a couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.

like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.

i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!

I've never heard that particular one, but it really shows that they haven't taken a critical thinking class.

big red.

she's 8 feet now and growing.

yesterday she asked if it was really so i couldn't eat of the tree in the middle of the garden..

I have 4 snakes myself. 3 ball pythons and a white-lipped python. I've had others, several false water cobras, other obscure pythons. I almost bought a yellow anaconda once but I got over any desire to own one of the larger snakes.

The fastest scripture looker upper

by SacrificialLoon in

a comment by rubadub in the thread about learning new things at the meetings made me remember something, and gave me a chuckle.. i would always see how fast i could look up the scriptures during the talks, and race to beat most everyone else.

of course everyone else didn't realize i was racing them, but i'd always feel a smug (and perhaps a bit self-righteous) satisfaction at having the scripture looked up and ready to follow along while from the sights and sounds around me most everyone else was still looking it up.

being able to look up jehovah's word with such speed would surely earn me spiritual brownie points.

I didn't race anyone, but I did look them up as fast as possible out of boredom.

at the service meeting this week it was mentioned that fred franz was very educated and spoke 6,7 languages.

and was able to give 1.5 hrs talks without an outline and quote all the scriptures from memory.. i heard that about him for the last 30 years.. is it true or just a mith?

anyone know more about it?.

Spectre

I heard the same and that he memorized the bible because of his failing eyesight.
