Office Jargon, drives me nuts

by punkofnice in

'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.

previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.

i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

The Rebel

Well Punk at least office jargon has been " taken to the next level" from when female staff were referred to as " birds" " she's fit" or " bunny". Those were the days when " Be there or be square" "and " feel the funk" were at least " buzz" words I could understand the meaning of. Nowadays I find myself having to desifer the meaning to "buzz" words such as " square the circle" which I think is supposed to sound clever, but actually I have no idea what the guy is saying.

Anyway I must get back to my " strategic staircase" which I think means continue on my business plan. So I won't let " the grass grow to long" with this post " may the force be with you" and I hope we can " touch base latter"

Proof the earth can be flat

by slimboyfat in

"our perception of reality has more to do with what is going on in here (our brain) than what's going on out there (in the world).".

is it a dark square or a light square?

Cofty " Bollocks"

Slimboy" fact" " That's one way of putting it"

The Rebel, " I am not sure if " Bollocks" is in the Queens English, but " Bollocks" are difficult to receive, but this is the criteria for receiving one of Coftys " Bollocks"

Cofty explaining why I received the honour in a former post. " Occasionally an assertion appears on the forum that is so egregious that it really doesn't deserve the time and energy to refute it. At these times " Bollocks" is the appropriate response. I suspect 4 or 5 people have been granted a " Bollocks" to date"

The Rebel. I would suggest if or when you have received a " Bollocks" from Cofty we list them in a Magnificent Limited Addition Book, called " Bollocks" It would look great on the mantle piece and serve as a reminder we should think before we post.

My " Bollocks" we're received for:-

A) "The opposite of knowlege is love"

B) " A thought is not thinking"

Slimboyfats "Bollocks " was received for this gem " Proof the earth can be flat"

Remember these " Bollocks" can be received absolutely free and the compiled book will be of great value to Members of the Governing Body, for further use in Watchtower study articles.

Evolution is a Fact #7 - Human Egg Yolk Gene

by cofty in

exploring the human genome is like roaming around an historic town.

some places are pristine and obviously still in everyday use.

others have been unused for a while and starting to show signs of decay and if you look carefully there are relics of buildings that were abandoned long ago.. in this post we are going to look at a gene that we still carry in every cell in our body but which fell into disuse 10s of millions of years ago.. humans are placental mammals.

The Rebel

Well we are now on Coftys series " Evolution is a fact" pt 7, and I I have contacted the Jehovers Witness London Headquarters in Edgware for a responce and submit the reply:-

Dear Apostate Cofty , thank you for your thoughts on Evolution, please understand we want you to be our friend, but the bible is our only authority in addition let us look at a scripture for proof evolution is wrong " in the beginning God Created the earth". And that is proof enough for us.

Therefore dear Apostate your posts on Evolution have a luck of scriptural support to support your thinking,. This is clarified because as keen bible students we only use reference supported from the bible.Therefore with what " little time remains before the end of this system" we suggest you repent and accept that Jehover is in fall control.

Please accept our warm Christan love and best wishes, with one final thought EVOLTION is an EVIL-ILLUSION.

Sadly I once believed that bullshit.

Stupid Questions to Ask Gay Guys

my friend tells me he gets sick of silly questions.

i tell him its part of the assimilation process.

The Rebel

fulltimestudent, that was a fun video, and may I say I think it great that such sketches in the year 2016, no longer display Gay men as puny neurotic and with vulnability.

On a serious note I grew up on films such as Buthch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, ( Paul Newman, Robert Redford) which I now view as films about men who secretly were in love with each other, and incapable of committing to a woman. So joking aside I think your video crashed that bogus superficiality of sexuality, and the cold calculating images I once worshipped such as Bronson in death wish or Eastwood in Dirty Harry. Anyway I now see these portrays of masculinity as shallow and damaging to modern society and a persons sexuality.

Sorry if my post subtracted from the good humor intended with the thread but I really think real male images of masculinity presented in films by Al Pacinos homosexual portrayal of Sonny in Dog Day afternoon, or entertainers like Elton John, and David Bowies courage to be honest about their sexuality has helped change our culture and give liberation to people so they can come out as gay.

Once again sorry about the serious post, but threads like yours, I hope help people like me accept my former prejudice was wrong and what I was taught by an organistion was wrong and many of the films I watched were wrong in there portrayal of what makes a man.

The Deep Things of Jehovah(tm). What are they?

by punkofnice in

i just wondered.

.

The Rebel

And so for the moment, the matter rests with punks observation Money, and may I add a declining property empire, that none the less is compensated for by inheriting members family homes.

The other deep things of " Jehovers Organisation" is there is no compensation for years wasted in the organisation, and members are further ridiculed by having to sing ridiculouse kingdom melodies which breach the term associated with pleasant singing and musical instruments being played with passion.

" Truly I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom oh heaven" .Translation:- No Skill/ Talent Required, to inherit the fantastic give-away offer of understanding the deeper things of Jehover. Only total 100% obedience to Jehovers organisation.

The Rebel

I have now pondered my O.P for two days, and my answer to my question " How such an unloving organisation can have so many kind hearted is:-

A) I must accept we all have our bind spots when rationality can take a back seat to emotions, and this is particularly true if :-

1) if a person is indoctrinated at a young age.

2) Also social pressure to remain faithful can cloud a persons judgement.

3) There is also the high cost of rejecting our faith.

Sadly my kind heartedness is not so benevolent to those that remain in the " truth" for ego and for positions of respect when they know the damage the organistion has and is doing to its members.

Punk: (Q) " The deep Things of Jehover, what are they?

The Rebel (A) I am stamped. However I think if a poster can answer that correctly they deserve a Noble Prize, or perhaps more realistically an award for post of year.

Would a loving creator give humans the gift of free will?

by Heisenberg in

they say ignorance is bliss... well, i wish that god did not give adam free will.

i am ok to not have free will if it means i will live forever in perfect paradisiac conditions.it has been explained that free will is a gift from god.

they say 'who would want to live life like a robot?

Thanks for the reply "OneEyedJoe" ...however it should be noted these " kind hearted, honest people" are now displaying hatred to people's sexual persuasion, and not kindness to their own children's individuality. Also these kind hearted honest people look forward to the day " Jehover" destroys 99% of the population he created.

I love kind hearted and honest people :-)
