When i was 16, i met this hawt girl on the internet, we were gonna meet up for fun ;)
But then i went to a convention and they read a scripture about fornicators burning in the lake of fire and sulphur, and as a result i stood her up :(
What a dick i was!

I wonder how long it will be before there is an Awake article on the subject with some wonderful Francis Hitching quotes.
-.-
i pioneered and was a missionary for 20 years.. i brought 1 person in.. he is still a witness i hear, i haven't been able to find him though.. and you?.

"I thought missionariers bring "hundreds and hundreds" of new people in WTBS...? Was I wrong?"
Just assume that whatever the society says is wrong, and chances are you'll be correct.
i had a couple of pretty good ones, i thought.. my first one was theocratic news.
i know a lot of congregations that did this one.
we had a long table facing the audience, and we gave the "theocratic news" from the km as if it were a tv news broadcast.
looks like american j-dubs have more fun than us brits :(
not that it bothers me anymore :)
it shows people running away crying, and fire balls coming from heaven, with angels firing arrows at them.. i really don't think this kind of picture is neccesary.. i don't know how to paste a picture here, i'd appreciate if someone could do it for everyone to see what i am talking about.. .

i always used to find the armageddon pictures troubling, especially as a young child. Looking back now i can see exactly why i didn't leave the truth until my balls dropped, i was scared shitless of dying like the 'evil' people in those illustrations.
it's very odd hearing him using his normal british accent!.

I find it weird how anyone can not have known about him until House, i didn't realise he was only famous here in England until then, i thought Blackadder was internationally successful...
wilson, a pal of best-selling atheists richard.
dawkins and christopher hitchens, made the stunning announcement last month.
that he has now returned to faith by becoming a follower of jesus.
I can understand how someone with a limited understanding of cosmology (most of us really) may conclude that there needs to be some sort of creator (although i don't make that conclusion myself), but jumping straight for Jesus because you feel life is mysterious = dumbass move.
buddhism would be my choice ....
'religion' & 'reasonable' both in one sentence... does not compute...
from what i can tell, there was some discussion out here on this article about a month ago, but at that time few folks had their copy to look at (we just received it last week at our hall).
now that most jw's have their copy, there has been a lot of discussion about it - at least here, that is.
as was mentioned already, this is definitely a follow up to the 5/1/07 qfr "when does the callling of christians to a heavenly hope cease?
"and even though these newly "anointed" are in a cult, many of them are probably young, and have some secular education as well as common sense"
Sorry, but someone who thinks they are one of 144,000 chosen people who are to go to heaven with an immortal soul and rule with Jesus isn't likely to be overflowing in the common sense department.
