Anyone remember in 'Full Metal Jacket' when Private Joker was arguing with that big jar head dude (after boot camp and in the war) and the jar head said "You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?"
Not so bad except for the reaction by everyone there. "Wooooooooo....Oooooooo..." Like he said something that was so impressive.
Pretty corny

"That I may make a reply to him that is taunting me"
by under_believer inso for our "congregation book study", we are still deeply mired in the bible teach book.
this week's lesson talks about the whole idea that the book of job relates the central issue of the entire cosmos, a vital issue raised by satan, where satan questions whether humans follow god because of what they are given, or because he deserves it.
i'm surprised that the book of job, obviously archetypal and figurative (for example, i doubt people back then literally spoke for hours in hebrew verse, and i doubt that four messengers showed up all in a row with stories telling that they, only they, got away to tell of a disaster) even has a place in the canon; aside from its lack of any specific historical position or accuracy, the argument it advances (especially as the society interprets it) is facile: the idea that privileged, wealthy, powerful job somehow stands as a representative for all humanity and serves as a litmus test for man's interaction with god is downright silly.

If your father instructed you not to touch an open flame. You would not understand the meaning of being burnt until you touched it.
But if my father were the almighty, we (my father and I) wouldn't need to have that conversation. He would make me perfect so I wouldn't have to know what being burnt felt like. I would never need this knowledge. Being a loving father, He wouldn't punish me and my offspring for the sin of two people whom I've never met. He would have made that sin impossible. He wouldn't hide his self from me and make me rely on the word of man to know He exists. (The bible says it's inspired. Man wrote that it was inspired. Men say a lot of things) He, being a loving God, would, at the very least, give me 1 minute of his time and reveal himself to ME so I wouldn't have to guess. He would be so wise and powerful He wouldn't need to play "have faith" games.
So, He would not make us pick out every little verse of an ancient book and over analyze it. Look at all the long posts on 1 scripture. Why would He do this? He could open the heavens for 30 seconds and say, "Children, I am here, and my name is Jehovah." That's it, end of story. If He loves us, why not the 30 seconds. Faith? I am sure the little baby who is laying in dirt starving to death right now really appreciates 1) The point He is proving 2) The endless time and money spent to pick apart and war over parables 3) Hearing some missionary telling him, "He loves you."
All this blah blah blah over what He meant sickens me. If He wants to tell us something, He will.
Sorry, JMHO --mnky

The fall means Philadelphia Eagles time for me. Halloween and thanksgiving are pretty fun too.
Fall has a feel and a smell that I think is more distinct than any other season.

What shocked you first, into realizing the world was not like the JW's?
by free2beme ini left the witnesses in 1997. i was trying to make new friends and met some people through the gym.
my spouse and i went to their house for some dinner, and we thought it would be a great time.
also, we wanted to get to know people that were not witnesses and get a foot-hold into our new life.
