  JW tour bus crashes in Florida, with fatalities-

  miami - a bus carrying 32 members of a church group hit a concrete overpass at miami international airport after the driver got lost, killing two elderly people on board and leaving three others critically injured, officials said saturday.. the large, white bus was too tall for the 8-foot-6-inch entrance to the arrivals area, said airport spokesman greg chin.

  buses are supposed to go through the departures area, which has a higher ceiling, he said.. chin said the passengers told him they were part of a group of jehovah's witnesses headed to west palm beach.

  police said in a news release that the group had chartered the bus to take them to a church convention there-.

  Malsonilla, I know it is fun to poke fun at the Watchtower but people lost their lives. Try to show a little respect.

  A guy walks past a mental hospital and hears a bunch of people hootin' and hollerin' "13! 13! 13!"

  The man notices a hole in the wall so he decides to peek in and see what the commotion is about. As soon as he puts his eye up the hole he gets poked in the eye. Then the people start shouting "14! 14! 14!"

  here are some things i've done to make christmas more sensible:.

  1. a few years ago i told friends i wasn't going to do presents any more, and asked them not to buy me presents.

  Lock the door, shut the TV off, turn the radio off, grab your shotgun and hide in the corner. Christmas will come for you. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are singing Jingle Bells.

  If there is a creator, will an expanding universe ever become bigger than he?

  by prologos in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible has expressions like: "--god walked in the garden at the breezy part of the day--" .

  but more realisticly, speaking in today's lingo:.

  if, as accepted by consensus, the universe was "smaller" in the past, expanding out of a zero size singularity, it was "smaller" than the "creator"* at that point in time.

  There is a scenario that scientists have played out called the Big Crunch. In this scenario the universe will stop expanding and eventually collapse in on itself. Due to gravity all matter will eventually be pulled into black holes, then the black holes will all fall into one another. My thinking is that this would trigger another big bang and the cycle would continue forever maybe. Then again, I'm no astrophysicist.

  An old Emo Phillips joke (one of my favorites):

  Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

  He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

  He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

  Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

  I told this joke to JW's and they laughed but I think the whole self-application of the joke flew right over their heads.

  It is so sad that people actually want them to teach intelligent design in public schools. Of course, it has to be a certain version of intelligent design. The Christian kind, not the Hindu version because that would just be absurd.

  What was the worst thing an "elder" ever did to you ?

  by Pitchess Co-Gen in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the worst thing an "elder" ever did to me was in 2008. i was in one congregation, but i wanted to return to my home congregation because i've been reproved there twice ( once private and the last one public ).

  when i came into this congregation in 2007 i thought i was going to move up the food chain ( this congregation was full of older people, so i thought i would move up faster ).

  but i got into some trouble in the congregation.

  With the way I left, there wasn't much room for them to play any kind of games with me (besides the annoying judgmental visits). I would say it was approving me as a pioneer as well as ministerial servant and not allowing me to resign on my terms.

  It turned out for the best though only because I worked up the nerve to tell them what was what.

  Definitely nothing terrible, especially compared to some of the stories on here.

  just nothing more than a 'share'..... i was in pittsburgh on business and took a day off and paid a visit to russells grave.. i haven't stopped laughing since.

  i'm worried i'm going to break ribs.. had i seen this as a young kid/adult.....i surely would have thought "wtf???".

  folks...if you ever needed confirmation this whole thing is a laughable cult......make your way to pittsburgh and see chuck's resting spot.......its worth it just get pictures with his pyramid.. lol.

  @wha happened? - Most of the JW's in my congregation knew about Russell's gravesite and the pyramid but those people are from Pittsburgh and our one elder talked about it occasionally.

  On a side note, that elder was one of the most book smart people I ever knew. Just a shame he didn't put the knowledge to better use than being a JW elder. I always loved his talks though. Now that I think about it, they didn't put him on assembly parts very much. I guess because he would get off topic.
