  kudos to potleg who came up with the idea!

  can you just imagine if the wbts came out with its own line of clothing for the faithful dubs?

  potleg, that is just a wicked idea, a line of jw clothing, oh god can't you just see it.

  Better to Burn Out or Rust?

  by Big Dog in

  1. social
  2. humour

  is it better to live life hard treating your body like an amusement park and doing things like partying hard, hang gliding, skydiving, extreme sports, etc.

  or to pace yourself eating all the right foods, avoiding dangerous pastimes, watching your cholesterol, etc.

  for a long and possibly duller life?

  Favorite Easter Candy

  2. humour

  scully's happy easter got me thinking about easter baskets and easter candy.

  those cadbury eggs are just the best, like a pure jolt of sugar and the fake yolk and white is just too cool.

  what are your favorite easter candies?

  Society RAP

  by Big Dog in

  1. social
  2. humour

  with all the threads on music lately a thought crossed my mind, why not write a little ditty about the wbts?

  i am not a fan of rap, but it occured to me that a rap song would be an ideal vehicle for it.

  with all the funny, creative, talented, bright, etc.

  Church from Bible, Bible from Church?

  by Big Dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  after leaving the borg and through research convincing myself that the wbts did not have the "truth" i began to read a wide variety of religous materials and tried to delve into as many faiths as possible.

  i was curious what others believed and after growing up in such an insular faith i found it fascinating to learn about all the different philosophies and beliefs.

  one particular issue i found especially interesting, and that was the issue of sola scriptura, " simply stated, the protestant doctrine of sola scriptura ("scripture alone") teaches that every teaching in christian theology (everything pertaining to "faith and practice") must be able to be derived from scripture alone.

  What I remember from 1975

  by Big Dog in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  since i am sort of late to the party this has probably been beaten to death and if it has just kick this thread to the curb.

  i was 11 years old in 1975 and i remember being scared silly the whole year.

  i mean there was so much hype about it and the tension in the air was so thick it was unreal.

  Hate leaving my family behind.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  after lurking about for a while i finally decided to join the board.

  i have never done anything like this and was amazed at how stressful it was to sign up and press the return key to join up and actually post something.

  just a quick bio: 41 year old lawyer who was raised a jw but had the good sense to never get baptized.
