  did you know that jehovah is really a miss-spelled word in hebrew from the word adonai in hebrew?.

  Sounds interesting. I imagine you have something that supports this argument, right?

  brain head f*cks post for geeks

  maybe you need to be a geek to understand this... i don't know.. but... do you ever relate the way your brain works in computer terms?

  like little programs running.

  maybe the fact i read a book by the scientologists got me thinking this way.., about mental "engrams".

  THIS JUST IN: CHRISTMAS has been CANCELLED this winter.

  by Oroborus21 in

  flash--november 16, 2005, peoria, il.. instead of merry christmas, happy hannukah (or chanukah), kwanza, etc.all merchants are to use a generic term instead.

  no use of santa, a nativity scene or any christian or other religious symbolage may be used in store displays, on advertising on upon product packaging.

  use instead nondescript wintry animals, snowflakes and candycanes to signify the holiday season.. the committee on political correctness is expected to issue a final ruling by friday on whether "festivus" may be used.. -merchants for appropriate designations.

  Christmas is when the ghost of Jesus Christ rises from his grave to drink the blood of the living. So we sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep for another year.
  Right?

  ok, i'm new here, so please be gentle.

  maybe the advice i need is somewhere else in this forum, but i really don't want to have to search for it, i really need some advice now and i don't have the time to sift through all of the other entries here.

  so please bear with me and share any and all advice you have, even if you think it's not what i want to hear.

  Hating the holidays is a defense mechanism. When you're taught from a young age that the reason you aren't celebrating along with all the other children is because THEY are worshipping the Devil, it warps your view of the holidays. It takes acceptance of the real truth - that the WTS has lied to you about pretty much everything - to get over this.

  At what age should a person loss their drivers licence?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in my area, in the last year, there has been six people killed in three separate accidents by someone over the age of 70. in two cases, the elderly people lived while the other drivers did not.

  in one case the elderly person was killed, as well as the people they hit.

  of the six people killed, two were children under the age of five.

  Drivers should be retested at every renewal. Why this isn't done in the US has baffled me since I got my license.

  Elders, perfect kind men who should be respected.

  i know some former witnesses away from the board and when we have talked, we have commented on how we still see people put elders in this category, even after the exit.

  once in a discussion with someone who used to be an elder, the person who used to be an elder did something kind of harsh in their comments.

  the person in the group stated, "there is no way someone like you would have ever been an elder.

  I knew one elder who I could say was truly a good man while he was an elder, and the last I heard of him, he was DF'd for apostasy. The nice ones end up leaving.

  We started with four bags. After the kids were done with their rounds, we had at least twice as much than when we started. Of course, all the good stuff got eaten and now we're down to the "eat last", which sits in a big candydish on the coffee table. An interesting note is that the wrappers are red and green, so we're ready for Christmas. :D

  well here i am tonight already totally at my limits with all the absolute thick f****** wan***** letting off fireworks, when i came across this wonder drug.

  i am pleased to inform you that stupidity is not just limited to my area; it is indeed worldwide.

  i dont know who is more stupid; sad pathetic people who stare up at the sky in amazement as they watch their money burn in the air (lemmings), absolutely amazed that these things let off loud noises and lights as they say 'wooooooooooh' there goes another one.... or these sad idiots who claim to 'cure' the disease of homosexuality!!!!!!!
