Silly things I wondered as a kid

if god is like a loving father why did he set up a way for adam and eve to possibly fail by putting the "magic tree" in the garden?

if my dad sabotaged his kids this way or felt the need to test our love him he'd be considered an abusive father.. when god put an angel with a spinning sword in front of the entrance to the garden why didn't a&e walk a few miles down from there and climb over the wall ?

was there a wall ?.

The Invention of Lying

i just watched this movie on video this weekend.

always meant to see it and just got around to it.

it was a brilliant movie, but not at all what i was expecting.. it's a story of a man who lives in a world where everyone says what is on their mind all the time, to the point of brutal honesty (no, i am not sleeping with you.").

Very Shocking, Damned News: Watchtower Reports to UN Agency

dated august 26, 2009, from the watchtower through the european association of jehovahs christian witnesses, the organization shamelessly reports its contribution to the report of the u.n. high commissioner for human rights on the implementation of the new review mechanism of the human rights council, established by ga resolution 60/251 and by the human rights council in resolution 5/1 of 18 june 2007 for the 7th session 2010. please, see the full link to the report below.. http://lib.ohchr.org/hrbodies/upr/documents/session7/eg/eajcw_upr_egy_s07_2010_theeuropeanassociationofjehovahschristianwitnesses.pdf.

please, bring up new questions based on this report.

for a start, here is one question from my side.. 1) is the watchtower as a religious agency, constitutionally obliged to report to the un, the 'disgusting thing that cause desolation' and 'is under satan'?.

what about the responsibility of being an elder did you dislike the most?

i served from september 2003 - june 2006. there were two things that bugged me the most the first was i got sick of the bickering amongst the body.

we had 7 elders and in nearly every situation, big or small, there was some division that got personal.

i just finished watching martha stewart and after it went off there was a set of commercials before the news came on and i swear i just saw a commercial from the christian congregation of jehovahs' witnesses!.

it was about raising your children with knowledge and love.

it showed a teen girl on the internet in a chat room with a person who had become her best friend and wanted to meet her in person and they said something like if it seems too good to be true it is..'love builds happy familys' was the slogan or something.. .

JW strangers say mean things to you at assemblies?
by jwbot in
1. jw
2. friends
jw's can be rotten, but what about the "brutally honest" jw strangers at assemblies?

i have had some issues with the general meaness jw's are to people that they do not even know, and are jw's.. example 1: i was maybe 13 years old and i was a fast developer, i had big boobs basically.

well a dress i had was really nice...my parents would not have let me wear something that was not apprepriate for me, but i guess the dress was low (i didn't think so) and when i was in the bathroom at the assembly at the mirror, a woman just came up to me and was like "you are showing all the assets you have to offer" or something to that effect.

Most hated Rules and Regulations
by Bendrr in
1. jw
2. friends
the thread about "clinking" got me to thinking.. what were the rules you hated most?

rules that were just so boneheaded as to be infuriating.. there are so many rules and regulations to follow as a dub.

some rules may not even be able to be referenced in the publications, at least not firmly and clearly.
