Hey, almostathiest,

If you don't think you'll barf up 10 teaspoons of sugar, try it and let us all know the results.

Just thinking about it makes me want to gag. But then I don't drink pop.

"Peddlers of Paradise" Nov. 1940 American magazine article

by cabasilas in

i just got this in from ebay.

this is the complete article "peddlers of paradise" as it appeared in the november 1940 american magazine.

(a condensed version the article appeared in a 1941 readers digest.

sacrebleu

The article reminds me of Jim Jones and his followers.

So tired, so overworked and downtrodden, but still believing. So sad.

My mom was lured by the "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" campaign. That's what got her to start listening to her brothers and sisters-in-law. She died December 1, 2004. That religion split my family and hers also. Her stupid brother preached a funeral and used the Scripture, "let the dead bury the dead" that caused strife and hatred in her family for years.

Such a wicked, wicked waste. And what's really sad is that IF a JW read that today, all they would notice is the way the poor people were so "persecuted."

Thanks for the great post.

What will be the reaction in the congregation when...

by JH in

jw
friends

we have many older brothers and sisters in our congregation, and surely the same in many congregations all around the world.. what will be the reaction in the congregations when all these older ones, who were sure they wouldn't die before the end, pass away and leave a vacuum in the congregation.. i don't wish these older brothers and sisters harm, but eventually they will be too old to follow and they will die away.. it won't be the same anymore, when they see these old pillars who stood so faithfully crumble due to old age.. .

sacrebleu

Tula,

While your thoughts are interesting, that was under the Old Covenant. We are under the New Covenant now. Jesus paid for our sins so our ancestors won't have to and we won't either if we will believe.

The right name for the people is "Rom"

The name for ANYONE who tries to "gyp" could be gypsy.

Just as there are two (or more) names for most other ethnic groups, the one being derogatory, the other being correct. I will refrain from using examples because I don't want to offend. Hopefully the brighter ones in the bunch will understand what I mean.

Just like any other group, some Rom are honest, some are not.

Be fair. Maybe YOU don't know an honest hard working Rom, that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Yes, I am an X-JW, I am a Christian against abortion and NOW I will also be hated on here because I am half Rom. Wild. Go figure. I thought this group was more loving and intelligent than when we were judgemental, better than thou JWs.

What Movie Could You Watch Over and Over Again?

by Abandoned in

for me, there are a number of movies that i never tire of.

here's a partial list:.

elfthe holidaytommy boyplanes trains and automobilesdumb and dumber28 dayswhat are yours?.

sacrebleu

I always ask people if they could only watch one movie for the rest of their lives what would it be?

Very few people can answer. Mine would be Moonstruck. It is SO TRUE!! The mama's boy, the bad boy, the mother

"Do ya love him Loretta?" "No, but he's a nice man." "Good! Cuz when ya love 'em, they drive you crazy cuz they know they can."

Then later in the movie, "Do ya love him Loretta?" "Oh ma, I love him awful!" "Oh that's too bad."

So true. So true. But I also love and had totally forgotten the OLD movie Cat People! Another major favorite is Fiddler on the Roof and another is American Graffiti.

Guess who came to our house on Christmas Day...

by exwitless in

if you guessed dubs, you're right.

it was around 11:30 a.m., just as i was lazily dozing off on the couch, exhausted because my 9 year old woke me up at 5:30 a.m. (he couldn't wait any longer to look through his stocking!).

i was rudely awakened to the sound of a car door slam in our driveway.

sacrebleu

I never went out on Holidays that I remember. I can't remember anyone else doing it either but they probably did.

My mom raised me that Holidays were family time and I wasn't usually allowed to even go see my friends! (That was before we were JWs but even after that my mom's training stayed with me.

Bad religion is no excuse for bad manners.

subject: fiery sermon.

SOME Christians DO send junk like this drivel... sappy, soap opera stuff.

I am a Christian and I HATE it.

I had one friend who wouldn't quit filling my in-box with krap and I finally

changed my email and wouldn't give her the new one.
