  barb anderson's memories of max larson.

  theres much to be remembered about max larson, but for me, there were two things that i remember the mostthe wonderful timbre of his speaking voice and his strange-looking, very long eyebrow hairs that grew every which way.

  JW's and music

  by Pink Floyd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i really resent the fact that the wt looked down upon alot of music.

  rap was considered violent.

  heavy metal was satanic.

  Your not the only one, so dont feel alone ;)

  I missed out on my prom growing up, really enjoying being a teenager, instead, I was constantly afraid, fearful, etc. Of course, you had 'the backsliders' at the hall who acted like JW's, but who were doing 'wordly' stuff, just like the doomed worldly kids were doing. Then they would act holier then thou once they got to the KH. I couldnt stand it, because I beat myself up growing up, trying to do things 'Jehovah's way' And I wasnt even baptized.

  Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands by the way ;)

  2. experiences

  i called my sister today and they said "we were shunned today.

  " normally this is a bit of a non event after all how many faders get shunned on a regular basis.

  i asked who it was and they said "big sis" now this is a shock.

  Sorry about that Nugget. The only thing that we can hope is that JW's will finally come to their senses and see this so called religion for it truly is....A CULT!

  How old is the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  by mankkeli in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is taken from the reasoning book, page 199.. .

  "according to the bible, the line of witnesses of jehovah reaches back to faithful abel.

  hebrews 11:412:1 says: by faith abel offered god a sacrifice of greater worth than cain .

  Jehovah's Witnesses were born in 1931 so its only 80 years old.

  But according to JW's they've been around since 1879. But thats not true.

  The watctower has been around since 1879 NOT Jehovah's Witnesses.

  Happy Birthday to you Aussie. I know; I didnt really do anything for mines this year, either. I took the day off, enjoyed my own company, watched movies, and drank wine. Sometimes you can be your own best company ;)

  by Quarterback in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just looked over some of the charities that exist as non profit organizations.. what surprised me was that wicca is also recognized there as a non profit status.

  could the wts really lose this status?

  One could only hope. I'll do a big celebration dance when they do.

  But I dont see that happening. The public and gov't just has too much sensitivity when it comes to religion and God.

  I kinda didnt think I was gonna live forever growing up. But sometimes I thought we were; I didnt think my mind could comprehend living forever, so I thought it was something I wasnt going to fully understand until it happend. But then, I discovered science. From a science standpoint, people cannot live forever. But according to my ubber dub mom, Jehovah can change science. WTF?

  I think that he had something to do with it. Manslauter charges should be issued at least.

  From what I heard, MJ had problems sleeping since he was a little boy, Joseph Jackson did some crazy stuff to him when he was little.

  The constant touring, lack of sleep, is probably why MJ restorted to using sleep pills in his final years.
