Easy Rider bored me to tears. I think partially because I'm not interested in America or it's culture. Most of my choices are therefore more Brit based because I relate to that.

Films from the 60s I love and watch over and over...in no particular order...

The Time Machine

Up the Junction

the Devil Rides Out

Quatermass and the Pit

The Hammer Dracula filmsI

The Cushing Dalek films...good fun

casa pendejos.

need signs along the way..

so, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.

literal meaning: bury yourself.

"go and bury yourself".

What are the maim lies Apostates tell about Jehovah's Witnesses?

by Vanderhoven7 in

main not maim.

picked this answer up on quora.

please add other apostate "lies" you are aware of.. "jehovah's witnesses cannot refute the facts in the so-called “ lies” against them, and when they do, they shamelessly lie and tell half-truths to defend their mind-controlling sect.. their new york based leaders tell them that anything negative said about their sect is a “ lie “ from “ mentally diseased, bitter apostates”.. jws are yet to come to terms with the fact that we are in the information age and they can no longer get away with lying to protect their organisation.. for example, one of the “ lies “ told about them is that they shun anyone who leaves the cult , including family members, including their own children.. another “ lie “ is that jws are ready to allow their children to die rather than accept a life-saving blood transfusion.. the child sex abuse coverup in the cult is also said to be a “lie “.

Let's be honest. The Jobots need we 'mentally diseased apostates(tm)' so that they can have an imaginary enemy to fight in their fantasy land.

Who else can they fight that's tangible?

One of the big Apostate "lies" is that Jehovah's Witnesses don't help the poor.

Let's put it this way, when I started attending a Baptist church (it felt like home), I joined the 'soup kitchen'. This meant that we prepared food and drinks and took them to a car park in a van.I felt like I was actually doing the 'Lord's work' because I was in that mindset.

My then JW wife, who left because I became a Baptist, said, "Those people don't need food, they need the Watchtower and Awake!"

Jaw dropping comment. It shows the mentality of not wanting to give practical help. I was shocked by her response. Oh, well, she married another Jobot now, so good riddance to bad rubbish.

There you go, Vandy, my old friend. JW propaganda 101.

It reminds me of....which doesn't mean I believe the Bible...but JWs should

Isaiah 5:20 ESV

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Proverbs 17:15 ESV

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord.

Demons. Afraid or not?

by punkofnice in

when i was a jobot i had the fear of demons rammed down my throat.. now i am without any faith, i don't have that fear because it seems irrational.

a fairy tale from the minds of some weirdo.. now i don't have to worry about buying stuff 2nd hand.. it always amused me how some jobots would pooh pooh charity (goodwill to my american cousins), shops or 2nd hand shops in case demons inhabited a jumper or a chest of drawers.

yet at the same time they'd buy a 2nd hand car.

LUHE - But I'd never play a Ouija board or anything like that.

I wouldn't bother for a different reason. Mainly, because it's all make belief and 'woo'.

I'll watch horror films but feel I've been cheated of a good plot twist when everyone dies in the end.
