you've probably all seen them; those church message boards in some prominent place along the road so passing drivers can read them.

most are simply informational, like "sunday services at 12pm" or the like.

some use little witticisms to gain attention, and these are the ones i'd like to talk about.

the Daily-Dedicate-a-Song-to-a-Special-Someone Thread
by Crumpet in
1. jw

rather than hijack another thread and inspired by fullofdoubtnow and dedpoets music for the wedding thread i thought i would start a little "dedications" thread - this isn't the sort of dedication symbolised by dunking though!.

(i expect to see ggbg and ofg here forthwith for some romantic dedications).. i'd like to dedicate the following to someone special - "bodies - by drowning pool" .

they probably wont see this, but the thought that counts!.

Remember the song Make The Truth Your Own?
by pierogi in
1. jw

what is the wtbts exactly saying here because they don't let you make the truth your own?

besides nicknaming the religion "the truth", this is just another example of how the wtbts brainwash jws to think that the truth and the watchtower are the same thing.

i think this might be why jws, before hearing anything negative about the watchtower, already decide that it is false or they defend it.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD IT ALL!!! THIS IS SICK!!!
by Lady Liberty in
1. watchtower
2. bible
my mother called me last night and shared with me something my dad just discovered in doing some research on the internet.

it is out of the book published by the wathchtower in 1966, entitled, "life everlasting in freedom of the sons of god".. my parents have the book, and listen to what was written about adam and bestiality.... page 45, para.

before god created anything new, a woman, god left the man free to determine whether there was a suitable companion for him among all the lower animals.

(unaided by God)Things we can not do!
by Deputy Dog in
1. watchtower
2. bible
in the world today (especially in america) we believe that we can do what ever we want or will to do, but god still rules the universe, and according to his word there are some things that we can not do.

unless god wills!

i thought i might list a few things that (unaided by or apart from god) we can not do.
