i was wondering.
not that i have anyone in mind (except for bane).
what motivates an active and zealous jehovah's witness to come to a website like this one and insult everyone for being apostates, et cetera?
This is Bane from the Batman comics. Hugely muscled, cunning, and downright a genius. He broke the guy no one could break. I break apostates and eat them for breakfast. I out muscle, out cun, and out scripturize them at every turn. Apostates think they are immune. They are not.
OMFG That is so win. Thank you.

reverend jesse jackson isn't taking cleveland cavalier's owner dan gilbert's comments about lebron james lightly.
gilbert recently made headlines for writing a scathing open letter to james after the star basketball player signed with the miami heat last week.
You nailed it, sooner. Idiocy knows no color.
egg and i were treated out to dinner three times last weekend by out of state visiting relatives.
just found out last night that they don't believe in tipping, at all!
we suggested the places to eat and frequent those places ourselves.
I used to be a server, so I usually tip a minimum of 25%. But I leave a dollar or less if the service is lousy. Some servers find that to me more insulting than leaving nothing at all.
bane said, on another thread:.
quentin, you haven t moved on!
that is my whole point!
Bane, what you have written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever read. At no point during your rambling, incoherant post were you even close to anything that could have been considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
he is 56 and his wife is 47..they are expecting a baby!.
can you imagine..he will be older than me when his kid graduates hs... and she will be in her middle to late 60's... makes me feel young again.... .
I'm with you, yesidid. I hope they have happy, healthy children, but the odds are definitely against them.
we were at a party (get-together in jw speak) and somehow the ones i was talking with changed the subject to a talk given by the co that "the end is closer than we think.".
i just sheepishly asked the group ... "i don't understand that phrase, "the end is closer than we think.
" i said my parents told me i would never go to school, then later that i would never graduate from high school, and that i would never get married.. then i mentioned my parents were expecting the end to be in 1975 ... my grandparents were expecting the end numerous times in the 1920's and 1930's.. so i very nicely asked, "isn't is more correct to say "the end is farther than we think?
This is party chatter for JWs? Jeez, how boring. That makes me almost as sad as knowing that they still buy into everything Brooklyn tells them.
Ain't no party like a J-Dub party, 'cause the J-Dub party don't... start.
yesterday, i brought a batch of cupcakes to my son's school.
in passing them out, i started to give one to one of the children, who was a jw.
he immediately started freaking out and screaming "no thank you" over and over.
Uhh, sniping atop a water tower with a sawn-off shotgun would make the kid retarded, not psychotic.Charles Whitman, the Texas Tower Sniper was described as psychotic. He definitely wasn't retarded if he could make it into University and the Marine Corps.
Heaven, I think the point was that the child would be retarded because a sawed-off shotgun is not the weapon for any sort of long-range shooting. Charles Whitman took rifles with him and more than likely used those for the distance shooting, saving the shotgun for anyone who got too close to him.
Anyway -- Ilovebirthdays, that was a great story. I'm sure that child will remember you for making him feel like he belonged with the rest of the group (for a change). Good for you.
intellectual honesty and personal integrity depend on a fine point.
can you accept being wrong and admit it?.
nobody wants to be wrong because we have to trust your view of things to survive and prosper.
Every day I go to work.
i know some who go to meetings because they feel they have to because of family or other considerations.. imagine going to a meeting and having your iphone with you!.
how would it look if you had a watchtower in your hands along with a tv guide?.
think about going to a meeting with strong booze breath.. any other suggestions?
I would sleep, though I'm sure it wouldn't be deliberately.
something i've been meaning to ask for a while since coming here, is wsup with the writing department's use of exclamation points?
i'm no literature buff or anything, but to me personally, the exclamation points cheapen whatever they're trying to get across.
here's some examples from the new jeremiah book.. how thankful we can be for the teaching done by christian shepherds!.
The exclamation points motivate me to stop reading. How sad for the Writing Department!
