  Definitely Christian.

  And they have a scripture to back up all they say. Like God does hate fags. Its in Leviticus.

  Questions about The Garden of Eden - Found nr. Rashaya, Lebanon

  by paygan in

  my name's paul and i'm carrying out important work to show and share with the world the location of real garden of eden and central site of the agricultural (neolithic) revolution.

  i led the field walk there in november 2009 and saw the damage being inflicted and the urgent need for protection by getting world heritage site status, requiring public support and official investigation.. http://www.paygan.com/eden/images/500/kharsagpanorama.jpg - the garden of eden (kharsag) - panorama.

  this location of the site was comprehensively mapped out by christian o'brien in his 1985 book, "the genius of the few" where he identified it through descriptions given in the earliest nippur tablets (the barton cylinder, etc), atrahasis and the book of enoch, along with other mentions in the bible, the book of jubilees, the koran etc.

  Really, you found the garden of eden!!!!!!! Ooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

  That's great, cause I found Narnia in my wardrobe, and I'm going to Hogwart's tomorrow on the Victoria line, track 8 1/2, Paddington.

  Nice to see you back. I've missed you so much since you left Santa Rosa's Mental Institution.

  Stupid Illustration

  by EmptyInside in

  a witness related an illustration they heard at an assembly.

  and sadly,they thought it was so profound.

  it was brought out how some young people feel the restrictions of the "truth" cage them in.

  I heard another version of it - that we were in a jungle, and if we heard a lion roar and then saw a cage, we would run and lock ourselves in and be happy for the restrictions.

  Got a letter “inviting” me to my Judicial hearing- should I go?

  hey everyone, my family and i have not gone to meeting in over a year.

  rumors have swirled about us, but i have always dodged the elders calls and never said anything about my feelings.

  so after a while the calls/visits dwindled, but in october they came by again and saw our halloween decorations.

  The sister is commenting "Yes, Brother Schmudnik, the Bible clearly shows that oral and anal sex, even between married couples, does not please Jehovah". She also happens to be a single virgin who doesn't know what the f@(k she's talking about.

  That's why the sister in blue in the back row is smiling since she doesn't want to blow her husband, an elder, who is looking accusingly at the WT conductor as they've secretly blown each other after some steamy judicial committee meeting.

  The sister in blue in the middle row is somewhat distraught since she knows her zealous husband isn't going downtown anymore, who happens to be smirking thinking he doesn't have to lick her fishiness anymore.

  And Moshe got the single sister's thoughts right, who's going to her BF's so they can practice all that today's WT was about ;)

  Am I the only one that's nerdy about evolution? Or worried that kids are being brainwashed into creationism?

  The expression 'need greaters'. Anyone else heard this?

  by jambon1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife gets emails from someone who is serving in another country.. he keeps on referring to brothers/sisters who are 'need greaters'.. if they are actually using this expression then i have to say that it is the stupidest 'title' that they have ever dreamed up.

  so full of their own self importance.. need greaters?..............

  I was a need-greater in Ecuador from 93 to 98. Since the org is really all about titles, those that go and do something special need to give themselves a title so they feel important...
