  Jeckle! Have one on me! My all-time favorite band! I was really born in the wrong decade.

  It's the naughty, rebellious, sexy, satanic. As soon as I got df'd, I hooked up with a dirty hippie that played in a metal band-- been with him ever since!

  ...those days of tacit acceptance may soon be over, however.

  lawmakers in tehran have recently proposed a bill in parliament that would criminalize dog ownership, formally enshrining its punishment within the country's islamic penal code.

  Did you watch R rated movies when you were in it?

  last night, i watched an r rated movie that featured violence.

  at least 30 people were shot in the first 45 min of the movie.. while i was in and an elder, i watched r rated movies all the time just didn't talk about it.

  so how many of you watched r rated movies even though "mother" said not to?.

  Of course I did. Every chance I got. Even wore my mom down to rent them for us sometimes when my dad was at elders' meetings. I begged my parents to let me see Sybil and they watched it with me, I can't remember if that's rated R though. I wish I'd never watched that though, some of those scenes still flash in my head sometimes, disturbing. I remember watching Silence of the Lambs and the Shining with my parents too. All of us kids loved LOTR and the Hobbit, so mom took us to see every one of those at the theatre. It was when they started denouncing movies like that in talks and assemblies, I started thinking this was all bullshit and wanting out. Ridiculous, those movies were no more demonic than Disney movies, guess the cartoon format makes it more innocent. I'd say most r&f watch whatever they want, they just don't talk about it.

  July 15th WT out - Coming out Swinging at Apostates Hard

  by LostGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one of the most aggressive watchtowers i think i have ever read.. four study articles on not "following the crowd" not following unrealities(page 13) not following false teachers, meaning apostates of course(p 15).

  avoiding false teachers means "refusing to read their literature, watch tv programs that feature them, examine their web sites, or add comments to their blogs.

  (para 7, pg 16).

  Would it not be interesting if the final version of the July 15th WT was different?

  That would be interesting. Some halls print off the pdfs for people who don't get ordered copies.

  Jam,

  I've got three friends that quit with chantix and are still quit years later. It's expensive though, unless your insurance covers it. Someone else I know quit by carrying a bag of carrot sticks around with them, almost like a cig but healthier.

  My new year's resolution was to quit, I lasted 5 whole days. I'm proud of that since it was my first try, I didn't use any replacement though. My next plan is to start with the patch and walk, do yoga, or drink water until a craving passes. I seriously can't afford these anymore either. And I tried to go jogging this morning, lasted about a minute before I had to walk. I'm 25! I am so out of shape, it's pathetic.

  We beat the WT cult, surely we can beat this.

  one of the most famous photographs taken by the late charles c ebbets showed workmen casually eating lunch on the 69th floor of the ge building during the contruction of rockefeller center.

  this photo was taken 76 years ago, in the summer of 1932. a lot has changed since then.

  many of the buildings you see below don't exist anymore.

  by VM44 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the watchtower published a controversial article in the 1920s entitled "birth of a nation.

  " this article published for the first time the belief now held by the jehovah's witnesses that god's kingdom was established in the heavens in the years 1914/18.

  does anyone know if this article is on the internet somewhere?
