  Tattoos/Piercings?

  by Think About It in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i feel like woody allen in the 1973 movie "the sleeper".

  i leave in 1995, wake up 15 yrs later to see what has been going on in the jw religion and find out it is completely different from what i left.

  i started a thread about beards, because i wanted to know how the modern day beard and goatee fad went over in the kh's.. now i'm curious about the tattoo, piercings and short or shaved hair look.

  You ever drive to the meeting, or field service meeting point, and do a U-Turn and go back home?

  i did this today.

  last night, the pretty little weather girl stated there would "be heavy rain marked by occasional thunderstorms.

  " i thought to myself, great, hopefully its so bad when i awaken, anybody originally planning on going out, will just stay home.

  I did when meeting for service many times. Sometimes I just couldn't do it. But I usually went on to the meetings since for many years I played the piano so could'nt just not show up.

  Terry's Amazing Stories

  by Blue Grass in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  am i the only one who think's a lot of the amazing stories terry come up with are fabricated or completely untrue?

  every week he tells us how he by chance ran into a jw, mormon, evangilcial, etc.

  and comes up with witty answers every time to counter every point they make and than have them running in fear.

  The Man in the Arena 100 years ago today.

  by sooner7nc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the 100 year anniversary of one of tr's greatest speeches and it's most memorable quote...or at least the one i like the most.. .

  "it is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out howthe strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

  the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.".

  I like this! Makes us realise we are all important in this life and need to keep trying no matter what.

  What the heck is wrong with my freind?

  by Strider Arekksu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  well, i already posted about the jws clearly having thier doctrine just crap.

  but i told my friend and it seems like it's just not getting through.

  like he will say he'll look into it, but he really won't or i'll give him a 12 page paper that is 3/4th scripture countering nay destroying a jw doctrine out of the reasoning book and he won't do anything... just blank out.

  I'd personally lay off awhile. If you keep talking about it, it might just make him upset with you. Show him how happy you can be without the org. Don't push so hard.

  One time at the book study that was held at a home a sister farted on the metal chair. Of course that made it louder and I could not control myself. I had to leave the room with tears running down my face from laughing. I think she stayed mad at me for a while after that.

  That was the most awful thing that I have seen happen in this state ever. I cried for days as I watched the coverage on the news. It's hard to believe it has been 15 years!
