this thread is for you to vent about anything (within guidelines) that you want.. i'll start.. i'm sick of people who complain about how cold the weather is and then you have two 85 degree days and now they can't wait till autumn!.
Why does the expiration date for my milk always fall on a Tuesday? I like to go grocery shopping on the weekend, but I can't wait if I want fresh milk in the morning.
And why do people insist on wearing socks with flip flops? Don't they know how silly it looks?
And why do other people insist on being on the road while I'm on my commute home?
based upon descriptions in the bible and what is known scientifically so far, what would god actually be?
lightning comes out of the throne.
no man may see and live.
Fiction
these days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.
often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?
- i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.
A speaker giving the public talk said that the word, "fellow" came from the root word for Nephilim which means "to cause to fall". He says the Nephilim caused others to fall, and so they were called "fellers" and so we get the word "fellow".
That's funny, because there was a really strange brother in our circuit who would take offense to being called "fella", and it was for just that reason. He would reply, in all seriousness: "I am not a Nephilim, and do not wish to be referred to as such".

life is beautiful.. aaahhhh!
i'm so excited!.
if england win the final--i'll start attending the meetings again.
And if the US wins, I'll attend meetings and start pioneering.
does the biblical account prove the scientific theory of how the universe came into existence.
Because SCO/thegobbleygook11 has so much foolishness to spout one account cannot contain it all...
Or he's been having so much fun fucking with us that one account cannot contain all of his enjoyment. This question can't possibly be for real.

He redefined the word "Idiot"..
He didn't redefine it, he just helped everyone gain a deeper understanding of the word.
did you loath them?
did you feel it was a "privilege" to have the elders care deeply about your spiritual well being?
if you were an elder or ministerial servant, did you enjoy going to the homes of the sheep?.
My biggest problem with them was always the timing. They always seem to be prompted by some special occasion, such as the Memorial, or the CO's visit. It made me feel like it was less about my well-being, and more about making their numbers look good.

is there no end to the needs of the living corpse?.
None. It just comes so naturally for some of us.

The biggest redefinition they've managed to pull off in the minds of the loyal:
Truth
Beat me to the punch. Especially when their 'truth' is in constant need of correction.
if we have faith in science and scientific claims about the universe, origins of life etc.
is that absolute truth.
if so then if they declare that god exists with evidence then do all those who believe in science then believe in god or a creator.

Um, where else would I wear my nipple ring?
