Are you a TRUE Christian?!?
by brotherdan ini've been thinking alot over the past few days on what makes a christian a christian, and i'm coming to some different conclusions than i ever have.... the watchtower likes to use the term "true believers" or "true christians".
i'm at a loss here lately.
you are either an atheist or you are not.

Do you consider Jehovah's Witnesses to be Christians?

A serious Bible contradiction for me
by sabastious inmark 9:.
38 teacher, said john, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.. 39 do not stop him, jesus said.
for no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me,40for whoever is not against us is for us.41 truly i tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the messiah will certainly not lose their reward.. .

EDIT: Nevermind what I'd written here a second ago. For a B&W thinker, I'm sure it works just fine.

but do you sometimes think that Americans don't realise there are other time zones .... do some think that when they go to bed, the whole world goes to bed
Mucho take it easy, friends.
I assumed the JWN server was located somewhere in North America but I could be wrong. But if one wanted to establish the terms "day crew" and "night crew" for the sake of a silly discussion, would it not be reasonable to view time from the perspective of the server's time zone?
Didn't realize it would cause a stir. My apologies, friends on the bottom hemisphere. :-D (I'm kidding there as well. I realize north being on "top" and south being on "bottom" are arbitrary directions.)
How about this: Cheers to all friends not in North America and/or the server's time zone and/or my own time zone. or

funny times growing up a witness
by strymeckirules ini was raised from the age two as a witness by my new recruit parents in 1981. i was born in 79.. i didn't like being jw, and that didn't mean i was a saint.. and my parents were fanatical and still are.. i have an an older sister and a younger brother and we are all 2 years apart.. my brother and i were a riot.
mischeivious, rambuctious, hyperactive and not afraid of nothing.. we had games over the years.. like singing in british accents during the songs(and during bible reading at family study) and screwing with the word just loud enough for each other to hear.. we used to have armrest battles when we sat beside eachother.
pushing elbows until the other slipped and got in trouble.

Sweet jeebus this is hilarious! Lotsa memories coming back.
I had a cousin that was close in age and we were always trying to get each other to crack up when we sat together, too.
When one of us would start laughing, we'd have to reach down as though we were tying our shoe to disguise it.
I once waited for him to come back from the bathroom during a talk and I slipped a tie tack under his butt when he sat down. Of course, he always tried to make me laugh by plopping down with as much force as he could muster. The timing was impeccable. He shot back up from his chair like a jack-in-the-box and let out semi-muted yelp! I laughed so hard I let out a snort... while tying my shoes, of course.
He then walked to the back and plucked the tie tack from his arse and then walked out to his family's work van and took to my tie tack with a pair of pliers. Then he came back in and dropped the pieces of my tie tack on my Bible.
An older crazy sister used to bring random stuff to scratch her back. One time she pulled out, like, a big spaghetti spoon and shoved it down between her shoulder blades and went to town. That was funny enough as it was (and gross). But then the next meeting I thought it'd be funny to bring a new utensil. So I snagged a spatula from our kitchen and put it in my bag. I waited til the song (cuz I knew it'd kill us both) and when he reached down to put away his books I yanked out the spatula and flipped his song book over like pancake and slipped the spatula back into my bookbag like it was standard practice. Unfortunately, my aunt found out and I got in hot water from my mom.
One time when we were in a particularly tiny hall (it was PACKED), we had to sit on the front row, directly ahead of the podium. Of course, you could touch the stage with your toe, too. Anyways, my older cousin was sitting with us and he was the serious one, but had a wicked comic side. So we're sitting there barely keeping it together when one of us drops a pen on the floor. It fell near the foot of my oldest cousin and we were already giggling but when we saw that we tried to straighten up. So he reaches down slowly to get the pen... and proceeds to set it on the stage, two feet from the podium legs! After that, me and my young cousin were tying our shoes for like 15 minutes after that, shoulders bouncing from laughter the whole time.
Another meeting, we got separated and he sat behind me. I thought it would be funny to slip my mini-bible through the crack in the back of my chair but hold on to the string-place marker as it fell through. It worked great, and I made my Bible swing back and forth like a pendulum. It cracked my cousin up but then I couldn't pull my Bible back through, which cracked us up even more. So he pulled out his pocket knife and went to cut the string... but I let go before he could do it. Then he held my Bible hostage the rest of the meeting.

Oh, good, I was talkin about me but now that I know I'm not alone, it's okay.
Look, this can be therapeutic and it stimulates the mind more than watching the tele, right? That's how I'll justify it. Frickin cognitive bias.

What does it tell you when members of the day shift spill over into the night shift?

At least I don't spam all timezones.
Clever. I don't know what that means but it's fun to say.
It really makes me wonder about those on the day crew who have jobs. When do they actually work???
When I get around to it, dammit. These Bible debates aren't going to argue themselves.
