  I had good equipment and the recipies I used should have been good.

  At any rate, Im much better at brewing beer than making wine.

  I seem to remember something about this being a conscience matter now. Fairly recent stuff I think. Within the last year of two.

  Then again I was only told by a friend, I never read it myself.

  I want a refund . . .

  after reading all those threads and articles about how much money the wtbts has squirreled away and invested and after volunteering to serve birthday cupcakes and punch at a homeless shelter run by the combined efforts of first presbyterian church and first methodist in downtown dallas, i have decided that i want my money back.. i want back every single cent that i ever contributed to that jabba the hut of an organization that just sits on its money and never uses a penny of it to benefit its members or the rest of humanity.

  i want back the $10,000 that my dad "loaned" the society in the 1970's that they -- 10 years later -- strongly suggested he just give to them to save them the trouble of writing a check.. i want to be paid for the 13 years of regular pioneer service that i wasted on that organization.

  let's see, at roughly 100 hours a month (that's what the requirement was back then), 1200 hours a year times 13 + 15,600. hmmm, okay, i'll take minimum wage for it -- isn't that $6.50 an hour now?

  Not to change the subject too much, but I do recall a conductor on the stage during the songs at the circuit assemblies when I was a kid. It didnt make sense to me even then. I had no idea what the random hand waving was about and I was pretty sure that no one else did either.

  What a Hummingbird Taught Me About God

  by metatron in

  last year, i put out a bird feeder and filled it with seed.

  i would frequently watch birds come and go while making breakfast.. during early summer, i passed by the window and spotted a hummingbird hovering near the seed filled feeder, looking around.

  as if to say, "where's mine?"..

  It is ;easy to accept that God is a judgmental person (male) looking down from above for falling sparrows or me ;coveting ;my neighbour's wife's ass.

  We humans insist on describing God in our own limited parameters. I agree with you that God is in fact the whole power of the universe including us. (If that is what you mean).

  And I do believe that we can tap into that power through prayer.

  I believe that we need Holy Men, spiritual guiders, to assist us. Such Holy Men could include Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, the Pope, ; Sharmans, etc.

  Some of those "holy men" teach that god is a judgemental male looking down from the sky though. Why would we need them?

  Ive actually made two different batches of wine and both were best suited to be poured down the sink.

  Not everything organic should be fermented.

  Do JW's elders really want to know what kind of "sexual activities" you did

  by booker-t in

  1. jw

  i know many ex-jw elders out there have the first hand knowlege of this but i was wondering do the elders really want to know everything you did when you were engage in sexual activity that got you in front of a judicial committee when you were a jw or now.

  i have heard horror stories of the elders wanting to know did the person have an "orgasim" did they perform "oral sex" did they perform "anal sex" etc; i can't believe that a person could be so "nosy" as to want to know what a person did in the bedroom.

  i know a girl who is now df that i work with and she said that one of the elders asked her what size penis did her boyfriend have and did she prefer "small" or large penises.

  I never got questions that detailed when I had to go through such things, but a friend of mine did.

  I would have told them to drop dead.

  I've been wanting to read the book after I saw him on "The God who wasnt there", but he would have to get in line behind the other 5 books I have waiting.
