  Do you ever feel secure?

  today i had a thought and it sickened me to think it.

  i thought to myself 'it is possible that satan has blinded all of us and led us away.

  so i started to list the reasons why i know that the truth is a lie.

  I didn't post that to be mean... just to make a point.

  I propose the “Shot Gun” experiment... it is very simple. All you need is a shotgun (12 gauge will suffice) and one shell (game load or slug).

  Step 1: Load and chamber shotgun shell in said shotgun.
  Step 2: Position the barrel of the shotgun under your chin and point in the direction of the back of your head.
  Step 3: Disable safety on shotgun (If applicable)
  Step 4: Pull Trigger.

  If you successfully perform this experiment, then all of your questions regarding the supernatural and afterlife/resurrection will be answered.

  Note: A true believer should experience no hesitation while performing this experiment, as they are certain to find themselves in paradise.

  Where do you stand?

  by Elsewhere in

  i keep coming across posts of people who appear to be sympathetic to the jws.

  instead of calmly explaining their position, they start spewing obscenities or cursing or harass people they disagree with.. if these people were "christian" or a "loyal jw" they would not do these things.

  this leaves me confused.

  How old were you when you lost your virginity...

  how old were you when you lost your virginity and was it all that you thought it would be?????.

  i was 19, and my first time was a complete let down.

  i envisioned that gothic romance motif, all about romance and love, i didn't know what i was doing, didn't know sex was like that.

  I have to go with Clinton on this one... it all depends on what definition of "sex" is being used.

  WT Bomb Factory signs deal with US Navy

  by DevonMcBride in

  more hypocrisy from the watchtower.

  it seems as if rand cam engine corporation signed a contract with the us navy to supply parts for their "smart" bombs.

  the watchtower bible and tract society owns 50% stock in rand cam engine corporation (rgus).

  You should be able to write to the Indiana State Secretary and request information about the corporation. Ownership and other information about corporations is public.

  how did going to the kingdom hall, interfere with your tv viewing?

  i love watching american football, so right after the meeting all in my family would go straight for the car, so we could catch as much as possible.

  The BS group met at my house when I was a kid. It started at 7:30PM, but ALF started at 7:00PM... so we would all watch ALF as people arrived and then start the BS when it was over.

  honestly, .

  if you believe in the new world order, and that type of stuff.

  do you believe the jw's were started or operate for some type of new world order experiment.

  Amazing,

  I seem to remember during the trial that a preservative chemical was found in at least one blood sample from the crime scene. This implies that the blood was extracted from OJ into a blood-sample test tube (with preservatives) and then put at the crime scene. Do you recall any details about this?

  There was also a "mystery envelope" that the judge had for awhile, but I didn't follow the trial enough to find out what was in it.
