The necktie isn't pagan (as far as I know) but it started out as military atire.
Can men still not have beards?
i have a feeling i am going to have to explain to my jw folks why i have decided to allow my children to participate in holidays at school.
theyll probably be wondering too why i will get together with our non jw family for the holidays.. .
we know jws avoid holidays because of their pagan origins.

i dated someone earlier tonight and she looks pretty good, she invited me over to her home.
she has a very good salary(she has phd degree) but i do not understand why she chose to live in a white trash mobile home park.
i asked her how long she is going to live there, she said she just signed 2 year lease last month.
A truly mind boggling suggestion.
Ask her
Maybe it is her fake home that she brings guys home to when she wants to get rid of them or at least weed out the shallow ones.
from time to time i do try to post what i do consider interesting, thought provoking and also.
way to lift ...the veil the the society would like to remain in front of the eyes of the rank and file.. .
please do consider the following informations:.
RE 3*
Funny how they are preparing for the future as if the great tibulation is not coming yet demand that the rank do the exact opposite.
how much interest has this little critter caused lol, so many threads created in his honor.
the dubbies probably won't even take the time to watch the dvd, they'll just be so happy that the dc is over for another year.
shame really because it's such an eye opener.. peace.
Nambo, I'm pissed!!! I watched almost that entire video before I relaized was for a product and the real Sparlock wasn't going to show up.
LOL
today i had some time to see the sparlock movie.. first at all i want to thank my jw parents for giving me a free youth within the jw belief.
i was gifted with a great fantasy.
i played daily characters like tank general (on my bike), secret service employee (behind the couch), the family wizard (with tricks) and soldier... my parents knew it, and loved it.. this dvd is not representative of all jw family's!.

That's true, which is a problem for them. Why do you think they released it?
After watching for the second time I released it has a two fold effect.
First, the fear and guilt associated with making god sad controls you now. But second, the constant disappointment of having anything or anyone you actually liked taken away from you sets you up to be ready for the disappointment of the ever changing date of Armageddon.
if you are an american citizen, please visit http://wh.gov/tfk and sign the "protect millions of americans from dangerous orgs: modify usc title 26 501 tax exemption requirements" petition that i created on june 1, 2012 on the white house website.
i assume that only americans can sign this petition, but i do not know.
it takes about 2 minutes to register and sign the petition.
Isn't that kind of an oxymoron? How can you force someone to promote freedom of religion and speech without infringing on their right to the same freedoms? Plus the jdubs are very careful to only make "suggestions" in writing so this probalbly wouldn't affect them anyway. And a law like that would be just another law on the books that nobody could afford to enforce. I hear they are laying off tax autitors even though each auditor briings in farm more revenu than their anual salary. Who are we going to hire to enforce this law?
do you feel occassionally sad when you flash back at your life as a jw, may be you occassionally become overshadowed by regrets and bitter feelings and not knowing exactly what caused it.. some regretted wasted life while others regretted being trapped in what they feel was a cult.
do you experience anything similar.
how do you usually surmon up courage to stand up and forge ahead?.
Heres a comple things that make me sad.
1. Never learning to make real friends because the only criteria for having a friend was that they be a JW no matter how crappy of a person they were. Looking back a lot of them were pretty crappy. In addition to that I had to stop hanging around with the people I did like because they weren't JWs. Although I bet the emotional disconnect made it a lot easer to deal with my DFing. After leaving I have to say I almost never thought about anyone I spent time with as a JW.
2. Not having other avenues for learning life's lessons for the things you parents didn't know. The old saying it takes a village has some merit. Other kids get to play sports and other after school activities to learn these lessons. JWs are discouraged from going to a therapist or even talking to the school counselor.. (Not that you would ever be able to trust then anyway)
new august public wt is online.. the first article addresses miracles and tries to refute common objections if miracles are possible.
i won't bore you with the details, please see for yourself the blatant disregard of science, documented events, etc...however, in conclusion the article states:.
pg.6: "...so, then, are there such things as miracles?.
The reason there were miracles in the past is because at some point in the future we developed time travel. This, along with the bad conditions in the world, led us to go back in time and use future technology to perform what looked like miracles to the people back then. Our goal was to make the future a better place to live by making people believe in and fear god. Along with this we planted the various religious books, the Bible the Koran etc... The unfortunate side effect was that once people started to worship god no one believed time travel was possible so it was never invented. And that is why we no longer see miracles in our time.
*This post is true because it written in this post.
i don't seem to be making myself clear these days.
.
there has been so many "dislikes" on sparlock clips i received a message from youtube.. i asked for people to "like" the videos instead of "dislike" because this will also push the videos to the top of searches and hopefully get more views especially for jws searching from it .. i am now getting abuse.. please can people "like" the clips so the balance between like and dislike gets reversed.. ty x.
I don't think the title helps your cause. Without reading your comments there's no way to know this is supposed to be a commentary on the JWs and not a post by a JW trying to promote their religion.
