the issue is as old as eden itself, that being: does god have the right to tell us what to do?
that core question, more than anything else, defines what jehovahs witnesses are about, in that we are outspoken advocates and supporters of jehovahs right as sovereign to require obedience from his creatures.
the flip side of that is, of course, rebellion against god, which is expressed in numerous ways and on all levels of society.
Posts like this just piss me off, and I'm not sorry to say this. YouKnow, you don't know a flying flock in hell--that is if you believed in hell...Yeah, I'm being vulgar--I'm an apostrate, I'm a demon, I'm a sex starved kitten, just looking for some holy dub to corrupt into my evil ways, and bring him into the darkness of night, preferable with his pants down.
LOL.
well today i went to my trainer and i weighed myself.
i weigh a disgusting 258 pounds!
i new record for me.
Changing what you eat is a step in the right direction, but you should see a doctor, get some blood tests, etc, see if you have an underlying medical problem. But--my best advice for you is to EXERCISE. I'm one of those strange people who love to work out, lift weights, go for a run or bike ride, actually I look forward to it, it gives me a chance to clear my mind and get rid of some stress.
Stress=one stupid ass jw in my life and his twisted family.
i remember one sunday sitting in the kingdom hall and, out of the blue (after looking at one of those most dreadful pictures of armageddon), sincerely asked my mother, "where are we going to go?".
my mother frankly stated, "we'll all just gather here at the kingdom hall and god's angels will protect us!"..
i continued by asking, "what's going to happen to all the dead bad people?".
Maybe that's why there's no windows in the Halls?
Better bring a shovel and a gas mask!
well the magic kingdom should have been here by now and we should have been speaking hebrew and all be white so i suggest we throw a party in 12 years to celebrate 100 years of hope!we`ll get the governing body to come and make a few predictions and introduce a new magazine the waste tower!
where should we have this bash ny or what?.
beans
It's gotta be bethel, doesn't it??????? I mean that is where Jehovah "speaks" to the writers of all those wonderful booklets I line my cat litter box with! Very absorbant.
the following was a letter that i wrote to myself several weeks ago.
i'm not sure what to make of this.
ok, tonight i went to my dance class.
This sounds like a JW issue to me:
There wasn't anyone who I felt comfortable sitting with.
My problem is that I don't know how to act in front of other people. I don't pick up on social cues.
I look at people and just hate them.
Definite witness upbringing...The stupid ass I was dating had similiar feelings, he felt he couldn't relate to anyone on the outside of his congregation, and only those in his congreg. understood him. He had no idea how to interact with people and figured that everyone hated him if they didn't respond to him as he thought they should.
Oh, and don't categorize yourself as being introverted, someone as HORNY as you sometimes sound is not introverted...
But you can't expect everyone to instanteously like you, that's something that has to be worked for: built.
The girl said hello to you, she didn't have to, but she did, so, she was being friendly to you, maybe she even liked you and [wanted] you to sit by her, you'll never know now,
You sound insecure, not introverted...

you may not remember, but i know you very well.
i met you a long time ago when you came to my house with your smiling faces, your neat clothes, and your soft voices, and a bible tucked neatly under your arm.
you told me many beautiful stories of a "paradise earth," and a "righteous new system" which would be established shortly.
Outaservice--can I please print this out and send it to a witness whom I knew and loved, anomymously, ofcourse????

