A funny prayer...out of the mouths of babes....
by megsmomma inthis story is cute in a way....but also disturbing since it does show how jw's brainwash their young.. when my daughter was 5 she was visiting me and at night i would listen to her pray (at that time i was still not free from the guilt, ect) well, she started out "dear jehovah....ooohhhhhhh jehovah......(sounded just like her dad) thank you so much for this food we're about to recieve..." no, we were not about to eat!
i had to see she was imitating what she had heard many times....and i laugh, but it makes me sad too.
at least i know that their truth really isn't in her heart....just her brainwashed mind, and for some reason....i think that is much better..

BabaYaga, you know what, I should try to contact him. His parents are weird 200% jw. At my last attended meeting he kept starring at me, I was annoyed at that time, but I know think he saw the positive change in me. I put on weight and looked much better while a complete change from pio, ms, running up and down the hall pleasing the elders right into inactivity in one day to the next. A little while after that I heard he got d’fed. Due to his parents I wonder if he had outside help. He should be around 20 today. If I do find him there is so much I could tell him.

by Sam87 inok, lets have a discussion about where we all came from, evolution or creation?

I’ve been following this thread and there were/are periods when it was just like banging ones head against a wall, but happily the discussion continues.
Complaining about running in circles while answering with reverse questions does not make sense.

Oprah for President in '08. Why? Why not?
by AuldSoul ini have seen the idea floated a few times in some interesting places, but also on threads here.. i think she would get the vote out in a way it has never been gotten out before.
it would also throw all the pollster's margins of error way out of whack (which might be worth it, all by itself).. why do you think she should be or could be elected president?.
why do you think she shouldn't be or couldn't be elected president?.

Oprah who? Do you mean the talk show host? That's the only Oprah I can think off? Didn’t know she’s in politics. I don’t know, maybe you are talking about someone completely different. fts

That was cute. And it reminded me of this family with two little boys in our congregation. When asked to count they would count, "…16, 17, 18, 19, 14, 15,…" (Get it? lol)
One of them got baptized being about 9 years old and got disfellowshipped with 12. I have absolutely no idea what a 12 year old can do to get disfellowshipped!?

The WTS should be having these campaigns more then they already do! I remember when we had a series of watchtowers about "Babylon’s fall and destruction" with the picture of the woman on the beast on the front page. Every congregation was to order an extra amount of copies for this campaign.
When the secretary came to ask me (mag.-servant) how many publishers have ordered extra copies I told him not many, they are embarrassed about the picture. He wasn’t happy about that and gave me a big number to fill out into the order sheet. Well, apart from very few nobody picked up extra copies for the FS. So we got stock with the magazines and had to report this back to the branch.
I know many will be embarrassed about this campaign. Maybe it will get them to think this time. Poor jws, luckily all they need to do is leave the tract in the letter box.

Please tell me that you think I am making this up. Please, please, please!Yes, but have you drunk your camel urine today?
XJW4EVR, seems like you have learned many things from the bible, following Rabshakeh’s example that is!

XJW, if there is something you want to prove, go right ahead! Your question reminded me of Rabshakeh’s defiant speech (2 Kings 18:27). He mentioned "urine drinking" in order to ridicule.
On the other hand, there are many people of different backgrounds who claim "urine drinking" is very therapeutic, even camel urine.
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/urine.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine_therapy
"First of all, let us clarify the reason and story behind the prescription. Some people had become very ill at the time of the prophet, and were suffering from an unknown illness. Their bellies had swollen and they were not in a fit state. Hence, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, that they would find a cure in the milk and urine of a camel and so he sent them out to an area where camels were grazing fresh herbs. These men went to this area and drank the milk and urine. Sure enough, just like the Prophet said, they were cured and became fit and healthy.
Yet the Prophet had said in another Prophetic saying that body excretions, such as blood, pus, urine, etc, was filthy and prohibited in Islamic law. It is Islamically prohibited for a Muslim to drink their urine. Muslim scholars came to the conclusion that the real meaning of this the Prophets odd prescription is that if a person needs to consume an impure and impermissible substance as a cure for an illness, and no other reasonable alternative is available, then it is permissible
In all other circumstances, camel urine or ANY animal urine is prohibited.
As for human urine, it is forbidden no matter what; the Prophet Muhammad told us that it is simply waste matter, and is filthy and impure (a Muslim can not pray if he has any on his clothes)."

Trade Centers/Pentagon
by Butters ini was wonderin' how you guys see the conspiracy of the trade center demolition and the attack on the pentagon?
it has been well established now some years later that there must have been detonation devices lining the elevator shafts of the three trade towers that collapsed.
after 1 and 2 fell, no one really ever questioned the way that 3rd one fell in the same manner (pancake collapse style, as a controlled demolition goes).
