  "I'm concerned that people are still in that type of mindset."

  The mindset that he gave a great compliment to the restaurant and owners??? Totally comments taken out of context. The guy's in an extreme interrogative spotlight every minute he breaths, he wouldn't bring the negative attention on himself like that.

  hello folks!

  of course the title on this thread may have caught your attention from the riots in la in the 90's when rodney king made the statement.

  i think it's a great statement, simple, but oh so true.

  I was getting tired of seeing the trash mouths sound off, the over-sexed topics or posts, the political back and forth slamming...it's a downer, and I stopped checking in on a regular basis. Now I come and hang maybe 1 time a week it seems like. Same old stuff still. And what's with all the cleavage and boob shots?? It's like being in a bar, and someones only got physical attributes to try and make a name for themselves through the crowd. Whether it's a photo of yourself or not, what's the need?

  "If you wear Perfume, you might as well be disobeying Jehovah"

  by NotaNess in

  i know this topic has been touched over, but when i heard a cooky witness saying to another witness..."the faithful & discreet slave tells us to quit wearing perfume and cologne to kh meetings, and that's what we're supposed to do, if they tell us.

  we're to obey the fds, and if we wear the perfume we might as well be disobeying jehovah".

  i immediately thought of the conversations on this forum about silly attitudes(the overall issue of obeying the fds on something non-scriptural).

I immediately thought of the conversations on this forum about silly attitudes(the overall issue of obeying the FDS on something non-scriptural). She then told the lady she was talking to, "I can smell your perfume all the way from over here". She then ended..."Why would people want to disobey the FDS?"

  Pure Control.

  At the most...any talks or published writings on it should limit it to "please don't wear too much, so it doesn't bother sensitive ones". I could accept that.

  These types of things plus hearing JW's use terms like "Jew me Down" or "He's like a Jew with his money", makes me think they should change their logo to a swastika. The WT control is like Hitlers, without the war & killing.

  JWs preaching at college

  by truman in

  today, while i was making my way across my college campus between classes, i encountered a surprising sight.

  there in the quad was a table with literature spread out on it, and two jws sitting beside a sign proclaiming "free bible course".

  how interesting, in light of all the recent denouncing of higher education, that they should be right there in the middle of academia.

  A good issue to bring up to witnesses.

  Ask if it's true that the entire inhabited earth is controlled by Satan. When they reply yes, ask them if they are part of this entire inhabited earth. obviously they can't deny it, so they have to admit they too, are under that control......

  so about a month ago, i finally "confessed" to my jw friend that my husband and i haven't been to a meeting since february.

  we're in different halls, so she wasn't aware of our inactivity.

  when i told her, i didn't explain any details about what lead us to stop going, other than the normal "we're confused- so much going on, new baby, etc" stuff.

  I would send a continous stream of postal mail on everything you've discovered about the problems of the organization and doctrine, to their homes. Make sure a lot of it is only info from the watchtower material so they don't throw all of it away all the time. Keep reminding them that they are in a false organization being lead by only male leaders & tyrrants NY.

  You've lost them anyway, now try and free them.

  I wish there was a god that would listen.

  Was there a worldwide notice saying it's finally been proven there is no God? I must have missed that.

  a few weeks ago we were out of town and i spotted this man sitting on a bench watching some outdoor performance as we were.

  he looks familiar, like some heavy gangster boss in older movies.

  does he look familiar to you?

  Jaguarbass is spot on. The only difference in the 2 photos is the age.

  Rev 20:10

  And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