okay, just for the record--this post is very long and pathetic.
i found it while doing some research and it's just so outrageous and ignorant.
the wt has their own demented answers for anything, and this is their reasoning behind the #'s 666:.
Okay, just for the record--this post is very long and pathetic. I found it while doing some research and it's just so outrageous and ignorant. The WT has their own demented answers for anything, and this is their reasoning behind the #'s 666:
Watchtower January/February 1882 p. 9, 10 ***
'THE NAME OF THE BEAST, OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME.'
B. Have you been able to decipher the name and number? I have heard of many who have tried all sorts of names and applications, but none of them ever seemed reasonable to
me.
A. The same has been my difficulty. A little over a year ago I spoke on the subject of this same chapter to the name-less little company of 'this way,' in Lynn, Mass. , and concluded my remarks by telling them that I had never seen a satisfactory explanation of the 666. And, though I thought I had given a correct analysis of the symbols of the chapter, yet I could not claim it to be wisdom, since I could not interpret the number. I suggested, however, that if ours be the correct understanding of the time in which we are living-the 'harvest' of the age-and if our general application of these symbols be correct, the number should soon be understood. I urged examination on the subject by all, for the Lord is sometimes pleased to give wisdom through the weakest of his children. 'Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou hast ordained praise. '
About three months after, I received a long letter from one of the thinking brethren of that place, saying that he thought he had the key; and I think he has; it certainly fits the lock in every particular. I will give it to you very much as he suggested it.
His process of reasoning was as follows: Jesus, who gave this revelation to us (Rev. 1:1), well knew that this symbol could not be understood until about the present time, for the reason that the Image was only made in 1846. Jesus also knew, of course, that English would be the language used by probably four-fifths of his earnest truth-seeking children, in the 'time of the end. He knew, also, that not many wise, not many great, not many learned in all languages would be of the chosen 'little flock. ' Moreover, it was his custom to adapt his teachings to the 'common people,' and of this sort his Jewels have been from, the twelve disciples and since. Therefore it would appear that the number 666, should be open to the comprehension of us all-we being the ones told to count-as much so as were
the other symbolic numbers of Danl. and Rev. Let us try, then, to apply these figures in English. *(This is the first application in English, known to the writer, but the reasonableness of it is obvious.)
First, then, the number is that of the (first) BEAST. Let us see whether it will apply to some of its names, That system which Paul calls the man of sin is the
Roman Catholic power = 666.
12345 61234561 23456
He is in Revelation called a BEAST
Roman Catholic 'Beast' = 666.
The system is also called the 'woman' (Rev. 17:18)
Roman Catholic 'woman' = 666.
She calls herself the
'Holy Catholic Church' = 666.
She is really and truly (Rev. 17:5) 'The Mother of Harlots' = 666.
Thus we see that the number fits the BEAST well.
The second BEAST was anxious to have exactly the same name, and in fact it claimed to have the pre-eminent right to the name- 'Holy Catholic church,' = 666.
Other names by which it is often known, are -
'English State Church,' = 666.
'The Episcopal Church,' = 666.
'Episcopalian Church,' = 666.
'The Church of England,' = 666.
This application of the number, will doubtless appear to some too simple to be accepted, but thus God ever deals with us-hiding truth under the vail of its own simplicity, so that it may appear to the Greek (worldly wise) foolishness, but unto them which believe (not to those who believe without
evidence, but who believe on the strongest kind of evidence -the harmony of His Word) the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (1 Cor. 1:23.)
The Image causes all who claim relationship, or whom it recognizes, as having a right to buy or sell - teach - to have as a creed, that which shall mark them as having either 'the name' of the BEAST, or the 'number' of his name - 666.
Many take the name and in their creeds recite, 'I believe in the 'Holy Catholic Church' = 666.
Among those who thus openly mark themselves in their forehead (by their creeds) are Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterians and others. But others give a seeming support (mark in their hand) to the general principal by
organizing under various sectarian names. After these are blended in the IMAGE, (and no one would be admitted to
membership in the Evangelical Alliance, unless he be a member of some such sect), they all are collectively known as the 'Protestant Churches,' = 666. Which we see contains the Beast's number.
If we for instance were to organize, though we protest more than all others against the errors of Rome, and also against the errors of the Image and second BEAST, yet we would not be reckoned one of the 'Protestant churches,' because we would not be recognized as orthodox-They would not
count our organization a church.
Should you inquire for our meetings and ask - Is that a protestant church which meets here? the answer would come - Oh, no; they are not Evangelical. They have no creed to mark them, so that the Alliance can decide whether
they are an Evangelical Protestant Church or not."

You know what he would love--any man would love--come to his door some time dressed in nothing but stockings and a long coat. That will really get his blood pumping.
