  Well done Brother Carlo!! LMAO! I love this one from the "secret pages":

  A question from a Concerned Sister.

  Dear bro CO
  I'm quite new on the Net, and I'm hoping you will be able to help me.

  Lately, I've noticed some changed and strange behavior among the young sisters at the Kingdom Hall(we have quite a few in their lately teens and early 20s). It seems that many have been missing meetings lately. When questioned they all say the same thing, that they're at the ice cream parlor. I must confess I've a bit of a "sweet tooth" myself. However, it seems to me that too much sweets like this can only have a harmful effect on their bodies.

  Something rather odd occurred the other day. A few of the young sisters were visiting our home. After a short while, they all left in a hurry, once again, to get some ice cream. As they were leaving, one young sister dropped a scrap of paper from the notebook she had with her. On it, there was a word my husband and I had never seen before. It is spelled, "Fellatio". We thought it might be some type of new dance, or perhaps one of these musical groups which are all the rage among the youth.

  She explained(although rather quickly and nervously) that it was a brand new ice cream flavor from Italy. Could it be that she somehow knew deep down of the potential harm all this sugar could be doing to her young body? If so, it would seem that she and the other young ones are too busy satisfying their cravings to think of the consequences.

  I'm really concerned about these young sisters. Could anyone give some advice on how to help them? Perhaps some of the younger ones out there(who've been in the same situation as these sisters) could offer some helpful solutions from their own experience. Furthermore, does anyone know if this new, foreign ice cream has alcohol or some other such ingredient which makes it habitforming, as it has seemingly done to these young ones? This prospect really worries me!

  Kind thanks in advance for your help!

  "Me: "Yeah, for fornicators. But I haven't fornicated with anyone."Her: "You are celebrating pagan holidays so that is fornicating with false religion."

  Based on 2002 US Prison Population statistics, it appears "belief" in an afterlife and/or god, has little or nothing to do with one's "moral" behaviour.

  The overwhelming majority of criminal activity and convictions involves religious individuals, while non-religious or atheist/agnostics make up 1/5 of this group.

  I think the counterpoint is that being religious, can in many ways provide a licence for immoral behaviour. Afterall, a catholic merely needs to confess and all is forgiven. For that

  matter, any religious individual ultimately believes that there is a redemption being offered by their god of choice, regardless of what heinous activities they may engage in in the

  "present" life, all can be forgiven on the deathbed, if a clergyman is present....

  N.B. The statistic for incarcerated JWs: right in the middle of the curve at 0.7% ....LOL....

  Tragic Bush Administration Failure

  2. friends

  up here, in the northern plains, we just recovered from a historic event--- may i even say a "weather event" of "biblical proportions" with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 mph that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed all roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.. .

  fyi:.

  george bush did not come.. .

  "No where does the constitution have a provision for tax payer handouts."

  > What do you think the purpose of paying taxes is you half-wit? Taxes FUND programs like FEMA, which are in place to assist and protect citizens from natural catastrophies. They pay for the basic infrastructure in a civil society. It was not just people on welfare that got SCREWED by the disastrous federal response to Katrina. The full-time employed, tax-paying middle class was hurt as well and when they expected a return for their tax dollars, they were screwed by an imcompetent, imbecilic federal government too wrapped up in a pointless war in Iraq to give a shit about domestic safety or national disaster preparation.

  "Everyone is responsible for themselves. Before the good old days of Socialism in this country, where everyone could bitch and get something for nothing, people actually relied on family, friends, and the community."

  Whatever. We've heard this Limbaugh-Coulter NEO-CON vomit a million times over and it still smells like the same sh*t. Guess what buddy, disasters happen in people's lives that are BEYOND their control. Do you think New Orleans residents are somehow responsible for what happened because they chose to live in New Orleans, one of the most historical, culture-laden cities in North America? Sociopathic whack-jobs like you who lack any compassion for a fellow human being are why your society is going to hell in a handbasket. If you hate society and your government, go move into a sh*t-shack with the troll "Debbie Lopez" up on the plains of Montana....I suspect you have all the makings for a future una-bomber. As for your delusional "good old days" when people "relied on friends and community", this is just total bullshit. In the good old days, people just died and/or rotted on the streets. This is the social structure you believe represents the ideal?

  "Katrina and other disasters are sad, but people should realize that if you live in a danger zone and something happens, no one is to blame but themselves. Should I build a house in Death Valley and then bitch to the government that I need, no deserve free water and a meal ticket for my poor choice? No, thats absurd. "

  > What a bloody assanine statement. Its so stupid I have no idea where to begin. First, are you comparing NEW ORLEANS with death valley? Are you that f*cking ignorant? Most of those people have been living in New Orleans for GENERATIONS. It was their HOME, their culture, their sense of belonging. People were flooded out of their homes your a**hole, trapped on their rooftops with no food or water. If a stray dog came to my door begging for some food I would feed it. Your moral bankruptcy is so profound you have the audacity to state that these people "got what they deserved" and should have been left to die of thirst and starvation? Your comments on this thread are perhaps the most vile, reprehensible sentiments I have ever read on a discussion board. You are a disgusting excuse for a human being.

  Not talking about JW stuff has the opposite effect - regression phase

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i decided to take the advice of some of you here when i wrote about my situation.. i am married, but my wife is a die hard witness.

  despite me showing her mountains of evidence and her actually accepting it, she is regressing back into jw think.. this has happened since i stopped mentioning anything anti-jw.. now she thinks that my problems with jw's were just a phase because i am not bringing up the issue anymore.. i really want to leave this religion, but i can't do that without losing her.. many here i know are trapped and some are still serving as elders.

  i don't know how you do it, but i guess routine is routine.

  Sometimes you're damned if you do and damned if you dont. If you had been continually talking about your problems with the borg, the consequences may have been even worse in terms of causing friction between you. At the same time, not talking about it appears to be inducing a false sense of security in her wherein she may actually believe you have abandoned your doubts.

  I think you need to find a middle ground. Definitely dont attend or participate in any borg activities, and do bring up discussion points about the falsehoods of the watchtower but in an extremely diplomatic way. It seems like an impossible road you are on, but there are posters on this board that have successfully brought loved ones out. Its one of the most difficult things you will ever attempt, but the potential rewards are too important to risk losing. Try to guide her through a "gradual" withdrawal while carefully sowing doubts in her own mind. Hang in there.

  Poll answer: NO x 4

  Me: "You're saying Hank's always right because the list says so, the list is right because Hank dictated it, and we know that Hank dictated it because the list says so. That's circular logic, no different than saying 'Hank's right because He says He's right.'"

  John: "Now you're getting it! It's so rewarding to see someone come around to Hank's way of thinking."

  LMAO! I always love these 2 lines. I have never before encountered a more accurate summation of religious reasoning, and ironically, it applies to every single religious belief system on earth!

  "What few actions should be taken to save the American economy from its pitiful condition?"

  TROLL: There are no "actions" that would make one whit of difference at this point. Your economy is in the hole TRILLIONS of dollars and you, your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be paying for George Bushs war in Iraq for the next 50 years or more before you can even think about a balanced budget. Enjoy your double delusion: "god" and a "strong american economy".......

  i had the view on tv while i was cleaning this morning, and the women started talking about pat robertson's prediction for 2007. the guest co host, sherri shepherd, said "i used to be in the religion that rang your doorbells on the weekends and sold pamplets, but they predicted the world would end in 1995 (i'm sure she meant 1975) and that didn't happen either.

  " .

  for those not in the u.s., the view is a daily morning tv talk show for women..
