  kudos to potleg who came up with the idea!

  can you just imagine if the wbts came out with its own line of clothing for the faithful dubs?

  potleg, that is just a wicked idea, a line of jw clothing, oh god can't you just see it.

  I thought of a little section on Sainsbury's chilled counter between the Halal and the vegetarian products, the ''Suitable For JW Range'' , eg, Black Pudding made with 'blood fractions approved by the HLC''

  Women What do you Look for in Men

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  right so being single and being free to look and date the male species i'm sad to announce that there really is no much of a choice out there.

  perhaps i'm not looking in the right places, or perhaps i just don't do it for these men.

  anyway what do you look for in a guy.

  Terrorist backlash - and so it starts

  my mum lives next door to a little newsagents shop run by an asian family.

  i used to live there, and i had the phone number of mr badat because sometimes people used to try and break in.

  mr badat died last year and a younger moslem family took over.

  I think the bombers should be made to see what damage they have caused for their own people.

  sadly, I don't think they care, if anything their actions are having a desired ''knock-on'' effect. When these terrorists carried out their first attacks, they were completely unconcerned about who their victims would be - I don't know the statistics of the victims, but it's a fair bet that there were Muslims amongst them.

  "Jehovah God" wording

  by carla in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do jw's even realize that to 'outsiders' the wording of "jehovah god" makes it sound like they are trying to distinguish between 'other gods' and 'jehovah god'?

  sorry, if i'm not clear enough.

  jw's i've talked to cannot seem to understand the question.

  Yep - get your point Carla. Hearing the name 'Jehovah' somehow automatically links one's thinking to the JW and once the name 'Jehovah' is established as the true name of GOD, well.... I think the use of God's personal name is to isolate the JW as the only TRUE religion.

  Good point Sonnyboy, I never thought of that.

  oooh, quite a confusing question (for me) - obviously all the even numbers are correct....but then I thought about 7 and 1...(It's Sunday and the pubs aren't open yet).

  7) The cost of updating - be cheaper in the long-run, the Congregation wouldn't 'own' any Old Light. And that's ANOTHER thing - if JW OWN any old publications, could they be disfellowshipped for having apostate literature?

  1) Half-Inching - when new publications are released New Light is revealed, there would be a danger of the ''Thinkers'' (Percentage?) in the Congregation nicking the Apostate stuff Old Light.

  Same as tetrapod - knew it was the song - great song.

  For all you Brits who can't place it (I think it's not so well known here) - Cadbury's used it for the 'Drifter' advert (loooong time ago)

  Three ducks walk into a bar. "Say, what's your name?" asked the bartender to the first duck. "Huey," he replied. "How's your day been, Huey?" "Great. Lovely day. Had a ball. Been in and out of puddles all day. "What else could a duck want?" "Oh. That's nice," said the bartender. Then he says to the second duck, "Hi. And what's your name?" "Dewey," came the answer from duck number two. "So how's your day been, Dewey?" he asked. "Great. Lovely day. I've had a ball, too. Been in and out of puddles all day myself. What else could a duck want?" So the bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So,you must be Louie?" No," she said, batting her eyelashes....."I'm Puddles."

  What to do??

  by RichieRich in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  think about this for a moment.. jws believe that their relentless work now will be rewarded with paradise later.. however, in an effort to get into paradise, many jws do nothing but work, and serve god.

  i know my mother does.. so i wonder, what does she think she's going to do in paradise?

  what is there that she likes, that will occupy her eternally??.

  what's the strangest or most exotic food you've ever 'experienced'?.

  for me, i suppose, it was badly cooked (i cooked it myself, say no more) crocodile....i'd like to try swan, and if i can find a loophole in the law, i will.

  Wow - just got here and what a brilliant read - thanks for all your responses!!!

  Billygoat - alligator (tasted like fish with a chicken texture), - yes, that's how I remember it, but fish that had gone a tad 'off'

  Bryan- what's 'swamp rabbit'?

  Carol - lol, my son cried too (he was about 8 ) when I told him it was a budgie (quail)

  Richie - have always fancied squirrel (I should have taken the opportunity while at Center Parcs). Have eaten deer - reindeer, springbok - but I'd really like to try MUNTJAC. tried Bison and thought it too strong a taste.

  Katie - Got to hand it to you, a brave thing to admit. Very wise to go all the way to America to avoid anyone you know seeing you eat at a McDonalds! I live quite too near a McDonalds, and it's like the Pied Piper to the kids around here.

  Frog - you WERE warned, lol

  So what was God's address then?

  by MidwichCuckoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, according to genesis 1v1, ''in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth'' - so what i want to know is if god lives in the heavens now, where did he live before he created them?

  was he just renting a place?

  maybe his nan's spare room?

  He was a floater in nonspace, anchorless, of no fixed address, a purposeless, amorphous whisp of an elemental, looking for something to give worship meaning to his darkness

  He was jolly lucky He wasn't arrested then.
