You are making me jealous - one vice that has completely passed me by. You know when you visit the GP and they ask if you smoke? Hang my head in shame as I whisper 'no'. How inadequate do I feel? On the PLUS side, I can roll a decent fag.

Superstitious JW Nonsense

by 95stormfront in

one of my jw relatives was relating to me another one of their superstitious nonsense stories designed to demonize every damn thing that doesn't fall into an approved wt list.

she was telling me about a her friend, who upon cleaning a relatives house, found a voodoo doll with a prayer to demons written on paper that it took an hour to burn.

she also related to me how in the hour it took to burn the demon paper prayer, everyone around them getting sick and falling into convulsions.. i guess she was a little perturbed that i was .

I missed out on the whole 'Smurf' thing - gosh, am I miffed.

Well, Dubism and superstition - it's a bit like watching someone, watching someone else, watching ''Tales From The Crypt''.

As a Junior/unimportant Dub, I remember a few stories about dodgy pictures / paintings. One day an elder gave a talk -I haven't a CLUE what it was about, but then he started to recount about an exorcism (he'd performed) in a house with dodgy, demonised wall hangings/pictures that was freezing cold (maybe ''The Exorcist'' was still showing in cinemas and you just KNOW how they like to keep up with current trends) . All I was thinking ''Bad taste in art and dodgy central heating''.

does anyone know what the latin word (if there is one) is for apostate??.

anybody in who knows other languages, please chime in with what apostate is in your native tongue.... thank you!

MidwichCuckoo

And if it was in a different language, it would have more special meaning

hmmmm - special?

How about WELSH? gwrthgilwyr - not often you see an 11-letter word with only one vowel in, now THAT'S special. And I'd even have a go at pronouncing it after half a bottle of Port.

Ever thought about all the ways Jw's judge?

by AK - Jeff in

it seems that it is done to elevate themselves, isn't it?

worldly people are;.

all immoral.

It seems that it is done to elevate themselves, isn't it?

I couldn't agree more. I also get the impression that they feel they have a God-Given right to judge others, yet will condemn others for doing the same.

Anti-Witnessesing: Passive Agressive Style Effective for Quotes

by Quotes in

well, they came magazine selling door-knocking ingathering and judgeing witnessing today.

but first, a quick background.... my wife and i have a investment property 90 minutes away from our home (a mistake btw; always invest closer to your home!

) and we've been there (here) full time for the past several days doing some renovations.

MidwichCuckoo

Am I the only one that sees the parallel here? I ask about why god delays and allows children to die when he has the power to stop it, and she delays here response until next time, even though she has the power to answer my question. People really do create gods in their own image.]

Brilliant. .... and I think we create Playstation / X-box games to imitate God too.
