there're the obvious ones, like the smurfs.
although why still escapes me.
was it because of the magic, that they were "magical creatures", that there were wizards, etc?.
Great teachThe Smurfs were hated because of Gargamel the Wizard.
He was the bad guy even within the episodes, so I don't know if that reasoning makes sense.
I actually think it's because they were a new kids craze.
So they hit the GB naughty list on all three scores....ie being new, popular and for the young. How much of a sad, miserable, curmudgeonly old git do you have to be, to prevent kids from enjoying a cartoon??
formerly on the exjw reddit and i leaked the annual meeting link there.
for now, i have migrated here and i will return to reddit next year under a new username!.
if you lived at this time, how would you view these men and women?.

Why only one? Why not both?
I'm in an open relationship with both Reddit and JWdotnet - a poly-amorous poster, if you will😈. Because Watchtower 'tampered' with my sexuality, I can't commit to one forum😬🤨
NB Happy Christmas to you too, you beast. By the way you're the spitting image of another forum member LUHE.....you're not related by any chance?😆
richard dawkins revealed that he celebrates christmas on radio four's today programme.. here is is quoted as saying: .
'i am perfectly happy on christmas day to say merry christmas to everybody,' dawkins said.
'i might sing christmas carols - once i was privileged to be invited to kings college, cambridge, for their christmas carols and loved it.
St. Athanasius, one of the great fathers and theologians of the Church, tells us: "The Son of God became human so that we might become God." Obviously we do not become God in the way that God is God, but we become God-like, we are divinized.
Sounds rather Egyptian...?!
I adore Christmas Carols, Gregorian chants and all high Church music. I regularly attend Kings College Carol services.
It's part of my culture...
That's no more hypocritical than a Christian who loves Black Sabbath, AC DC, or Metal in general, is it?
Nico It doesn't matter that I'm not Christian, I was there for my friend. I would've attended if I'd been Sikh or Hindu too.
Yes I remember banging saucepans together when my Chinese neighbour died.
Of course I don't believe I was scaring away ghosts....I joined in as they requested as a show of support for my grieving neighbours

PioneerSchmioneerVery interesting, thank you ! I know the British royal family open their gifts on Christmas eve, following their German family traditions....
so for those amongst us who celebrate the season .
merry christmas everyone.

Furthermore....our Battle of Britain pilots, like my two great uncles, saved our asses in the UK during WW2 (well and Hitler's refusal to press home his advantage at Dunkirk).
Edit: apologies for derailment Jan from Tam, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!

By the way, should it not be obvious to the most green of psychologists, your sgt. Audie Murphy was almost certainly, like many if his kind, someone with the dark triad of developmental disorders....namely psychopathy, narcissism and sociopathy.
Very useful in war, no doubt. In peace time he likely would have ended up one of your school shooters.

As it should be, to the enemy. Your culture wouldn't exist without mine.
Oh, hell no. Coming in at the last minute and kick starting your whole economy.
That is utterly laughable. Try telling that to the 8.7 million Russian combat soldiers (not including the 19 million civilians), by the way.
Killing doves....what a wonderful way to spend your life.
That Is one of THE main issues I have against the Bible. That it teaches adherents to place such little value on animal life and arrogantly think, like the foolish MONKEYS they are, that they have the god given right to take animal life at will.
*And if you think your pop guns will stop your government should it turn on you, you're having a laugh.

The Ipsilon Media comp. has now his new adress in Zagreb ...Come on ! the court have his new adress . Unless he said that was his business adress and oops forget to tell the court he also lives there?
Also as an FYI Ipsilon media - despite Lloyds claims to his patron's and subbies that he's wound it up - appears to be very much still "active". At least as of Dec1st, anyway, and as far as I can find evidence of it's status online.
what is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.
g..
Nico. Don't assume doctrine is important to any but a few remaining diehard elderly JW's, it isn't. Everything is up for grabs, there are no sacred cows and nothing matters but the money.
Make it nice and easy (and dumb) and perhaps the congregations will last and keep contributing.
I agree with you, Nic......except....if they changed 1914 it would give every Single Pimo, PimQ, and elder-doing-it-for-the-wife-but-too-scared-to-think the exact reason they need to get up and walk out without looking like satan himself and risk loosing his/their families.
Thoughts?
