some folks i work with asked if i'm a witness.
i told them i'm 'not active'.
they said "you have a choice?".
Yep, word is spreading alright........I've talked to alot of people about the pedophile problem and "worldly" people now think that the JWs are a million times worse than what they thought before.......
Hey, I wonder if we can count all this time that we spend telling everyone the real truth, on the Field Service reports!!
Hours Apostate Tracts Apostate Books Apostate Booklets Return Visits Apostate Web Sites
6 1,000 25 25 50 500
And then send them in to your local congregation!!! LOL!!
yeah, you heard me.
the meetings are too darn much like having an enima to even bother to go anymore.
i get the same message from only attending about 8 meetings a year to hold me over.
Yep, WC's right........they're like fleet enemas........if you don't come out on your own, they'll MAKE you come out!!
i thought it would be fun to start a thread with recipes that we can share with each other.
i love baking for the holidays, and i'd really like to see what everyone else bakes, and share my favorite recipes too.
love, scully.
What the hell is a sheeps pluck???
I've heard of haggis before..........eeeewwwww yuk!! How can anyone actually eat this??!!! Reminds me of that song we learned as kids:
Great green gobs of gooey, gushy gophers guts;
Iscolated monkey's feet
Crushed up birdy beak
Great green gobs of gooey gushy gophers guts, without a spoon yum,yum........

an interesting column from the ayn rand institute concerning the recent world beauty contest in nigeria.. http://www.aynrand.org/medialink/columns/rt112702.shtml.
one paragraph stood out:.
"but the most revealing element of this islamic attack was a slogan chanted by rioters: "down with beauty.
expadbrit said: It should be noted that it was not just Muslims taking part in the riots, but Christians too. They were responding to provocation and violence by Muslims, granted, but nevertheless they still took part....."
Geeze, I guess the Christians should've just STOOD THERE, like a bunch of idiots and then the Muslims slaughter them all to death eh? Don't try to shift the blame for the riot on to the Christians, because it wasn't the Christians that started the riot in the first place, it was the Muslims, end of story.
".....As for Islam rejecting beauty, you only have to visit an Islamic country to see that this isn't the case. While Islam frowns upon representations of living creatures in art, their geometric designs and patterns on buildings and in furnishings are of the highest beauty. To take a slogan chanted by inflamed extremists and apply it in blanket fashion to hundreds of millions of people in more than twenty countries is a terribly inaccurate generalisation....."
LOL! You've GOT to be kidding??!! Tell you what; why don't you go take a vacation over to Iran or Iraq, dressed in western clothing complete with make-up on and see how much they enjoy a woman's beauty.......email us from prison and tell us how many years they gave you.........
"If Islam is a religion of peace", asked the article, "then why is Islam accompanied by force and terror everywhere it predominates?" The answer is that it is not accompanied by force and terror everywhere it predominates.
Ya right......I guess everyone is just mis-interpreting the 150 references in the Koran promoting death to all "infidels"........it's really a religion of peace!!
In addition, one could turn around and ask exactly the same question of Christianity, and get the same answers.
Gee, last time I checked, none of the terrorists from September 11th or any of the suicide bombers that never seem to quit, were Christians, they were ALL MUSLIMS.

OK, here's a recipe I invented myself.......I don't generally measure things out, but I'll try to for this one. It's Trifle, and it's absolutely, scrum-diddly-isious!!
---------------------
1 chocolate cake mix
kaluha
strawberries, raspberries, soaked in Grand Marnier
2 or 3 bananas
1 package chocolate pudding, prepared
1 package banana pudding mix, prepared
whipping cream.
Big round bowl.
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to directions. Use the round pans. When it's cooled, brush it generously with Kaluha or any other chocolate liqueur. Slice each cake horizontally, so you have four thin cakes.
Put one layer of cake in the bottom of a glass round bowl. Next, strawberries and raspberries, then another layer of cake, then the chocolate pudding mixture. Add another layer of cake, and put the banana pudding mixture. Slice the bananas and layer them on top of the pudding. Put the final layer of cake over top, brush some more kaluha on it, and add whipping cream to the top.
Let it set for about an hour before serving...........it is yummy, yummy, yummy, if I do say so myself, and I've had lots of compliments on it.
* I always buy either Sherriff's or Jello COOKED pudding packages. It's a bit more work, cooking it, but the pudding tastes so much better than using the instant pudding, it's well worth it.

"but the most revealing element of this islamic attack was a slogan chanted by rioters: "down with beauty.
These wacko men have a real problem with beauty and that's part of their f*cked up culture.........I asked one Muslim man at work why they make their women wear those head-to-toe robes. This guy is no fanatic, but his answer was simple. He said "Over here in North America, you are judged by your physical appearance. It's more or less a 'point of honor' with Muslim women to wear these things, just to show that it's not the physical appearance that matters, it's the inner beauty that matters."
Ya, right.......it's just another control factor that the men use over their women. The women aren't allowed to show their faces, their hair or any other body part in public, lest you be stoned to death for offending "Allah"............I didn't realize that Nigeria was also full of fanatical Muslims until the pagent riot happened.........this is what happens when you have a bunch of ignorant, uneducated wackos running around.......and it'll happen again, sooner, I think, than what we're prepared for.
I sincerely doubt though that Mohammed would have chosen any of the beauty pagent contestants......they were all in their 20s.....about 10 - 15 years too old for him............

.
so this morning at around 5am, my girlfriend and i were driving in north fresno and we noticed that there are two huge christmastree like trees in front of the hall, outside of the oh-so-welcoming gates... and so i got to thinking... and... hmm.... should i???
in the words of ts eliot, "do i dare disturb the universe?".
Not only should you decorate the trees, you you should put a Manger Scene out front one night........steal it from your local Catholic Church if necessary........can you imagine?? Not only would Witnesses be aghast by these "pagan" things out front of the Holy of Holies, but the Catholic Church would have them charged with theft!!!...............heh-heh-heh-heh
i thought it would be fun to do this.
anybody can post a lyric from a recorded song.
we have 5 "post-chances" to guess the song.
Here's one! I bet you'll never guess what song it is:
".....with everlasting good news high amid the skys...."
hey everyone,.
i just wanted to let you know that we have a disassociated jw who is about to die from ovarian cancer.
the cancer spread because she would not take a blood transfusion during an operation that attempted to contain the cancer while she was a jw.
I feel really awful that this poor woman has ovarian cancer, but refusing a blood transfusion would only affect her if she needed blood during surgery. (this was my case with uterine cancer)......ovarian cancer is unfortunately, very aggressive but to me, it is not automatically a death sentence.
If the doctors have given up on her, I would strongly recommend she try alternative treatment. Below are a few links that gives testimony from people who were deemed "terminal" and only given a short amount of time to live. They took matters in to their own hands and are alive years later.

Oh my god.......that is so sick and so sad I feel like throwing up........ what a totally sick, twisted, disgusting PIG son of a bitch could not only molest his children, but then actually kill the evidence.
This guy doesn't belong in prison, he belongs six feet under..........after he's had his dick chopped off.
