Simon - is it possible to ban Friday/Yadirf from posting here? He engenders hatred toward so many. I really don't think I've ever seen a productive, positive post from him/her yet. Thanks!

peace and love to everyone,.
the purpose of this post is not..let me repeat not to start a flame war, so as my mother use to tell me, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
ok so it doesn't have to be nice but please try and keep it civil.

its been a while since i read stephen r. covey's _the 7 habits of highly effective people_ and i do not feel like looking up the section i am getting ready to mention.
but i think i recall covey talking about the unhealthy habit of becoming overly engrossed in one activity or pursuit.. it seems that there are individuals using this medium of communication whose life's aim is to "help" jws out of the "borg" or 'bring down the tower.
if it tricks your trigger, i guess there is nothing anyone can do to prevent you from "helping" jws out of the "borg.
"They just cannot seem to let JWs enjoy freedom of worship."
Dunnsie, ole boy, you seem to have forgotten the first rule to enjoying and exercising your rights:
Your right to do what you want ends when it endangers or damages the rights of others.
JW's way of life endangers AND damages lives. That is all.

My dad used to say this about the definition of an "expert":
"An 'ex' is a has-been, and a 'spurt' is just a drip under pressure..."

i took this pic last week on the family farm in bonnie scotland.
her ladyship is busily munching on her toast and marmalade whilst 2 of the dogs watch and drool.. my question is this: both the dogs are top pedigree animals and weigh in at 140 pounds each.
can you identify the breed?.
Rats! I'm out - I thought it was a Newfoundland (webbed feet, too)

not just content with attempting to scuttle the kyoto accord by claiming it was anti-american, bush has now pulled the usa out of an international agreement on tightening up controls on chemical warfare, citing almost exactly the same concerns.
can't you blokes across the atlantic impeach this lunatic?.
..... fanaticism masquerading beneath a cloak of reasoned logic.
"Yes, Americans did elect George Bush. This is why I am going to post a civis lesson for non-Americans and a few Americans who do not understand how the process works."
Uh, I have to disagree with you on this, Amazing. The Supreme Court SELECTED W to be president, with help from the pressure tactics of the GOP. This was clearly evident throughout the whole process, and more recently, shown in the New York Times. They ran a front-page article about how "questionable" overseas ballots (postmarked past the election day deadline, mistakes in punching out chads, etc) were discarded if they were for Gore. Ballots found to have similar or even identical mistakes were counted, if the vote was for George W. Is that how the "prcoess" is supposd to work? I'd love to sit in on this civics class of yours! :)

Thinker's Wife:
Thanks! I could NOT remember Theresa Graves' name for the life of me. I remember in the Afake! article about her, she said she had to quit doing the show, 'cause she told the producers she couldn't do the gun-toting, karate action stuff anymore, after becoming a JW. Wnder what ever happened to her?

maximus,.
you seem like a smart fellow but you have jw rationalism imbedded in your brain.
you asked for an explanation and here it is:.
There is no God, and the Bible was written by men. There. Now you have no argument.

it seems like to me the majority of people who are in the truth, are were in the truth was a result of either a family member are a friend witnessing to them and not many seem to have been found in the door to door work.. from my years of associating with the borg i cannot recall many coming in the truth from the door to door work.. how were you sucked in?
for me it was my aunt who has now even though i am not disfellowshipped decided to write me out of her will to the tune of about $150,000.00 (maybe i should hang around a couple more years)dont think i will.. please respond .
thanks.

want to see bethelites act like greedy scavengers?
just check out the tail end of bethel family breakfast, lunch or dinners.
for those not familar with this phenomenon, gleaning was when bethelites could basically bring their tupperware dishes down and store up on the leftover meals once the family was dismissed (usually by prayer, except for the bethel dinner).
True,true, Black Man. What about PIZZA NIGHT? That was straight up BIZARRE. Like a bunch of college kids, tryin' to see who could eat the most squares.
