  i really am... just been attacked for posting on a dog rescue picture.

  the dog was in a rta and as i was eating my dinner and couldn't see the pictures, heading or comments regarding the dog properly i posted that it could be ''dog bait injuries''... which in the area i live is a nasty problem which is rearing it's ugly head.

  dogs are being stolen from back gardens to be used as bait.

  N.Drew, at least your cat gives you nice presents. I get mangled dead things, particularly from Nero the Vampire Cat who always shouts the house down when he brings a "guest home for dinner". Maybe it's a comment on my cooking? Do they want me to cook it for them? With fava beans and a nice chianti?

  I overheard two pioneer stormtroopers speculating about this at the hall once. The most positive, imaginative comment was "...maybe there'll be lectures...". That's it? Your idea of paradise is an extended service meeting? If that really is what paradise is like you can shove me back in my box and nail the lid down.

  Husband Down
  A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.
  The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart.
  “What do you think you're doing?” asks the wife.
  “They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans” he replies.
  “Put them back, we can't afford them” demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
  A few aisles further on the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
  “What do you think you're doing?” asks the husband.
  “It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,” replies the wife. Her husband retorts: “So does 24 cans of Budweiser and it's half the price.”
  He never knew what hit him.

  The new writing department of the WTBTS

  by Aussie Oz in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a new writing department in wt land.. us.. think about it, the watchtower/jehovah's witnesses are a reactive 'religion', not a proactive one.. that means of course that they react and modify doctrine, rules and direction in response to what ever may be effecting them.

  probably the last time they were proactive was the 40s and 50s but these days its all about preservation rather than growth.. i am sure that the actual writing department have eyes and ears out in 'aposta land'.

  after all, who discuss and disect the books, magazines and letters more than we do?

  how is this for deceptive writing.

  in the feb 1 2004 watchtower under the title 'how can you satisfy your spiritual needs' the artice gives three examples of professional people who have become witnesses, a doctor, a lawyer and an architect.

  all come complete with two pictures each.

  cuckoo in the nest

  To me it seems the thumbscrews have been applied ever more forcefully over the course of this year. When I first started attending the KH as that lowest form of JW life, a "study", (how I loathe that term, it makes you sound like something to be peered at under a microscope. Actually, that's pretty much how they behaved) they seemed to emphasise positive aspects, the hope of eternal life, paradise Earth etc. But over recent months the tone has turned much darker, much more sinister even.

  Every week has another article full of "thou shalt not". High control piled on high control, ever tightening the thumbscrews on the poor downtrodden mass who can't or won't stop to examine the spiritual salmonella they're being force-fed. How often have they pilloried "entertainment" recently, or tried to beat the internet to death with a big stick? We all know why, it's all about information control. They're scared the poor bloody infantry might start to think for themselves, do their own research and smell what the society is shovelling. The org is running scared, and to maintain it's grip Big Brother has to make the rank and file feel even more scared.

  Whilst sitting through the public talk, each week seemed to have it's own "this is bollocks!!" moment, and the incidence rate steadily increased. To alleviate the boredom I'd play "GB sweepstake", and try to predict how many times the governing body would be mentioned, or lauded, that week. The average was three. I think that's when I hit breaking point, when I could no longer stomach it, even as a cynical observer. The Governing Body was mentioned in the opening prayer. Elder "genial smiling assassin" expected us to pray to the seven old farts. Not for. To. Arseholes to that. The following meeting was the great apostabash, which I just had to see for myself, but since then I haven't set foot back in the Ministry Of Truth.

  Mrs. Brown has the right idea...

  a clip from the british bbc/irish rte co-produced comedy show "mrs. brown's boys".

  admittedly it features the mormons, but i'm sure we all can think of another barking mad bunch who fit the bill just as well.

  possibly a technique to try next time your saturday morning is interrupted?.

  I think the principal that applies here is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The amount of vitriol aimed at the watchtower is proportional to the harm it has caused. Some members recognise it for the farce that it is and treat it as one big joke, how can it have any hold over you when you can't help but laugh at it. For others the pain is more raw. Certainly whatever the reaction, the experience was enough to put people off the idea for life.

  As for salvaging the least lunatic facets of the doctrine, we have an expression here in the UK.

  You can't polish a turd.
