i detest this type of posting.
it's only my opinion of course and so long as forum rules aren't breached we're all free to express ourselves as we see fit.
doesn't mean i have to like it though.. honestly, can't you make your point without this kind of infantile name calling?
I have to admit I've used terms like 'field circus' or 'kingdumb hell' a few times. What I find annoying is the persistent overuse of terms like that. I can't help but wonder at the state of mind and credibility of someone who appears incapable of posting without that terminology.

(didn't research too hard - just googled it.
He'll be DF'd for apostasy tomorrow.

I think JWs should be more accurate in the portrayals of paradise in their publications. I didn't have time to model any lions or watermelons.
just getting into his books and i'm hooked.
he was a fantastic author.

I read most of his books, and I'm always on the lookout for ones I don't have. Always enjoyed Zane Grey's books too.

i never could, like some others described, i could never ever see myself there, i just couldnt imagine it at all,.
i wonder if that was a sign that deep down i didnt believe it?.
I used to enjoy raising my mom's blood pressure by telling her that the earth would be filled with people living exactly as Adam and Eve did. The bible doesn't say they had a house, which means they didn't have one. Everyone would be naked, living and sleeping outdoors, so you better watch where you step if you go out for a walk at night.

Every time I tried to imagine myself in the new system I visualized myself living in some swamp because the elders and other 'prominent ones' took all the best land for themselves.
i don't know which is worse.... dubs that drop by unanounced and want to confront you on your inactivity and your apparent lack of zeal for truth and love of jehovah, thus setting up a potential argument that could get ugly real fast.
dubs that drop by unanounced and feign friendship, chatting away like old times, yet they've got a bible in their hand and they insist putting wt/awake mags in my hand before they leave (like i can't download it for free from the internet) and since they've been friendly enough it would be bad form to jump their shit and antagonize the situation.
knowing they're indoctrinated, i'm sure that they're actually trying to be sincere in their efforts.
They're counting time, placement, and return visit. You are a statistic. My mom used to pull that shit on me. I did it too. When I was pioneering™ we'd go visit some elderly sister™ right around lunchtime. Naturally, we'd get our bellies filled for free while we counted our time, rationalizing that we were "encouraging older ones".

they aren't even made yet but the talk is there.
hobbits or whatever it will be called - prequel to lord of the rings.
1 or possibly 2 more bourne movies.
I haven't been to a movie theatre in 7 years. I wait until the DVDs have been out for a while, then buy 3 pre-viewed DVDs for $20 just down the road. That way I can watch them at home as often as I want, have a beer, and eat snacks that won't confine me to the toilet all night.

if i told you that something bigger is on the horizon than dateline, bbc, cbc, sunday (australia), and all other tv programs which exposed the sexual child abuse cover-up by watchtower in 2002-2003, would you believe me?
have i ever misled you?
i'll answer that--no!
so no more people post there goofy "bible based" predictions
Unfortunately, the usual suspects will pick any random topic to post such tripe. You could start a thread about skin tags and still have an even chance that you'll get some "bible based predictions" posted.

from time to time we read faith-strengthening experiences of brothers and sisters who undergo ferocious persecution while maintianing their integrity.
even when faced with torture and death, these valiant martyrs "hold fast" to the source of their real strength, which is......... .......watchtower publications???.
here's a gem that was shared with me, and now i have the honor of relating it to you all.
Having a service bag full of watchtower literature didn't prevent me from slipping and falling on some ice when I was out in service. My leg bent sideways at the knee, and I needed surgery. I felt everything.
That's what happens when you peddle magazines you don't actually read yourself.
