  The Office UK or The Office US

  by jrjr4189 in

  for those who have seen both shows, what is the better of the two in terms of humor?

  i know that the original uk office was revolutionary but the us version seems to hit my funny bone a little harder.

  your thoughts?.

  I absolutely raved about The Office from the very first episode!
  
  It's humour (sorry - humor!) was both cringeworthy, subtle and in your face.
  
  Ricky Gervais is outstanding in this role, Gareth was cast perfectly too and what about Finchy the salesman oh and Dawns on off relationships? It's all floodiing back to me now - I haven't seen the USA version but I expect it was tailored for the US market so probably not so funny to us but I have to agree with other posters that even though a lot of English humour is diferent to that accross the pond, some USA sitcoms are hilarious.

  Sex with your divorced mate scripturally wrong?

  lets say youre a jw married couple, get a divorce (unscriptural divorce, that is, so in jehovahs eyes you are still married), then both of you change your minds.

  well, not completely.

  you both realize the sex was great but your other needs and wants have changed in opposite directions.

  I was going to say that you don't beat about the bush, but that saying could be open to all sorts of interpretation!!!!

  Have you ever had an encounter with a UFO?

  when i was about 16 years old, a group of us friends would go hiking a lot on the weekend.

  we would rough it to some degree, just a sleeping back and sleeping under the stars.

  one night, while hiking into a lake in northern california, we all were sleeping in a clearing just out of legal distance from a small mountain lake we liked to fish in.

  Why am I not surprised that this thread is predominantly American?
  
  Apparently virtually all the UFO sightings in the world have been made in America.
  
  Uh huh, of course they have!

  Why would God speak in symbols if he really wanted us to understand?

  by rebel8 in

  if i was a deity and wanted people to know "the truth", i would just say it in plain language instead of veiling everything in symbolism, innuendo, and vague hints.

  what does that method of communication accomplish?.

  if i remember correctly, the borg answer to that is this method of communicating tricks the bad people but the good people can figure it out just fine.

  Yes I totally agree with others on this thread in asking why the Bible and religion in general is all so complicated and diverse?
  
  If there were only one way of worshipping god which would be acceptable to him, wouldn't he make it abundantly clear which way it was?
  
  Also, many millions, possibly billions of people worldwide slavishly follow the religion they are born into and there is no way that they are going to change due to the fanatacism and cultural pressure of it all, and don't tell me that god calls the honest hearted ones and those calling out to him because if that's the case then there are not many honest hearted ones around.

  Sorry Dansk about the number of birthday threads, but nobody took much notice about the other one and I must admit I'm very excited - I've been going round all day with a silly grin on my face, just like a little kid!
  
  Well, I'm still little but an awful lot older than a kid!
  
  See ya tomorrow!
