the watchtower is constantly pulling quotes out of context and distorting the original author's meaning.

why not give them a taste of their own poison?

here's a few to get you started: .

We Brits know what all the highway code signs mean, we just choose to ignore them. Points on your lisence is like a badge of honour over here and if you can take out a speed camera while ignoring the signs your made king of the road

New MS treatment derived from goats blood

by New Worldly Translation in

this treatment, called aimspro, isn't available yet but from what i have read and seen reported it's had very encouraging results.

one guy with extreme muscle weakness was able to feel normal strength in his arms after just 20 mins.

i wonder what jw's would think of this product as it's a blood based serum.

New Worldly Translation

If JW's can now use whole cow blood, then I don't think goat blood would be much of a biggie.

Really? I didn't know that. Mind you I was never sure what you could accept and what was forbidden. I'm glad I was never in a position to make that choice when I was a JW.

Why are they allowed whole cows blood now? Is it cos too many dubs had a penchant for black pudding or super rare steak?

I think it would be extremely remiss of the org to stop people using it if the benefits are so great. Maybe they will do a trademark flip-flop on this issue and say it's ok due to pressure from multiple sclerosis sufferers. I am very interested in the clinical outcome of this treatment as 2 friends of my family have advanced MS and are both JW's. Here's one link but there is quite a buzz about it at the moment so there are many other sources.

Bruce Willis is a big baby

by New Worldly Translation in

.

what a retard, he obviously takes himself far too seriously -.

New Worldly Translation

And Americans are rude? Maybe so, but this kind of behavior on the part of an interviewer is considered very rude. A lot of celebs do not grant interviews. I don't blame them.

I didn't mean this to be a US bashing thread cos I like Americans. I even like most of Willis's films. I just think some celebs lose touch with reality and don't have the ability to laugh at themselves. You made a good point that a lot of celebs are forced to do interviews for publicity for the film but he did get paid millions of dollars to be in it and publicity is all part of the deal.

Isn't it strange?

well??????

haven't you noticed that the wts is prone to contradictions.

New Worldly Translation

Good ones Mary

If things are going well in the world it's because there is a 'false sense of peace and security'. If things are going badly it's a sign of the end of the system.

You can't gamble as you are relying on luck but you can enter prize draws on the TV or in newspapers etc.

They say the literature is without charge but you are told to wind into the conversation that the householder really should make a contribution.

C.O. visit; They sound desperate.

by TonyT in

my mother recently told me that the congregation was scolded by their district sales manager....errr circuit overseer for poor meeting attendance.

it seems that at times attendance would sink as low as 60%.

she didn't respond when i said that maybe there was something good on television that night.

New Worldly Translation

I thought the CO's duty was to encourage the congregations?

Before I left the dubs I noticed this tendency with CO visits that it seemed they had just visited to chastise everyone. Unfortunately the CO's and the doods at bethel wrtiting the outlines don't live in the real world and fail to realize people have jobs to go to, families to raise and numerous other responsibilities.

New Worldly Translation

Tell the whole story so we can see why you say he's a big baby.

I'm not sure what the exact questions were that they asked him. You have to see the show to understand why it would have been strange for him to get angry during the interview. It's a 7pm Saturday night entertainment show which has a part where 2 young kids interview celebs and ask them slightly silly questions. Not rude questions likely to cause offence, it's a family show remember.

Maybe Bruce was in a bad mood that day but it doesn't excuse shouting at a couple of kids. There was more than likely a floor manager present during the interview and he could have politely asked that the interview be stopped. He's in the UK at the moment plugging his film Hostage and in all the interviews I've seen he's come across as terribly self important and unable to take criticism. I don't think a lot of the hollywood stars are used to the talk show formats over here. They're used to Letterman, Leno et al where all they do is plug the film and tell a few anecdotes while the host fawns over them. Here we've got Parky asking personal in-depth questions, Graham Norton asking cheeky questions and giving them sex toys and Jonathan Ross who just plain insults them usually.
