they've made a mockery of the teachings of jesus of nazareth.. syl.
YKnot's thread about the notation to the KS book just simply infuriated me!
I missed that one.....can someone provide a link?
Plus I'd have to agree with PSacramento----please don't insult clueless buffoons by comparing them to the Craptower Society.
did anyone hear the part from the recording of the last 6 screens conference call where johnny talked about a brother being "effeminate?
" johnny mentioned that he refers to this brother as "sister.

Curious Butterfly said: If I take a poll of my friends that are active JWs and not on JWN etc. I can confidently say at least 80% are not homophobic and if gay slurs are said from the stage people in my area are humming about it and not happy.
I find that incredibly difficult to believe. Active JWs are taught from birth to have a strong aversion to homosexuals. It's taught in the literature and it's preached from the platform. So I would venture to say that either:
I would tend to agree with Judge Dread on his point that most Witnesses are not afraid of homosexuals----they simply do not agree with the lifestyle and are taught that it is a sin.

i read a brief muslim apologia piece on this and found it to be weak.
if these numbers are really true, it is shocking.
I remember going to a family reunion over in Bufffalo, NY about 12 or 13 years ago. One of my 'cousins' (whom I had never met before) was there and damn was he gorgeous! We were trying to figure out how we were related and it turned out that my mother and his mother were first cousins....so I guess that made us second cousins? Anyway, we both decided it was a little to close for comfort to pursue anything.
I think continual 'inbreeding' in any culture eventually becomes a problem. Around here there's alot of Old Order Amish & Mennonites where first cousins marry and believe me, it's starting to show.
One thing about being a Witness: at least they have cars and assemblies so you can meet other Dubs that you're not related to.
i think us gun laws are s-t-u-p-i-d ... and the legal system more so.
saw a very good suggestion yesterday though - force people who want to own a gun to require insurance (hey, you have to have it for a vehicle for gods sake).
single-shot hunting rifle?
On the question of purchasing guns in the States: How did Jared Lee Loughner manage to purchase his weapon and ammo with absolutely no problem? Did he have a Permit?

I don't see anything disgusting there. Do you eat meat?
Maybe you don't but what was the purpose of you showing a poor dead deer that had been shot? Just to prove that it's your "god-given Right" to do so? You compared it to being as "natural as taking a crap in the woods"----do you also plan on posting pictures of that as well?
Yes I eat meat. I also go to the bathroom. Doesn't mean that we need to see pictures of either.
just heard from a friend that a nearby body of elders in their congregation have decided that anybody who is on facebook will not be able to have privleges in their congregation.. hilarious!.

-mf31-.
They'll change their minds quick enough when they're down to 2 elders and 1 MS.
Idiots.
this subject thread has been on my mind for a while, especially after seeing "zombieland" and foodall's thread about our possible ufo/reptilian over lords/realion/alien invaders.
when the great day of reckoning comes, whether it be from ufo alien invaders, realian reptilian over lords, demons in human-hybrid form, or just plain old virus-infected zombies, what will you be carrying to defend yourself from the hostile forces of e-vile?
please, no one say a "bible" or i'm going to just laugh my ass off.
Ah, Outlaw......we gotta show how you really win a fight with Reptillian overlords.......Now---once they fill up on KFC and Canadian beer, you offer them some pure Canadian Maple Syrup (which no living creature can resist) or some poutine, which is totally yumilicious!! Soon, they'll be so damn full they'll forget all about enslaving us.
please read and i will tell you now this was it was like for me !.
kingdom halls are a hellish memory for me.
i grew up as a jehovah's witness from the age of 9 until i fought my way to freedom at age 18. i recall children as young as a year old being beaten repeatedly for not sitting still during services...some sessions, called assemblies, were 6 hours long and lasted for 3-5 days in succession.. my nephew was one of many who felt the literal sting of the watchtower's stance of "spare the rod, spoil the child.
Doubtfully Yours said: A good swat in the butt for misbehaving is NOT child abuse; such form of discipline never killed anyone. It teaches respect, discipline and self-control.
How about a great big slap on your stupid face just because....well, you're an idiot? Would you consider that abuse?
2 meetings each week of 1:45 mins long, give me a break, children in time learn to behave and pay attention.
In case you're too stupid to realize it, to a 3 year old child, 2 hours of sitting straight in a chair when you do not understand anything that's being said, would be like you or me having to sit perfectly still for 6 or 7 hours listening to someone preaching in a foreign language. How long do you think you'd be able to sit there before you started figgeting DY? Should you then be dragged to the bathroom for some whacking on your bare ass with a belt because you were growing bored?
Do you ever think before you write? Oh I forgot----you left your brain at the doorstep to the Kingdumb Hall.

BTS, do you really feel it's necessary to post such disgusting pictures? Would you like it if someone shot a dog, then posed in front of it with their 3 year smiling? Good lord.
