I peg that meter a bit if I don't get mindful and loosen up. Eventually I do. It's a cycle.

"Observing" The Lord's Supper
by Perry inthe wt plays lots of word games.
one of my favorites is their tracts that talk about "observing" the "lord's evening meal".
of course they cannot call it the lord's supper like the rest of western civilization.

JW's do indeed OBSERVE the Lord's supper. They watch intently, somberly, even curiously as the customary components of that holiday is passed to them. Then, without participating, they then observe the emblems being passed away from them and rejected by other observers.
Actually, except for a few lucky one with a mentally disturbed* anointed in the congregation, most of them don't observe any supper or meal being consumed. The whole concept is a fraud, like standing on the edge of a pool in which no one gets in, and claiming you observed a baptism. There has to be someone deep in the bowels of bethel who makes these doctrines up and laugh at how they get millions of people to go along with it.

In most legal systems, for something to be considered a crime, there must be a victim. No one is victimized by using that descriptive phrase.

She's a racist who literally blamed her employment situation on black people. I don't really miss her.
And yet you saw a thread with her name, you clicked on it and then commented with some BS slander. Interesting. Perhaps a proctologist can help you with that.

CO over for dinner Tuesday thru Friday
by A question inhas anyone had a co over for dinner during their visit on any of the nights from tuesday thru friday?
that seems hard to do because those nights usually have meetings.
if you did do it, how long were they able to stay after finishing eating?.

Typically he & his wife ate dinner with us, then he disappeared to his bedroom to do "theocratic work" while the wife stayed around & chatted.
Doing "theocratic work" in the bedroom without his wife, doesn't that seem a bit brazen?

lol - I may steal and use that one day Kurt
Just glad to be able to make things worth stealing.
Nah, let's go with 'God did a magic thing'.
Sure, but don't try telling that to JWs, as magic makes Jehovah sad.

I have been thinking about Jack and his beanstalk.
1. The mass of the beanstalk would have to come from nutrients drawn from the ground. How could such a massive beanstalk grow in one place without depleting nutrients from the soil and making a crater, or otherwise altering the topography where it grew.
2. How is it that in the duration of one night a giant took residence at the top of the beanstalk? When you consider the logistics of hauling building materials aloft, crews of construction workers, and support material such as food and water, how was this possible in such a small span of time without being noticed by anyone?
3. Isn't it likely that the beanstalk story was merely a dream, or even that the beans were toxic and had hallucinogenic properties that caused Jack to imagine the events after acquiring the beans?
4. Could it be that Jack's beans actually were mutated and the beanstalk grew unusually large? Perhaps a large bird of prey nested in it and that the current version of the story was the result of later people who embellished the original account?
