  They can't truly be themselves. They can't speak freely with fellow Jws in fear of being reprimanded.

  Lennon and McCartney could so easily have been writing for the Watchtower...

  by The Rebel in

  in fact just like the watchtower, i've no idea what they were writing about half the time.

  all that rubbish about " i am the walrus" and eleanor rigby keeping her teeth in a jam jar or something, and what "lucy the in the sky with diamonds" means i do not know!

  anyway, i mention the above because shortly after i quit meetings, beattle loving brother, ian x also, stopped attending meetings, and i watched him transform himself in to a, scruffy bearded, hippyish, beer drinking slob, ( translation a great guy) .

  I think Eleanor rigby was Paul's song and I am the walrus was johns. At that point in thief career they were pretty much writing indepandant of each other but the songs we're still credited to both writers.

  If Prince had an addiction to prescriptions drugs, it's a personal matter but if I want to grow a beard or attend college, it's not.

  interesting article i found about prince and the jw religion.

  i guess they are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame.

  i find it disturbing that the elder stated if prince had an addiction to prescription drugs, that is a personal matter but the hundreds of intrusive jw rules like going to college (not scriptural) and growing a beard (also not scriptural) are not also considered a personal choice.

  I went to the assembly last weekend I noticed a lot of people there that I hadn't seen in a while. Fence sitters. Our crappy economy is bringing people back to the fold.

  Circuit Overseer say. . .

  last night i had to suffer through the bs spouted by the new co. some garbage about the bible transforming us as people.

  he went on and on about how we can look good to people at the hall who see the outside, but the bible will tell us what we are inside.. then he proceeded to use a few select verses to say sex is bad and so is the desire for it.

  a healthy bank account or savings is wrong, shouldn't have that either.

  I remember a co talk where he started out by saying I'm not going to guilt trip anyone then started to make people feel guilty they weren't doing enough.

  Socialism

  by Perry in

  1. social
  2. current

  socialists think that money will solve all man's problems.

  everything is obsessively related to money in the socialist ideology.. they have an almost supernatural ability to blame others with more money.

  god calls this greed and envy.

  Canada's a great place to live but we could do a lot better IMO.

  Our productivity sucks.
