Witnesses use the bible for their own benefit, and translate it to suit the needs of the constant mind control they demand of their faithful and discreet slaves. If the bible was written by God himself, as the WT teaches, how can MAN think he could correctly translate it's true meaning? Esp. how the WT deciphers the bible playing leap frog.

Dont blame the witnesses, its the Bible...
by sleepy indont blame the witnesses, its the bible's fault.. well you can blame them for trying to stick to the thing, but belief in the bible is the main problem.. i've heard the gb and witnesses be called evil by some, as though they have gone out to hurt people on purpose.. but i doubt that this is true, at least in recent times.. no the problem comes from believing the bible is god's word and trying to interpret it and follow it.. what happens when you do so?.
you get the catholic inquisition,people burnt at the stake,you get jews fighting for a promised land, religious groups who let their children die and a host of other problems.. i ask a question.if you were god and were going to have a book written on how man should live, would you do it in such a way that if misinterpeted or taken too literaly or mistranslated slightly , could result in the death and suffering of thousands of people,and would enslave people to false religious beliefs?.
yes there are good points and principles in the bible, mainly the words of jesus, who didn't write any of it himself.. but a few good principles don,t outweight the bad done in the name of the bible through the past 2000 years.. the society has tried to follow the bible, and take it for real .in doing so they have had to take on beliefs and ideas that can ultimatly cause harm.. it is like me reading a instruction manuel for my car, that is a fake written by a non-expert.if i follow that manuel , although it may not be all wrong, some instuctions could be in error and cause damage to my car and risk injury to other people.. if people then come along after and say "well its not the manuel thats wrong , you've just misunderstood it , look if you do it this way,that way..".

FLAG NIGHT AT THE KINGDOM HALL
by Danielson inbeing tne sarcastic semi-doubter bastard i am ,i thought i would satisfy a rebellious inkling in my soul i've wanted to satisfy at the kingdom hall from earliest teenhood i wore a flag pin under my suit jacket!whoa i thought, maybe i'll get caught!
that made it irrisistable!so yesterday i did it!
funny beneath all the smiles of my brothers and sisters was the beast of indignation waiting to surface if the sight of the monstorous abomination would surface before their eyes!

How about this: Hang a flag outside the hall. Tell an elders wife you think she has a nice ass. End a prayer w/ "in the name of the father, the son, and holy ghost, amen" that really gets their attention. Go out pioneering and give out playboys instead of awakes.
Hey, I'm proud to be an apostate.
Sometimes, it's good to be bad. And I am very good!!

The bigger dick policy
by Norm inas a george carlin fan i keep thinking he has got a point when he says that men are generally very insecure about their dick size.
countries go to war if they think someone got bigger dicks than them.. lately there seem to have been such a lesser scale war here on the board.
the problem in this particular case is that the ones who quite obviously got bigger dicks were women!.

I read an article in Prevention magazine, that for every 20 lbs a guy looses, his penis gains an inch in length.

Movie that could describe your experience as a jw?
by Nicolas inpersonnally, i thing that the movie "the matrix" and the movie "the truman show" really describe my experience in the wbts.
when i discovered the truth about the "truth", my perception of the reality became really different.
all that i have been taught was just a big lie.

Tim---
If you happen across a site that says naked pics of Britney you know you're in trouble, my virus scan interrupted, said 'this is a known trojan', good think I had protection.

My dream place to live is Santa Catalina Island off the California coast, it's beautiful, peaceful, and extremely romantic there.
But I am also feeling an urge to relocate to Arizona, somewhere hot and sunny, where there's no snow or the freezing tundra.

Sasha is a 50-55 lb cat, she is tame, but she still is a wild animal and I respect that! I got her from a lady when she was 6mths old. I do not own her, per se, she owns me, and when her mind is made up, I can't change it. She's not a good cat to have if you have other animals[for anything smaller than she, she sees as food.] She is very lovable, purrs louder and deeper than any little housecat could, and she'll "head-butt" me to show affection. She loves to play, loves water, she's like a big kitten.
She is not an endangered species[yet, anyway] and it is legal to keep a serval as a pet[at least in NY, that is].
Any other questions?
