  I recommend cattle prods up the arse and then sitting in a tub of water for all of them. Cures that anal retention immediately.

  it is futile to store up material things they will only end up in the landfill.

  Ah, basically, it's work for us for free and give up any sort of normal life. Yeah, new toilet, same old shit.

  I think I heard that talk in 1975-96, which is when I quit going to ASSemblies.

  Yes, dumbass and if Adam hadn't been thinking with his little head, there'd be no YOU standing up their talking out of your own Johnson, according to your own beliefs!

  God, just reading this makes me want to go blind! How can you stand to listen to this....ugh.

  Did your K Hall have "Vomit" carpet like this?

  by Open mind in

  the hall i grew up in had hideous carpet from a company in georgia, usa that was purportedly owned by jws called "world carpet" (not very spiritual sounding in retrospect).

  i saw this monstrous stuff all over the usa.

  i'm pretty sure bethel facilities even got some of this stuff back in then.. .

  One hall I went to had the seats upholstered in a big block plaid of orange, green, black and gold. It was like looking at lumberjacks on LSD.

  I swear, it used to give me headaches...either that or the crappy flourescent lighting.

  litotes: a form of understatement or intensified expression.. .

  a figure lean or corpulent, tall or short, though deviating from beauty, may still have a certain union of the various parts, which may contribute to make them on the whole not unpleasing.

  IF you were God...

  would you need worship...think about it, you're god what would you need of worship...you made life isn't that enough, did you make it to grovel upon the earth seeking your approval ready to spite it at any infraction to demand of it total loyality or destroy it at your whim because it didn't meet to your approval...why would you create it in the first place why would you need it....

  If I were God...well, first of all, I'd get me a really nice car...and...

  Nah, if God is as amazing as people say, he doesn't need us....we need him.

  I doubt he's all lonely and needs wuv from humans. Snap of the fingers and a whole new bunch of little heavenly buddies to hang out with or a new solar system to play with.

  i've lurking for months, and have enjoyed the various personalities on the board.

  i'm pretty sure that i've seen this topic done on an old thread, but i don't want to get my buddy asilentone all riled up by performing a resurrection.

  Well, if nothing else, I have the fact that the Society had my very alive brother listed as "deceased" rather than DA, and yet, the elders treated him as DA for years and made him get reinstated by jumping through all sorts of hoops.

  His psycho ex was the one who wrote the DA letter and signed his name in the first place. Oh, but they never could find that letter, either.

  Who wrote the book of Revelation?

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i commented elsewhere that some believe john the baptist might have been the author of the book of revelation.

  i thought i should start a new thread on this subject, since the subject might be of interest to others.. over the centuries, several names have been put forward as the author but, as i wrote, some only think the firebrand baptist might have been the author, but no one really knows.. i have provided a scan from a book that discusses what we know of the author as well as canvassing possible candidates.. the pages are available at:.

  Some of it is Isaiah re-written somewhat, so I'm pretty sure they were acquainted with the Hebrew scriptures.

  But, man, I want some of what they were smokin. Good stuff!

  Governing Body/FDS Question

  by Inkie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jw's say that all the anointed are members of, or make up, the faith and discreet slave ("fds").

  and they say that from among them a little group form the governing body.

  can you help out here in a bit of understanding?

  Actually I think it's all a plot to sell us more feminine deodorant spray.

  But seriously, the only Faithful and Discreet Slave the Bible talks about is Christ.

  It's just him, if you're a Christian, you don't need anyone else. He didn't abandon Christianity and he doesn't need the help of a bunch of pretentious and deluded humans.
