If it weren't for drinking, I would have cut my own throat from ear to ear by now.

So What Would You Do If You Won $550,000,000?
by Mary inok, so the mega millions jackpot is at half a billion dollars.
if you won and decided to take it in a lump sum, you automatically lose 40%, then there's state and federal taxes, so you'd actually get a 'meazly' $240,000,000.. what would you do if you won that kind of money?
other than donate a chunk to the world-wide-wit-lessing-work..........

I'd compile a list of WT Heavyweights, and put a hit out on them.

How does my mother manage to sound very convincing about the WTS?
by Inisc inseriously, the wts quite often comes upin conversation with my mother,i get all the updates and who was asking about me etc.. and inevitably i can hold my tongue no longer, tho i'm very careful to phrase everything as a question.. so, the subject of dfing came up as someone in her cong just got the boot, and we were talking about shunning and why i don't think 'quit mixing with' means quite what the society says it does.
now, even she doesn't entirely agree with the wt on this one, but then she still defends it and goes on about keeping the cong clean etc.. and we have also talked about other things i don't agree with, un, college, spirit appointed elders, 7th king etc.. and while she doesn't always completely agree with th wt she always defends it and i find myself almost buying into it!
it's not until later that i can think more clearly and see my original point of view makes much more sense!.

This used to happen to me when I first started articulating my thoughts to mom. She's a second generation regular pioneer, baptized as a kid before she even hit her double digit years, and knows her Bible when it comes to defending WT doctrine. I remember one evening I came over for dinner, and somehow we got into a discussion about that which I can't remember at this time, but when it was all said and done, my father said to me, "You're not going to win against her, she's way ahead of you." I didn't view that as a reason to give up, or accept that she was right, and to be balanced and fair it didn't make me determined to out-argue her either as it's not about competition. Rather it made me more determined than ever to make sure of my own beliefs so that I can articulate what I do agree with the WT on, and what I don't.
The last time I had a conversation with my mother on something WT related that I didn't agree with, I had her squirming. She looked uncomfortable as if she was in the room with a known serial rapist. Because of that last conversation, without saying so, we've both come to a cease-fire on WT doctrine or organizational matters that I take issue with.
I think it can be difficult to argue with our mothers, because hey it's mom! That's especially so if we have a good relationship with her. Even Norman Bates couldn't argue with his mother. It's funny how when I discuss these matters with my brother, my sister, and especially my father, I find that they're more inclined to agree with me and even support my arguments. My mother though, she's a lost cause, and at her age that's ok. Let her have that hope.

Glenster beat me to it, I was just about to mention Mansquito as that's a GREAT Syfy film. If God didn't create Mosquitoes, that film would have never come to fruition.

5/15 WT - WT Society Displays Condescending Attitude towards Marriage
by flipper inas most of us know the wt society has always claimed that it's dissapproved in god's sight to marry a non-jw .
although they've never made it a disfellowshipping offense, any jw who marries outside the jw organization is looked at as " weak " or lacking " spirituality " and loses certain alleged " privileges " in the congregations.
they use scriptures in the old testament as support for this.

On pg. 4 paragraph 7 it states, " If a dedicated servant of Jehovah married an unbeliever , this would be an act of disobedience to God. A Christian who marries an unbeliever is NOT exemplary and lacks a real appreciation for God's gift of marriage. Entertaining such a union after baptism can cost one some privileges among God's people. And it would be illogical to expect blessings while admitting in prayer, ' Jehovah, I deliberately disobeyed you, but please bless me anyway.
Utterly ridiculous because they're not disobeying God, they're disregarding the Apostle Paul's council. Besides as Blondie has pointed out in the past, Moses amongst others in the Scriptures, didn't "marry only in the Lord."
Even the WT society writers THEMSELVES admit as much in this next quote that indeed non-Witnesses DO have " some " appreciation of marriage. Notice the quote, " Even many of those who have known little or nothing about Jehovah God and his wonderful gift of marriage have shown at least a MEASURE of gratitude for the marital bond. "
Something I've been thinking about lately..........the Scriptures state that a Christian is to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, right? However, JWs are baptized after repenting of their sins and recognizing that they're going to become part of God's spirit directed organization which goes directly against what the Scripture's states the vows are to be.
Considering that, if a married Christian of another denomination who previously was baptized with the correct vows, in a moment of rarity decides to convert and become a JW by reciting the WT's non-scriptural vows, they're essentially invalidating their previously scriptural baptism. That said, I wonder at times why the WT doesn't consider the previous marriage vows of their own converts from previous denominations as invalid? I mean the WT invalidates everything else that's convenient, why not the marriages of their converts?
On another note, considering that non-annointed aren't really the intended audience of The New Testament according to the WT's teaching that only the annointed are the True Christians part of the New Covenant arrangement, I'm under the impression that none of Paul's council really applies to any of the rank & file non-annointed anyway.

The men are looking forward to the NCAA basketball championship game the Monday before.
"While they were watching Kentucky put the beats on Kansas, George took a Buffalo Wing in one hand, and greedily neglecting to say thanks, said to himself, eat for this is pleasurable and means additional fat upon my body.
Then he took a non-light bottle of Heineken, and again without saying thanks, placed the bottle towards his mouth and said to himself, drink from it. This represents the first of three bottles partaken in one night from within a six-pack. I tell you, I will not drink another three until the following night as I didn't request a vacation day from work on the following day necessary to recuperate from the previous night's action."

Serena wants to marry a JW - does anyone want to be evenly yoked?
by dozy inhttp://www.s2smagazine.com/stories/2012/03/serena-williams-wants-man-her-faith.
she says that she is "studying" to become a jw , so i guess that fits in with the report that her & venus are ubps , not baptised.. personally i prefer caroline woznaicki , but i don't doubt that there will be a quite a few jw guys that regard her as ace & might be tempted to play mixed doubles , court and have a love game with serena.
and with her 85 million usd wealth , i'm guessing that that part time janitor or window washing job might no longer be necessary..

Not to mention, she's probably into kinky stuff. She once threatened to shove a tennis ball down a line judge's throat. One thing comes to mind: ball gag.
She'd have me looking like this spanking me with a 16 page Awake magazine.

The Fundamental Mistake
by TD inthere's a funny story that's circulated among engineering types about a young vp at arco.
he saw an inordinate amount of 'boiler operators' on the payroll and noticed that they made an inordinate amount of money.
he decided that he would save the company a bunch of money by out-sourcing the building maintenance.
