  You got to love these emails going around JW land.

  friends,.

  a co in the w...... congregation said that the reason so many of our brothers are dis-fellowshipped isn't because of wrong doing, it's because the new system isn't a reality.

  read this all the way thru, it is truly a dose of what is yet to come.

  WOW! Been a couple of years since I've been on this board - I check from time to time - but this is nearly vomit-inducing. I was raised a Dub, been out since '93. Said it before & I'll say it again: "Best decision EVER!" Cheers! :)

  A little late, but here's the one I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Alfreds-Group-Piano-Adults-Second/dp/0739035266 I am a voice major at Marshall University, & this book seems pretty well-designed. I'll be taking piano classes until I can pass my piano proficiency exam! Good luck!

  Kindness Toward Trolls

  by compound complex in

  dear givers of the benefit of the doubt,.

  i recall that in discussing "love believes all things," the aid book stated that we should give our "brother" the benefit of the doubt until we have good reason to no longer do so.

  that's the gist of it.

  "I miss our regular trolls here -- estephan, et al. Their ravings are like a breath of fresh air in here; a bit of comic relief. I hope the mods never get so good that all the trolls get weeded out." I miss Fred Hall and his breathtaking carelessness in spelling, argumentation style, and general idiocy. :) Been a while...

  Something I want to tell you apostates

  by LeftBehind in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i want you to know that you have destroyed a family because of your lies about jehovah and his organization.

  a family member went apostate and has turned his back on jehovah.

  he told us he is never coming back and i know he went and visited internet sites.

  Nasal Surgery

  by Alana in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had a septoplasty, turbinate shaving, & removal of a nasal bone spur this last monday.

  i almost posted that i was going to have a procedure and ask that you all keep me in your thoughts.....but, thought that compared to what some here are going through, that this would be nothing at all.

  has anyone here had similar surgery?

  Alana, you have my deepest sympathy. Does this procedure cure snoring? I snore pretty loudly, & my wife would be ever so grateful...

  We're all hypocrites!

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i firmly believe that if you talk to someone long enough and know someone long enough, you will learn they are a hypocrite.

  i don't think anyone can remain on one theme in their life forever and stick with it, as life is just to much about change to allow this and the human experience is about learning and changing.

  when i see people quote others and yell the inevitable "hypocrite" comment in their direction.

  Mention of Jehovah's Witnesses in popular entertainment

  by enderby in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i don't know if this thread has been done before, but can anybody think of times that jehovah's witnesses were made mention of or joked about in music, tv, or movies?

  for example,there are a couple of simpsons episodes, one were marge alludes to being so desperate for company that jehovah's witnesses ran away when she went to get them more lemonade.

  another time, two jw's approach the simpsons' house and one turns to the other just before ringing the doorbell and asks "ruby, do you ever think we should get real jobs?".

  In the beginning of the Chris Tucker movie, "Friday". Jehovahs witnesses are ringing the door bell and ringing the door bell finally when the door is answered and they say their not interested the angry JW says "Well, F_CK you then!" And that lady was played by LaWanda Page (real name Amanda Peal) who played Aunt Esther on Sanford & Son. May she rest in peace.

  2. friends

  here's a couple of pics that bring back memories...the shop my dad own that i worked in for a couple of bucks an hour less than anyone else, even after i moved out.

  and the swimming pool he built for "us" (mainly so young girls would come over and be half naked).. funny, people used to think it was so cool because it was the only pool around town...now it's so pathetic to me.

  Watchtower website article on the History of the Tortilla

  "please pass the tortillas".

  while the writer obviously enjoys tortillas i wonder if it saddens him that the culture that created the tasty tortilla will soon be slaughtered at har-mageddon?
