this is for those of you who sent me a private message saying you dont believe me, your letting your old jw traits come out, you know, not believing things when the facts stare you in the face unless it comes from the org.
maybee you should go back and re join them.. to confirm what happened .
i was at a john denver concert in the uk many years ago, he asked all catholics to stand up, after he got them seated he did the same with church of england, then the same with a couple of other religions, after he asked all jw's to stand up he announced that the concert would not go on untill they had all left and he then left the stage.
A plane crash was too good for him, and was he a wanker, you decide
(i saw him on a PBS concert earlier this year and i thought what a sweet voice he had, and what a good guitar player he was, and so what, he told some witnesses to leave, so because of that he got what he deserved when his plane crashed??! (p.s. what the hell were JW's doing at a "worldy" event anyway?)
washington, dc?as the nation approaches the one-year anniversary of the super bowl xxxviii tragedy, an fcc study shows that millions of u.s. children were severely traumatized by the exposure to a partially nude female breast during the feb. 1, 2004 halftime show.. .
"no one who lived through that day is likely to forget the horror," said noted child therapist dr. eli wasserbaum.
""but it was especially hard on the children.".
excellent commentary.
one night i was watching one of the godfather films, i think GF2, and they said it had been edited for television...yet it still had all the gore, etc, but this one scene where this girl takes off her top and exposes her breasts was editted with digital squares over that area so you couldn't see them. i'd rather my child see a pair of naked breasts than someone getting punped full of bullets with blood splattering all over the place...
i don't know what statistics say, or what other people have experienced-- i can only relate my POV. i endured physical and emotional abuse, and knew when i was going through it that when i grew up, i would never hurt my child in the same way, because it didn't feel good. people are amazed when they do find out what kind of home i come from..because they look at me and they look at my son and see a healthy, well adjusted child, who has never known anything from either of his parents except love and understanding. he has never even been hit by either one of us, screamed at, shamed, etc. so, i guess my answer is abusive environments do tend to produce abusive adults, but at the same time, there are those who break the cycle, and if i could break the cycle, why can't others? i have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who abuses any child and blames it on their crappy childhood!
so much talk of destruction, adverse judgement and the biga etc.... .
but the bible clearly talks of destruction of "god's" enemies right?
it can't be that many.
I had a few enemy ants last summer. There were hundreds, maybe thousands that tresspassed and entered my apt through a crack around the window.
try this, it's fascinating... next time you spot some ants walking in a line on your driveway or sidewalk, draw a line directly across their path with chalk. they will not cross it. i tried this with my son one day and he thought it was the coolest thing. i don't understand the scientific principle behind it, but it really works!
i've seen a few other ones but this one seems to be the most active.
by far the most interesting and diverse.. there's another one out there on e-watchman but found that one to be quite cheezy.
everyone overuses emoticons for some reason over there.
wheee......

Some of us indulge in emoticon abuse:
lol Leolaia! you can never have too many emoticons...

looks like someone was inspired by the wts......... .
company fires all employees who smoke.
yikes.
i don't smoke, but i completely disagree with this. cigarettes are not illegal, and what business is it of theirs what employees do on their own time? i mean, are they going to start doing cholesterol counts on employees next, and tail people home to see if they stop at Wendy's too often? this is so Big-Brother-ish. i'd sue them!
congratulations, Professor Valis. and good luck on twenty more...
just curious if jw urban legends are the same all over the world...?
i remember growing up in canada, there's two that really stand out in my mind.
1) the smurfs walking out of the kh.
well that tears it - - - i never heard of demonized shoes!
or this...
I remember in the 1970s being instructed at the meeting to go home and immediately destroy all Proctor and Gamble products. The WTS had just "learned" that the star and moon logo on their products was a symbol of devil worshipping, which was supported by the manufacturer of the products. When it was later found to be an urban legend, the JWs backpedaled and said, even if P&G wasn't into devil worship, it would be against the rules to have anything in your home that depicted the planets, so they should have been thrown away in the first place.how bizarre... now, about that nougat... if they didn't want you to literatlly eat blood, then were you allowed to eat meat? i mean, have you ever thawed meat out on the counter and when it's ready to cook, found this dark red liquid stuff on the plate...um, that's blood, right? i asked about that once and was told it was just juice so it was ok to eat it. hmm... but that P&G thing is just delusional...Then we were told to cease consuming any candy bars that had nougat in them because the nougat was made from blood. Again, a myth. Then the JWs backpedaled and said, since nougat contained gelatin (does it?), it was better not to eat it. But Jello was allowed. Go figure.
here in the uk we are very keen on gardening and many of our gardens are adorned with various features.
but one that stands out to many people is the love many uk residents have for gnomes.
now you must understand that whatever you read about political trends and devotions to various elected governments the real divisions in the uk are not along party lines.
you know, jehovah's witnesses sure miss out on a lot of wonderful things, like gnomes, fairies, pixies, unicorns, harry potters and frog princes, just because they live in a miasma of FEAR.
