Why would anybody visit Bethel? I'd rather visit something interesting, like Gino's Pizza or Papaya King. Yum.

Why do they need to be a corporation?
by bluesapphire insince it is illegal for a corporation to have any social interests (a social corporation is an oxymoron), and since the entire purpose of a corporation is to make money for its shareholders, why do they need to be a coroporation to spread the "good news"?.
do the shareholders amass wealth?
are they allowed to sell their stock?.

Um.... Let's see.... I had a business. Even though I was a Sole Proprietorship, which meant that the company consisted of me, myself and I, (not necessarily in that order) my accountant advised me to incorporate. Why? So, if the business went bankrupt or the business was sued or some other such godawful thing, nobody could touch me personally or sue me, just the business and its assets. Which was me, but that's besides the point. It protects individuals from getting in trouble. Kind of like when an elder abuses a child.... hmmmm..... let's see? Who gets sued? The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, Inc.! The corporation takes it up the proverbial void surrounded by a sphincter muscle, not the elder who snarfled the garthox with the minor. See? It works! The corporation protects the individual from harm! Man, I should be one of those TV lawyers who advertises on daytime TV!

Be honest, Do you really Enjoy Christmas?
by BluesBrother indansk's christmas tree thread got me to thinking .. in this house we do not celebrate since my wife is still a die hard dub.
i have no complaints about that, it was our joint choice for decades and i an the one that changed .but as witnesses we were always given the negative view of the holiday time :-.
"people feel that they just have to do it although they do not really want to".

I like Christmas.... the kind of Christmas they show in old movies. I like my Christmas tree and Christmas music and all that stuff. I love having time to be with family. I don't like how commercial it has become, though. I don't like all of the commercials that flat out tell us guys that we're the lowest of scum unless we spend (or have the money to spend) hundreds or thousands of dollars on jewelry for our female-type-companions for Christmas every year. I don't like how everyone feels pressured to buy stuff that they can't afford, and not just for the kids anymore. They want you to buy tons of crap for everyone you know, everyone you work with and everyone you might have made eye contact with on the grocery store for the last 10 years. That stuff makes me sick. I, for one, don't want anyone to buy me anything for Christmas. I'm much happier with friends and family having a good time together. I buy my daughter whatever I can afford and something for the wife if I can, and that's it. To me, the most important thing on Christmas morning is that my family is there and that there isn't one less family member there than there was last year. Eat some ham, watch It's A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story and watch the kids play with their toys. Yep, that's the greatest thing in the world. Besides sex. Which is also nice to get on Christmas day. Just a tip for the ladies: Sex is free and he'd much rather have that than another stupid tie. Seriously. It's the gift that keeps on giving all year long. Merry Chrismas!

Generally, I refuse to suffer through chick flicks, but once I got suckered into seeing Patch Adams. I thought it would be ok because it had Robin Williams, but it was just a chick flick. Pissed me off.

Caught quite a doozy at the meeting Thursday night...
by B_Deserter inok, get this.... .
according to the man that gave this talk, we don't need to worry about whether it was possible for the jonah story to be true (surviving in the stomach of a sea-going animal for three days without dying), it was true because god said it, and that's what proves it to be true.

Here in the Atlanta area, there are a lot of freakazoid religious nutjobs who drive around with bumperstickers that say "The Bible said it, I believe it, that settles it." How can you reason with somebody like that? Hell, I'm just glad the bible didn't say to shoot fat white guys, 'cuz one of these nuts would be shooting at my ass all the time!

My old landlord chewed tobacco. I always knew when he dropped by the house because I could see where he spit outside. When I first moved to the town I live in, people would even chew tobacco in the local grocery store and spit on the floor. That's REALLY disgusting.

Would YOU Like To Continue Having The Watchtower Summary???
by minimus inas you know, blondie took a hiatus due to illness and she is still not at 100%.
watchtower scans are needed now since they are not easily available.. would anyone be interested in helping here?.
is the watchtower summary, as blondie has developed it, still of interest here??

I like the WT summary because I can keep on top of the latest line of WTBS bullsh@# without having to actually read the magazine. I can only stand a few minutes at a time of WT crap, so the summary works for me.

I would say November has to be pretty bad, even though I like Thanksgiving. Today is the 6 year anniversary of my mom passing away. <sigh> Oh well.

I Come Bearing Gifts! Part 3 of 3
by Shepherd Book inafter my phone conversations with the elder, it seemed only right to attempt to contact our accusers.
since the elder violated the biblical directive and refused to put me in contact with my accusers, i was unable to contact them directly.
i did not know their phone numbers, email addresses, or home addresses.

What an interesting blog entry! I often wondered why anniversaries were allowed but not birthdays. It's stupid. Stupid rules from stupid people in Brooklyn.
