  Issue Facing Apostates

  by Mishnah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most of the stuff posted here is negative, hateful, and blasphemous against god.

  even if many of you are right in saying that the jws are wrong on many and important issues, that does not make you right.

  so unless you are convinced that there is no biblical god you are facing serious trouble when you die or if the lord comes during your lifetime.

  Where Will You Go With All That Money?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i love to read the stuff that is posted by the newbie ex-dubs, especially when they start to rejoice in their new-found freedom.. so!

  now that you're an "outie", you may well find that you also have some increased income to play with.

  well, look at the enormous savings you'll make by not having to attend assemblies, travel to the kh, put money in the box etc etc.

  JUSTICE #2 - Making Mole Hills into Mountains

  by Amazing in

  making mole hills into mountains .

  we had a wonderful and most exemplary family in our congregation.

  they are hard workers, hospitable, caring, generous, suffer with you through hardship, kind, compassionate, and as loyal to the organization as any family could be.

  Trevor,

  Scary coincidence. I bought a sheath knife when I was a teenager and hid it in the garden shed. It was duly discovered by my mother and reported to our then PO. He reduced me to angry tears by asking me whether I could imagine Jesus walking around with a sheath knife. He insisted that I hand it over to him which I reluctantly did. I learned a valuable lesson - find a better hiding place!

  SO! now that you're an "outie", you may well find that you also have some increased income to play with. How so? Well, look at the enormous savings you'll make by not having to attend assemblies, travel to the KH, put money in the box etc etc. Plus, there lots of extra time available in which you can earn some luverly lolly.

  Lets imagine then, that it's a year from now and you have quite a few hundred $$$'s or £££'s or krone, lets say enough to last you a month living reasonably well in any part of the world that you choose to travel to.

  BUT! You want this to be an unforgettable trip in which your horizons are broadened hugely, in short you are looking for this trip to give you a new take on life, something that will put your own life in perspective. Maybe you want this trip to be a catharsis to your time as a dub, maybe you just want an all inclusive holiday with unlimited booze and sunshine. Either way, this is a journey that you could never have afforded all the while that you were a JW.

  So, first off, where would you go? How would you spend your time? And how do you see this journey ultimately benefitting you?

  The Horse's Ass Award for May 2001

  by seven006 in

  2. friends

  in every news group, discussion board and chat room there seems to be a few individuals that never seem to completely grasp the art of thinking.

  their need to disrupt and irritate reach superstar status in the realm of stupidity.

  the desire for attention and recognition though sophomoric post's and chat room spamming becomes as much a part of the entire internet experience as the valuable and useful contributions of others.

  Hmm, I can see that this is going to be a tricky one, not nearly as straightforward as the UK election which only requires a promise from Tony Blair that England will definitely qualify for the World Cup in order to get him back in.

  The wotsit in the woodpile is undoubtedly our cuddly pal Yadirf. Bouncing as he does between outright vulgarity and schoolboy prudishness together with an unfortunate habit of padding out his posts with old quotes, he nonetheless does posess a sense of humour.

  YK has no redeeming features whatsoever, is he a Sicilian?

  That leaves us with Logical. Indeed he is an aggravating little turd, but the trouble is that he makes the girls go all soppy and motherly, they wouldn't vote him Horses Arse in case he threatened to commit suicide.

  That's decided me, I'm voting for the rude prude.

  My Epiphany

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, folks.

  i just had a minor epiphany.

  its a wonder it never dawned on me before, because it should have been so obvious.. we can forget about doing any more research or any more exegesis.

  Farkel,

  I really enjoyed that, I'm just about to print it off.

  I was just wondering if your musical ear thought there could be some similarities between certain kingdom songs and other classics.

  I have in mind "We thank you Jehovah", sounds vaguely as though it is part of Haydn's "Creation": "The heavens are telling".

  Then there's "Keep your eyes on the prize", sounds very similar to "Some day my prince will come" from Snow White.

  The only other one that I query is "How pleasant to see brothers who dwell in unity", which to my uneducated ear sounds like Loony Toones at half speed.

  Nice post by the way, most enjoyable.

  Beryl Cook, Strippers, JW's and Osarsif.

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  this is a painting by the present most-popular living artist, beryl cook.. last weekend, i saw in the window of a local art-gallery another fine painting by beryl cook.

  it featured 2 jw ladies leaning inside a householders doorway.

  one of them was holding a huge copy of the watchtower.. this morning i telephoned the gallery, only to be told that the print had been sold, and, no, they didn't know what it was called.. so, i was wondering, has anyone else come across this print?

  Friday,

  Whatever. At the end of the day, You Know is back-peddling like a clown cycling along a tightrope watching the end working loose.

  He knows he went too far and is trying to save face. What amazes me is that the guy who has all the gen on him is being magnaminous enough to give him some slack.
