could anything have been more embarrassing?
you could be at the door of the least popular munger in school, but overwhelmed with envy because, hey, at least he was doing something normal.
in 8th grade, at the peak of childhood self-consciousness, i knocked on the door of a super popular, rich, "in" kid from my class and he answered the door.
Tired, that is one of the worst yet most hilarious field circus stories I have heard. Please don't think I am laughing at your pain, but... :-D
I was pretty damn lucky if I do say so myself because there was only one occasion I remember a classmate answering the door. We had been in classes together for like the past 5 years but of course we had never spoken, she smiled and was very nice, took the magazines, I think she felt sorry for me. Can't blame her.
as you all know i was raised in a very prominent witness family in california .
dad was , and still is an elder since 1953 !
in my youth in the 1970's i did my share of sneaking around / yes, although being an elders son!
Ha, youse guys were such pagans!
I was one of the "good" ones who would not have hung out with you.
I am thinking hard but I can't remember sneaking around for anything. I don't think I ever did.
so there's this lady on my myspace friends, she's a singer, etc.
and i liked her music.
and she's always posting bulletins, usually cool stuff, poems, etc., although leaning towards hippy dippy.
I like the T-shirt that says "For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat three."
this is clearly a training exercisetraining us to not invoke our rights and just be sheep.

AGuest: I understand presevervation of 2nd and 4th Amendment rights are important. I think preserving lives is more important, however, and if you lived in Oakland, you might agree....
Anyway, again, I understand the threat to 2nd and 4th Amendment rights. But if you lived in Oakland, you might think the safety of citizens might outweight those rights, right now.
It is truly baffling to me that people can say "I know your rights are important, BUT, HOWEVER....."
Huh? What's more important than freedom? Isn't freedom supposedly worth dying for? "Give me liberty or give me death"? Or, for those whose historical awareness comes entirely from Hollywood, Mel Gibson's Braveheart: "Freeeeedoooommmm!!!"
When we get to the point where we're saying, "We'll give up our rights to solve this one particular problem," we're now taking those rights for granted.
And tomorrow, when someone else wants to take away another one of our rights to solve some other problem, well, now there's precedent, isn't there?
Maybe we should just join the Watchtower again. After all, if we just follow their rules, we'll never overdose on drugs, never contract an STD, never lose all our money in Vegas, never join a gang. Of course, we'll have to give up some freedoms, like freedom of speech, the freedom to pursue a profitable career, the freedom to obtain secular education, and the freedom to use our lives according to our own will. But hey, our safety from those bad things "outweighs our rights," doesn't it?

If it is contrary to the religion of these elders to testify, why did they not refuse even after they were ordered by the secular authorities to do so?
If they actually believed they were required by God to maintain the confidentiality of their flock, they should have gone to prison rather than give in to man's unrighteous decisions. Witnesses have been more than willing in the past to face all sorts of horrible consequences for disobeying secular authorities, including death.
Yet, a judge orders them to testify in violation of their religious beliefs, and they simply comply, selling out a brother who had spoken to them in confidence?
i'm thinking mid 20's to mid 30's..........although i had a hell of a 15.......................oompa
5-12... then the crappiness started. But I haven't been out of the borg very long yet, this year is looking up, and I've still got my health and my youth, and college to look forward to, so it's likely the best is yet future.
after laylas' : do you think looks are important thread, thought this would be a good follow up.. personally i'm just a regular girl, nothing exception, got good teeth, i do love my hair and don't think i'm ugly, but know that i'm no stunner either .
so come on be honest - how do you rate yourselves..
I have never been told so by anyone other than immediate family, but I assume they wouldn't lie to me, so YES, I am hot stuff. But I can't be identified so I'd have to just post a pic of my knee or something. And that's not really my best angle.
remember the publications we've seen or seen scans of it, where the wts argues against organ transplants, because when you receive a organ from a sinner you receive also parts of his personality?.

This either proves that the heart had magical powers, or proves that any man would rather die than live with her as a wife.
Let's put it this way... would you like to be husband #3? I thought not.
1877 barbour/russell lecture tract!.
cheers!
atlantis!-
I especially like the close:
"The above subjects illustrated by means of large painted charts."
Awesome. Awesome to the max.
I do hope the charts are gaily colored! 'Twould be ever so whimsical!
ok so if moses wrote the first 5 books of the bible how did he write in the last book on the last page the whole description of his death?
DoomVoyager: It's simple, dummy. He was just writing down what Jehober said!
That part of the dictation must have been a real awkward moment.
We can only imagine... imagine..... imagine........
Jehovah: "And then Moses the servant of God died at the order of Jehovah--"
Moses: Sorry? Come again?
Jehovah: Um, yeah. I didn't really know how to break it to you... I hope we're still cool.
Moses: Oh, sure, real fxxking cool!
