Yeah, just keep posting & I'll keep coming.
A big pooh-pooh to those who say boo !!!!!!
it is pretty pathetic for some people that claim they don't like the content/style/quantity of your threads and then to constantly dog you in them.
i think it takes a decent measure of talent and thought to consistently post interesting questions that generate good responses and from the number of replies/reads you get per thread, i would say others think similarly.. even your critics cannot seem to resist opening and reading what you write.
personally, i think they are jealous and frustrated that simple questions generate more interest here than their long well-researched essays.

a devout jehovah's witness died after she refused a blood transfusion which could have saved her life.she had undergone an angiogram which involved inserting a needle into her thigh.
this triggered an internal bleeding.. read the whole story and other articles about jw's & blood on http://www.watchtowerinformationservice.org/.

It is usually grey/damp/wet/smelly outside..... hey, thats just the people

i still remember my first talk pretty vividly.
i was 8 or 9 at the time, and as a kid that was "born in the truth", it was only natural that i should join the school at that time.
i remember getting my talk slip a good three months before i was to deliver it, and my talk was prepared a full month before the date (this was the only time i had such advanced preparation.
Never did one - refused to. For me, I felt it was not right to put myself through that stress. A stupid ritual that has no scriptural presence !
I remember one brother who was taking medication and forced himself to partake in teacher-training .... he used to get into a right state after his little platfrom stunts. So much for Gods' holy spirit eh !
sometimes, the gender of a poster is relatively easy to deduce due to their style of posting, and, dare i say it, their choice of vocabulatory.
but sometimes it is difficult to know if you are "talking" to a man or a woman (or homosexual).
ok, right away, i hear protests of "what the heck does it matter?
.... yer talkin' to me?
I was just picking my nose, rolling it, then flicking it at a potted plant.
Before then I pissed on the carpet next to the toilet and left the seat up.
Forgot to take the dishes out to the kitchen. Instead, left them where I ate.
Then had the burning desire to trap the cat under a rug, fart and close all exits !
A man, me, never.
many people on this board expressedthat they dont want to live forever.
when do you want to die?.
for me: 1. the day i cant take care of my bodily functions and am paralyzed from the neck down or 2. when i am 100years old.
Preferably never, but oh go on then if you insist.
Erm.. hang on a minute.. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm..
Nope, rather not at the moment thanks.
my mom walked away from the org, disillusioned by the wt, never da or difd so occasionally still gets the mags delivered and a warning to hurry up back before she dies at armageddon.
shes a peaceable person so has never rocked the boat, doesnt want to lose her jw family, her brother is an elder and has never once phoned or called to speak to her since she stopped attending meetings.
anyway heres the vent: .
Tell the woman with her head the clouds to ph##k off !
That usually does the trick.
Or invite her round, pop some acid in her tea and let her really see the demons.
Talk about a lack of taste on her behalf ! Her name wouldn't be Gill would it?
as a youngster raised in the "truth", i had my questions.
but anytime you ask a question that is unanswerable, you are told to just wait on jehovah.
as time passes, i believe that we store up a number of unanswerable questions that forces one to eventually think about everything.
In all honesty, insanity. Couldn't handle the pressure and the guilt trips that chased me everywhere I moved and then drifted into a sexual relationship with a friend off the back of a break down, and then just walked away.
Later examined my belief system and the TRUTH(?) and found that I could not bare many of the teachings... blood, prophecy, Christian unity (so-called), having to log hours and do ritualistic ministry, etc
Pretty much the same as most of you here I would expect.
cough cough...geesh who enjoys bonfire night?
acctually i do, fireworks have been lighting up the sky since saturday, apart from the dang bangers i enjoy the rest like any kid does.
so happy bonfire night, iv'e been wondering who to throw on the bonfire this year...any suggestions?
I believe it is combined with bone-fire ... a Pagan celebration during this month where piles of bones are burnt ??
anyone read the book ??.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/asin/0954018206/qid=1036410559/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/026-9419984-9154863.
this book is an honest and thought provoking examination of the watchtower society, its teachings, and its membership; a must-read for anyone who is in contact with jehovahs witnesses.
I would hope so ... although why not check the .com addy and see if they have it in stock ?
the fleabites received for my speaking the absolute truth, almost entirely free from speculation, in:.
the thread found by clicking here would be hilarious if the matter at hand was not so serious.
i guess the biters generally display the poor reading and reasoning powers, and the huge desire to hero-worship ("my jehovah can beat up your jesus") that got so many embroiled in the cult of lies in the first place.... .
