Would you want Jesus as a friend?
by scout575 inwhilst christians like to portray jesus as the supreme example of love and mercy ( as opposed to a supposedly wicked 'watchtower god' ), does the bible's presentation of jesus cast him in quite the same flattering light that christians like to believe?
for instance, at revelation 19:15 jesus is described as 'smiting the nations and ruling them with a rod of iron and treading the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of almighty god.
' does jesus sound just as bad as the 'wicked watchtower god'?

What 'Brokeback Mountain' and JWs have in common
by Peter123 inthe story is beyond excellent.
every line is so well crafted and the story, published in the new yorker magazine in 1997, is much more than two young men falling in love.
one of the major themes of the movie is fear.

Or hopefully he doesn't think the article is a product of Satan's media attacking the borg.

Lo' and Behold - I start hearing Kingdom Melodies in the coffee shop.....
by AK - Jeff ini was peacefully reading an old copy of stephen cox' article "can the truth survive the internet", and all of a sudden i realize that the instrumental music playing is the d*mn kingdom melodies.
it was actually pretty good.
it was that instrumental cd released sometime back with a lot of harp, piano, and woodwinds in it.

So I guess the subliminal messages didn't take hold of you.

We had an elder that would arrange basketball every saturday afternoon and open it to 3 or 4 congregations. I'm not good at it but my parents made me go a few times for the good association. Afterwards people would usually go to dinner or out to the movies. There was also a MS that had three teenage kids and he would hold little parties at his house a couple times a year.
When I was wanting out, I used to use basketball as an excuse to hang out with my "worldly" friends. My parents trusted me a lot so I would tell them I was going to basketball and then get in a school friend's car about a block away. It all fell apart when one day my mom decided to surprise me after basketball and pick me up for dinner. I usually said I took off with the brothers to dinner. So when the game was over and I never came out she was pissed. Of course she said, "Jehobah wanted me to find you out."

Some of our maintenance workers leave the Spanish version of these tracts in the kitchen all the time. I promptly remove them.
I also find tracts like these (but not chick) in Russian on my windshield. I live in a Russian neighborhood.

It's a huge marketing tool owned by Newscorp (FOX). But I still use it. It's great to post little posts that goto your friends such as: "I have no plans this weekend. Anyone have any ideas?" Then people can get back to you at their leisure.

Wish I could but I pass out when they take just a little tube of blood.
I get to donate to myself in about 6-9 months. I'm going in for surgery and was told to donate a couple of bags in case they need it. I'm not looking forward to it.
