Your life must be pretty bad if being a JW is an improvement.

Peace.

What do you think about the latest Mentalist episode? (SPOILERS!)

by will-be-apostate in

red john is sheriff thomas mcallister, which was a big surprise for me and also a bit dissapointing.

i was expecting a more complicated reveal of red john.

also the scene when jane kills him is just not that much epic as one would expect that it should be after 5 season of chasing.. however i look forward to see the way lisbon an the others get out of this mess.

This needed a *spoiler alert* for those who tape and watch later.

Why do Jehovah's Witnesses keep track of field service hours?

by Faithful Witness in

i understand that they claim to have the responsibility to preach to every corner of the earth, so they can encourage armageddon to come quickly.

(matthew 24:14 "and this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

what rationale do they have, for keeping track of their hours and literature placements?

BizzyBee

I get the sense that Mssr. "Stands For Pure Worship" actually stands outside of the Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. I get a real sense of apartness - that SFPW is on the outside looking in - not a true participant in the daily life of the congregation but a JW wannabe. He/she idealizes the motives and the objectives of the WTS organization, but does not truly share in the efforts to realize those goals. He/she does not reveal any genuine involvement - only philosophical observations about the JW's, but not from a personal perspective. What I guess you'd call a hypocrite.

How many hours did you report last month, SFPW?

BTW,

Jesus rebuked him and set an example for us saying, "Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth through Jehovah’s mouth."

Jesus never used the word "Jehovah." Ever.

Yet again proving the axiom of survival of the fittest. There is only so much that other humans can do to save the self-destructive from themselves.

Tea

i was raised on lipton tea.

my mother saw tea as the solution for everything.

no matter what the problem, she'd suggest a cup of tea.

Just so it's not tied to your tri-cornered hat, sir.

Love tea. It is now my morning drink of choice since my doctor told me to cut out caffeine.

I occaisonally drink decaffeinated coffee (black) but mostly decaffienated green and Earl Grey. Right now having cinnamon herb tea - always a cup at bedtime.
