  I'd tell them to go look at a load of porn sites and then blame it on “links sent to misguide us” put up by naughty apostates.

  i feel really sad and worried today.

  yesterday, the police announced that those evil people things who carried out the london bombings came from my own county of west yorkshire.

  on my way to work today, i walked through the market hall where there are both muslim and non-muslim stall holders.

  It's no surprise though is it sad E. I lived in one of the Asians area of Halifax and be it from mistrusted of my white skin or pure racism on their part little effort was made to integrate from the Asian community as a whole. That said there were many individuals that shared my frustration of the voluntary segregation between English and Asian. Just as Asians in this country will band together moderate whites with the bigots so Asians will be tarred with the same brush as the extremists. It's not only the responsibility of the white community to present a tolerant face but to offer a path for Asians and any minority community to represent itself.

  I was listening to the PM question time today and the subject of the Muslim community taking more responsibility for the crimes committed it the name of Islam was discussed. There is a view held that whilst verbally the Muslim community has condemned any act of terrorism it has done little to stop the crimes done in the name of their god or to bring to justice the offenders. We've all heard that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq were wars against Muslims even though Muslims were already fighting Muslim in tribal warfare. No mention was given for liberating Muslims from their oppressors.

  Fact of the matter is that you give a man made religion to someone and they will use it to there own ends. Don't anyone say it's the imperfect people that's at fault because if any religion was the word of the Gods then it wouldn't be corrupted so. Now do you see why I hate religion so much?

  As always different situations cause different responses, though my bullying was only occasionally physical, mainly name calling and exclusion, I can see now how it was used to force me to conform to the social norm. I look on it as society knocking me into shape rather than individual kids having fun at my expense. As a society I think we are all to quick to label something as bad when even in its extremity it does have a social function.

  Maybe not as a chat up line but it has made the ladies more eager to make it all better on one or two occasions. Best keep it quiet though as the wife likes to lurk here.

  I have unashamedly used it in the passed to get sympathy from young ladies. “I never had Christmas or birthdays as a child, no presents waiting for me at the end of the bed, no cake with candles just for me, hold me, I need a hug”

  Should dubs sun-bathe?

  by bother_forever in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so smoking cigs is a drug, yea like caffine (saw this posted somewhere recently), so then they say, its a defilement, and cause cancer etc.

  by this method of thinking, is it also wrong to deliberatly sun-bathe, knowing full well its dangerous (especially here in australia, lots of skin cancers from it) and possibly not showing respect for "the sanctity of life"?.

  someone asked me this while i was still a dub, i think it helped put a dent in the old "faith" bridge.

  The Golden Age 1933 September 13 p.777

  The earlier in the forenoon you take the sun bath, the greater will be the beneficial effect, because you get more of the ultra-violet rays, which are healing.

  Source http://quotes.watchtower.ca/medical-miscellaneous.htm

  Thanks to quotes for many enlightening reads.

  
  
  

  That's Gods word you're hearing there and that melanoma is his blessing.

  Now get back to discussing the nuddy sunbathing

  "Tear Down the Watchtower Day!"

  by 144001 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after surviving what has been a rather depressing week, an idea suddenly came to me.

  after being born and raised in the loathsome cult that is the watchtower, i was deprived of many things, including without limitation all holidays and the accompanying joy that goes with them.

  as an adult, i've been celebrating all the traditional "worldly" holidays, but although i enjoy and appreciate them, i've noticed that there's something missing.

  I'm all for having a day that celebrates a persons freedom for the org and having a day to batter the foundations of the WT but I want to have my cake and eat in. March 4 th is a great day for protest but I take my celebrating seriously, it would be like Christ getting in the way of celebrating Christmas. Why not have March the 4 th and October 1 st ? March for the protesting, October for the partying.

  Just and idea but i vote for March 4 th anyway.
