Speaking as an American, it seems to me that over here there's always been a perception that our friends across the river are a bit sharper, more literate, and sophisticated than we, but that's probably just what it is, a perception thing.

Oh dear God, was that Splane in the intro? Guy had a combover before he was bald, and a voice dripping with smarm and condescension before he was GB. Sure does love to be seen, don't he?

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

by yourmomma in

have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

I think we've reached a tipping point here, folks. ;-)

Got a feeling it's only a matter of time now.

Let's see how long we can keep this thread going. Shall we go for a record here, folks?

This is going to be my last - and possibly most important - post for a while. Going to channel my energy into more creative and productive outlets. ;-)

agonus

Hate the sin, not the sinner, I suppose.

Unproductive Anger

by agonus in

hi friends,.

i have a feeling i may need to cut back a bit here.

it's doing nothing but fueling my anger and i'm not sure that anger is any longer productive (kind of like the org itself).

agonus

You're welcome! :-)

We're all part of the idea. Most folks just have no, er, idea. ;-)

This, I believe, is the true meaning of the Divine Name. The Organization focuses more on the (admittedly not-actually-known) "pronunciation" of the name itself than its meaning. And this is why ideas are so dangerous to the GB - they have no idea of the true meaning (or maybe they do and just refuse to let folks in on it). What do you get when you have an organization that tells you not to think because they'll do the thinking for you... but they lack the ability to think themselves? I think their latest "meat in due season" speaks for itself.

The image is the letters Yod, Dalet, He, and Aleph. The Latin equivalent of these letters were originally I, D, E, and A. (In Latin, "Jehovah" begins with an "I". Remember Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?). Check out this very cool link...

The letters Yod and He, (first two letters of the divine name), when spelled out as the above Hebrew words, have the Latin counterparts I, D, E, and A.

Pretty cool, eh? ;-) And yet there is more!

It's the word "IDEA". ;-)

I did the face thing to my Gordon Freeman avatar. Hilarity ensued, esp. the thin Gordon. Check it out...

I love the thin Gordon! Looks kinda like a fisheye-lens caricature of me with specs ;-)
