Paying for Witness literature

by Shane in

it seems that its only here in the good old us of a that the jw's act like they are not paying for the books magazines and so forth, simply because of tax's.

what's my point?

its this: i never thought that true religion should ever charge for books and all the other, if its really gods true group then he will pay for it, is that stupid?

So V.D. was the cost of coveting thy neighbors wife,
F*** ing said wife and having the bitches husband
killed.Seems to me this clown broke THREE of the
big ten for some Tand A yeah lets obey his council.

Jesus didn't make anybody pay for anything, You recieved
free YOU give free. The watchtower and awake are not the
word of God if the bible is and a lot of people think it is,
there are a lot of places you can get it for free. You might
have to sit through a meeting(service whatever THEY want
to call it) but you can get it for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Ice Cream---Ben and Jerry's is always good,
We forgot FRANK[zappa] and JERRY[garcia],
LINDSEY[buckingham] and STEPHEN[stills]
are always good live. Stephen could have been
a contender just didn't have the drive.

Holidays: Do you celebrate?

by Vitameatavegamin in

jw

i smell something burning; oh, just me thinking again!!.

anyway, one thing i always missed were the holidays-christmas especially.

i know that this is an unproven celebration to say the least, but i have always loved the warmth and beauty of this holiday, although very commercialized in this day and age.

crossroads

Paul said "Therefore let NO ONE JUDGE you in food
or drink, or regarding a FESTIVAL or a new moon or
sabbaths"--Colossians 2:16 NKJV

To think these bible thumbers disregarded this council
and threw me out the first time over the festival of Christ
birth the nerve.

As far as celebrating holidays my favorite is Thanksgiving
we are not celebrating anything it just a celebration of
being together sharing the loves, lives and loses of all
your loved ones. I use to love Christmas no more really
it is just too much over the top. To me I'd rather make a day special out of the blue. Why wait for a birthday or aniversary
to buy your wife flowers or your son or daughter a gift that
will put them on cloud nine. When things are expected they
are no longer special. Everyday is special and when I finally
make that happen in my own life I will have found "The Way"

Peace and Love----Mark

When is sex acceptable

by stephenw20 in

can anyone comment on this.

it appears that in our universe we have differing rules pertaining to sex being acceptable or not.. when you married , you are suppose to only have sex with your spouse.. if you are not married or have never been in a committed realtionship, it seems at a certain stage of ones life, it is either understandable or acceptable to just have or maintain a relationship that has nothing to do with anything but sex, or the closeness of another human being.. perhaps there were failed relationships that someone does not want to indulge in again , but still want to feel close to another person for a limited amount of time.. i am finding this to be acceptable not just among males but females as well in the 30-40 age range.

we humans are a strange breed.. comments are appreciated.. ps i am quite familiar with the biblical texts... i would rather not go there on this thread/

crossroads

Stephen I didn't notice this until today. My answer it
is all black and white and you'll know when it is
alright. I woke up this morning thinking of her,
"Those were the happiest days of my life" more
happiness in three weeks with her than 20years
with Jo. So this is for Nick and me(seems like I have a thing
about guy names for women)

I FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU, OH OH OH OH
WHAT HIJACKED MY WORLD THAT NIGHT
TO A PLACE IN THE PAST
WE'VE BEEN CAST OUT OF? OH OH OH OH
NOW WE'RE BACK IN THE FIGHT
WE'RE BACK ON THE TRAIN
OH, BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG

A CIRCUMSTANCE BEYOND OUR CONTROL, OH OH OH OH
THE PHONE, THE TV AND THE NEWS OF THE WORLD
GOT IN THE HOUSE LIKE A PIGEON FROM HELL, OH OH OH OH
THREW SAND IN OUR EYES AND DESCENDED LIKE FLIES
PUT US BACK ON THE TRAIN
OH, BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG

THE POWERS THAT BE
THAT FORCE US TO LIVE LIKE WE DO
BRING ME TO MY KNEES
WHEN I SEE WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO YOU
BUT I'LL DIE AS I STAND HERE TODAY
KNOWING THAT DEEP IN MY HEART
THEY'LL FALL TO RUIN ONE DAY
FOR MAKING US PART

I FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU, OH OH OH OH
THOSE WERE THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE
LIKE A BREAK IN THE BATTLE WAS YOUR PART, OH OH OH OH
IN THE WRETCHED LIFE OF A LONELY HEART
NOW WE'RE BACK ON THE TRAIN
OH, BACK ON THE CHAIN GANG

I'm glad I went against ALL that I was taught.

how about the 5 greatest guitarist of all time.

here are mine:.

crossroads

Perfectpie---I'll respond to this one being it is in the
right forum, I went to the band thread but it was in the
wrong place so I did a sixties thing and boycotted.
Hands down Jimi was the best, Then theirs ERIC
everyone else is in another building.
Knopfler is fantastic if you get a chance to see him
live he'll will "make it cry and sing."
Of course B.B. and Buddy,
Then another whose life was cut too short Duanne Allman
watchout he'll take you to "The Whippin Post"
ROY BUCHANAN---He does a song"The Messiah will come
Again" that is FROM the GUITAR GODS.
I'm sure if I looked it up I could find his name anyway Elvis's
early lead guitarist he did for the King what Charlie Watts
did for the Stones.
Kieth--because of the Riff or is that the Bo Diddlie beat
I'll leave Page out and Go with Ritchie Blackmore.
Ah it is all just "Smoke on the water" anyway or was that
a "Stairway to Heaven."

Crossroads of course Clapton is GOD

The only way to make it through all those
endless hours of Shit was to be Sedated.
Here's Joey and the rest of the Ramones.

Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport
And put me in a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no, oh ho, oh no
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Oh no, oh ho, oh no
Ba-ba-bamp-pa
Ba-ba-ba-bamp-pa
I wanna be sedated

YOU THINK LIKE A JW !!!

by Prisca in

jw
friends

the above phrase has been bandied about in the past and present, often as a form of insult when the poster disagrees with something another poster has said.. but what exactly do they mean?.

how do you think like a jw?

is there a certain code of synapses that distinguish a jw from a non-jw?.

Just wanted to say hi to our lovely lady from down under,
"I do believe, I do I do I do"
Hope your having a wonderful day ,

Stones - or should I say, the lack of them.

by ChuckD in

jw
friends

ever notice how the folks who are the most prone to lob an insult or accusation over the fence are also those who hide behind a closely guarded psudonym while online?

and, the majority of their barbs are aimed at those of us who are comfortable enough to be here as ourselves, using our real names.

i know that there are many folks who use psudonyms to protect their identity from those within the organization whould would rat them out to the brooklyn feds, but many others just like to hide behind a facade and shoot their slings and arrows from far offstage.

Isn't CHUCK D a Rapper and Black, Chuck my man
you aln't rappin' and if that is your picture you ain't black.
Talking about stones seems like your in need of viagra.
BTW---my name is Mark I live in Phx. and was raised
in N.J. my brother is also on this board and I'm not hiding
from know one.I have mentioned a lot about my life on other
forums of this board. The Elders know exactly how I feel and
can't prove me wrong they have chosen to leave me alone.
Why should I put my last name out there? Well, please
a real answer not some watchtower ring around the
rosarie. BTW this thread "sucks" "just wanted to lob an
insult over the fence"
Peace Out-------Mark
