  The secret things men hate about being men

  by FlyingHighNow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  these are hastily thought up facts and then some stereo-typical reasons, in response to sam's why men seldom get depressed thread.

  feel free to add ones that have been missed.. men:.

  have to shave everyday or they look like miami vice wannabe's.. have to register for the draft.. have to keep up that macho image for their buds.. have to pretend to love beer.. to them, size is an important issue.

  1) i think it's ridiculous to tell anyone when and how to use something they paid for ( computers and internet service ).

  2) i think it's ridiculous to tell married couples how to act in the bedroom.

  3) i think it's ridiculous to tell people what kinda cars they should buy ( 4 door for fieldservice ).

  I think it's rediculous that an all knowing, all powerful god would allow millions of it's valuable creatures to suffer and die...many times, an awful death.....all so that it's reputation not be tarnished. Hmmmmm.

  Mad Sweeney, Outlaw may be your DICK, but he's not mine..(he does seem big headed sometimes though)

  I digress, if that's possible. Since Dan's wife is getting out of the hospital, is it too late to send flowers?

  Conservative America and "The Meaning of the Flag-Draped Coffin"

  by SweetBabyCheezits in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i received a mass-fwd email from a fellow employee (down here in baptist country) entitled the meaning of the flag-draped coffin.

  i'm pasting the intro to it below the full email can be enjoyed by clicking the link.. all americans should be given this lesson.

  those who think that america is an arrogant nation should really reconsider that thought.

  i ran into a father and his 10 yr old jw daugther .

  i asked for the mag's and started anti= witnessing.

  i'm guessing the man was about 40 yrs old and ask him how long he's been a member of the wts.?

  How about turning to the child and quoting the scripture:

  1 Peter 3:15

  If, out of respect to the parent, you still want to plant a seed. The parent might catch on to it as well.

  When the parent says: "Well I'm ready to make a defense", then invite him/her back without the youngin', and give 'em hell, if that's what you need to do.

  Firm believer that it is non of our business to try and undermind a parent.

  Does Jehovah hate beards?

  by brotherunsure in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has the watchtower ever rationalized their obsession with depilation or claimed there was a biblical basis for banning beards, or is it simply because jehovah's corporation/faithful and discrete slave says so?.

  Ok, here we go....

  I no longer participate in the JW business. I know that many families have been destroyed, but I know that most have not. And many of those that have not been "destroyed" are better off than where they were coming from.....or, going. Yes, this can be debated.

  It is wrong to tell a 10 year old child, in front of her father, that he is misleading or harming her by what he is teaching her. If it is an actual case of physical or sexual abuse, then the police should be called.

  You all know this.

  It is getting close to the "Danny Hazsard" (sp) approach.

  I lean toward the idea that information like that is the responsibility of the parent.

  There is certainly an "empowerment" of sorts when a person breaks free from the cult, but that doesn't mean good judgement is thrown out the window.
