I'm starting to think a "Girls of JWN" pin-up calendar is in order.
That sounds familiar. I think it was done once a few years ago. Or maybe that was on another board. My memory's kind of foggy.

It might be better to not even have the Internet. April 15th WT
by life is to short inok i was just blown away when i heard this today while driving, at first i thought it was the some old same old but then it went on and it seems like it is on a different level.. the subheading is "guard your heart by exercising self-control.
on page 27 par 17 it says "one way a person could wonder into the foolish course of the "young man in want of heart" is by aimlessly flipping though television channels or surfing the internet.
whether intentionally or not, he might chance upon sexually stimulating scenes.

"For example, keeping the computer in an open area can serve as a protection"
What do they mean by "the" computer? A lot of households have more than one computer. I have 8, and I live alone. For example, a mom and dad might each need their own so they can VPN in to work in the evening. Each kid might need their own for educational purposes. We're not in the '50's anymore when a family sits together in the livingroom watching Ozzie and bloody Harriet all evening. We've got shit to do and schedules to keep.

I rarely commented. The idea of JW style commenting didn't appeal to me. I didn't want to simply read answers from the paragraphs, and "advanced" jw comments were nothing more than sentences from the paragraphs with a couple of words rearranged.
The few times I commented I'd be swarmed by JWs after the meeting with the usual "nice to hear you comment" remarks which made me want to puke. That was often enough to strengthen my resolve to avoid commenting at all.

What happened in 2001 has done nothing to influence a change in the mind of the typical JW.
Possibly because few of the rank and file members knew about it. I never heard of this until today.

Once again Jehovah's celestial chariot and "spirit directed" earthly organization can turn 180 0 on a dime. haha.
If they were "spirit directed" as they claim this wouldn't have happened.

Get to the point!
by Mr. Falcon intwo jehovah's witnesses walk up to a house and knock on the door.
a younger man wearing a t-shirt with all kinds of swirl-patterns on it (think tie-dye, but not quite) answers the door and the first jw goes into his presentation.
he is offering the watchtower on the "occult" (cue spooky music).

If the householder had a "right heart condition" he would have accepted the magazines, read the article about "the resplendent butterfly", and immediately quit his job to pioneer™. Since he didn't do these things, he's dead meat, birdfood, and will be "as manure on the surface of the ground".

Why so many Atheist VS. Christian discussions here?
by mindmelda ini notice a lot of the discussions seem to be atheist vs christian here.
or is that just my perception?.
but, do the other people who are neither just not care to debate as much or are there just fewer or them, or both?.

Some people, like me, don't care what others think. Others are not comfortable unless they're surrounded by people who agree with them.

I sued the local congregation
by chukky 594 inseveral years ago, before my wife and i left, my 5 yr old daughter got up during the watchtower to cross the aisle to sit with someone else.
she tripped on the roving microphone wire and smashed her head on the foot of a metal chair.
the bleeding was profuse and an ambulance was called.

How does your court system cope ??
I think most claims are settled out of court. Mine was, and it still took 2 years to settle.
