  2. friends

  i am just curious about people in non christian countries who have occasion to cuss.we in english speaking countries with a christian background frequently use expressions such as "jesus christ" "christ almighty" "christ" "geez" etc.etc.

  what do people in non christian lands say when making such exclamations ?

  for eg muslim countries, asian countries,mainland china etc.

  Though I've never understood why people use other people's God's as swear words. Does not seem very respectful.

  In Quebec, Canada they say "Tabernac!" which is referring to the literal tabernacle. It basically means the same thing as F***.

  I Got Called By One of the Elders Yesterday (I think)

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let me start by saying that the congregation i was in split into two congregations long ago.

  let's just say i was in "north" and i know everyone from "south" but i have actually never ever set foot in "south's" kingdom hall.. so my cell phone rings and displays a local call, but not a name.

  that means it's not a stored number.

  J-dub elders throwing a wrench in funeral services for my nephew

  by mimimimi in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i said in my earlier post, my nephew took his own life yesterday evening.

  my sister is a die-hard jw and this religion is her comfort more than ever right now, so she accepts everything they throw at her.

  the elders will meet this evening and decide whether they will allow a memorial service at the kh.

  I am very sorry to hear about your loss.

  There were 2 suicides in the last few halls I was in. Both had the memorial talk in the Kingdom Hall. Fortunately, at least some of the Elders in those halls held Jesus-like compassion over pharisee-like organizational directives.

  So Adam has been alone 35 years naming frickin animals? BULLCRAP!

  Good thing he didn't know that 35 years of naming went down the drain when all the animal kind variants got wiped out in the flood.
