by lowden in

jw
friends

it made me laugh when i saw the name of one of the prospective apostacurry pubs, the swan and graveyard was it ?.

so i got to thinking about making up some crazy pub names.

you buy your own personal 'winner' a pint at the 'postacurry'.....or if yer not going send 'em a 'cyber pint'.. the frog and bike spoke.

The Arse and Elbow

Still Together Then? (Cheeks of my Arse)

The Bear at Bottom

You...erm....LIKE bums do you Kitten...eh??

OK, more fictitious Pub Names....

The Relieved Arse - (Damn, there's that word again!!!) The first pub jailbirds hit when they get out of the clink.

The Rubber Neck - Pub next to the worst accident blackspot in the country.

The Shifty Glance - Freqented by men in long raincoats and trilbys who talk to you in half whispers and only finish half their pint.

Is ALL sin WILLFULL?

by gumby in

many time believers differentiate sin as willfull and non willfull.

is there a difference .....not including an honest mistake?

I'd like to see you say this when armageddon strikes when Jehovah and his son makes you crawl to the pits of hell for being a relentles sinner who mocks the almighty Jehovah!!!!!

.....and when that happens, i'll be mostly saying "Hey!......SIR!!.....See this middle finger?...This is for you!"

How quickly you have forgotten that David killed the big giant with a little tiny stone and avenged the blood of gods people.......so god owed him one.

......and the eleventy fifth commandment is...."And if thou ever dost kill a big 9 foot man in my name.....you can go and shag another mans wife and kill her husband, cos thatst willst be alrighteee by my standards".

What was the Average Attendence at your Kingdom Hall?

by jayhawk1 in

i don't think we ever had more than 75 for an average attendence at the local kingdom hall.

i was driving by there the other day when the thursday meeting was going on and it appears based on the cars that there is still about 75 people attending.

when i drive by churches of similar size [meaning the church building is about the same size (square footage) as a normal kingdom hall] there seems to me many more people, perhaps 110 or more attending.. i'm just curious if it seems to be a practice to keep jw congregations to around 75 to 100 people or not.

Erm.....No offence but....why does ANYBODY find this subject intriguing??

Sin is a bag of religious shit!!

Doing wrong to my fellowman is another thing. But sin? I don't SIN every bloody day!!! I'm not having ANY of that sinister mind-controlling bullshit anymore.

Once upon a time i might have believed that if all i'd done all day that was bad was swearing (in my head, even bad THOUGHTS for pitys sake, no watyout there!) that i'd SINNED. I was therefore a BAD person, deserved to die, needed jesus sacrifice, needed to bow and ask forgiveness. Sod OFF!! I say that to anyone who dares call me a sinner. It's all about CONTROLLING. You are BAD, you need to come to me (god and his visible representatives) and kiss my feet.

If anyone here has such low self-esteem that they need to call themselves in this way every day, then i feel sorry for them. It's truly sad.

The "New World" post Armageddon - childish fantasy

by Gregor in

jw
friends

the wts provides illustrations of well clothed and fed people standing around grinning at each other at some never ending picnic.

that's nice.

but with all the focus recently on the aftermath of hurricane katrina i got to thinking of the practical problems of a post-armageddon world.

lowden

You beat me to this one Gregor.

I've had this in my mind for a while now. This one is a big hurdle for the WTS to get over.

OH!......no i've got it!!

God's gonna need a helluva lot of birds to get rid of 6 billion bodies, so he'll just re-create pteradactyls....they'll eat LOADS. Yep, that'll do the trick!!

Ye of little faith.

How up are you on the music and musical artist, hot today?

by free2beme in

jw
friends

as i get older, i understand more the generation gap we always remembered being mentioned with our parents.

i always thought i was on top of the music scene, as i used to run a music and video store in the late 80's.

i thought it kept me on a path, that would keep me in the know of what was hot and what was not.

lowden

As a musician and performer i think that there is very little music coming through nowadays that is of the quality that would ensure it's going to still be being played in 20-30yrs time.

I would say i'm UP on the stuff that's good but it's not outstanding. Sadly the Record Companies control alot of what we listen to.

Many of the great artists are still recording and producing good stuff. Much of the good music is being made by artists that the major companies won't go near because they want the quick sell, which is usually the disposable tat.
