i happened to come across the word machiavellian.heard it plenty of times but never really knew what it meant.it's an adjective and sums up the jw leadership like no other word.it means as follows ; .

elaborately cunning ; scheming, unscrupulous,deceitful, shrewd, crafty,wily,foxy, tricky,perfidious,nefarious,treacherous,sneaky .. well i guess that just about covers it.unless anyone can come up with anymore.. .

Sounds like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.

i periodically wonder if anyone here might have grown up in my neck o the woods... .

Did you ever have this problem in school? How did you solve it?

as some of you know, i have a daughter in college.

she has one problem that i hope some of you can help with.. whenever she takes a test, her mind just goes blank.

she knows the material, but she just stresses out.

This always happened to me and all I can say is that it really sucks. I can remember questions and the correct answers from a test that I failed 20 years ago.

The printing presses of the WTS stopped working...could they really preach?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

we know that the whole objective of the preaching work is to place( sell ) magazines and books.

the labor is free from the warehouse to the distribution at the door.

they preach today's bad news and topics from the bible.

It is quite the crutch, eh?

Who is your favorite animated cartoon character?

by gaiagirl in

my favorite would have to be marvin the martian (first appearance 1948).

everything about him cracks me up, from his roman gladiator helmet and kilt, to the way he walks and speaks ("that makes me angry, very angry indeed"), to the ultra cool devices he uses (suprisingly, from acme, who apparantly has outlets on mars).

a very close second, almost a tie, would have to go to droopy (first appearance 1943), who also walks and speaks in a humorous manner, and who has abilities far beyond what would be expected from his dimunitive size.
