Nosferatu's School of Dating - Lesson 1.1 - Rejection

by Nosferatu in

it took a little time to figure out what to write about for my very first tip.

i thought to myself, "well, what makes dating work?

kino?

elsewhere: ...and if a man is "shiny" and exciting enough, she'll go weak in the knees for him.

And people, the reason for Elsewhere's tax return receipts quoting 18 gallons of the finest olive oil.

Another Watchtower Mindset?

by The wanderer in

another watchtower mindset?

it amazes me how jehovah's witnesses think.

same time it terrifies me to think that i thought in the same way.

stevenyc

Wonderer,

Well, what did you expect to happen when you tried to remove the soft padding from their cell. Smacking your head against a brick wall of logic really hurts. And then there's all that investment. They bought the cell space, and the padding is the 'self assembly required' kind.

I know, it took me a few years of bloody noses and bruises before I stopped and just walking out the open door.

All Scripture Is Inspired and Beneficial for Teaching: page 9:

Someone may ask, What has been the means of communication? This may well be illustrated by a modern-day example. Communications lines have (1) the utterer, or originator, of the message; (2) the transmitter; (3) the medium through which the message passes; (4) the receiver; and (5) the hearer. In telephone communications we have (1) the telephone user originating the communication; (2) the telephone transmitter, which converts the message into electrical impulses; (3) the telephone lines carrying the electrical impulses to the destination; (4) the receiver reconverting the message from impulses to sounds; and (5) the hearer. Likewise in heaven (1) Jehovah God originates his utterances; (2) then his official Word, or Spokesman—now known as Jesus Christ—often transmits the message; (3) God’s holy spirit, the active force that is used as the medium of communication, carries it earthward; (4) God’s prophet on earth receives the message; and (5) he then publishes it for the benefit of God’s people. Just as on occasion today a courier may be sent to deliver an important message, so Jehovah at times chose to use spirit messengers, or angels, to carry some communications from the heavens to his servants on the earth.

Article on Origins of Xristianity I Wrote REALLY UPSET Local Christians

by Seeker4 in

i had an assignment to write a bunch of holiday articles that would be shared by all the various papers owned by the guy who owns the paper i'm the editor of.

after i'd had enough with the usual holiday stuff, i decided to get a little adventerous and expanded one in the series to include, not just the origins of christmas foods, but also some ideas i've been reading and watching about the origins of the chrisitain religion itself.. this is a link to the article, which ran a few weeks ago: .

: Call the origins of Mohammad a Greek myth and tomorrow some fanatic will be more than happy to kill you and your family.

LOL, the Jewish / Christian / Muslim God are all one and the same.

Good response.

Otherwise Engaged...

by LittleToe in

just a little breaking news:.

after several years of a great friendship with diane (previously posted as xena) things have started to really come together recently and i've succumbed to making an honest woman of her (or at least as honest as it's possible to make her.

last night (xmas day) i popped the question and she agreed to marry me (i wonder if she knows what she's let herself in for!!!)..

DID NOAH USE THE GREAT BEAR STAR TO NAVIGATE?

by badboy in

jw
friends

it is believed that antienct man may have known about the great bear constellion as far back as 20,000 years ago.. therefore did noah use the constellion to navigate his ark?.

Also, if there was a great 'water canopy' before the flood, then this would have been the first time anyone would have seen the stars.

Demonic expereiences

by Tyrone van leyen in

all bs and religion aside we've all heard the demon stories of the witnesses but has anyone actually had an personal experience such that you can't explain with your rational mind that shocked you and may lend credence to the possibility of something paranormal.

not something hyped, or emotional,but something your gut told you is just couldn't happen and did?

stevenyc

Occationally I have demonic possession experiences while I'm sleeping.

I can always tell when it has happened. I have a list of things to look out for just in case this happens to you:

Mouth is dry and tastes like an ashtray filled with vodka
No memory recall from about 10pm of the previous night
Head pains (obviously from the demon memory wipe!)
In bad cases of possession, you may also have fits of ectoplasm ejection that has the resemblance of curry
I decreased bank account (money is the root of all evil after all)
