Hey Teejay,
:Especially liked the olive branch you extended to all the fluffers out there. A stroke of genius.
LOL Thanks! I know better than to draw their fire!! It is good for one to know one's limitiations, I know mine.
Glad you enjoyed the post.
Julie
P.S. Teejay, here is Amazing's rebuttal, he made it a seperate post but unfortunately it was what got buried, not this one, so many probably missed it: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=18254&site=3

ROFL--You're quite the comedien today, eh Teejay? Ok, I'll play along....
:Compared to Amnesian, you're just a warm, fuzzy-wuzzy teddy bear with a cute nose.
You got that right. You will want to remember that. Better warn Big and Bear, while you might escape a parapalegic, I don't think they'd see the light of day again....not that I care....
:You know what I'm-a do? I'm gonna buddy-up with Sister Amnesian and get her to kick your butt so you'll stop pickin' on me. How's that?!!!
LOL I say "Rots of Ruck". You may have made pals with Wendy but I think Amnesian is no Wendy (who herself admits to being too much of a softie). But hey, if you've got a thing about unachievable goals, who am I to discourage? (Besides what would your other tag-team members say? )
Regards,
Julie, who is wondering if someone slipped her a mickey or something with all this palling around with Teejay and crew today.....*looks around suspiciously*

Geez Msil, who set your pants on fire? Why are you so bent out of shape over this? Amazing's a big boy, he can certainly handle himself. Besides, you really do Amnesian a discredit here. She went to great lengths (literally) to be diplomatic with Amazing. Most here, myself included, would not likely have gone to so much trouble if so irritated. As to the analysis thing, it's called "rebuttal". You know, here's your words <insert words> now here are mine <insert reply> sort of thing. It's how you have a conversation in writing, over a long period of time. (Of course this often results in one's words coming back to haunt them but that is one way to learn caution, or at least pause-first, eh?)
Relax. Besides, this Amnesian looks to be a big-league player, don't you think it would be very interesting to see discussion between these two? I do. Unless of course maybe you fear the outcome? Could be, don't know....on the one hand you claim great faith in your friend and his abilities etc. but then again....this longer post of your looks like you are running around with a hunter orange poncho on screaming "No!! Shoot at me instead!!!!"......hard to say....the whole two-message message thing, almost always hard to decipher the *real* message........
Much rather see debate between these two than read some of the nonsense we get so much of, (Fluffers--you know I love ya but the heavy stuff is good once in a while, eh?)--
Regards to all, (your friend will be fine Msil--you are a good and loyal friend btw--)

No you're right bear-man. She didn't call him a "moron" she certainly made it clear thought Even Worse of Amazing. She is obviously willing to go to the trouble to be much more diplomatic about it. I am far too lazy to do so 99% of the time.
Point happily conceded.

Teejay,
I don't think Amnesian's angry and if you are smart you won't make her that way. She looks like she could make you well acquainted with pain I've never even come close to inflicting on you.
Amnesian, you're a credit to your gender.
Regards to all,

look at the page numbers just above the main board frame, this is 665, the next is >>666, i wonder whos going tip this page over the edge, place your bets now, jw?
ex jw?.
ummmmmmmmmmmm..... celtic
Hi Celtic,
You're not *really* superstitious are you??
Regards,
Julie
anyone know this jw yahoo, tommy fasano?
is he "special"?
opinions: .
Forgive me if I don't swoon over this magnificent tolerance:
:Tommy Fasano, a Jehovah's Witness in California, is a strong religious believer, but not an absolutist. He told Wolfe, "I am not here to judge anyone."
ROFL!!! Doesn't just about every religion in the world preach that it is not man who judges but (insert god-of-choice)??? Don't we all know that secretly many religions/denominations/sects encourage judgementalism though???
Everyone likes to think of themselves as non-judgemental but it is human nature. Throw religion into the mix and it is unavoidable.
Funny how this guy "chosen to exemplify new religious tolerance" comes from one of the worst of all. Asking this guy or any JW in "good standing" with the borg about such an issue is really absurd too, obviously Mr. Yount doesn't realize that Mr. Fasano belongs to one of the more seriously judgemental religions/sects. They seem to judge each other the harshest too, oddly enough.

i cannot remember the exact date of when the "society" once again attempted to fulfill revelation 22:18, 19 (and succeeded) with this teaching (i truthfully do not think of them very often anymore), but i am compelled by the spirit of my father, the holy one of israel, jah of armies, holy spirit, that is in me by means of my lord, his son, jaheshua mischajah, to point out yet another 'error'.. some time ago, the "society" taught a 'change' in the meaning of the words at luke 2:14. to wit, they said (and, thus, so does the nwt), that the true wording is:.
"glory in the heights above to god, and upon earth peace.
peace among men of good will.".
Hi Shelby,
You said:
... the BIBLE... is NOT God's "Word"!
There is another thing we can agree on.
On this whole hearing thing, as I was reading your words I will tell you what occured to me: When I was a child I saw things, things I *knew* were wrong but could not do anything about it. One would think a child would learn such behaviors and not *know* them to be wrong but I always did, for some reason.
I still have that inner "child" voice that tells me when something's just Wrong and I listen to it. Have regretted deeply any time I haven't, never once regretted listneing to it. It kept me out of the WT, there is one example. I just knew something was fishy about what they were selling.
I guess you and I have reached our certain levels of contentment regarding our spirituality and "voices" and have just landed in places where we see the source differently. Interesting though.
Regards and thanks for your explanations Shelby,
Julie
the ageold question that i'm sure we have all given some degree of thought to...what is the purpose of life?
anyone have a theory/opinion they would like to share?.
my personal opinion on this is not solid enough yet to be considered a belief.
My but we have much reflection on purpose etc. going on these days. I am pasting here my answer to another thread talking about our "purpose":
This whole purpose-of-life thing. So simple yet the simple answer can be hard to swallow. Especially coming from a save-yourself-screw-everyone-else mindset such as Christianity can be.
Ready? Here's your answer:
To contribute to the Greater Good.
Yes, that is why we are here. We are all tiny little specks that make up a big picture. Each a tiny cog in a huge machine. Each cog has it's own individual merits and imperfections yet can make huge contributions to the Greater Good. Not only is it our purpose, it is the only way to achieve the immortality so many covet so deeply their entire lives.
The hardest thing about accepting such an answer is the mistaken notion that we must sacrifice our individuality or personal worth to be a part of this grand picture. Nothing could be more wrong. It is our individuality and personal worth that makes us valuable "cogs" in the whole machine to begin with.
