Lol. You know how people would quote scriptures in greetings cards if you were ill etc. I used to quote the scriptures with the dashes.

5The Missing Scriptures
by WTWizard inhas anyone noticed when reading the new world translation, that there are numerous dashes where scriptures are supposed to be?
you look through, find the number, but instead of the text there is a dash.
and, when you question it, all they say is that the king james version had a "spurious" scripture there.. the real reason was that, wherever a scripture that blatantly undermined the watchtower society appears, they deleted it.

A girl i knew once wet herself during the closing prayer of a circuit assembly, probably because it went on forever. She was stood in front of me and you could hear the fluid hitting the floor because of the relative silence. She was about 14-15. We used to call her 'fivehead' because she had a large forehead. But not to her face.

So. If they wish to argue that only a fool could possibly believe that a cell could spontaneously spring into existence, how do you go about explaining the existence of a god? Did he spontaneously spring into existence or did he evolve? 'Right thinking ones' couldn't possibly say that god came to being in a 'big bang' manner, because that concept has been so heavily poopooed over the years. Nor could he have evolved in any way, because the wtbts' flawless logic has proved, without a shadow of a doubt, that things cannot change over a period of millions or billions of years. That would be just stupid.
So I'm tempted to go to the study for this watchtower and put my hand up. "Yes brothers", I would say, "As only an idiot would believe these haughty god denying scientist who say that things can just spring into existence(which they don't), the only logical conclusion therefore brothers is that god must have had a designer, as he is infinitely more complex than a single celled organism, what with creating billions of universes and all that. Ultimately, using the logical thinking which the society have displayed in this watchtower, I can categorically state therefore that god cannot be 'The Alpha and Omega' as he says he is, and is therefore a liar."

If I handed in a paper like that ... I'd fail!
by Frequent_Fader_Miles insomething always bugged me about the society's publications.
they'd always use phrases like "many persons do this" or "one expert says", or "many believe".
the person being referred to or quoted is always veiled in obscurity.

Yep, just reading the 'What does design in nature reveal' Watchtower article, what a blinder.
"A science professor notes that the general public "overwhelmingly, and sensibly, thinks that life was designed."" Page 6.

"Read the bible daily"
by veen incorrect me if i'm wrong, but i used to think that on one of the brooklyn bethel buildings there used to be a big sign saying, "read god's word the bible daily", or something along those lines.
well i went there recently and i saw a big sign saying, "read the watchtower and awake!
" not necessarily daily though, that was not specified.

Yep, my mistake it seems. I think there may have been something obscuring it at the time. Either that or I just couldn't see it because it was tucked out of the way down the bottom there, unlike the 'watchtower and awake' sign which is at the top for everyone to see.

Crazy-Ass Apostates
by GetBusyLiving inwhats the most outrageous thing you have ever heard of an apostate doing to get back at the witnesses?
a while back on here i heard of some guy that was hugely pissed about the 1975 fiasco.
he dressed up in one of those ancient drama outfits and stormed the stage at a convention screaming, " i'm the faithful and discreet slave!!!!".

I went to Brooklyn Bethel last year and had my photo taken in the lobby giving the 'horns' sign. Went in the museum bit. No mention of pyramids.
