so far, no one has really bothered me.
i always wonder why.
then i read of how some are always getting calls and visits.
translation: hounder-hounder = CO
defined as he who hounds the hounders
(hounders = elduhs)
i am thinking it is totally dependent on
how big a ruckus the GOBs (good ole boys)
think a fader will kick up.... they know for
a certainty if they came around here and
said "show up or you are out" and i decided
to show up... well, lets just say i never was
a shrinking violet and that is one dog fight
they do not want to have to clean up after
try to make the most of it.... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=4667262.
due east of ya, frozen one...
it is bone-chilling cold indeed!
frisky little number there...
amazing choreography!
some of you may remember me posting a few days ago that my shop had become some jw's magazine route.
well today the staff who was supposed to man the shop has called in sick, which meant that i had to go in and open up.
who should i find waiting for me on the door step with a big beaming self righteous grin on his face but a jw!
proud moment for unbelievers!
i am taken aback that he shook
his finger in your face...
maybe have a chat with local
law enforcement about harrassment....
it has helped me to really find myself.
i love how my brain works now.
it never did this when i was going to the kh.......i was just another stunted unpaid employee of the wtbts..didnt even get workmans comp while peddling the tower......lol....everything is on our dime.
I love how my brain works now
i hear ya blud....
the time i spend
in thought, thinking
freely and clearly...
well, you said it all
why take notes at meetings.
a little girl and her family were on their way to the kingdom hall.. half-way into the trip, the little girl shouted: "stop!
" the father asked: "why?
cringe threat level determined to be yellow
did anyone go to the meeting last night?
post the theme here.
thanks!.
@ dinah>>> so glad i swallowed my coffee before i read:
Millions Now Living Will.................nevermind District Convention
lmao
last night during the service meeting a letter was read indicating that more money was needed by jehovah's witnesses in order to expand the world-wide work .
it was suggested that each publisher take a piece of paper and write down the amount of money they would be willing to give and hand it to the elders.
it seems to be a cleverway to gather "seed money" by the organization while not calling it a "tithe.
i remember the "bros" working very hard
to get my h to pony up when they had to
extensively renovate the current hall due
to mold and ventilation issues.... he never
did offer any figure...
religeon is all crap.
i have spoken to different church members of different denominations and guess what?
they are all cult members and are all mind controlled!!!
i am out for good too...
cashed in the few chips
that i had left and got
up from the table...
the game is rigged
my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 1. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 2. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 3. my life ... and how jwd came to be - part 4. i swear, i thought it was only a couple of years at most since i wrote part 4 of "my life and how jwd came to be".
i re-read it after someone posted to it and brought it back on active topics and it was kind of prophetic in a way ... well, i had the 5 years part right if nothing else:.
it would be nice to visit the site (or whatever one is around then) in 5 years time to let people know how we're doing and find only a few of the same people still around.
lovely read on a cold morning
with a hot cuppa
time and unforeseen occurrence
has lent itself to some amazing
things, and this site is proof
i totally appreciate the posters who have a ton of bible knowledge and love research, but me being a witness for a few decades find myself not really interested in many of the discussions here and at the meeting.
the current "grace/undeserved kindness" post by sir82 is a prime example.. first off i do know that my personality is to be sceptical about most things, and i usually focus on things that i can see or are more simple, especially if it is a topic i am less interested in.. but am i bad because i don't really care if jesus died on a cross of stake?
or i am not interested in trying to figure out when (and if ) jehovah is going to take care of wicked people or resurrect dead people........ i kind of figure we will find out when it happens.. sometimes if feel stupid about bible things, but i take pride in trying to live by the basic bible principles and laws (about stealing, adultery, bad language, etc), although i do have a good deal of general knowledge about the bible, i could care less about breaking down the different "loves" in the hebrew language or greek language, or whatever..... i guess i have a similar knowledge of the scriptures as the "christians" before the wts "helped us figure it out" starting around 1900. .
i suspect you have more of a bible knowledge than you think....
for reasons more political than religious, i participated in a mainstream
church's ecumenical bible study on "what the bible really says about
homosexuality" this past summer, and i was stunned at the LACK of
familiarity these life-long church-goers displayed regarding the content
and historicity of the scriptures....
the JWs do know their way around the testaments....
even if their interpretation is whack....
i tell my kids that it is a book that requires at least a fundamental
familiarity, since it is still referred to in literature and history, at least
in western culture, but it need take no more further relevance than that...
yeah, i am mightly impressed by the "dig deep" researchers here...
the display of passionate inquiry is something awesome to behold
