  that's right, i was at frys browsing around to kill some time and while i was in the computer section i saw a kid and his dad looking at monitors.

  the kid apparently had never seen a crt monitor before.

  damn... makes me feel old.

  JW's, science, and how old is man?

  by clovis in

  one thing that always got me about the org.

  was how they praised modern science when it upheld or agreed with their thinking or doctrines.

  however they totally bashed it when it refuted something they taught.

  Science or Art, which best describes the human condition?

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i ask this question because, as a young man i would have said science is the only and best way to describe who and what we are.

  when you think about it, the wtb&ts fits into the science camp, having a dogmatic; everything can be explained type attitude.

  now i am older am less sure.

  Do you have any kind of obsession?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm obsessed with new cars.

  i'd trade a $50,000 car for a brand new $40,000 one the year after, and trade it again for a $30,000 brand new one the year later, and trade it again for a $20,000 one year after that.

  as long as i get a new one every year or so, i love the feeling, even if it's less equipped.

  Nathan H. Knorr was a big baby

  by under_believer in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  reading crisis of conscience by raymond franz today i came across an account of how knorr acted when franz, alone among governing body members, suggested that the monarchial system of absolute power vested in knorr and his predecessors was unscriptural, and since they had removed that arrangement from the congregations (replacing it with a body of elders arrangement) they should do the same thing at the headquarters: in each case of my doing so, however, the president took the remarks very personally, speaking at great length, his voice tense and forceful, saying that 'evidently some were not satisfied with the way he was handling his job.

  ' he would go into great detail as to the work he was performing and then would say 'now apparently some don't want me to handle things anymore' and that perhaps he should 'bring it all down here and turn it over to ray franz and let him handle it.

  yes folks, this was the way the society's president from 1942 to 1976 acted.

  Embarassing moment involving a bra and an interview

  by kristyann in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i went to this job interview this morning (my semester is finished, and i am looking for something for the summer, and my jury duty just ended, which hopefully i'll get a chance to tell you about some other time).

  so i applied at this doctor's office to just do office work and filing and stuff like that.

  the place is really great and laid back and it seems like a really fun place to work!.
