LOL at burntheships' commentary!
Jesus said it is better to tear an eye out than to burn in Gehenna.
Yes, and fat burns rather well.

What To Say When Someone Says "If U Can Find A Religion That's Better......
by minimus in"if you can find a religion that's better than jehovah's witnesses, let me know where i can find it".....i've heard jws say this in defense of "the truth" that they know is not 100% right.. what would you say to a witness that suggests that jehovah's witnesses are still better than all the others???

I would use a couple cliches: "Religion is a snare and a racket." and "It takes one to know one." (No doubt that 1st phrase is familiar to a typical dub.)

What Was The Silliest "Offense" That You Were Counseled For?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager, i was told by an elder that because i smiled a lot and was known for my good sense of humor, that i should come across as "more serious".
so before i was appointed a ms, while in my late teens, i transformed myself into a much more "serious" brother.. were you ever told that you needed to work on something that you knew was stoopid?.

About three years ago, we had a talk at the hall concerning hairstyles after the CO's visit. We were told to look at the pictures in the publications and emulate those hairstyles. No spiked hair is allowed in our hall for those who serve in "priveleged" positions.

Just friends. Sure, men want women to be their friends. HA!
OTWO, why not? Maybe that is how the WT paints it and some of us tend to believe. But it is possible to just be friends. I have such a friendship and my wife doesn't mind. We're mature people.

I've noticed this, too. For me, it's usually between midnight and 6 am Eastern Standard Time when I can't get it to work.

If there is such a thing as "ONE TRUE RELIGION...
by JH inif there is such a thing as "one true religion", then lots of good honest god loving people will die at armageddon.. although jw's don't gamble, chosing the correct religion, if there is one, is a gamble.. .

Is Customer Service/Common Courtesy a dinosaur ?
by AK - Jeff ini have lamented for a long while about the lack of customer care in our area.
fast food restaurants have taken the fast food out it while the price keeps moving up.
service stations no longer exist - replaced by self fuel bays in front of a so called 'convenience store' - and typically manned by a grumpy cashier.

Man...you ain't kiddin'. And I thought it was just a local problem. But everywhere we go, we are getting lousy customer service.
However, I believe in the saying "You get what you pay for." Go to a classier, pricier restaurant, and their service will be fine if not exceptional.
I think it boils down to people fed up with getting paid minimum wage and expected to work as if they are getting paid twice that. I don't believe in that kind of work ethic, but I know those who do.
