Well, I think I'll stop smoking on a regular basis based on financial concerns. I don't like cigarettes as I don't like to inhale. Cigars are much stronger and make a good effect when you don't inhale. But I don't like cheep cigars either. I got hooked up when my wife came back from cuba with a few of those. So, I'm specifically hooked up on cuban cigars, which are expensive. Like, a "small car payment" expensive. I think its about time I stop and put some monney aside. Besides, it will be better for my health anyways.

Google Street view: Will I get disfellowshipped?
by StephaneLaliberte inyesterday, while having a smoke outside my house, i saw the google street view car drive by.
so here i am, wondering when this picture will make it to the web and when a jw sees it.
even if they blur the face, i bet it will be really easy to make out who's smokin' outside.

SL how do you not know that one of the elders in your hall knows that you post here
I use an pseudonym and purposefully try to be vague enough. But if I was too paranoid, I wouldn't write on this board at all!

"the stink of cigars was so too overwhelming"
That's why I don't smoke inside and was enjoying the spring when that google car drove right by me.

Rocketman123: I smoke cigars and don't inhale. Sure, its not good, but statistically speaking, it isn't as bad as you'd think. I actually took the time to research this before I started

1969 "fact": You will never grow old in this present system of things
by Ding inawake!
"if you are a young person, you also need to face the fact that you will never grow old in this present system of things.
because all the evidence in fulfillment of bible prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years... therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers.

I think this is one of their worst false prophecies.

According to JWs, ALL of 'em! The Christians, Hindus, Shintoist, Buddhists, Muslims, atheists, EVERY ONE! Heck, even the "spiritually weak" JWs!!
The only ones that will survive are a few million faithful JWs.
Following that logic, you're more likely to die in a traffic accident in the next 10 years than to survive Armageddon!

Double Speak from last night's CLAM
by eyeslice innow that there are no meetings to physically attend, i am in a position where i listen in to my wife's zoom calls.
i thought some of the ideas in last week's clam were a bit strange, for instance they harped on about being 'friendly' to non-jws but not to become 'friends' with them.
the poignant question being put to the audience; 'what is the difference between being friendly to an unbeliever and being his friend?'.

They are nice with you with the constant and never ending hope that you will convert to their beliefs. But nice is just nice. They're never be your friend.

The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost inso, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

May JW Broaadcast - so bad, "it's not even wrong"
by FFGhost indon't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.

When I was a kid, around 18 years old, I started realizing that the king of the north prophesy didn't flow well. Why was it one king after another within fairly little time and than, for Rome/Britain/USA, it was 2,000 years, completely ignoring that the Romans were not the "prime" rulers since the 500s?
Than, when I was in my early 20s, realised that the prophesy was in fact written after the first few kings and the remainder of the text was simply a false prophesy.
However, for JWs and other fundamentalists out there, this cannot be. It is the word of God and thus, MUST be true. So, rather than facing the obvious and logical explanation, they twist the scriptures to fit their narrative.
