I see no reason why I can't drink beer and play golf at the same time.

Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.
by oppostate ina big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.
don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.
however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

Hard to believe that the WT would rewrite history for it's own self-aggrandizing purposes.

It's to fool people into thinking the publications don't still have the same crap inside.

shepherding call
by DesirousOfChange inyou don't say why you are inactive.. if you can control your tongue and not blurt out anything you have learned about ttatt, then perhaps no harm in agreeing to a visit if you feel the need to be polite and cooperative.
no doubt, they will inquire as to why you are inactive.. don't you know it's the truth(tm)?.
don't you know the end(tm) is close?.

i can just agree with everything they say and just continue doing what im doing.. right..?
For a little while, sure. There's only so long you can simply just attend meetings quietly without them strongly "encouraging" you to do more. I know this from personal experience.

Awake 1973 banned Witnesses playing Chess..why?
by Witness 007 inare all articles from jehovahs thoughts or do personal biased views poison the watchtower articles?
imagine a brother who hates chess observing in discust two bethelites playing chess...would it be right to use jehovahs "spiritual food" to push your own warped view....yes!!.
awake 1973 3/22 p.12 chess- "...the spirit of compitition between players can lead to unplesant circumstances...most families can keep comfrontations to the chess board...but for some the tension lingers long past checkmate...chess has been a game of war since its origin...a play substitute for the art of war...there is a danger of "stirring up compitition with one another" even developing hostility towards one another, something the bible warns christians to avoid..what effect does playing chess have apoun one?

I think it has to do with the Phallic imagery. Almost every piece is shaped like a penis.

Too much guilt is laid upon the R & F, making them easier to control, I guess.
That's exactly what's behind the whole idea of 'stumbling'; it's about control. It's how they get you to do something when they have no sciptural backing for it. They guilt you into doing, or not doing, what they want when they can't compel you with scripture. They accomplish this with words like 'stumbling'.

American Rantings About World Cup Soccer (Football)
by RubaDub ini try ... i really try to watch football (soccer) ... it's world cup time ... i really do try.. i just don't get it ... i really don't.. yes, it's a world-wide sport.
in most countries it is the number 1 or number 2 sport ... no doubt about it.
it's maybe number 5 in the usa for professional sports.. from an american's perspective (i think i speak for many), we just wonder if these guys actually have testicles.

It appears too, that hockey players only do sprints, and are relieved every 5 minutes? whereas these Marathon athletes in soccer do half - marathons 10 miles
True. But then, soccer players don't wear pads, and aren't being constantly checked by other players.

admit it, keyser...you liked it
As I said, there was a fair amount of alcohol involved. Let's just leave it at that.
