" users of this phrase are anything but sorry.
what they mean is "i'm an asshole.
now i'm going to prove it.
I hate it when people "coversate."
I don't hate this one because most people don't know it, but I think it's funny when people claim to be nautious. Being nautious means that you cause other people to become nauseated. I like to point that out to the person and laugh just before they throw up on me. Huh, I guess they were nautious after all.
anyone had any experiences good or bad.
i'm interested in your stories.. .

Warlock, I did a little research on burden of proof before I posted earlier to make sure I was not mistaken. Did you research your point of view or are you just stating your own opinion? I can point you to some information if you'd like to verify your postion through an outside source:

Warlock, you are mistaken. Do some research on the "burden of proof."
Outside a legal context, "burden of proof" means that someone suggesting a new theory or stating a claim must provide evidence to support it: it is not sufficient to say "you can't disprove this." Specifically, when anyone is making a bold claim, either positive or negative, it is not someone else's responsibility to disprove the claim, but is rather the responsibility of the person who is making the bold claim to prove it. In short, X is not proven simply because "not X" cannot be proven.
In other words, drwtsn32 has no stool at all. He is merely examining the stool you have placed in front of him.
after i finished this video i really liked it, so i'm sharing with everyone here.
go comment, if you want to mirror by all means, or if you want to create your own along the same lines with comment from the watchtower (fantastic idea btw) or from comments left on your youtube channel please do.
it will only get the message out more.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tdkvilembw.
It's a good video. Even when I was a teenage witness I couldn't imagine writing comments like those. They go by kind of fast though; I couldn't read all of them.
there was a program on t v last night that went into the paganism beliefs and practises (including wicca, etc) i have to admit i do still feel uncomfortable with thier rites and religious practises (well i guess i feel the same way about christians talking in tongues - just not comfortable with gibberish) - doesn't make sense and borders on the weird for me.
i know it also stems from the unknown.. on the point of a goddess - that doesn't bother me because even though many picture god as male and showcase him as such, i am mindful of the scripture that says that spirit is neither male/female.. .
I hate it when people refer to God as "she". If it was a she, it would be Goddess. People who worship a Goddess are fine, though.

rebel8 I could kiss you for posting that video. No tongue.
i posted a similar thought about this on another thread a couple of weeks ago but i thought i would expand on it and start its on thread.... .
the watchtower society, as leaders of the jehovah's witness religion, claim to accept the bible as the divine word of jehovah god and jesus christ as his only begotten son sent to earth as a ransom sacrifice.
though it can be argued that jesus is demoted in jw doctrine compared to jehovah, jesus teachings are the basis for what they call the "true christian congregation".. if we compare the society's ban on blood with jesus' view of mercy versus sacrifice, it can be shown that the society's view on blood is actually against the teachings of christ and against the principles of mercy as he shows in the scriptures.. there is only one scripture in the new testament (greek scriptures) that the society can offer as evidence that god prohibits the ingestion of blood (forgetting the sidebar argument of eating vs transfusing).... acts 15:29 - ...to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication.
I have a lack of disregard for life.
Seriously, good point, though. Wish someone had pointed that out to me years ago.

"Traumatic experiences" and "dire consequences" with no details or explanations. I call shenanigans.

Did the israelites miss all the egyptian celebrations when they left with moses?
Actually, I thought they did. Am I misremembering how the Israelites pined for the good things they had in Egypt and were eager to engage in festivities with other nations they met in the wilderness?
