  Ever notice how JW's can attend a talk or Convention and remember nothing?

  by Wasanelder Once in

  how many times have you asked a jw who has attended a public talk how the talk was, only to be told it was so great!

  yet they cannot remember the title nor any one single point except that the brother was "funny" or was good with illustratiions or some other vauge point?

  and conventions weren't far off either.

  There's no reason why they would remember anything. Every talk, or convention, is indistinguishable from all the ones that preceded it. It's the same rehashed, formulaic material. Despite how 'wonderful' they will claim it was, there's really nothing special or memorable about it.

  Religious nuttery alerts

  by Simon in

  it seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.

  it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!

  ) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.

  I've always found these posters far more annoying than the WT apologists. Most of them never had any connection to JWs, they're just looking for lost, vulnerable souls to exploit with their self-indulgent bs. The crux of their argument is "You've been lied to by the JWs, now let me tell you the right way to worship Jesus."

  How Do You Answer Someone Who Says JWs Are Not False Prophets?

  it used to bother me that people would say that about my well meaning religion.

  how do you prove that witnesses are indeed, false prophets?.

  NFL bans Player for using a 'switch' on his son

  nfl commissioner roger goodell placed minnesota viking's player adrian peterson on indefinite suspension for using extreme measures in disciplining his son using a tree branch switch.. sports illustrated covered details about how the process works with the players union, the player, and the nfl.. www.si.com/nfl/2014/11/17/minnesota-vikings-adrian-peterson-suspended.

  i remember vivid scenes in kingdom halls and in the homes of jws who used extreme measures to discipline their children.

  Many parents who did what designs described are now in nursing homes wondering why they aren't being visited by their children.

  Yeah. But then again, they weren't expecting to have to be cared for in their old age. Oops.

  Revelation, its Grand Climax.... remember when?

  i remember being at the assembly in 1988?

  when this was released.

  everyone was so excited that we finally had a simple explanation of revelation with pictures.

  I don't think any publication better exemplified their over-inflated sense of self-importance. Every breath they uttered was some grand fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Looking back, I can't believe I never once thought to myself "WTF!" during the multiple times we studied it.

  Michael Brown verdict discussion policy

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  it's likely that the grand jury verdict on the michael brown incident will be released in the coming days or weeks.. i've no doubt many people are going to feel strongly about things whatever the verdict is.. whatever the outcome though, here's what's not going to happen:.

  we're not going to put up with inflamatory language and comments designed to rile others up.

  be respectful.. we will not allow accusations of racism simply because some have a view of the verdict that contradicts others.. there will not be invented evidence or claims being repeated - if it's been falsely reported or debunked then it's off limits.. it's not going to be an opportunity for people to air past gripes over past discussions.. if you feel that you cannot discuss the subject in a rational way then it may be better to simply avoid any topics on the matter.. please try to be objective and respectful if you do decide to comment and not keen to take offense.

  I can't remember if the suport / opposition was divided over racial lines back then?

  It was a textbook example of a racially divisive case.

  I have my doubts that discussion of the Michael Brown verdict, whatever it is, will play out as you are hoping, because people just can't help themselves. But I'm hoping as you are.

  How about being interviewed by Howard Stern?

  That would be a good follow up to porn star mud wrestling.

  Ghostly presence? It's all in your mind

  by rebecca morellescience correspondent, bbc news.

  the researchers created an experiment that made some participants feel a ghost was present in the room.

  feelings of a ghostly presence - the sense that someone is close-by when no-one is there - lie in the mind, a study has concluded.. scientists say that they have identified the parts of the brain that are responsible for generating these spooky sensations.. they have also created an experiment that makes some people feel like there is a ghost nearby.. the research is published in the journal current biology.. there are many tales of the paranormal, but an often-reported phenomenon is that of the invisible apparition.. dr giulio rognini, from the swiss federal institute of technology (epfl), says: "the sensation is very vivid.

  So you're telling me everything they've discovered on "Ghost Hunters" is bogus? I'm speechless.

  I HATE vets

  by Xanthippe in

  took one of my cats to the vet two weeks ago, she gets dermatitis from flea bites and although she gats flea treatment every four weeks the skin problem flares up about every two years.

  so i asked for her usual steroid tablets which clear it up in about a week but no this young vet about 25 thought she should have a steroid injection and an antibiotic.

  didn't work and she's much worse.. went back today and another vet said can't give you the tablets because the injection is still in her system and lasts 6 weeks.

  I think there are good and bad, as with every field. I don't think 2 is enough of a sample pool to declare them all bad.
