Yes, I'm sure the Parker Bros have developed a device that allows us to talk to dead people. Makes sense.

i typed in my name, password and the captcha, expecting to see my name come up in the top right corner and what i actually saw was someone else's name!
(the name was another member of this board).
i looked at it for a few seconds feeling a bit puzzled and not sure what to do about it and as i looked it automatically changed (whithout me doing anything) back to my own name.. has anyone else had this happen to them?
Thank your lucky stars you didn't have to be me.
i sat in the community garden tonight and talked with one of my neighbors, an old lady in an electric wheelchair.
she was telling me she won't be able to garden next year, it's getting to hard for her since her stroke.
so we talked about her stroke.
Thinking about the movie Signs. The implication in that movie seems to be everything happens for a reason, because God made it so. So God gave his son asthma, killed his wife, made his daughter severely OCD so that they could defeat a single alien years later to help him restore his faith. Boy, you'd think a god who had all that planned out could have made aliens not come to earth and not have his wife die and him lose his faith in the first place. The implication in the movie, is the same that goes through the mind of many religious people today. God is helping them when things go their way... but that same god can't do something in a simple way to fix the problems of someone who really needs help.
jehovahtm is so benevolent and wonderfully merciful.
so much so he kills children without so much as a by your leave.. .
jehovahtm is surely the greater child abuser.
Amazingly thickheaded for people to 100% believe in certain parts of the bible as absolute truth without any sort of doubt or questioning, while at the same time saying parts of the bible they don't like aren't truthful.
we all remember this passage vividly: from there elisha went up to bethel.
while he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him.
"go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!
They included a mention of that story in one of the dramas several years back. Really a horrifying account.
i keep seeing people on here (and other places) talk about the wbts making money .
.
sorry if it should be obvious!.
GB's gotta keep the cash rolling in so they can go on their lavish vacations and be taken care of for the rest of their lives. If the WT goes under, so do they.
for anybody attending a international convention .. 5 body of elders letters just leaked .
"applicant instructions".. ********************.
applicants must be exemplary in every respect, including dress and grooming.
Here's a thing I don't get about this most of all. People will come to international conventions in all sorts of outfits from their native land. Why is wearing blue jeans when out after the convention such a big deal?

They didn't want us to wear blue jeans when I went to the International Convention back in 2009.
i always was a critical jw, now df and agnost.
but still this religion fascinates me.
in my eyes most jw are very sincere, but dumb sheep.. this board is filled with ex-jw.
Why shouldn't we have bitter feelings towards this cult that took so much from us? Our "bitterness" on these boards have helped many doubting JW's to walk away from the religion.
<rant>.
i know i have been rambling alot (feel free to delete my threads if so), but it appeas i am getting to the point where i see no use in the bible.
i feel very bad about this right now.
Sounds like you are using your brain. Good for you. All of this will become clearer to you as time moves along.
