back in october 1983, there was a craptower study article that effectively banned disco, rock, and funk music.
it also spelled the end of those rollerskating parties that the congregations used to organize.
now, i can see their reasoning behind the rock (backmasking satanic messages) and funk (dirty), even though it is very specious.. however, the "evil disco" strikes me as weird.
I am going to a community festval on the 4th of July.
Theme is " Stars, Stripes and Disco ".
K .C. and the Sunshine Band and the Village People and then the best fireworks around.
I may even stand for the National Anthem if my OWN conscience allows it.
wow this is more severe than even i would post what goes around comes around...you can't assault millions of victims without repercussions http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&tab=wn&ie=utf-8&q=jehovah+witness on the news wire the people speak: religious group changes bible text.

jehovahs witnesses go to meetings twice a week to train and learn how to manipulate people into questioning their belief and doubting their faith.
Danny - I don't think I've ever been so turned on. What PASSION !
does anyone know where i can get the drawing of armagadon with the children fleeing and the xxx theater and city burning at?

Wow-that is unbelievably horrible. What idiots. What is that old picture from?
hello guys, mr. flipper here.
here's the deal, i'll try to be brief, hard for me.
mrs. flipper and i got married last october, but before that one month before,my 18 year old daughter, her mom, my ex from 1998 and her husband came incognito one sat.
I completely agree with Outlaw. I would try to hold them off until after parents visit though.
I can't believe they don't have enough sin where they are without trying to chase you down.
just say it today for the first time with the kids.
i know i know it came out a while ago but i don't believe in seeing movies when they just come out.
too expensive especially with 4 kids.
I DID get up and dance ! Loved it.
I give it a and .
what purpose does it serve?
it just seems to polarize people and ostracize those who aren't ready or willing to label it a cult.
anyone can look up the dictionary definition of a cult (or experts' definitions).
Like Jim Jones and David Koresh without the mass suicides, they still earn the label, CULT.
Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't.
The mass suicide I mean.
I asked my husband what he would do if they announced in the kool-aid edition or at a meeting
that the end was coming and everyone had to go to New York or Texas or whereever. He said he would go.
I said " Please don't drink the kool-aid ."
The fact is they are already drinking that poisonous kool-aid every time they read a new magazine.
Next January it will be more poisonous than ever before.
last night as i was doing my customary tossing and turning till 4 in the morning i got to thinking about the account of moses and the water from the rock.
now, we may or not believe in the literal take on that anymore - but the wt surely does.
if god got that angry about one incident of a human setting himself up as the one who accomplished something done with god's power, that he would deny moses, a longtime servant, entry into the promised land.... how must he feel about the org?
Exactly the point I have made to my husband and my best friend. Moses was frustrated and at the end of his rope.
Yet Jehovah still held him accountable and he was not allowed to go into the promised land.
In the Watchtower from April 1,2007 (notably April Fool's Day) I read the study article beginning on page 21
entitled "Loyal to Christ and His Faithful Slave."
By the time I got to par 16 I was already sick.
Then all of those previous misgivings came flooding in and I got my own new light.
" The other sheep recognize that they have been greatly benefited from the diligent efforts of the faithful slave in supplying them with timely spiritual food.They humbly acknowledge that were it not for the faithful and discreet slave they would know little or nothing of precious Bible truths such as Jehovah's sovereignty ...Out of sheer gratitude and loyalty, the other sheep lovingly support Christ's annointed 'brothers' on the earth during this time of the end.-Matthew 25:40"
I immediately thought of that story of Moses and the scripture that says "even the stones would cry out" if there was no one to preach.
Presumptuous egomaniacs.
I haven't been back to the hall since.
we use so many abbreviations here that i thought a list might help people who are unaware of their meanings (not everyone here is or was a jw).
some are related to internet use and some are specific to jws.
so feel free to add to the list.. jwd = this website = jehovahs-witness-discussion.
bttt - back to the top
lolam -laughing out loud at myself
I thought bttt meant the poster was giving someone the raspberries !
my birthday is coming up in a month.
i'm 35 and i'm so depressed about turning 36. i've heard people really get down when they were turning 25, 30, and other ages but non of my birthday's bothered me this much until now.
turning 36 is so depressing and i think it's because here i am single again trying to now start my career, my credit, my whole life over.
29 - because I would never be in my 20's again. No other birthday has ever bothered me since. My next birthday I'll be 50. It will be the first one I've celebrated since I was 21 so I plan to make a big deal out of being free and fifty.
I've also been practicing Molly Shannon's SNL character Sally O'Malley .

Thanks, very helpful. BORG had me mystified although I could tell what it was by the context I didn't actually know what it meant. I just figured I would wait on Jehovah and eventually see the light.
