When the Cosby show was on primetime Tuesdays at 8pm
Cosby came on Thursday nights, because if was killing the ratings of Magnum PI, on CBS which was a Thursday night show. In one of the Golden Girls episodes when they're planning the funeral of their mean neighbor who wanted to cut a tree down, they even make a reference to Cosby coming on Thursday nights
you have to wonder why a congregation which claims to have love among itself would not do something to help this poor off member of the congregation.
oh wait a minute, they preached to him, got him in, so now he's on his own - just like all the rest of them!

My father had a saying before he died, "They have 'love' on their lips, but none in their hearts!"
If ever asked to describe the JWs just use above sentence
When my mother died, I knew the folks in the Cong were not going to come and visit me like they did when my dad died at my mothers house, however I must say just "3" did stop by the day after but I wasn't home. Only 2 phone calls from folks who called who knew my family for decades. HOWEVER, my aunt of course told a few of her friends that she lost her sister, and three of her friends who I never met or could identify if my life depended on it called me and offered their condolences. Which phone calls do you think meant more to me, the big two (out of hundreds from the same Cong my mom went to) that knew my family forever, or the three from people I don't even know and the Borg would call them "worldly people"?
Like Blondie said above, action speaks louder than words.
Satan deliberately put some great TV programs on meeting nights.
He sure did, only saw them when sick are when the CO visited and mtgs were rearranged that week
I remember Petticoat Junction and The Red Skelton show came on, on Tuesdays nights back in the 60's, so did Maude never saw that show back then in late 70's as well as Happy Days, and don't get me started on Friday nights when back in the 60's and early 70's we had our Ministry on that night
evidently they have changed their creative day from being 7000 years per day.
all blood transfusions were taboo but now blood fractions might be allowed to be taken into the body.
vaccinations were sinful at one time but not now.. can you name other views or beliefs that have changed from being considered “truth” to no longer “the truth “?.
I don't even know why you bother to post such a question since the whole Borg is based on flip flops. However, I'll add a one or two, remember when the Tuesday night book study, or area study, as some of us old timers remember it, was to be called rendezvous? Also around 1969 at the DA it was announced that elders would rotate every year? I know they stopped it, but since I haven't been to mtg since the 80's have they started rotating again?
Bonanza used to come on Sunday at 9pm, some folks had there Sunday night meeting that late?
When I was still living at home and my parents went to the mtg - Margarita Night !! (or whiskey sour night)
hypocrisy in the org.
just off the top of my head, i came up with a bunch of examples showing the jw's hypocrisy.
any others to add?.
BourneIdentity - you question the hypocrisy of the Borg? That's what they're based on !!
Everyone knows two things about the Borg, they don't celebrate Christmas and they don't take blood. There is a picture from the 1940's or 50's that show them celebrating Christmas at Bethel and there's a tree behind them with everyone gathered it around it,so, when did Jehovah write an addendum to the bible in the 1940's saying " it is no longer acceptable for JWs to celebrate Christmas ?
Also everyone knows Dubs don't take blood, what scripture now says you can now take blood fractions? BTW, just where do blood fractions come from? Like a cotton fraction comes from cotton, just where does a "blood fraction come from" and once again, what scripture now says it's OK, the Borg wrote the book on hypocrisy !!
he's constantly traveling and putting on night club/casino/etc.
shows.
don't know how he finds time for meetings, service and study.. .
This guy is one of those phony witnesses like Serena and especially the model Coco Rochoa (sp) comes to mind, she's always mentioned being at several clubs partying with the young celebs yet still maintains she's a Dub, I think what they really mean is there mom studied with someone, probably got baptized, but doesn't attend the meetings regularly but will call the JWs her family religion
some say mark zuckerberg is the most powerful person in the world.
some maintain the president of the united states is the most powerful or other political leaders.
who do you think is number one on the planet?
me
this week i saw a cart in the subway station, but in front of the rags they had a tablet showing a video.
the video was of a guy doing sign language and i bet my bottom dollar it's the same guy that did the ever popular "don't yank the wank" video.
when i first noticed it i actually thought they were showing that video, but that guy is so over the top with his signing, but i didn't see him signing the actual wank part from the other video.
stillin - I've seen that clip a few times before, but never with 50 Cent playing in the background, that was best ! This guys hand movements fit perfectly with the music!
