there are a few terms i cannot stand that jw's use and now i have to consciously convince myself not to use:.
1. the truth - um nothing could be further from being accurate.
2. worldly - as if they are 'other worldly' or 'supreme beings'.

Hope and Flipper,
Thanks you guys. I hope we all can meet someday.
I just have to finish up my degrees and then I'll have a little time to start traveling again.

i coined this the other day on another thread and it seemed to get a laugh out of a few people.. and since were talking about it, what other great terms could we come up with in the spirit of "the borg," the filthful and disgraceful slavebugger (a fave of mine)......??
?.
Goddamn....you guys are funny!!!!!!!
BFD
Dub Snub is the best one yet!!!!!!!!!!

I've known plenty of Dub loons myself....they have way more than their fair share.

You're on the right track...I like it... but it needs a little something...let's mull it over and see if we can make something a little more catchy.
By the way, InthePink, I meant to say welcome to the board. I was a native Floridian until 1999 (Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood, Delray Beach). Where do you live?
It is really encouraging to see someone at your age have the gumption to question the BORG.
All the best,
Alex
Huh?????
Winnower, do you know Obves and JCanon?
AMEN, Sister!!!!!
let's say your spouse admitted to having sex with animals, you went to the elders and they told you that you were not free to remarry -- but you went ahead, divorced the scumbag, and remarried someone else.
you, of course, got disfellowshipped.
since then, the society reverses its position.
As Gary "Buss" is fond of saying.... check the rules.
Rule 1:
The GB are always right.
Rule 2:
If the GB are wrong see Rule 1.
Rule 3:
There are no other rules.
Got it?
for me, it's having friends that i don't have to hide my lack of meeting attendance/service from.
it's amazing how they teach you that only jws can be your real friends, but in reality, it's all contingent upon your religious "performance.
" sure, if you're not going to meetings, they'll try to be "friends," by encouraging you to go back.
Having the time, circumstances, and the chance to FEED MY MIND!!!!!!!
as you well know, the chief difference between the left (democrats/liberals) and the right (republicans/conservatives) comes down to one thing.. the size of government and the role of government.. with that in mind i ask for your informed opinion.. 1.what does government do that isn't wasteful, inept and costly that the private sector can't do better?.
2.why do people disagree on the role of government when there are thousands of examples of where government fails to provide?.
3.do you think government automatically becomes efficient, orderly and manageable when your preferred party takes office?.
Hi Terry,
I always enjoy your posts. This conversation about government reminds me of Winston Churchill when he said:
Democracy is a bad form of government....unfortunately it's the best thing we've got.
I am jammin' at school right now, but will post a more thoughtful comment later.

WA,
No.....I was using Dub Grub to refer to the shit the BORG leadership attempts to deliver as "spiritual food."
Although, I do know what you are talking about with the food -- junk snacks and field circus breakfast breaks.
