Her dying wishes were for him to become a Jehovah's Witness, as she had been for most of her life, and to see him married. He tied the knot with Mani weeks before his mother passed away and six months after the death of his father, pianist and bandleader John L Nelson.

I Don't Think Prince Will Be Appointed an Elder Anytime Soon!
by Seeker4 inprince was just on american idol.
pretty sexy songs he did, with two women who sure weren't dressed to be on the tms!
he's just got to be too smart and creative to hang in with the witnesses for too much longer.

Has Anybody Heard This Rumor?
by metatron ini spoke with a "loyal" person with strong connections to the katrina rebuilding oversight.
they claimed that.
the society has spent well over 100 million bucks on rebuilding.

yeah, but I thought if they rebuild a good little dubbies house, they make the sucker fork over the insurance check to the society. So, either way it's a net gain.
blah,

HAW...KEE...HAW....KEE Anyone else here a hockey fan?
by jgnat ini live in a sports city where hockey is the national sport.
being an oil town, we've experienced the flush of success and the misery of defeat.
we haven't seen the stanley cup since our heyday in 1990. we're so game-crazy, the city's motto is, "city of champions.".

I go to University of Wisconsin -- Madison, home of the US College National Champions!
unfortunately, I think hockey is like soccer on ice. And soccer is the most boring thing ever invented. :-)

The daughter of a prostitute.
by greendawn inif asked: would you marry a prostitute most people would say no, but if asked would you marry a prostitute's daughter that doesn't like this game and has never been in it, would you do it, to have a prostitute as a mother in law and grand mother of your children?
.
i personally wouldn't do it hard though it may be on her decent daughter.

hey, I saw the Da vinci code. If hookers were good enough for jesus, they are good enough for any of us.

I have doubts, as there is such thing as insurance the society has tons.
--------------------------------------
No they don't. One of their more lucrative scams is that the WT acts as its own re-insurer. Basically, every congregation in the US buys their insurance from ... the Watchtower! The basic idea is the following: The Society collects a monthly premium from every congregation. In the event a local disaster destroys a handful of kingdom halls, no biggie: They pay out enough to replace the destroyed hall. Scam works until a "big" event destroys LOTS of Kingdom halls. Then, they are screwed.
But, $100 million seems a tad high. Figure each KH costs $250,000 to replace (being extremely generous here). That's like 400 Kingdom Halls. I really doubt that many Kingdom Halls were destroyed. But, who knows... -

Any question that most witnesses are whacked? (video)
by Jourles inyet another example of ludicrousness.
obviously this was a homemade video production.
it came from a jw chain email.

yeah, but I thought Jeh-hobbie was in control of the world. Guess the dubbie that made this should have went to the special talk....

The DaVinci Code -- overreaction or a chance to rumble?
by cruzanheart inhere's an excerpt from a bbc.co.uk article i just read:.
"the holy koran recognises jesus as a prophet.
what the book says is an insult to both christians and muslims," maulana mansoor ali khan, general secretary of the all-india sunni jamiyat-ul-ulema, told the reuters news agency.

Interestingly, they downplay the Council of Nicea, which is potentially more explosive than over-analyzing Da Vinci's Last Supper. If the Bible-bangers found out that a PAGAN (Constantine) picked the books in the Bible, they might be a tad more reasonable.

Reading WT & Awake for X years = College Education
by under_believer inhas anybody ever heard any witnesses utter that old saying "reading the magazines for 10 years [or whatever] is equivalent to getting a college education?
" a couple of things are amusing about this.
one is its utter and complete falsehood--what a crock!

Under education the person actually listed graduate of Theocratic Ministry School. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gee, and here I'm wasting my time in graduate school... I remember another statement about the quality of the Awakes that was a convention staple. Supposedly, some "big man" at Oxford or Cambridge said the contents of the Awake were on par with what someone would get from their university. Of course, the guys title is NEVER mentioned, which leads me to beleive he was lilely head broom-pusher. -silent
