The Powers of SuperMom:

X-Ray Vision: Explains why they know if you're wearing dirty underwear or not, or see through walls to check on what your doing.

Heat Vision:When she tells ya "everything is going to be all right", with those comforting eyes...you get that warm fuzzy feeling?

OR

Ever get your mom pissed off? Her eyes widen, staring at you? Then you feel all hot, and turn red?

Super Hearing: You can be at one end of the house, she can be at the other. And no matter what, if you are doing something dasterdly--no matter how quiet---She can always hear it.

Faster then a Speeding Bullet: Ever see a 5 year old out run their mother?

More Powerfull then a Locomotive: Integrity and Love greatly surpass the strength of any train.

Able to Leap a Tall Building in a Single Bound: But more often, the living room sofa, your trike, toys, etc. etc.

Happy Mom's Day to all you ...uh...well...Moms :)

Is Anything Worth Dying For?

by HildaBingen in

jw
friends

i often hear people here talk about the horrible jw willingness to die for blood transfusions.

maybe jws are mistaken when it comes to the bt issue; maybe not.

however i wonder if there is anything that is really worth dying for in this life.. for me, to live is christ and to die is gain.

D8TA

I will gladly die in the name of Christ and Yahweh. I thus do not fault JWs if they think they need to die to be loyal to God.

{edited because I thought I had the first response to this post}

Okay, you're baiting. And YES, you are a TROLL. You set up this question:

For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Don't get me wrong. I do not have some type of death wish. But I think some things are worth being persecuted for and even dying for--in this life. Do you all think that a person should preserve her present life at all cost?

You asked a very VAGUE question. Either that, the way you set up your post was in poor form.

You asked: "Do you ALL (pointing to the current posters of this board as a "collective") think that a person should preserve HER(singular---the "subject" is yourself) present life at all cost?

I've read your other post. Either you are:

A) a "young" JW (by association or baptism) trying to pass off as someone who is not a JW.

B) A very coy former poster trying to throw your usual troll stuff in
to the mix.

C) FredHall having a conversation with their self.

But one thing is certain...you are a TROLL.

I'm just too smart for my own good!

by lv4fer in

jw
friends

when the elder called to talk to me the other day, he told me that one of my problems was that he didn't want to boost my ego, but that i have a higher than average intellectual ability and part of my problem was that i look too deep into things.

i tend to analyze things a bit too much.

he thinks its because i went to college, that may be part of my problem.. imagine that, i'm just too smart.

Let me translate what the ELDER was saying to you:

"lv4fer you are starting to think. You are not letting the society think for you. But I don't want to say it's your fault, because that would be direct attack...so I'll say it's because of your college knowledge. So in conclusion...Less Individual Thinking, more Society Thinking For You".

"Benefits of a Bethel Vacation"-NOT!

by Nikita in

jw
friends

http://www.bethelcoachtours.com/3waystosave.htm .

the best vacation on earth.

the best vacation on earth for jehovah's witnesses is one that includes a bethel visit.

D8TA

Uh....yah.

I kind see this in a funny way:

Sister Rankinfile: Oh Jannie, we are going to Bethel/Bethel Branch for our summer vacation!

Jannie Rankinfile: But moooom, you said we are going to Disneyland!

Sister Rankinfile: Now Jannie, why do you want to hurt Jehovah by saying that? Don't you want to see how Jehovah's "little helpers" work at the printing presses?

Jannie: No, I wan't to see Mickey Mouse.

Sister Rankinfile: Jannie, believe me, I know better. That sunny weather in California or Florida is not as much fun as riding in a tour bus. Or those rides and silly characters walking around Disneyland are in no way more entertaining then watching those hard working brothers and sisters putting paper in machines.

Or how ...about...uh....

Screw it Jannie, you're right, we ARE going to Disneyland.

Which is worlds most civilized nation?

by sleepy in

jw
friends

which is worlds most civilized nation?.

what do you reckon, if there is indeed such a thing as the most civilized country.. to be civilized means:cause to improve from a savage or primative form of human society to a more developed one.. so that rules out any country that allows its inhabitans to run round armed to the teeth.. the country would need good standards of living, and education.. laws that allow maximun freedoms without impinging too much on other people.. good safty codes and regulations and good care for elderly .. so who is doing it best in the world at the moment?.

To be civilized means:cause to improve from a savage or primative form of human society to a more developed one.

"Civilization" or to be "Civilized" is an issue that comes from a pre-determined philisophical point, from one's culture and society. One groups "civility" can be viewed as "savage" by another.

It's a "point of view" issue. All nations and tribes of the world are "civilized", and yet at the same time they are not. Some societies equate Art and Architecture to be examples of civilization. Others equate Morality. Others equate Social/Political values....etc. etc. Get it? :)

I think in our modern era of communication and knowledge, I believe it would be a benifit to humanity to pretty much drop the "civilization" debates. It tends to "exclude" when it's "inclusion" we as humans, are in great need of. Find the strength in our diversities, not the superiority.

most people on this site already know that the jw religion has some really quirky beliefs.

some can be silly, but unfortunately others dangerous.

i find the jw belief on the properness of surrogate mothers to be rather silly.. .

What do the Catholics & JWs have in common?

by Jankyn in

jw
friends

while discussing the current state of affairs re: pedophilia in the catholic church with a friend, i started talking about the same situation within the jws.

she asked me, what do the two have in common that makes it possible for molestations to be covered up and denied?

in short, what do they have in common that has allowed them to get away with it for so long?.

D8TA

When I finally jumped outta the "box" and started to analize the WTBTS, I concluded that they are nothing more then a shadow on the sidewalk to the Catholic Church, a distorted reflection of it. Sure, there are those conflicting and opposite views of doctrine and theology. Yet, WTBTS "mimicks" the actions of the Catholic Church.....from the frickin DARK AGES. It's something political about it, on social and clergy areas.

I really can't put a finger on it, nor want to bore all of you with long winded explanation of mine. But to put it in terms; If the WTBTS was to look in to a murky mud puddle, it would see the Catholic Church as it's reflection.
