Creative House-to-House Time Wasting Manuevers
by Black Man inanyone here master the art of pressing in the doorbell without really pressing it?
how about knocking where it seems loud on the outside, but you know it can't be heard on the inside.
or standing at a door for up to 5 minutes when you know nobody was there.

Apocryphal Books
by Black Man ini've been starting to read the apocryphal books (just for the heck of it and pure academia), you know, those books that were deemed unsuitable to be considered as part of the bible canon by the religous bureaucrats back in 317 c.e.
at the council of nicea (constantinople).
i think the bible and the apocryphal books are probably a bunch of crap, but can someone school me on them?

I think the Bible and the Apocryphal books are probably a bunch of crap, but can someone school me on them? They seem to add background and fill in gaps of many bible characters (Adam/Eve after the rebellion, Enoch, Jesus, etc). Can someone cliff notes style point out some high points?

Am I bored with JWD? Or have I outgrown it?
by AK - Jeff inthis is not one of those 'farewell' threads, 'gotta' go' threads, or 'bye' threads.
because i know myself well enough to say that i would not honor my own exit - i would soon be back, .
but in all honesty, i am finding my desire to be on this forum less and less compelling.

Beautifully written portrait of your growth, Jeff. I think all of us are striving to get to where you are. When you reach the point where you're able to see your growth and move on from your past, 'tis a wonderful thing................

The great debate
by darth frosty incoming up, i remember how the jw heavies would brag how back in the day (the 30's and 40's) witnesses would have debates against various religous leaders on matters of faith.
they claimed the reasons the debates ceased, was they used to whip the religious leaders so bad, it became pointless.
as we all know today, witlesses want no part of an earnest deabate with any one.

OK, I'll chime in here.....I have always struggled with the whole universal issue/introduction of sin analogy and it's never really computed with me and still doesn't. But I APPRECIATE the dialogue about this from both sides (pro & against) of the topic and the way in which the debates in this thread have for the most part been civil. This is dialogue that you can NEVER get at a kingdom hall and I love being able to MENTALLY exercise, ponder and think about the subject and its accompanying responses. Such a contrast to the brain-dead exercise routines in cognitive dissonance one receives at a KH. Thank you everyone for posting here!!! Just had to get that out............
And by the way, RAF aka Frenchbabyface, I have had such a ongoing crush on you and your pic/avatar.....you are as cute as your thoughts...........just had to get that out too...............

Yep, I remember Fred Curry. He was the assistant Pressroom Overseer. Company man who was cool with me, even though he was a butt-hole to some friends of mine. Was short and had anchor man type hair.
