I have to disagree here. Not a fan of How I met your Mother but Friends was pretty funny imo. I've seen plenty of shows with laugh tracks that do not succeed at making me laugh. I just change the channel. Not a big fan of the Phoebe character but I have found myself laughing at her at times too. But not always. But he rest of the cast and writing I found quite amusing and worth watching. Everyone has their own tastes and I wouldn't think someone is brain dead for not liking some of my all time favorites, MASH, I love Lucy, Seinfeld, Friends, Curb Your Enthusiasm just to name a few.

Most brain dead sit com of all time
by zeb inok..before you start no i don't watch them but my family have a never ending need to watch "how i met your mother" and endless repeats of "friends" .
canned laughter, one liners with pause so those of lesser brain can catch the 'humour'.
i have to put up with the sound track.. thank god for the abc classic fm-radio.

I believe the song above, I won't forget you, was mixed with video from the Typhoon in the Philippines. I am not sure though. I didn't see the broadcast with this video. -

Children of murdered Charleston minister have "already forgiven" their Mother's killer.
by nicolaou ini'm not judging these poor young people, if this is how they are coping with the trauma of losing their mum i can only wish them well.
i have to admit though that my jaw dropped when i first saw this interview, i couldn't square their reaction with what i understand as 'normal' human grief.. is this religiously motivated form of forgiveness a positive thing?
should i acknowledge this as something to be said in favour of religion?.

I agree their feelings are probably suppressed right now. It will take them some time to process this. Incredibly sad! -

He actually took a dig at the Catholic Church right at the beginning ofvthe quoted comments. He said "strangely" it was the Catholic church that took the message to preach seriously.
He took one more dig at them and Martin Luther I believe. He said somethink like Martin Luther was almost a Catholic. Oh Gawed! The horror! Ha! They still cannot help themselves from insulting the Catholics. Some habits die hard.

The Logisitcs of Destroying Organized Religion
by truthseeker inthey define babylon the great as the "world empire of false religion", and that jehovah god will use the united nations to turn on her.. .
the "keep on the watch" brochure says the following, regarding the destruction of babylon the great:.
"for our day, the bible forecasts that political governments, like a wild beast, will turn on "the harlot" and strip her naked, exposing her real .

Dubs are clinging to this idea still! My family makes comments like "don't you see it?" You're always watching news how can you not see or get the sense that governments are going to turn on religion?"
A few days ago a pioneer dub I talked to at the door made a similar comment. I told her just as I told my sister I just don't see it. How is it possible Government is going to ban religion? It's a nice thought as religion is a problem but it is not the only problem in this world.

Return to Jehovah… No Return Address
by Marvin Shilmer inreturn to jehovah... no return address .
today i read a small piece of poetic irony.
im not going to advertise from what web forum i read this, but it was so astounding i had to share it somewhere.

Ha Ha! "return to me or I'll kill you" That's funny. I hear this family all the time. "Jehovah is so loving he doesn't want anyone to be destroyed. He is giving everyone a chance to come to him" Well then why the hell is he letting so many good people suffer for so long? Why didn't he just fix the problem in the beginning when Adam and Eve sinned? Why didn't he just wipe out Satan back then? Why did he create us with free will in the first place? Why didn't he just create us all so that we'd be perfect and happy people and incapable of sin?
Perhaps because Jehovah (God) is just not there.

Reports of lower memorial attendance
by thedepressedsoul ini have heard a lot of reports from kingdom halls in the area that there was less than last year, for both time slots.. we had the first time slot and we were down 50+/- compared to last year.
last year we had the lobby full of people standing and this year we had empty seats and no one standing.
we ran out of parking last year and this year we made it.. like i said i am hearing quite a few reports of this from halls in our area.however, somehow the number seem to inch up every year.

They are always in my neighborhood but never got an invite. I went for family reasons. Went to a local congregation's meeting. Actually it was two congregations that met in a hotel conference room. There were about two empty rows that could have for about 20 people. There were a few empty scattered seats that I could see around me. But I have no idea how large the congregations are.
I didn't get any love bombing. I was in pants and never saw these dubs before. Talk was cold and dubs were cold. One lady did welcome me on my way in.

i find it extremely interesting the comment of one of the posters who is studying with the witnesses.. frank j karasienski 3 days ago .
individuals are flawed..... looking at this article it really makes it look like an organization is hiding the situation.

OTWO: you are so right about the dubs putting down the Catholic church for the very same sins. What a crying shame they cannot see it in their own group. My mother always points out the Catholic church and how awful and hypocritical they are whenever defending the dubs about this issue. Sadly, my mom doesn't really know the doctrines she is told to believe in. I think is the case with much of my dub family. They just blindly follow and live in fear of the Big A. -
