If I ever got re-baptized, I'd wear a thong speedo and get a naked lady tattooed across my ass cheeks!

Do Americans feel a 'special relationship' with the UK?
by ThomasCovenant inthe wt society always made a big point about the anglo-american world power when i was growing up in the t. i don't know if they still do.
probably not.. couple this with the uk media very often going on about a special relationship between the two countries.
some journalists would often point out though that this may have been wishful thinking on the part of the smaller uk.. i was a fan of alistair cooke's 'letter from america' and he , being of an older uk birth background would also reinforce this impression i had that there was a difference between the bond between the us/uk that was different to other countries.. .

I tend to wish America was more like the UK. I love the culture of the Brits. My wife and I vacationed in the UK back in 2001, and I was enthralled! I think of it as a "village mentality." The Brits all live in their villages and actually WALK around when they need to get something.
Here in America we drive for EVERYTHING. In my town we have loads of shopping centers built to encourage walking from shop to shop. DO people walk? Nope. They hop their fat, lazy, cheeseburger eating asses into their SUV's and drive 100 feet down the parking lot to the next store. Another thing, the metric system. If I had said we drive 300 meters, the vast majority of Americans would be lost.
And the historical buildings? Amazing. I walked the medieval walls of York, and knew that the worn steps had been used centuries earlier by city defenders. Here in America if it's older then 30 years we rip it down and build a Starbucks over it.

I don't know about the rest of America, but I have always felt there was a special bond between the US and the UK.

Sorry! I decided to return to the Kingdom Hall!
by sacolton ini woke this morning and realized that i'm really missing the truth, so i've decided to just go back being a jehovah's witness.
things will be different this time.
i'm going to stop questioning and just accept everything i'm told and attend all the meetings.

Thankfully he'll never know the inside of a KH. and that's NO JOKE.
I have the same thought every time I think of my niece and nephews.

To all the sensible atheists on this board:
by John Doe ini'm awed by your calm and rational demeanors and your penchant for keeping your composures when faced with the heckling and willfully ignorant spirits that do contaminate the peace from time to time.
thanks.
how do you keep your cool amidst such blatant baiting and tomfoolery?

I don't know how I do it John Doe. It is hard to maintain a sense of calm when surrounded by people who foolishly believe in a god.
I've found that meditation and prayer to the flying spaghetti monster work.

I'm going as fast as the Space Shuttle!!!! :D
by Elsewhere inthis is my 17,500th post.
the space shuttle travels at 17,500 mph.
my only concern: does having 17,500 posts constitute a good thing or a bad thing?

The Tobacco Bombshell...
by Snoozy inback in the 70's jw smokers where given 6 to 12 months to quit... i remember one witness in particular that had come up to missouri from arkansas to try and make a living for him and his wife and daughter.
(all jw"s).
well they had previously tried to earn a living in arkansas by picking cotton and doing other farm labors.

Back in the day we had an elder in our congregation that we called Fat Bastard behind his back. Bro. Fat Bastard, as you can imagine, was overweight. Every day like clockwork he'd go to McDonald's and buy a bag full of greasy, fat filled sandwiches and devour them....paper and all. I used wonder how this man could hand down judgment on the smoking issue, while he was clearly a glutton. After all, isn't gluttony specifically named in the Bible?
