  by Marvin Shilmer in

  2. friends

  take a look at the linked ap photograph and tell me what you think:.

  - miss black u.s., miss black georgia and miss black teen .

  what would the likes of al sharpton say if the hallowed event this weekend at the edmund pettus bridge in selma, alabama had been attended by a miss white u.s., miss white georgia and miss white teen?

  Sounds like you're fishing for another one of those threads about race that goes on for 20 plus pages.

  The "preaching work" is just laughable!

  by cookiemaster in

  the "preaching work" they're so eager to brag about is just laughable.

  they say their number is an indication of god's blessing.

  oh, please, give me a break!

  One of the most laughable (and pathetic) things about the preaching work is the ones that stand in the subway station like a statue holding up the magazines. Yet I'm sure they're so glad to get their time in !

  Thanks for that, I'm adding it to my arsenal of other quotes folks have posted here about the end of this system of things, I can hardly wait till I have the time to show this to some of the folks with the setup in the subway stations.

  Is there anything about the JW's you still like?

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some jw's on various postingshave asked me was there anything about the jw's i still agree with.

  of course there are some things i agree with and some i partially do.

  1. political involvement - while i do not agree with totally avoiding anything associated with politics, i agree that many of todays churches are way too involved in trying to sway their constituents beliefs.

  40,000 when folks, especially young folks are leaving, which means when they go they have no kids raise up in the cult and carry on the BS?

  Somebody said that from the stage, or just some nosy pioneer elder wife trying to  impress the others?

  Field Service for sure

  Assemblies = boring, but when I was a kid it was all about the food (real food not spiritual)  they used to serve for me.

  Pope thinks hitting children is "Beautiful"

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  one time, i heard a father in a meeting with married couples say `i sometimes have to smack my children a bit, but never in the face so as to not humiliate them.how beautiful!

  he knows the sense of dignity!

  he has to punish them but does it justly and moves on.

  Once again, nothing wrong with spanking if it's done properly, that's my opinion, and of course you stand by your opinion.

  how many people saw the saved by the bell reunion on the tonight show?

  i completely forgot lark voorhies is a jw.

  do you think being a jw was the real reason she didn't join the reunion?.

  I had to laugh when I read that she wasn't there because of an intense work schedule.  I think it's because she has mental issues and wasn't up to par for the reunion.
