LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL SCHOLAR.......what up man? Ummm...you better go talk to the elders........I did and got pretty interesting answer of them trying to make it work. They said "secular history is correct to a point" they basically said, Jerusalem was destroyed or dead in "Gods eyes" in 607.....the physical destruction could have happened anytime. First time I heard that twist...........good way to CYA !!

Does the King Kong movie have racist overtones?

hey everybody,.

was having a discussion with a co-worker about the new kk movie.

he asked if i saw it already.
jula71

Racist?? IT'S A MOVIE!! People like to complain and point fingers. If King Kong was a blond monkey and the woman was black, the same people would say the ape is harassing a minority woman, another example of the "man" keeping her down. Sometimes you can't make anybody happy...... Can't we all just get along?!?!?!

imagine that you won a couple of million $, would this have a huge bearing on you or would you just make slight ajustments to your life?.

i'd be the same person, but with more resources, that's all !!!!.

i'd be more "me" and wouldn't change into someone else because i became rich.. how about you?

I'll let you know after I win!

The fear of "spontaneous sex"

when i was young and single and a witness.

i remember often the fear older people had of putting young people together alone.

not just for dating, but even leaving them in a car while an older couple went to a return visit.

LMAO...for some reason it made me think of the old "youth" book and the chapter on the big "M". The chapter I dreaded durin "family studies." One of my fav. quotes........

Another thing that may be helpful is to see to it that your clothing does not unnecessarily cause friction with the sexual organs. Before retiring, try to see that what you read or talk about has a calming effect rather than the opposite. So, too, with any eating that you do at this time. Some have even found that if they limit the amount of food and drink they consume before retiring they sleep more soundly and are not so inclined to be aroused sexually.
Who knew? A pizza and tighty whities before bed could be "arousing".

who is responsible for food at the proper time?

could it be the fds mis-interpeted jehovahs word yet again.

the blood problem poses another chink in the fds credablity.
jula71

WRONG? their never wrong, just get "new light." But seriously, the blood issue holds them accountable for many deaths that occurred from not being allowed to receive blood fractions now deemed "acceptable."

Chewing Gum at KH

the elders frown upon chewing gum at the kingdom hall and we have had a locals needs part where it was mentioned.

is/was chewing gum at your hall a no-no?
jula71

YUP! Attendants would be on the look out and tap people on the shoulder and tell them to spit or swallow. Something about it being the long lost 11th commandment. and of course, big no-no at the assemblies.

anyone out there getting an xbox 360 tomorrow, 11/22, the first day it goes on sale.. what are your thoughts on the system?
jula71

Looks like I'm selling my XBOX to put $$ towards a 360. The system looks awesome. But I recommend springing for the $400 model. It comes with the hard drive, wireless controllers and the hi-def cable. well worth it. Can't wait for HALO3!!

Negative JW's
by pc in

2. friends
it's funny to me to notice, for the most part jw's are such negative people.

when i speak with my dad or brother who are staunch jw's the glass is always half empty.

everything is depressing.
jula71

Negative?....let's explore, we live on a Earth ruled by Satan, everyone will be killed when the end comes (even people we like), who knows when the end will come, have a sucky job with little or no money because they never went to college, have to go to 5 meetings a week, have to wake up early on weekends to knock on stranger's doors, ....I don't see any reasons to be negative!!
