Fundraiser: Pancreatic cancer : Raffle Man Utd shirt signed by team
by Diogenesister inyou might have noticed some of my comments over the last few months have been a bit down.. you see my wonderful brother, marcus, is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer.
to make things worse, as if they could be, he was finally blessed with his first child, liliana, 19 months ago and we're all absolutely heartbroken for this little girl.. my sister joined a running club some years back and she's finally got a place to run the london marathon 2020. she's donating money raised by the run to pancreatic cancer uk.
they're currently researching for a test...its basically why the prognosis for this cancer is so poor, there are few very specific symptoms... until it's too late.. her footie mad boyfriend has got his paws on a signed man utd football shirt which they are raffling.

My dyed in the wool religious fanatic Jehovah's Witness mother died in the year 2000. She was in intensive/critical care most of the time from November 1999 through March 2000. In her last weeks she kept asking me to take her home from the hospital because she KNEW that Armageddon was only a matter of weeks away and she wanted to hold on long enough to live into the new system. Her Armageddon came in March 2000 just about 20 years ago. And so it goes.

the Watchtower guide to sex.
by stan livedeath init occurs to me the gb probably dont have much experience when it comes (!
) to marital sex guidance, so i think its only fair and reasonable we should put together a few hints to help them publish a suitable guide.. it is well known a lot of jw's get married in order to have sex, and all to frequently the marriages fail, possibly due to sexual problems, so the watchtower guide to sex should prove to be very worthwhile.. any jw courting couple intending to get married should be allowed to have a copy of the guide, and should only be available by a special order through the body of elders.. copies are not available to any single bros and sisters.. all and any advice in it must adhere to bible principles, and certainly no salty language or smut will be allowed.. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
so--to get this started--and in no particular order--here is my first suggestion:.

If you study this manual hard enough, perhaps you can become a cunning linguist.

Gwyneth Paltrows candles in the wind
by smiddy3 inare you put off with gwyneth paltrow`s marketing of a brand of candles she advertises as "smelling like my vagina " ?.
she sure has gone down in my estimation as an actress and /or role model for young women if that what she was ever about in the first place .. how gross is that ?
and the interview i saw after this with her was one big joke ?

Gwyneth Paltrow is 'ripping off' an idea of Larry Flynt's from the 1970's. In the August 1977 issue of HUSTLER magazine, Larry Flynt had a "scratch and sniff" centerfold. Everything old is new again. (Not supporting, just reporting as Blondie would say)

Wt. April 2020 Revised Joel Prophecy
by BluesBrother inif this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.
”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.
they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.

Do you mean to tell me that this god intoxicated, religious fanatic was not a spiritual locust helping to feed mankind great biblical truths but rather a fraudulent leech living off the largesse of the ignorant faithful flock?

Rec'd a letter from my Dad - need some advice...
by Fadeaway3pointer infader here - last meeting was in autumn 2005. lurker on this site and others.
not one to get all controversial.. typical situation, pretty much a born in and left the church at age 38 and never looked back.. i'm 53 now, parents getting older - late 70s but very active, dad is still an elder.. parents, in laws, brother and brother-in-law still uber active jws.. my family (wife and 2 adult children) out since 2005.. we have stayed close to our parents - we have treaded religion lightly and have had a pretty good relationship and have kept our personal lives and beliefs/opinions separated from them.
this was intentional - as we love them and do not want anything to cause shunning since they are getting older and want to be there for them and we respect their beliefs.. got this letter today.

To me it reads like a "Letter of Termination" from a corporate HR office.
Fanatical religious people can't think clearly. I remember many years ago someone was putting their personal rubbish in my business dumpster. I decided to go through it and see who it belonged to. In the rubbish was a letter from a devout Pentecostal deacon to his son. The deacon had written a similar letter to his son as the one that you received. His son had decided that he didn't want to be a Pentecostal anymore and the father was playing the same distancing game as your parents. The only difference was that the father knew his son was going to burn in HELL. We love our parents (well mostly) but we can't live our lives for them any more once we grow up. I feel bad for you but you have a wonderful nuclear family of your own that deserves all of your love and devotion. Best wishes.
