she's so fine its a sin, she's my sinsation.
i didn't know they were still doing these beauty pageants.
i've never found these pageant contestants all that attractive, as i prefer a round the way girl myself.
No offence but this thread is worthless without pics !!!
;)
I purposely neglected posting any pics of her. I'm all for some eye candy, but I don't want to turn any women away from this thread. I want to hear their thoughts on this. She is fine by the way. Bad woman.

These contests should have went the way of the dinosaur, or brick phones. 2010 is wrapping up, and Hillarly Clinton is the Secretary of State, Angela Merkel is the current German Chancellor, Oprah is loaded, Mariah Carey is the head of her household, Sarah Palin is well, Sarah Palin. Women have come a long way, and I'm happy for them. Considering the thread on women and head coverings, I wish success and happiness for all the JWN women. I realize, not all women can be painted with the same brush, at least in most respects, but what do you think of beauty contests, or these Miss USA pageants? Are they appropriate for this day and age? Are these contests demeaning?
as i watch the watchtower fall.
nothing left to govern my body.
i fall into the winter.
LOL. start calling you Nas.
no, i don't mean the visit by oprah.. there was a special talk on sunday relayed to all the aussie congs from sydney.
apparently the speaker had an american accent, but was stationed in a latin american country.
he was really pushing field service and pulled out the old one that: if you do not witness you are not one of jehovah's witnesses.
My Circuit Assembly was fairly recent, and as always there were talks focusing on the importance of the ministry. Nothing new there, but there was definately more urgency within the tone and material of the talks. I'm wondering if this same Special Talk was delivered at the Circuit Assembly and not mentioned as a special talk, because there's nothing on the agenda in the way of special talks anytime soon at my congregation. At the assembly, everything is special per say.
I have the notes I took during the assembly with me right now. I started to do a thread on this and the circuit assembly in general, but figured this fits in harmony with the subject of this thread. The syposium had a section regarding Babylon the Great, and the speaker went out of his way to contrast the difference between the WT and Christendom. He specifically stated that we should not let the unpopularity of the ministry deter us, and referenced 1 Tim 4:8. He also stated Babylon the Great has an improper view of the preaching work, stating that they view the door to door work as primitive in consideration of technology and media. The ironic thing about it was, either he, or the outline, or maybe both made the case that the door to door work is primitive. I say that because after dissing Christendom, he goes on to say that the door to door work is "our trademark." He acknowledged the extreme apathy, and even hostility JWs face in the ministry. However the fact that its "our trademark", is sufficient reason enough to go door to door.
Another talk that was delivered, used the "tomb of the unknown solder" as an illustration of our duty to be in field service. The speaker stated that "orders remain unchanged" regarding soldiers guarding the tomb. The speaker then stated that our orders from Jesus remain unchanged, referencing Matt 28:19, 10 and Acts 5:42. Worth mentioning, that text in Acts mentions preaching in the temple, which the speaker didn't mention. He only focused on the house to house portion of that verse.
One last thing, that shows their emphasis on the ministry, was a demo contrasting two families on any given evening. The first family was the wayward family, ya know, the bad example. The mother was attending night school for a degree, and afterwards going out for drinks with her girlfriends. The son was going over a friend's home to play the latest vampire video game. The daughter was going to a midnight shopping spree. I can't recall what the dad settled on doing for the evening. The speaker did the routine, "this family is a poor example" routine. Then they introduced another family getting prepared for the ministry on a Friday night. The kids were excited and couldn't wait to go in field service. The kids also were excited that on Sunday, they would be hosting a prominent brother and his wife for hospitality, and couldn't wait to hear the stories this pioneer couple would share with them from preaching in foreign lands. It was so unrealistic that I found it humorous.
Like I said, I don't know if the special talk delivered in the land down under, was done at all during the circuit assembly. I do know that during the assembly the emphasis being placed on field service, particulary door to door, was at steroid levels of guilt tripping.
ok i was raised in the "truth" but no one ever studied with me.
my parents were abusive and i got nothing from them or anyone in the "truth" no bible study any attention nothing from anyone.. i read the great teacher book to myself at the age of seven, and when i was in my mid teens i started studying on my own with no help from anyone nor any answers my questions expect to be rebuked if i asked the wrong question so i quit asking it was god's chosen religion after all who was i to question anything.
i conducted the sort of study and this elder looked at me and said where is your head covering.
Wanted to mention, this is a very good thread. As a man I'm sometimes oblivious to how women get treated in the truth. This isn't a religion people can just air their complaints about while still in it. At times I even wallow in my own misery within this organization and forget what women have to deal with too. Tip my hat to any woman putting up with this weirdo religion.
anyone in jasper georgia?.
i heard through the grapevine that there's a hoopla going on within the local congregation and bethel.
the local congregation decided to take contributions for the non-jw community.
JW and WT gossip is always so juicy. I anticipating like watching Days Of Our Lives.
if the society said that umbrellas were indeed pagan, because their origins are, and you would be dfed if you used one do you think the rank and file would obey?
or do you think that would push them over the edge?
i can just see the wealthy witness woman you know, the real pretentious ones not going out when it rains etc..
Wow, I didn't know this. Wow.
The sad thing is that a die hard JW would read this write from the WT Library, and fail to see the irony.
so i get a knock on the door and a minister from a local 7th day adventists is at my doorstep.
it felt very much like a witness.
he asked me about my life and how things were going and if i was a christian.. i explained to him that i gave up christianity a while back and he asked why.
Now THAT's interesting. I've never ran into an Adventist before. They're like a urban legend although they are kind of like our twisted stepbrother speaking from a JW perspective. Ran into quite a few Mormons in my time, and discussed quite a few things with them too. They made me feel quite normal looking back on it all, as they're a little more nuts than Fred Franz was. But an Adventist......I've never known one or seen one.
hey here we go!!!.
they will need to buy some more crackers and cheap wine for next year now.
what are the borg going to concocked now to cover there ass with the number of morons going up again at the memorial 2010 ?.
Since they're openly questioning, or maybe I should say insinuating, that the recent flux of annointed partakers aren't "genuine", would it be fair to question the genuinity of the annointed comprising the GB and other leadership in this organization? This increase, now past 11,000 at this late day and age of the end, has me questioning if this organization has a problem similar to Invasion of the Body Snatchers. How far have the non-genuine annointed infiltrated God's chosen organization? Is it possible that there's a Metastasized Class of counterfeit annointed Christians within the walls of the WT? Maybe we'll get new light on the wheat and the weeds illustration? Maybe that illustration had absolutely nothing to do with Christendom vs. The Watchtower. Maybe the wheat and the weeds illustration was actually about the genuine annointed followers within the WT organization, and the recent influx of non-genuine annointed partakers falsely partaking of the emblems and not leaving enough wine for the genuine alcoholics within the congregation. I swear all this crap is so stupid anymore.
just wanted to say that as of tonight, i have completed my first semester of college.
it feels great.
i have met a lot of new friends, many of them great people.
Congratulations MF31. I'm flirting with the idea of going to school, it's on the far end of the back of my mind. Guys like you bump that distant thought on my mind to the front a little bit. Good for you, I hope the best for you bruh.
