Threadthief here! OMG LLOYD! You did not just equate thieves and pedophiles with gays did you?????
Openly ordaining gays and lesbians is a strange bedfellow. What about pedophiles? Do you openly ordain them too? How about people that think it's ok to steal?
from good seinfeld post to dead....oompa
democrats can do no wrong.
republicans know the only right decisions.
democrats are more intelligent.
I for one do not buy it. This is the worst political season EVER!!! Why did it start so crapping early!!! And the war!!!! Back and forth. No it probably does not really matter in the long run who is at the top.
sick of it all....oompa

Wow, what a change, welome Father. Or Fascher, as they say in Goldmember (you will get to know me). I like the differences between your Old Church and the Roman one. You might can help me with this one:
The desire to serve god eventually overwhealmed me
Never really felt that, but appreciate creation. Can't really figure out what serving or worshiping God is, or why he would want it.
Thanks, and welcome aboard....oompa....
i am too tired to find mine right now, but it involves men laying in wait to attack and rape sisters going to dance at a circuit assembly.
i think the purpose was to find even more wives for the tribe of benjamin.
great plan god.. ot stuff always weirded me out more than nt stuff, until i found out we have a totally fraudulant nt version, compete with the name jehovah spuriously inserted 237 times, along with many other spurious verses.
Started a thread and was too tired to get the scripture in. Here it is. Can you imagine taking your daughter to a regular circuit assembly (she was going to serve God!) only to have her 1. kidnapped, 2. violated/raped, 3. forced to marry her captor and bear his children. Interesting that they knew their internal knowledge of planned "festivals of Jehovah" to commit this crime.
it is early...1st cup of coffee....think I'm gonna puke......oompa
( Judges 21:19-23) 19 Finally they said: "Look! There is a festival of Jehovah from year to year in Shi´loh, which is to the north of Beth´el, toward the east of the highway that goes up from Beth´el to She´chem and toward the south of Le·bo´nah." 20 So they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying: "Go, and YOU must lie in wait in the vineyards. 21 And YOU must look, and, there now, when the daughters of Shi´loh come on out to dance in circle dances, YOU must also come out from the vineyards and carry off for yourselves by force each one his wife from the daughters of Shi´loh, and YOU must go to the land of Benjamin.22 And it must occur that should their fathers or their brothers come to conduct a legal case against us, we also shall certainly say to them, ‘Do us a favor for their sakes, because we have not taken for each one his wife by war, for it was not YOU that did the giving to them at a time when YOU would become guilty.’" 23 Accordingly the sons of Benjamin did just that way, and they proceeded to carry off wives for their number from the women dancing around, whom they snatched away; after which they went off and returned to their inheritance and built the cities and took up dwelling in them.
i know this topic has been touched over, but when i heard a cooky witness saying to another witness..."the faithful & discreet slave tells us to quit wearing perfume and cologne to kh meetings, and that's what we're supposed to do, if they tell us.
we're to obey the fds, and if we wear the perfume we might as well be disobeying jehovah".
i immediately thought of the conversations on this forum about silly attitudes(the overall issue of obeying the fds on something non-scriptural).
This horrible sister that was a total hypochondriac started going off on perfume, sitting in the library, going is service with family only. She was full of BS! I would spray or flick cologne on her and just watch the fun, she would accusing everyone around her and it was on her backside lol. I also sprayed the windshield vent on their car for a nice boquet. This witch changed halls, and drove them crazy as well.
aahhh the power of poco rabon....oompa

Horrible life--if your town is near any military or government sensitive area it will be intentionly blurred in the closer modes. I see that a lot when looking for water front properties on the east coast. If the propery is even near a coast guard dock it will all be blurred.
like to see clearly....oompa
my favorite all time episode is the tennis/j peterman incident where kramer is walking across the tennis court and a racquet goes flying and hits a machine and kramer gets pelleted with tennis balls.
another really good one is when newman smells kramer basting on the roof and starts seeing him as food.. .
If there is a God in heaven, PLEASE let them get back together. Most of my favs were covered, but I also love the one George and Jerry are trying to get their pilot on, are at the apt. of the head of NBC and George is caught looking down his young daughters cleavage.
