else, you are always one of the more polite people on jwd.
just thought i'd point that out.
Would that be the feta cheese award?I think it is Gouda Cheese.*** Ba - Doom - Pishhhh ***
No, I think it is feta. Feta is made of goat's milk. Gouda from cow's. I'm not a heifer yanno, I'm a goat! But then again I AM a Billygoat, so maybe that's the wrong argument.
We're not irritated defd. We actually love conversing about stuff like this. On this board you learn to be thick-skinned, so don't run off too far. We'd love to talk more. (As long as you don't take things too personal.)

Thank you my dear. I wondered if anyone would get that.
FHN - now THAT was good! I LMAO at that one!!!lmao! Billygoat gets the "Cheesy Joke of the Day" award.Would that be the feta cheese award?
my gawd.
i noticed that the movie got decent reviews and i didn't really hear anything bad about it, so i gave it a chance on hbo tonight.. .
these stupid ass reviewers got duped.
That there was no plot, is the plot.
This is true. But we all loved Seinfeld and that show was about absolutely nothing. Why should this be different right?
I think Napoleon Dynamite showed a simple-yet intimate and conglomerate, portrait of just the simple life of being a teen, wanting to fit in, but not being able to. It was triumphate in the end, had a lot of good lines, and made me feel good when I came away from seeing it. It showed that even if someone is "different" they still have a wonderful, positive place in the world. I liked the total celebration of difference in this movie.
I think this is what I related to so much in the movie. I had such a hard time fitting in as a teenager. My parents always told me to "be myself", but of course as a teen that's so hard to really "get". As an adult I think I can finally understand that not only is it okay to be different, but being different is a celebration. In a world of sameness (especially here in North Dallas!) being different is something to be proud of!

it is possible to express one's thoughts and ideas without being so mean to others..
dont think people should celebrate Christmas and even tho i would join the army and kill if needed i dont think thats right.i dont believe in hell if there was one god is just as bad as Satan for letting it happen and the punishment doesn't fit the crime. i dont think you should smoke anything or use foul language both of which i do on a regular basis and i think the world will be a paradise again because that was gods original plan for the earth.
Do you think JWs are the only ones that believe that? You've GOT to start researching my friend. LOL!

You're just jealous that nobody has ever wanted to call you "genteel". LOL!

well then what religion do you think most represents the way that you think god would like to be served?
You don't get what I'm saying. There isn't a PERFECT religion out there. It is subjective to everyone and what their desires/needs are to serve a God. I go to a church where I don't necessarily agree with everything they teach. Some of their doctrine is flawed, but I don't base a lot of my spirituality in doctrine. The two things they DO practice and practice in amazing ways are the two main laws that Christ taught: Love your God with your whole heart and love your neighbor. Do you see what I'm getting at? You are going to disagree about doctrine with probably every church out there. But do they live the way Christ would have us live? If for the most part, they are, then maybe they're onto something. Being religious and being spiritual are two totally different things. JWs have a tendency to be dogmatically religious. Spiritual? I can't in good conscience say yes to that. Most JWs are all for show. It doesn't come down to whether or not Jehovah would be happy with them, but whether the elders would be. Most JWs can't distinguish between their religion and God. It's one and the same. Other religions are very different about that.

I somewhat agree that the JW's have it closer than most religions (This being said by a person that doesn't really care to learn about other christian religions)
I hate to break it to you, but if you did study other religions you'd QUICKLY realize that JWs DON'T have it closer than most religions. They are actually very far away. But that's the rub: when you exit dubland, the last thing you want to do is study religion. This group is nothing like Christ's teachings here on earth. Nothing. Study the bible. Borrow books from the library. Read whatever you can get your hands on. You'll realize there is not a perfect or true religion out there, but you will realize the JWs are pretty far off the mark.
two leading oncologists both agree that my daughter bethany might be alive today if she had not been fed arsenic.
as you may recall, the wts arranged to take my sick daughter into hiding for two months and payed a doctor to prescribe arsenic.
the doctor ant the wts lawyers convinced bethany that the arsenic treatment could cure her.
Larry and everyone else:
I'm sorry for feeding this conversation as well. I know this isn't the place for it, when Larry is handling so many other affairs. He's just asking for assistance in this thread and that's all this thread is really supposed to be about. How can we move this conversation elsewhere?
