we have been told this week that all in the elder and ms body will be read a letter from the gb about "make this the greatest month of activity ever"..... has anyone else had such a letter read out in their cong / servant body?.

i presume it will be all about "recommending strongly/insisting" that all these men should pioneer for the month?.

What is this latest letter from the GB about?

All cults have to do highly irrational things which, due to their irrationality, no one else does.

That's what makes cults seem special to their idiotic or brainwashed followers, and confirms they are stupid to those who aren't.

That explains what the letter from the GB is about.

A frog farted in a pond. The Writing Staff at Bet-Hell came up with a new wheeze. About the same importance.

Well, no. The frog-fart had more import.

Focus - I never atacked you.

I am certain I have never been "atacked".

If you can't see the difference between criticising what people say - and giving good reasons for those criticisms

But of course I can see such difference.

Indeed, it relates to my modus operandi. I hold those expressing views and taking actions accountable for their decisions.

making vile personal attacks on people's character then you are not very bright.

I always know - I'm quoting AlanF on this; I recently saw it on a thread on this forum - that when someone accuses Phookus (even subject to a conditional) of not being very bright, then not only must they have lost the argument, but furthermore they know they have lost it.

And pssst... the emboldened text is an ad hominem, precisely what you were decrying earlier when it was (most assuredly) committed by said VG.

"You" are just a screen anonym. It is thus technically impossible for VG to libel "you", certainly in any jurisdiction with which I'm reasonably familiar, and that includes the US, UK and much of the Commonwealth and the Western EU.

VG could harass you, but I'm sure a mere theist couldn't manage that.

You shouldn't really be boxing so far above your weight, now, should you?

So, they teach kids to enjoy watching people getting tortured.

Many of these boys will grow to make fine Elders.

Who will torture people, and get off on it.

What's surprising, then?

i'm not sure what is going on at the convention, but i just got a desperate call from a friend wanting me to attend sunday's morning session.

last weekend, my mom invited me too.instead of saying something like, "i'm sorry, but i have no intention of going back," and having them completely freak out - i agreed to go to the sunday morning session.

any recommendations?

Can you smuggle an illegal (not just "banned") object inside?

Clearly, from the border style, the braindead are running Micro$hit VISTA.

That progress bar is going to stay frozen at 99% for a long while, folks. It's been stuck there since 1873.

there is life outside the organisation, which i have the pleasure to have experienced, since december.

i went to a lovely church wedding saturday, followed by a reception.

hic!!.

LisaRose:

The suggestion of going to church is a good one. There are many good churches out there. I enjoyed going to the UCC, United Church of Christ... I seriously considered joining, except I am an Athiest, they were OK with it, but it just seemed pointless.

lol. In summary, long-committed atheist considers joining church but finally realises it is pointless.

So, what is it that you are smokin', Sis?

If I went to church it would be because of all that blood on offer. Jeebus blood, sheep blood, and so on.

Thanks, blondie. Suitably informative.

Rape (reported rape, at least) is relatively rare in India.

The Deepak Chopra Random Quote Generator

this computer program generates random quotes that sound just like actual chopra woo woo.... what gem do you get to guide you through life today?.

i got .... "death fascinates the progressive expansion of excellence"something to think about!.
Focus

cofty, thank you for the link. Quite entertaining.

Some modifications (mainly at the data level) and one could generate "Awake!" quite readily, making about as much sense as it now does.

Now to get "The Watchtower", a more powerful technique is required. But not un-doable. Perhaps they are now doing it already. The WTS's billions gotta go somewhere.

speaking of dwight moody and his associates, pastor russell wrote:.

it is our thought that the lord used these men, and through their ministry the fore-ordained number was completed at the fore-ordained time, 1881. .

why 1881?.
Focus

You could say whatever you like – who could prove or disprove it?

Duh.

Yo there, Bro' SAHS. All religions are based on this same scam.

Here on JWN, we give particular focus to one of the very worst of all religions, the WTS scam, which does evil on a monumental scale due to its other policies.. But in essence it has the same scam as all the other biggies.

Now, SAHS give me all you possess, pronto and I'll give it back to you a million-fold on the other side of the veil.

Deal?
