  my husband reminded me of something crazy we did when we first started dating, so i thought i'd share it here and see if anyone else has some fun stories to add!.

  we went out to dinner one night...me in a nice dress and him in a dress shirt and slacks.

  afterward we decided to hit the beach for a nice moonlit walk in the sand.

  The best thing for me was knowing that I wasn't cracking up, that there was lots of other people who felt the same way about all the issues I was having. It's not my "lack of faith" that's the problem but the GB say, do and teach wrong stuff.

  These are hilarious! You guys are way more quick-witted than me! I remember most of these mags first time round so seeing them like this is really funny.

  Well done to all!

  could anyone scan page 12 of the august awake?

  someone told me that i look like the girl in the picture on that page but i don't know if they're just trying to trick me because they know i don't receive the mags anymore.

  i haven't let on that i'm not in the org anymore.

  I've just checked Aug and Sep Awake. No black girl on p12 of either but on p26 of both.
  I'd love to help but don't have a scanner. Sorry!

  Resoltions at the cong

  by Iwonder17 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so last night, our cong asked us to pass a resolution.. what i noticed was, the elder reads the resoltion and then asks for everyone in favor, while he is looking down.. all of the dubs just raise their hands, and before even looking up, th elder says, ok, we'll approve this and send it off.. what a joke !!

  why even bother.

  just make the rules and tell them people, don't give them the illusion that they have a say in the matter.

  What is YOUR bible of choice?

  by gloobster in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  although i'm pretty much an atheist, i still like reading the bible.

  it's an amazing literary masterwork to say the least.. my question is, after discovering that the new world translation of the wts was poorly translated and altered in ways designed to support their various peculiar doctrines (see john 1:1, etc.

  ), what bible translation are you all the most fond of?.

  I like the "Children's Living Bible". Its got very interesting footnotes such as the mention of blood being in relation to animals in Acts and the fact that the number of the beast is 616 not 666 (anyone see the episode of QI that mentioned that?).

  It modernizes things so its not a direct translation. Instead of x talents of gold it gives a dollar amount and instead of saying "You son of a good for nothing maiden" it says "You son of a bitch"!
