  Aposta-men, Do You Know How to Sew?

  by White Dove in

  2. friends

  the men in the coven i was in knew how to use a sewing machine quite well.

  it was required for first degree work that everyone make a ritual garment.

  some covens in the assembly had to make their own tabards, too.

  is there anyone besides me who would like to get a group together for dinner, maybe at a local tgi fridays?.

  there's some faces i would really like to meet again.. i don't think that here in the dallas/north texas area, we've had a gathering in a while.. so if you have any suggestions for a particular day?

  we could see when it would be convenient for most people.

  Just for MEN

  last time i went to cvs pharmacy, they had a big a sale sign for this haircolor for men.. do men really care if the are getting grey hair?

  for women, the pressure is to do every thing you can to hide it, if your hair starts.

  to turn grey.

  I don't have as much respect for people who color their hair, and yes, I'm aware than the majority of women do.

  Ruining it for everyone else

  i was chatting with a born-again friend of mine, who just moved to north carolina.

  we worked in the post office together and he got transfered to nc.. we were talking about witnesses and he told me that at his office there is a jw.

  this is what happened.. at the office they have a cd player and so they decided they would take turns playing a particular style of music each day.. my friend said, the jw had no problems with rap and its explicit lyrics, or the rock with his sex and drugs, but the moment they play contemporary christian music she caught a fit and they shut down the whole thing because of her complaint.

  Religious music shouldn't be played at work. That should be common sense.

  Nice bike. I almost bought an M50, and still want one. I'll probably get one in the next few years.

  JW's say Worldly People are Better Off DEAD

  by UnDisfellowshipped in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jehovah's witnesses and the "better off dead" doctrine.

  for decades the official jw teaching was that "worldly people" (non-jws) would be "better off dead" because "the wages sin pays is death" and once you have died, you have paid for your sins, so then jehovah is free to resurrect you (as long as you had not committed the "unforgivable sin").. whereas, if you had not died and had remained a worldly "unbeliever" when armageddon arrived, jehovah would have destroyed you and doomed you to everlasting destruction in gehenna.. this "better off dead" doctrine never did make any sense to me.

  why would jehovah resurrect you if you died the day before armageddon, but if you stayed alive until the next day you would be destroyed and doomed forever to the lake of fire?

  I see quotation marks, but no citation. Got one?
