  I took one as part of my psych 103 class....
  
  In the first pic I saw a man and a woman in the kama sutra "lotus" position
  
  In the second, I saw a four legged woman "pleasuring" a platipus
  
  In the third, there was the first couple again (still at it) but this time with a pizza delivery boy wearing fishing waders, watching!
  
  The professor said, "I think your obsessed with sex"...
  I responded, "What do you expect, you're the one showing me all these dirty pictures?"

  the december 15th craptower's message is coming close on the heals of the useless tract that all the dubs have just dropped off on an unsuspecting public.

  the january 15th study article is called "the great day of jehovah is near yet again".

  *** we are living deep in the "time of the end.

  How do I turn in my time now that I'm DF'd?

  by 30girl in

  just wondering, since i talk about the wtbts now more than ever(being disfellowshipped does me that way), do i submit negative hours since it's all "apostate in nature"?

  shouldn't i be able to figure in some sort of multiplier (1.3 or 1.4) since people are more willing to listen to negative talk about the borg...what do you think?

  Hey 30girl,
  Since (luckily) the WTS publications are just as useful in supporting Apostate doctine as Borg doctine you should get credit for placing mags but don't forget that the hours don't count unless and equal number of hours are spent in the coffee/donut shop.
  
  As far as making sure the slips get recorded and in respect to not forcing anyone to fellowship with you, the old brick and rubber band method is hard to beat.... all you have to do is find a KH with windows.

  Katrina Relief Quickbuilds

  by roflcopter in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i had a jw friend stay at my house the past few days after getting back from doing a couple months of work in new orleans on quickbuilds.

  he told me all about whats going on there, etc.

  but one thing really ticked me off, and its amazing the money the wts is making offa this.. from what he told me is the wts is quickbuilding new homes for all the jw's who lost their homes in the hurricane and collecting the insurance payments that the homeowners recieve.

  Hi Roflcopter,
  
  I got to see the true colors of a lot of people here in the Houston area last year after Katrina and Rita. Made me wonder if the story of the good Samaritan had been ommited from the NWT. A brother came by my house in FS and in the course of our hour long discussion mentioned how much JW were taking care of one another after the hurricanes and how other religions were doing so little.
  
  The timing couldn't have been better as we stood in my driveway, 5 of the 21 people (all in the US illegally) that my wife and I had taken into our 4 bedroom home (for up to 3 months) came outside. I jumped at the chance to introduce them to my new "friend" and to the elder who had just shown up for re-enforcement. I asked if either of the brothers knew of any work that these hard working, honest people might could do to help themselves. The two avoided my question, returning to a doctinal point and never even asked how they might could help us with that many people.
  
  In all fairness, my father and mother (Dad's a witness, mom's DA'd) went out of there way with matresses, food, money, etc....
  
  Thanks to our "pagan" church family who stepped up in every imaginable way... One person even volunteered to pay for our $989 (one month) electric bill.

  What incident marked you most as a JW?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember once in the field service, a ms of about 70 years old, former elder, was in the field service with a brother and he drove him straight home even before going out in the field service.

  he had an argument with that brother in the car and i don't know exactly what it was about, but i know that this brother placed lots of importance in jesus unlike most jw's and i think this brother was talking too much about jesus door to door, and this old ms knew about this and told him off, but this brother didn't want to change his style, so he was driven straight home.. gee, i found that childish.. this jw that was driven home, belonged to another religion prior, and he never did accept to put jesus on the back burner.

  i wonder why he became a jw?

  Without a doubt... The death of my best friend, my brother.
  He had been DF's a few years earlier for sexual misconduct. He knew that he was dying from AIDS so he had plenty of time to examine his life and modify his conduct to the WTS standards. He had moved out of state and just prior to his death asked for some of the Local elders to come discuss his re-instatement with him.... After a couple of weeks, two Elders showed up and spent all of 15 minutes with him.... The bastards didn't even pray with him. He was completely repentant and living a spiritual life but all they could say was that since they were not the ones who had DF'd him. He would need to get with the Elders at the original KH (several states away.)
  
  Needless to say, my brother, probably the kindest person that I ever knew, never once waivered in his faith in God and in Jesus' ransom sacrifice, died feeling like he had no hope in the resurrection. because he was not part of Jehovah's organization.
  
  There are MANY other instances that come to mind but none compare to this.... The majority of the moments that still haunt me have one common thread. IMHO The WT society has VERY little capacity for genuine love. They really show who they are by their friut.

  Our Lawsuit against the WTS

  by gordon d in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can anyone share their input (stupid question) on the possibilties of former jw's or df'd dubs filing a personal or class action lawsuit against the wts or it's local congregations based upon defamation of character.

  in some states there is the provision of a slander/libel suit based upon "malicious use of truthful information".

  i would think that some precidence has been established by similar suits against other social and religious groups.

  My suggestion.... Crisis of Conscience for all you old friends. You know they'd love it but never get it for themselves.
  
  Was the chocolate spread you made referrence to "Nutella".... oooohhhhh "drool" Nutella!

  this is so stupid, but yesterday i was shopping and i saw this wild blouse and i thought-if i could dress how i really wanted to, i would buy that blouse.

  i walked away and was thinking-why the hell shouldn't i dress how i want to?

  because someone told me that orange paisley print is tacky?

  Obviously "who you really are" is some trampy slut type person... with a total disregard for stumbling the rest of us. I suppose I could let the color slide but PAISLEYS!?! Don't you realize that paisleys are nothing more than very ornate sperms????
  
  With Hussies like you and Monica Lewinsky parading around in there insemenated outfits... I'll just stay home and try to quickly change the channel during the Girls Gone Wild infomercials, Thank you!

  circuit ass-embly

  by bonnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just a few notes.

  the entire ass-embly was dealing with materialism or higher education; apparantly one leads to the other.

  why cant the wts realize that higher education is not just a means to get rich or ahead in this system, but a means to have a career outside of janitorial work?

  Holy crap!! .... I forgot all about the "quiet" signs. I wonder why they didn't go ahead and make the "OOOhhh", "Aaahhh", and "Applause" signs too?

  Hi Stillajwexelder,
  
  What "screws my mind" is how a person without the prerequisite penis can handle something as phallic as a microphone.... not to mention, can read the WT to the members who actually have external sex organs... How ever do you guys function in the UK???
  
  Now I'm really confused!
