there seems to be some people here blaming this on that and that on this.
so, in the spirit of trying to clear the air and moving on i thought i'd start this post.
i'll start....... the amish--because they won't defend themselves.
I hate indifference!
Also I can't stand uneducated people who profess to be otherwise!
Poor drivers: Driving is a priveldge not a right, most people don't even know the basic driving skills!
Reality TV "personailities"" Personality is their least used talent!
Manufactured Music: Talentless, soulless, forgettable
Jamster Mobile Crazy Frog: Say no more
Religion!
i was an active witness, and i didn't feel as if god granted anything i asked for in prayers.
i didn't ask anything out of the ordinary.
since the witnesses say that they are god's followers and that he blesses them, i wonder in what way he blesses individuals when they pray?.
Im blessed everyday, and i didn't even need to pray for it!
I always thought prayer was the last refuge for a scoundrel anyways!
ok, in another thread, a poster referred to incidents of "sisters" out in "field service" attempting to "hit" on the males they encountered at the doors.
i have personally had this experience, and also noticed that the last time i visited a kingdom hall, the females in the hall were very, very flirty (including those who were married).
it was as if i had entered a place inhabited soley by women who had been denied male companionship for years!
im my old cong, the women there were shockers, think Helen Lovejoy from The Simpsons! The younger females were all after the same brother, and ltterally fought over this idiot, a spineless two faced backstabber if there ever was! A fine example of manhood! As a young fella, i loved the chicks and still do, and the other brothers couldn';t handle it, because i had a large group of females in school i used to hang out with you kinda get to know what makes em tick, the brothers on the other hand, hohohohhooo clueless! Woulnd't know a G'spot from a 10 spot! As you could imagine i got into a bit of trouble servicing my fellow sisters needs, not bragging but i feel they at least got to feel a bit special for once in their poor lives, and treated like a queen! It makes me laugh when you see the most obviously mis-matched couples in Da Troof marrying in total desparation, and taking whatever comes along, and then trapped forever until they snap out of it! Sooooo glad i never married a Dub, came close but no cigar!
i spoke about 1/2 hour to shunned father on the phone last night, and he proclaims his innocence as regards to that beacon of truth post.
he is very much appreciative of the offers of help he has received, so please everyone, dont back out on this historic event because of a post that seemed offensive.
i will be disappointed if everyone were to pull out because of this.
Good Hunting!
Will this be televised, or a video available after the event? Would love to see that, I'm there in spirit brother!
the thread about this one, had k.i.s.s in the title.
that reminded me about something funny.
when i was a kid, the biggest rockband in the world was kiss.
One of the congregations we were in it was a No No to have Fancy dress parties, and Karaoke was viewed as positively evil?? Anyone else come across this???
only if Val Doonican was on the Karaoke machine!!
if only they knew if you played Val's records backwards, the messages of pure satanism would spring out at you like an incubus!!!
I bet the old vinyl the Kingdom Melodies came on had backward tracks on...... revealing all the secrets they tried to hide all except for one lone maverick in the press room... wouldn;t that be a coup!
have you noticed those exotic locations some of our posters come from?.
some of you sure come from some exotic places!
you have the rest of us jealous.. but wait a minute.......is it possible our profiles don't tell where we really are at all?.
I live in Victoria Australia ;...Now thats not too exotic for you Ozziepost? ;Evanescence
Yay fellow Victorian!!! You watching the GF tomorrow? Go the Swannys!

Red Skittles?! you must be joking! no, I know your not! Blood of beetles?! Wow! insane. I guess you'd think they would list that huh? blood of beetles, eyes of newt, one frogs leg.......
I wish i was my friend! We had many a crackpot in our congregation, who would dream up this nonsense, and the Elders™ would jump on anything these fools would utter. It was never discussed per se but you knew about it, and it was suggested that we just do it "to be sure" freaks!!!
Same deal with anything remotely bloody, i remember going out after District Assembly to a restaurant and ordering a steak, nice and rare, when it came, there was audible gasps, no kidding, as they plough into their third bottle of wine!
I laugh now, but then, i was one confused dude! glad i listened to me that one time eh!
i don't mean to be insensitive to the impending mortality issues that face many of us in this community...but i found the following article (hillsboro, oregon, 503-648-5444) quite laughable:.
finally.
eco-friendly "green burials".
I want to be cremated, then loaded into a big fat-ass mortar and shot out into the sky and explode like a firework! I reckons that would be cool!!!!
Then all the folks at my funeral can see me go in a bang, kinda fitting end to a humans life eh!
I also want Higher by Van Halen played at me wake!

This is a great topic! I guess we grew up in the same time frame so we have the same dogma that crossed the Seas i bet! My favourite music growing up was always rock music, highly frowned upon in our hall, yet they were secretly jealous! As a good little publisher in my formative years, we used to have the "privledge" of cleaning the hall on a Saturday, noooooo, we didn't want to play football or go bike riding, we wanted to be cheap unpaid labour cleaning the fithy brothers and sisters' mess up! So payback, we used to crank out on the PA system whatever tape we had at the time, Hendrix was one of my favourites, although Motorhead did once get a play, the Ace of Spades!!! Respect? About the same as our efforts to clean the bogs up were given! As those famous words Mene Mene Tekel Parsin was the writing on the wall, i look back and see that those days where the writing on the wall for me, I had a brain and was determined to use it..... I also had a good collection of Iron maiden too!! Although i kept the artwork hidden under my bed! Good old Eddie, bet if they put an Iron Maiden cover on the front of the WatchTower the sheep wouldn't bat an eyelid! As regards food, Red Smarties and skittles were banned "officially" for they had the blood of beetles in them, never read that on the packs i bought though, you'd think consumers would want to know!! Cochineal eh... kept me hyper active for years!

wow...your family must've been some of those "light-weight JWs" my mom always talked about
Yeah, mum a regular pioneer, dad the Presiding Overseer, sisters both pioneers, me and my brother publishers, we were light weight alright!!! It was never enough was it, oh what a futile waste of time ahahhahaha, I remember to this day the day my dad got disfellowshipped for being a player (nice one dad) and looking over at his next in line, some toady brown noser of an elder, literally saying "yes" through his teeth and clenching his fist barely containing his excitement, he practically came there and then! Man i wanted to smash his face in that second, i had to get up and leave, so i let his tyres down in the carpark!!!
