard rock..

Here's a great book about women. It goes into detail about women and how they think and why they think it. It's a pretty amazing book.
One thing I remember from reading it. Do you realize a woman thinks about 10 to 15 different things at one time. Their mind is constantly thinking about something and they hardly ever relax. Unlike us men. When you ask what are we thinking about when we are watching the game and we say nothing, we mean absolutely that. All we are thinking about is the game.
There's also the same book for women about men.
i was thinking of a few celebrities i have met over the years -.
