when i first came to this discussion board, i posted a thread called "brother where art thou?
" http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=21053&site=3 in which i wrote a personal letter to my brother.
although, i have been away from the jws for about 4 years...i had just discovered that my older brother had also left the jws and was posting on this forum.

i think sometimes those are funnier than any joke, after all it actually happend!.
well off the top of my head, one thing that happend to me was i slipped going in to my history class in hs, and ended up looking like i was doing a split.. i know that's not much but my class and teacher got a kick out of it at the time.
Dammit Larc,
You made me laugh too much.

Hey Intro,
When I was a little kid I shit in my pants at the kingdom hall in the bathroom...my friend was getting a real kick out of hearing me farting...anyhow, I was quite embarassed when I realized the last one wasn't gas.

Hey Larc,
My mother used to clip coupons. I only use coupons given to me at the grocery store.
But I am curious why so many people are adamant about NOT using them; that's so hilarious.

just watching a programme about the gospel accounts and one thing struck me - the notion that jesus sweat blood.
apparently it was the stress of his impending death.. now, as a sceptic, the problems i have with this account are:.
it's medically impossible to sweat blood.. there is a disease (hematohidrosis) where plasma cells can color the sweat to make it appear to be 'as if blood'.. jesus was supposed to be perfect!
You may wish to correct me if wrong, but I don't believe the Bible at all states Jesus was perfect...
...yet another inference.

the contradiction below is just one among a great many which show that the bible cannot be trusted to give an accurate account of jesus life.. mark believes that jesus cursed the fig tree before he drove the merchants from the temple:.
the next day as they were leaving bethany, jesus..said to the tree, "may no one ever eat fruit from you again.
" (mark 11:12-14).
Good point Gweedo!
And just how do the dead bury the dead?

i was just surfing and looked at the official jw site.
there was a picture of a nun on the front page and it said: is there a sound basis for your beliefs?
if you click on it you get this link, to a watchtower article: http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/2001/8/1/article_01.htm.
There was an article about prophecy in the WT a couple of years back...very similarly it debunked the WT itself!
Remember that one?
Where it showed that the Bible could be used to predict any number of things (by Jewish rabbis, e.g. the assasination of JFK) according to the whims of the reader?!

I liked Roman Holiday (Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn) and It Happened One Night.

shoo-fly pie .
one pioneer meeting during the co's visit, we were asked for some illustrations we could use in the ministry work.
although i knew it was a little obscure, i raised my hand and said "in the ministry, i have used a shoo-fly pie to illustrate christendom's satanic message.
interesting thoughts...
People are prone to ignore the obvious under social pressure.
Hence the prevalence of the 'bleeding rhinocerous on the carpet' analogy. The dinner guests come in one by one and comment on the drapes, the tablecloth, the appetizers, but NOT the bleeding rhinocerous in the middle of the floor.
Even though they have to step over it to cross the room!
Ever had a conversation like this, when you wait and wonder who is going to first mention the fact most important and obvious?
