  McKinney Texas pool party?

  by Marvin Shilmer in

  1. social
  2. current

  so today i was asked my thoughts on the pool party incident in mcminney, texas.

  my response: it shows a clash of expectations.

  i saw police officers who expected citizens to listen to and follow instructions.

  While I'm glad that no one got hurt, I am glad it happened and that it was caught on camera.

  That was one awesome barrel roll! He went the full Blart with that one.

  Some of those in that list above don't even have a guitar in that genre. Am I supposed to be finding my favorite guitarist out of the children's music, comedy, commercial, holiday, inspirational or vocal?

  If this was a thread about what genre of music you like I could easily list over 50 from that list. And as much as I am for expanding your horizons, I've come to the realization that at my age on some things I don't care anymore. I have over 400 cds. I really don't need to buy more to listen to. I can't listen to all the ones I have.

  After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads

  by paulmolark in

  it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.

  i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.

  a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

  The idea of always showing honor to parents really shows a logical flaw in the bible. To suppose that all parents are worthy of honor could have only been written by an overbearing parent.

  Nice comeback. I'm sure it shocked all listening.

  I can't believe that I've never commented on this thread.

  In no real order:

  Steve Howe

  Brian May

  Randy Rhoads

  Jake E Lee

  David Gilmour

  Jeff Beck

  Jimmy Page

  Mick Mars

  Tony Iommi

  Honorable mention to David Bowie for just always picking someone phenomenal to play guitar on any album of his.

  For the most part I guess one could guess that I like my classic rock, eh?

  17 year old son is blaming me for ruining his life from the Cult. He's complaining "I could have been a high school sports star!"

  by PhilsWager2 in

  you know about my not-so-ugly divorce and how me and my wife found out the religion is false.

  she still attends while my 17 year old has been raging on me about all the wasted time he suffered from by being in this religion.

  he think's his life is ruined, very angry we did not learn this was a cult earlier(he was 14 when he stopped attending after reading the revelation book, he said "in all time and history, how could a trumpet blown in revelation have anything to do with a jw bible student convention statement"?.

  Oh how I wish I could go back in time to when I was 17. I would give anything to go back and tell my mom and step-dad they were in a cult, tell them why, drop mic and walk out. Then go to college and do what I really wanted to do with my life.

  But as it was I didn't bother to finish high school because, why bother? The end of the world is coming at any second! (I would have graduated in 1984).

  All I can say is have him figure out what he wants to do and go do it. At 17 he is the only one stopping himself.

  I was talking to my step-dad some years ago about the flood and how it was stupid that some think it was the flood that made the grand canyon. He said, "how do you know that Jehovah didn't put Noah and everyone in the ark in suspended animation for a half a million years and that's the way the flood made the grand canyon?"

  I thought that my usual reply to something that stupid of, "how do you know the giant noodle spaghetti monster didn't create the whole universe 5 minutes ago?" would have been wasted on him.

  According to JW urban legend, Alex Trebek said it was the NWT.

  .....but then they went and changed it. Someone better tell Mr. Trebek there has been nulite and to update his info to the NNWT.

  Who compared the KH donation arrangement to that of a never ending mortgage?

  by Boeing Stratofortress in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it was one of the commenters replying to another thread, but i cannot find it.

  it was a great rant & well thought out.

  it basically put in simple terms how the donation arrangement is like being forgiven of your 10 year mortgage, then being told you should 'donate' an amount equal to your monthly mortgage payment, but indefinitely.. i'd really like to find that person's reply, so i can use the same logic with some of my family members.

  The 10 year thing is really irrelevant. It could be 1 month left. Pay off your last $2000 mortgage this month.....and next month they're going to want another $2000.

  If a congregation paid off their bill 10 years ago, I'm sure they're going to want rent on the hall that has already been off.
