what irritates me is when the car in front of me on the interstate leaves his turning signal on for 8 miles.
i was so irritated at this coming back from lunch today that all i could think of was, 'wouldn't it be great if i had a rocket installed in this little car so i could blow his car off the road?
' why do we get pissed at little stuff like this?

there are hundreds and hundreds of permitted extra-curricular activities for jw's to enjoy.
activities that have nothing to do with religion or worship where jw's can really have a ball!.
so, for all of you people who sometimes wonder if you should perhaps go back, lets all list the permitted fun things that any witness can do in his / her spare time.. i'll get the ball rolling:.

Pick Your Nose
Pick Your Butt

the nwt bible was writen from the original hebrew, greek, and aramaic .
manuscripts.
some found in the dead sea caves in 1950. there is no cost.
Questions JW's, ESPECIALLY BLEEP AND FRED CAN NOT ANSWER!:
1) List the "interpreters"? *Notice the flimsy......"oh, I got it in front of me but...uh ....gee....I cant type down the list of names" B.S.? BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE IT! This answer has to go down as the " Fred and Bleep must think we are really stupid" award. Morons.
2) Please supply EVIDENCE, other then WTS own publications (since they like to "self-proclaim" alot)...of ANYBODY from the WTS sitting down and directly translating from the Dead Sea Scrolls in to the NWT. I'll give you a hint: The people allowed to actually VIEW AND TRANSLATE the Dead Sea Scrolls are KEPT ON RECORD....hmmmm, funny....don't SEE their name on the LIST! I'm not going to do your work for you silly people...it's THERE...you find it! I didn't pay 65K to get my P.h.D. to give "free" answers". Frankly, Bleep and Fred are a waste of time. I could explain this to elementary students and they could grasp it.
3) Please supply at LEAST 5 professors (NOT OF THE WTS) in the dead languages that support and/or endorse the WTS New World Translation? That is AT LEAST 5. Not 1. Not 2. Not 3. Not 4. BUT 5 OR MORE! ( And NO "out of context" answers - direct FULL endorsements! )
But then again, what the hell do idiots like Bleep (college student my ass) and FredHall care? They don't. They belong to the 6-million people on this earth who need someone to tell them when, where, what, who, and how to wipe their cheeks club. They can not come up with any answer that is beyond the publications of the WTS. Fine example of "one who can not see past their own nose"....or in this case, the "governing body's nose". * YAWN *
Oh...and the best they will do, is try to give that "biased bibilical" answer about "wordly knowledge". In which case, will only further prove to everyone ( be Lurker, Jw, X-Jw, non of the above, etc.) that these morons can not debate, can not argue, can not jump out of their silly little boxes. * Yawn *
So...on ALL 3 of these points....you MAY NOT use any of the publications from the WTBTS to give your answers.

you know i was very content to just sit back on my dark throne of fire and let everything fall into place but jesus christ had to come along and mess things up for me.. i saw his post about how the jehovahs witnesses are not affiliated with him and god and yes it is true they are right.
for the record the group known as jehovahs witnesses are under my command and do my bidding.
as you well know they use fear to convert their members.
But since we all know that you are a lying murderer, why should we believe anything you say?
But since we all know that the JWs and WTBTS have been lying about; the pedophilia issue, God's name, false teachings, failed prophecies, articles condoning lying, 1975, you PERSONALLY making wagers and not honoring them, and condoning of the murder of JW children with it false blood doctrine, why should we believe anything you say?

from the april 1,2002 watchtower.
page 5 and 6.. to see the difference between having an accurate knowledge of the bible and having a passing acquaintance with what it says, let us consider what is commonly called the our father, or the lord's prayer, recorded at mathew 6:9-13.. millions regularly recite jesus' model prayer in church.
but how many have been taught its meaning, especially the first part of the prayer dealing with god's name and kingdom?
First, what is God's name? And second, why does it need to be sanctified?
Third, why did Jesus say OUR FATHER and not Jehovah, or Yahweh, or YHWH, or Tom, or Dick, or Harry? Why didn't he mention the name in the FIRST PLACE?!
You think, that if the NAME WAS SOOOOOO IMPORTANT....there would be evidence of Jesus using it JUST ONCE in ALLLLL the NEW testament?
"Accurate Knowledge"...yet another JW phrase that is translated as to "Our arrogant opinion".
For anyone who is CURIOUS as to some information:
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08329a.htm
http://www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk/Scriptures/www.innvista.com/scriptures/compare/name.htm
Anyone else find it humorous that the WTBTS has taken a "interpretation" from a what they deem "christendom"? Better yet, from the favorite religion organization they love to bash?
Not to mention, the way the WTBTS TWIST the prayer:
Our Father who is ( and/or which) in Heaven, hallowed be your name. { STOP }
You kingdom come. { STOP STOP STOP STOP } END OF SENTENCE, END OF SUBJECT.
Your Will be done IN IN IN IN earth. { STOP } Does it say the kingdom COME to earth? On Earth? Does it say anything here about any "kingdom" coming to/in/on/around earth??? NO! It says for God's WILL TO BE DONE! What is God's "will"? To be praised and acknowledged.
Rest of prayer etc. etc. etc. blah blah blah.
There is no SECRET knowledge, or hidden message.
It's funny. 1,860 years, and the only people to start preaching this are the JW's. No where else is there any record of ANYONE giving an interpretation or opinion of this "paradise earth" crap.
You think, that if there was going to be this "paradise earth"....JESUS CHRIST would of been SPECIFIC about it. Then again, the WTBTS likes to twist this around now, don't they? Read in to something that isn't there, to fit their theology and doctrine.
Ah hell...what's point? These "Self Righteous-Intollerant-Elitist-Bigots" JW's won't listen.
But, if there is any lurkers who are "studying" or "looking for info"....I guess perhaps they will consider another point of view.
