  So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?

  by Mary in

  ok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.

  if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?

  other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

  Just why did He create Mosquitoes?

  by jean-luc picard in

  so if blood is so precious in gods sight, just why did he create mosquitoes?.

  or did they used to drink orange juice in the past?.

  and if you feel up to it, here's a load of other blood sucking creatures that are living on you, every day.. .

  ...and further to what Brother Minimus just said, I believe that mosquitos only suck fractions of blood out of us. And that's approved by Jehover.

  BANNED words in the Education System (eye opening!)

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  new york (cbsnewyork) george carlin is rolling over in his grave.. the new york city department of education is waging a war on words of sorts, and is seeking to have words they deem upsetting removed from standardized tests.. marla diamond talks to walcott, student about banned words.

  fearing that certain words and topics can make students feel unpleasant, officials are requesting 50 or so words be removed from city-issued tests.. the word dinosaur made the hit list because dinosaurs suggest evolution which creationists might not like, wcbs 880s marla diamond reported.

  halloween is targeted because it suggests paganism; a birthday might not be happy to all because it isnt celebrated by jehovahs witnesses.. julie lewis family celebrates christmas and kwanzaa, but she told cbs 2s emily smith she wants her children to appreciate and learn about other holidays and celebrations.. theyre going to meet people from all walks of life and theyre going to have to learn to adjust, lewis said.. words that suggest wealth are excluded because they could make kids jealous.

  I'm not sure which is more bizarre: The list of everyday words they want to ban, or WTWizard's anti-Semetic rant. Did you forget to take your meds today WT?

  Do demons really exist?

  by Inisc in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i mean, is there really any scientific evidence to support their existence?.

  is it used as a scare tactic of thewts?.

  and i suppose if one doesn't believe in god, a belief in satan and demons and angels for that matter would be contradictory... im not sure what i believe now but would love to hear everyone's thoughts..

  unshackled said: No, they don't, because they don't exist. But my older brother does. That sumbitch.

  Oh lordie, unshackled. That brings back a memory or 2. When I was about 15, and my younger brothers about 9 and 11, I thought I'd scare the be-jezus out of them one night. They had gone to bed (they had bunk beds) but naturally were talking, talking talking. We lived by the railroad, so I decided to crawl into their bedroom, but I could only do it when the trains went by, so that my brothers couldn't hear me. Took about 15 minutes. Anyway, I get to the end of the bed and I pull the covers a bit. I hear my youngest brother say "Get lost Tom!" thinking it was his brother doing it. He hears Tommy from above say "What?" I then yanked the covers hard and my youngest brother went flying out of bed and went tearing into the living room where he started yelling "mom, the demons are pulling my covers off!"

  I had planned to get up and go in the bathroom, but I was laughing so hard I couldn't move. Mom and my brother come back in the bedroom, mom puts the light on and there is me at the end of the bed laughing my bloody head off.

  So, no. No demons in that scenario. But I belive there is the possibility that they do exist.

  Why Elders leave the Organization and why their Wives stay.

  by stuckinamovement in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have talked to quite a few brothers who have served as elders and servants and left the organization.

  in most cases their wives have remained in despite the husbands best efforts to persuade his wife that the organization is wrong.

  even though the wife can see problems within they continue to press on in service to the society.

  Blondie said: Maybe a woman's social life in the Borg keeps her there. I may have a prejudice but I find that many men in the Borg, don't care as much and readily find new friends.

  Bingo. The vast majority of sisters have never worked outside the home and women are generally far more concerned with the social aspect of the congregation then what their hubbies are. Therefore if the husband tries talking to them about some of the doctrines, the wife might initially listen but as soon as it contradicts what she's read in the WT, the warning signs go off because she does not want anything as threatening as 'apostasy' penetrating her social life so she declares "I don't want to talk about that." She's got her parents, her siblings, her children and alot of life-long friends in this religion. If she were to leave, she's have nothing except being labelled as an "apostate" and she's not prepared to do that.
