  The Kingdumb Melody is not an American Idol audition

  by DoomVoyager in

  keeping a straight face during the song is hard enough given the wacky lyrical content; the last thing i need is the "new sister" standing right behind me and loudly delivering a breathy, lispy, over-dramatic rendition of "stay asleep stand firm grow culty".

  simon cowell is not listening in.

  or how about that one guy every hall has who bawls the songs out, painfully out of tune, way louder than anyone else.

  Are you saying that you want other singers to be as dull, boring, and uninspired as you apparently are?

  If You Were "In" A Religion, Which One would You Want To Be A Member Of?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  personally, i'm not into any religion but i think that most protestants are ok. catholicism isn't my thing at all.

  judaism, i've always been interested in.

  Flip Wilson's "Church of What's Happening Now" might be a good choice.

  Recent Literature Letter Sent out -Bound Volumes

  by stillajwexelder in

  2. beliefs

  briefly it stated that all those who make extensive use of the cd-rom should seriously consider whether or not they need bound volumes.

  these have to be next on the hit list of things cut imho

  As soon as JW's get rid of paper literature and go to electronic media Satan will cause a power failure just so they can't get their spiritual food.

  Keep the bound volumes!

  It's good to keep two thick phone books on hand. They're just the right height to use as a booster seat for a toddler.

  When there are no phone books on hand I have to use the Aid to Bible Understanding or Volumes 1 and 2 of Insight On The Scriptures.

  Whats the Craziest thing you've heard a JW blame Satan for????

  by superman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as most of you know, that evil spirit creature known as satan the devil is of course after jw's and only jw's.

  i can remember this middle aged lady at my old hall give a comment on how "satan works in the most mysterious ways against jehovah's people, he even has the teachers give out more homework on meetings nights so that he can make it more difficult for the young ones to attend the meetings".

  at that time i was hardcore in it, and even thought this lady is a "looney-tune".

  The fire in the woodstove went out during the night only on Saturdays so that the house would be too chilled to want to get ready for Sunday meeting.

  can anyone point me in the directions where i would stats on how many deaths have occurred at kingdom halls?

  Borrowing from the stats as presented:

  Don't go out in the door to door work because 14% of all accidents involve pedestrians.

  Don't conduct return visits or Bible studies because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.

  Don't drive/ride to the Kingdom Hall because automobiles are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.

  Let's see....14% + 17% + 20%....that's 51%.

  I'm safer being an xJW!

  Milk and Meat are poisoning people and destroying our health!

  i have read a dozen different health books that come to this same conclusion.

  what is milk?

  mammal infants require milk from their own species to grow quickly and start solid food.

  10/15/08 WT - (Finally) seeing the light on out of context quotes?

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in the 10/15/08 wt, page 16, there is a very small filler article on a 15th century german cardinal who used the name "jehovah" (or its equivalent in 15th century german, at least) in a sermon he wrote.

  sorry, no scanner.. anyway, part of that sermon he wrote, in which he references the name "jehovah", is quoted.

  but wait a minute, what's this?

  Before the 'net as most people know it today there were BBS. Lots of JW's, mostly males, were online back then.

  Who was your childhood hero or she-roe?

  by zagor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ok boys and girls something light tonight.

  ive been talking to someone the other day who is studying psychology and she tells me you can tell a lot about a person based on who their childhood hero was.

  im not sure if i subscribe to the idea at all, kind of reminds me of horoscope or tarot archetypes but on the other hand, ive been thinking tonight, she might be onto something there at least partly.
