TITHING approaches!

by hamsterbait in

in the sep 1 witchtower, p25.

there is an illustration (i assume of an anonymous israelite) vowing "i shall without fail give the tenth of 'it' to you" , at the point in the study where we are told that ornary folks gathered outside the temple when incense was being offered up.

(he has already given the tenth of something - "it's" running down the end of that phallic looking thingie.

MinisterAmos

OK then, so if we are going to get all Old Testament and stuff that would mean that the WT will open the farms to gleaners right?

Anyone who doesn't know what gleaning is must take a free "bible-study"

TERROR ALERT _ UK AIRPORTS in CHAOS

by Crumpet in

'airlines terror plot' disrupted

all airports have been put under the restrictions

reid statement

MinisterAmos

I'm more than OK with the no hand luggage rule. Maybe I'm just lucky but I always seem to get stuck behing the Farking Moron with the HUGE knapsack that has to be run through 18 times because he forgot and left his nail clippers, Walkman, laptop etc. inside. No amount of gentle reminder is enough for these people, they need to be decapitated for causing the brighter folks so much distress.

One less bottleneck in the boarding process.

those of us with kids have fond memories and erotic dreams of melanie rodriguez, the former night hostess of pbs' "noggin" show.. she's gone now and the above video that she made about 6 years ago as a joke is why.

even though she's a mom we can't have people "like that" entertaining our kids i guess..... (maybe safe for work, no nudity or anything else)

AOL releases search logs - Jehovah searches

by jstalin in

for those of you who aren't aware, aol accidentally released search data from 500,000 of their users.

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/story.aspx?dist=newsfinder&siteid=google&guid=%7bf872d3da-d635-42f3-acb2-2c696746a567%7d&keyword=.

it's fun to see what people are searching for.

MinisterAmos

It's black humor Mr Highlander.

AOL is kind of like the kiddies' pool of the internet. Usually only those who easily manipulated by bright lights and loud noises stay there very long.

Perfect for those long-time Dubs if you know what I mean.

Do Sex Offender Laws Go Too Far In SOME Cases?

by target in

a young man of 20 has sex with his willing 17 year old girl friend.

her parents find out and press charges.

now he is a sex offender.

MinisterAmos

I happen to know a sex offender. He picture and home address are on the web-site and will be for the next three years because he urinated in a dark alley when he thought no-one was around.

There was a policeman in a parked car at the end of the alley (doing who knows what) with night vision. The cop testified that he was able to see the sausage and that was all she wrote.

Flying under radar

by Alligator Wisdom in

MinisterAmos

Just try to keep from bursting out laughing at the really ridiculous remarks and you do just fine.

I'm not in, I'm a farking sabeteur. I'm taking that whole thing down with me.

Schwarzenegger Joins Sierra Club In Fighting Oil Drilling!!!

by SWALKER in

MinisterAmos

Why Arnold doesn't just ask the Mommies to let their kids take the bus to school I'll never know. I bet that would result in a 15% reduction in fuel usage and lessen the urgency of exploration by itself.

Not sure if the rest of you folks live in a place where the impact of mommies in the morning is quite as evident as it is here, but I immediately saw the bottle-neck created by the moms when school started last week.

The afternoon pick up is even worse. The moms form a single file line (idling with A/C running no doubt) that stretches from the entrance to the middle school for a distance of at least a half mile

MinisterAmos

Keep in mind that $200 barrel oil is not going to affect Arnold's lifestyle.

Those of you calling for $5-6-7 per gallon gas are going to get your wish one day. The REAL result is not just that we'll all be more inclined to bike to work, the real result is that prices of everything that must be transported will rise by a minimum of 20% and probably more.

Your heating and cooling bill will double at minimum.

Your grocery bill will resemble your mortgage payment especially for frozen foods

You won't be able to give away the SUV you paid $40,000 for.

School taxes and your property bill will jump because of transportation and maintenance costs

Your suburban McMansion that you have a $400,000 loan on will drop in value by 30% because nobody can afford to commute.

Think about what you are asking for because it's all inter-connected

3 Page Letter Read In My Relative's Congregation...

by SWALKER in

my elderly relative called me all excited about this "letter" that was read in their kh last week.

she told me that it was all about being prepared for natural disasters, etc.

and how the p.o and secretary were updating all their publisher files.

MinisterAmos

Second of all, what will the structure be for fixing a home or providing assistance, who will get the assistance first, how long will they ask the elderly JWs to wait for the repairs to their home to be fixed because there are too many other people ahead of them.

The project after hurricane Ivan took 120 days of work for at times over 1000 Dubs to put the roofs of 700 Dubz in order.

The work still continues in MS, and will NEVER be finished in New Orleans. There is just no place to house the workers and/or materials needed for the job.

In other words it is a bald faced lie, shown by experience, that the WT can be expected to make it all better.

I really wish I could post fotos of the Elder's $Million dollar plus house on the bay with repairs now completed but doing so would reveal too much. I can say with certainty that 90% of you would be very happy living in his POOL HOUSE. The renovations were completed by the Bros but only top-shelf items were used like Jenn-Aire appliances, berber carpet, oak cabinetry, leaded glass windows and really cool metal roofing alll paid for with the WT credit card. I know bwcause I ordered a lot of it from Lowe's.

His was among the last actually completed but he got a lot more than the Bros who couldn't even choose their shingle color.

As far as "signing over the insurance check" the process I actually witnessed was when a job was completed, the records keeper added up the materials used, the type of work, (get this) HOW MUCH THE LABOR WOULD HAVE COST AT WORLDLY (UNION) RATES and submitted a bill to the homeowner. The bill is a "suggested" donation to the (can't remember which) fund. A few things to remember: Dubz pay no sales tax on materials because they are a church but bill for it Dubz pay no labor but bill for it Dubz pay no Workers Comp Insurance but bill as if they did. Most of the initial load of materials used after Ivan were even trucked in FREE by Dubs who donated their gas and time
