  i gather from my other thread that many liked the creation books, the mankind search for god book, the greatest man book and the ministry school book.. but which book did you absolutely detest?.

  here is mine:.

  Anything that covered anything to do with sex or masterbation. UGGHHH!!! I hated those studies. I remember a few years ago there was a Watchtower article on sex and oral sex came up in one of the paragraphs. The elder doing the study is this really oldschool guy so he asked the question, "Just to be absolutely clear, is oral sex permitted by bible standards?" Crickets. Then this old crotchety woman, the kind that hasn't had sex since Russell was alive, raises her hand and boldly condemns the "immoral practice." All the young people were looking at thier feet.

  I think that was the most interesting watchtower I've studied, now that I think of it.

  Not that there's anything wrong with that! I'm just saying that she gave up a great oppurtunity to knock on doors and now that she doesn't do that anymore, she can't find a job.

  Funny Minimus, I have a family member that righteously gave up a full scholarship to a high ranking university so she could pioneer. Now she's a stay at home mom.

  MrQuik: Maybe that explains the difference. We've dealt with death in our family because most of my family came in because of my grandparents. They were both Catholic before converting so I don't think they ever thought they would "see" the end and prepared for death just in case.

  i don't know if this is accurate or not.

  it's on of those fb chain letter thingys but it's awesome and i'd thought i would share:.

  in her radio show, dr laura schlesinger said that, as an observant orthodox jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance.

  That's like telling the woman who conceived a child from a rape "Well, it wasn't all bad, was it?"

  Were you a second, third generation JW?

  I've already posted it on my FB. I have this one guy I went to college with that I swear is trying to become a televangelist. He's started his own bible group on FB and keeps recruiting kookie people. His posts are so WEIRD! Not even biblically based. Just odd. Like this one that he just posted:

  Christ said "I'll be back" well before Arnold did. Except he's known as the Resurrector ;)

  Whaaaaa??? Anyway, he threw a hissy when I posted it. LOVE IT!

  I remember an CO that gave a talk once when I was younger and the only thing I remember about the talk was him describing the death of my friends at school and them looking up at me asking "Why didn't you tell me? You could have preached to me and warned me but you didn't want to tell me!" The talk was about informal witnessing. And I hated informal witnessing.

  I hated that line that came inevitably at EVERY assembly, "Could you be doing more?"

  I always knew I would die. Even when I was young and convinced the Big A would be before my 30's birthday, I always felt that I wasn't good enough and God would kill me. Well, 6 months till I'm 30. I'm still waiting...
