  Rugby: Lions or All Blacks?

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  are there any brits [english, irish, welsh, or scotts = the lions ] on the site partial to the game of rugby?

  for those with no idea what rugby is - it's a little like american football, without the stops, without the protective gear, played in winter, in the rain, hail and sleet [well last saturday anyway].

  15 players to a side on the field at a time [unless someone is yellow cards or red carded].

  A cavers perspective [should be 'Friends' forum]

  by jimakazi in

  i rememeber a trip with my parents to the waitomo caves in nz when i was about 10. when the guide spoke of how slowly the caves formed, how old they were, my parent were shaking their heads with the knowing superioirty of jw truth.

  what they beleived was the very limestone had been created by the flood compessing the sea bed under all that extra water, as had all the coal deposits etc.

  i started wild caving when i was 15 years old.

  The Mosaic Law and JW's

  by jimakazi in

  jesus did away with the mosaic law.. .

  on this basis jw's eat pork if they wish, do not have to maintain a beard, and do not observe the sabbath.. .

  however the jw's seem to apply aspects of the mosaic law when it suits them - for instance they often quote it to support their postion on blood.

  We are NOT appostate

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not to rain on the collective parade but what makes people here think they are appostate?

  most of us have come to a rational conclusion that the jw / wtb is directed by a bunch of old men not directed by the holy spirit, is fallable, and cynically changes doctrine.

  so to be against that is not to be appostate.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  someone on the jwd forum asked for a top 10 places to visit in nz - and si couldn't keep to 10 so here my top dozen.. i personally love the south island, and the west coast is magical.

  you fly in to wellington, take the ferry to picton, south island, then head for the west coast.

  [1] if it's summer head for kiateriteri 1st which has nz's best beach, and the able tasman national park.

  Meat eating preditors will eat grass like a lamb!

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am always a little pi***d when i see jw illustrations showing lions and tigers in the close vacinity of samll children, lambs and other meaty treats with no safety barriers.

  [why this is paradise is beyound me - these anaimals smell].. so if we assume an intelligent creator, why would he create large meat eating preditors if he really ment them to eat grass?

  every thing about their make up is about specialistation, from teeth, to jaws, to how their stomachs work.

  Why do active witnesses frequent the site?

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm somewhat currious why active witnesses appear to frequent the site, and if the information on this site causes any to "fade away" or "dis-associate"?.

  personally if i have known 18 years ago what i know now i would have been a lot more active in trying to convince all i cared about to leave, instead of fading away [gone with a bang so to speak].

  it's funny how when you are in it you can't see it for what it is.

  An idea [Postive Action].

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having only recently discovered this site and finally having at my finger tips [the internet is great] compelling evidence that the jw doctines are nothing but the work of men i feel a need to take action.

  people i care about are still wasting their lives.

  [1] i would like to see some "ready made" resource's that have factual evidence, well articulated, and formated ready for printing that we could use to help current jw's see what is going on.

  New to site - letting it out

  by jimakazi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is interesting to read the comments of so many who are no longer "in the truth".

  i have not associated for 18 years but as my parents are still very much "in the truth".

  i never disassociated myself as i feel to do so is to acknowledge some form of official status over me.
