In looking at 'Six Feet Under' last night on HBO, I think it would be a good idea to burn them.
When I got fed up with those books, I threw them down the trash-chute only to have the maintenance guy come upstairs and tell me that those bound books are too big for the trash compactor - How embarrassing :) I forgot that my name was on all the books. After that, I threw a book down the chute one day at a time (with my name crossed out of course :)

hey!
ok, we all know of this uncanny word play about not saying, "you were lucky," and not saying "bless you" after someone sneezes.
but this is a bizarre one i heard.
Gary B - I'll have to pay more attention to your post from now on, b/c what you said was on the money:
"Theism has been taught and accepted without question."
Regarding mentioning Jah's name while under a Demon attack - Well, other religions use the name of 'Jesus' and the results are the same. They claim that using Jesus name is a protection
My theory is - Those strange occurrences happens only if you believe them. The mind can make anything happen. One persons belief is anyone persons entertainment.

has being or associating with jehovahs witnesses made you more or less judgemental of people?.
has it been wiser to be judgemental or less judgemental?
To be human is to be judgmental - You couldn't survive without it. But in answer to your question -
Yes, being a JDub made me more judgmental of other people. Hell, I was even judgmental inside the BORG of anyone that wasn't 'reaching out' or serving Jah full-time.
I would judge a person based on their response to 'The Troof' - Which meant that 99% of the world would be destroyed.
Now, I accept people more readily (less judgmental), respecting their views on whatever. Being an Ex-Jdub helped me to realize that 'One persons' viewpoint is just as good as the next persons', and that no one has a monopoly on knowledge.
Peace - LL :)
as much information, insight and entertainment this forum provides, some things about its format and design have come to annoy me.
let me start by saying that i think one of the biggest weaknesses of this forum may be the active topics option at the top.
it seems to me that some people may use this option just to see which topics are still alive.
The flaw with this forum is the flaw with everything else in this world - nothing is perfect.

hey guys, .
was just wondering what is your worst jw buzzword.
probably all of us hate the "just leave it in jehovah's hands.
The Truth
this subject has been gnawing at me for awhile now.. so many of you:.
1) were raised in "the truth?".
2) did you get baptized and at what age?.
1) Were raised in "the truth?" Yes
2) Did you get baptized and at what age? 19 or 20
3) What age were you when you faded, were DF'd or DA'd? 34 years old - DA'd - 1998 - Larry
you'll be getting the aug. 1 watchtower soon.
on it's rear cover, it has the following article:.
"the branch office of jehovah's witnesses in nigeria recently received a letter that, in part.
Yes, this is sick, not because they are begging for money, because all businesses do that, but God' s Spirit Directed Organization should not have to stoop to such 'worldly' manuevers.
Reminds me of Wu-Tang's 1993 hit classic -

Cash Rules Evertyhing Around Me
Peace - LL :)
the other day when i was visiting with my mother she was looking at the new car she and her husband had just purchased.
she told me that they now realize there payments are higher than they should be.
she said sister so and so is going to get them a better loan at her company.
If god would answer prayers for better car prices, why can't god answer prayers for the thousands of people who suffer daily.
Prayer - What a catch 22. If god answers, then good, if he doesn't answer it then it wasn't his will, or YOU didn't pray hard enough - Damn god can lose for nothing :)
Amen - Larry :)

if you could go back to the time when jesus was on earth, and you could actually talk to him, what would you ask him?.
would you have followed him, knowing that the end was thousands of years away?
I would ask him:
Why he borrowed his teachings from other Holy Men hundreds and thousands of years before him;
Why his youth is cut of history;
Why he never used his father's name;
Why he didn't personally leave any written words authored by himself, and finally
How do you feel knowing that most human suffering is on account of your name.
Praise the Lord Larry :)
PS - I would have done things worst than Judas, just so that I would be a proverbial saying for time indefinite :-)
here's my movies that suck list.
battlefield earth .
mission to mars .
I had to look at Soul Plane for a special project - By far the worst movie I've ever seen. Everyone associated with the film should be ashamed of themselves.
The next worst movie I saw was 'Bringing Down the House' - I couldn't believe the stereotypes in that movie.
Last week I feel asleep on Eternal Sunshine on a Spotless Mind. I might give that movie another chance when it comes on cable.
Peace - LL.
