Is that "new light" that I can masterbate? Were the elders too consumed by dealing with "masterbating monkeys" so much that they just said it was up to a Christian's Cons?
I remember when my younger brother "turned himself in" for chronic masterbating.... they met with him once a week to talk about it and said he should get married as soon as possible. Telling someone 17 to get married ASAP is unconsciable.

Were You Always Afraid To Do Something Wrong As A Witness?
by minimus in.
jws are always being reminded that you "could" stumble someone.
you had to continuously question yourself about possibly offending another (weak) christian's conscience.....were you always worried that you were going to get into trouble because you might've screwed up somehow??.

did snakes have legs
by tijkmo inquestions from readers.
did the serpent lose legs or feet as means of movement as a result of the divine curse recorded at genesis 3:14?.
at genesis 3:14 we are told: "and jehovah god proceeded to say to the serpent: ?because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild beasts of the field.

How long is a cotton picking minute?
by Elsewhere in.
sometimes i hear someone say: "hold on just one cotton pick'in minute....".
i'm wondering, is a "cotten picking minute" a "bored" minute that feels like a long time or is it a "busy" minute that seems to fly by?

Just as a curiousity...how many on this board are northern's vs. southerners????
South of the Mason Dixon line please...and if you don't know where that is answer this question to determine...
If you walk into a resturant in your city and order an iced tea and the waitress brings it to you...if it is already sweet tea, you are in the south. If you must add sweetner you are in the north. -

I hated myself and sometimes cried myself to sleep at night knowing I would die at Armegeddon because I masterbated, had lustful thoughts during a wet dream, or said swear words.... I mean really at 16 I went 1 1/2 years without touching myself....A sexually charged 16 year old male suppossed to deny himself any sexual release....

Is It Right To Tip Your Hat To A Lady?
by Englishman ini've always thought it to be a charming and old-fashioned custom.
my grandfather always did it.
whenever he was out walking with me tagging along, he would always doff his hat whenever he passed a lady coming the other way, or whenever he he stopped to chat.

Does it just not cease to amaze everyone how they have time to write about this crap? I mean really was "hat tipping" a raging epidemic of pagan activity that needed to be addressed?
And these are the same people who mock the Jewish leaders of their day when they were trying to determine if you blew your nose while being sick on the sabbath if that constituted work.
Petty and legalistic requirements like these make me want to vomit. When Jesus returns he going to come down here an kick their AS***S for being so stupid. I think Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was right....Christ only wanted us to be "Excellent to one another".....that's it....not a lot of laws. How much time did Jesus spend talking about THE ORGANIZATION? NONE!!!!! -

Bullies
by Nancy Drake inhi ya'll.. i'm looking for advice on how to handle a neighborhood child that is bullying my son and other children in my apartment complex.
he is very mean, takes my son's stuff, tries to trip him on his bike by putting a stick into his spokes, pulling his underwear up, cussing at him.
at first i tried to talk to him nicely, asked him to please not do mean things to other children.

I know you are looking for helpful advice....
1. You can try and approach the kids parents, even if they only speak a little English. They more than likely will crack their kids around a fair bit since my experience with green card families is that they will do ANYTHING to not have the police get involved.
2. If you don't want to approach them or it doesn't work, please call the police and file a report so the officers can at least stop over and say something.
3. If your boy or anyone else's on this board is being harrassed at school the principals are under obligation to provide a safe harbor. You may check out the www.hrc.org website for more information. The Jamie Nebuzny vs. Board of Education, Wisconsin Superior Court is of particular interest since most educators from all over the USA are taught about this lawsuit and the effects of bulling on school districts and educator responsibilities. Basically, the school wasn't providing a safe envioment for young Nebuzny...his parents repeatedly approached school officials who didn't do much and pretty much said well Mr. Nebuzny is possibly gay he may have to just "deal with it". Needless to say this attitute cost the school district in excess of $ 5,000,000 w/ legal fees. It was a landmark ruling in school bullying. -

Are the Demons Really Everywhere?
by professor inour witness family was obsessed with demonism.. at a very early age, i was introduced to strange stories of demonism.
a brother in the congregation had brought home a souvenier doll from a tropical island as a gift for his daughter.
the daughter would talk about how the doll would come to life, but the stories were dismissed and attributed to the child's imagination.

Young People Ask "Should we pick up hitchikers?"
Hopped up on Jehoba Juice these two clowns eh?
You would think with the end so close the demons would have more important things to do other than possess smurfs, fling CD's around a room, or take up residence in a Harry Potter book. -

A comment I heard tonight
by Generic Man intonight i heard one of the most cruel and twisted comments i've ever heard at the platform.
the topic was the apocalypse and whether or not children will be slaughtered.
through one side of his mouth, the po stated that the bible is not clear on the matter, while out the other side he pointed to all those old testament accounts where children were killed.

She asked to be shown biblical reference Schizm....not a moral judgement.
So either post the book, chapter, verse, or quit railing against her.
Or simply say you don't know. -

So I assume that the insulin and hormones are for your diabetes and thyroid issues repectively. Also, I assume the Diovan and Zestoretic are for high blood pressure? Or are they for something else? You can send me an email if you don't want to divulge any addl. details. But with Wellbutrin I can assure you these are not placebo's given your health history unless you are in some university study...but given your history you shouldn't be in a case study. Given your age and medications for assumably high blood pressure give me pause. Do you experience migranes or headaches?
SSRI's are very effective drugs at treating depression and will take 2 to 4 weeks for you to really feel the results so please stay with the program and OVERCOMMUNICATE with your doctor. Your brain is a mass of electrical and chemical reactions so please don't dismiss any side effect or feeling you may have and discuss ad nausem with your doctor.
Let me know if I can help :) -

Cell phones.....
by lavendar ini was talking with my jw relative, and the topic of cell phones briefly came up.
i got the impression she thought they were "evil" or something.

It used to be that if you had a cell phone you were very important.
To be really important now, is to not have the need to carry one. Someone else can carry my phone.
That's my new mantra :) LOL
