i noticed another thread on this site relaying a stupid e mail making the rounds of dubdom.. well i just got this one and i thought i would share.... powerful illustration.

after the prayer, the local elder slowly stood up, walked up to the.

platform and, before he gave his public talk, he briefly introduced a guest.

Is the WTS becoming more like Ancient Israel?

does it seem to you that the wts has some of the traits of ancient israel?

tell me what you think.

I've thought this for a long time. The WTS likes to claim to be "Christian" but, every time they need support for one of the ridiculous organizational rules they dip into the Old Testament to find support. When was the last DC drama based on anything from the New Testament?

My favorite was last years drama, when attendance at conventions was compared to the ancient festivals and pilgrimages of the Israelites.

Has anyone gone to the convention yet?

by ocean7 in

i read here that jws were told in the km that they shouldn't wear jeans, t-shirts or shorts out after the convention or even in the loby of their hotel.

well, i am just curious to see what everyone else who still goes to meetings observed.

if you wore jeans, t-shirts or shorts, did someone say anything to you about it?

We have a long haired chihuahua and love her to pieces. Out of three dogs she is my favorite, it's really hard to explain to someone how cool chihuahua's are until they own one.

The news reports state she cried and screamed for her mother during the court proceedings. What a worthless, spoiled, brat! No way that chick can carry her end of the canoe.

I'm also new to the area of cigars, what with being in a mind control cult and all.

They really do complete the experience though.

Song Lyrics That Remind You Of The Watchtower

by Arthur in

friends

i was listening to a song today by rush.

i had heard the song a few times before, but today i really listened closely to the lyrics.

i read the lyrics off of the cd jacket and the words remind me so much of how i felt in the watchtower organization - never being allowed to ask serious questions or raise any kinds of objections to organizational practices.

Don't Know When but a Day's Gonna Come by Bright Eyes

Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?
Did he come to save? Did he come at all?
And if I dried his feet,
with my dirty hair,
would he make me clean again?
They say they don't know when but a day is gonna come,
when there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun.
It will just go black, It'll all go back, to the way it was before.
I knew a lovely girl, with such pretty pride, and every man wanted her, yeah and so did I.
So did I.
But she up and died in a fit of vanity.
Now men with purple hearts, carry silver guns.
And they will kill a man for what his father has done.
But what my father did, you know it don't mean shit. I'm not him.
So you think I need some discipline, well, I had my share.
I have been sent to my room. I've been sat in a chair.
And I held my tongue. I didn't plug my ears.
No, I got a good talking to.

And now I don't know why,
but I still try to smile when they talk at me like I'm just a child.
Well, I'm not a child.
No, I am much younger than that.
And now I have read some books and have grown quite brave.
If I could just speak up I think I would say that there is no truth.
There is only you and what you make the truth.
So I will just sing my song and I'll pass a hat.
Then I'll leave your town and never look back.
No, I don't look back because the road is clear and laid out ahead of me.
I'll get home and meet my friends at our favorite bar.
We'll get some lighter heads for our heavy hearts.
And we will share a drink.
Yeah we will share our fears and they will know how I love them.
They will know how I love.
They will know how I love them.
I am nothing without their love
.
I don't know when but a day is gonna come
when there won't be a moon and there won't be a sun.
It will all go black.
It will all go back to the way it is supposed to be.
Is it true what I heard about the Son of God?
Did he die for us? Did he die at all?
And if I sold my soul for a bag of gold,
which one of us would be the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?
Which one of us would be the foolish one?
Which one of us would be the fool?

Could you please start explaining?
You know, I need some understanding.
I could do good with some explaining.
You know. I want to understand.
