Outlaw, have I told you lately that I love you?
Your lack of pretension and your ability to say a lot with a few is beyond comparison.

How are you with your temper?
by The Rebel inlet's be honest everyone has their limits, their breaking point.
personally i try to remain placid when provoked, but on occasion i can loose it.
the last time i lost it was when chelsea came to watford and some chelsea supporters had some how got tickets and were sitting in the home end.

I am going to guess that most people fancy that they are good at controlling their temper.
I do better as I get older.
That is all I will say without incriminating myself!

If You Refuse to Question, How Can You Be Sure of the Answer?
by xjwsrock in..... let's pose a forbidden question....is the jw faith actually the one true religion?
if you refuse to ask this question with a true open mind and heart, how can it be said you know the answer is yes?
put another way..... if you refuse to ask this question today, how can you really say you know today that the answer is yes?.

Great thread. I think somewhere in here is the factor that most people are the same religion as their parents.
This used to be remarkably true but now that the world is becoming more secular it is not happening as much.
It reminds me of food. People love the dishes they ate when they were children.
People crave that food all their lives. It doesnt matter if it is strictly not the tastiest or most palatable mentally.
It goes back in a far more primal way than that.
That is the way religion seems for a lot of JWs that learned it when children.

Are the Elders harder on Women
by Steel ini was having a discussion with an old friend last night.
her parents are divorced and his mother never became “one of jehovah witnesses “ .
long story short she claims elders are generally hardier on women than men.

I think it has to do with type.
As mentioned above they will be hard on a strong woman or one who shows no fear of them.
A pretty young woman who cries and looks up to them and maybe "daddy" is one of them (elders) will fare better.
I think they are the absolute hardest on young men.
The only way to survive as a young man is to be thin, fair skinned, balding and brown nosing.

The Sea
by compound complex inthe sea once held this youngster's heart within its mighty bosom.i loved and cherished the sea, stretching outward beyond infinity.
i took to the e'er dreary landscape, the dank surroundings soothing me, enveloping me in crawling mists that were more welcomed to me than the evaporating rays of a cavorting summer sun.i, however, am no longer that pensive lad who found comfort in the dark and cold and deep blue sea.
today, a man in the physical sense, i no longer possess that childlike fascination with my former abode.

How delusional is Tony Morris actually?
by Festus inanthony morris iii was representing gb in international convention in helsinki, finland.
in his final talk he mentioned that at the fight of armageddon jesus will fight together with the 144 000. he then reminds the audience that one angel destroyed 185000 assyrians.
so what are "144 000 immortal creatures together with jesus going to do".

Thanks for that post Freddo. My thoughts exactly. The role of the 144,000 is to be kings and priests like Melchizedek. The role of avenger and messenger is in the angel category.
So why doesnt Tony know his Bible as well as we do?

Craziest meeting in last 10 years let's compare
by Chook inhi guys ,i'm new here 27 in 1 year out.. ive escaped 2 judicially by changing congs in rapid escape .i will tell my last dodged bullet.i swear these word as gospel honest.6 years ago in oz i'm in cong only about a year and tensions were running high due to a crazy old european bro ex elder who took no shit from the 10 apostles.i like him i don't know if it was the rebel in me or underdog syndrome but good guy 74years old he was.we just had this big sense the razor were getting sharpened.we arrive at thursday's night meeting my wife was at home so another big boring night i thought,was i wrong.the body has every mongrel breed.the three main characters were the italian dutch german,service committee.we start with song prayer ,the dutchy get up and says we are making adjustments to meeting tonight the arrogant bastard says only bible reading tonight then there agender.dutchy says.what is most amazing is these 10 idiots agreed to this changing of meeting program.
(these words are true)"we have a korah influence in cong and the 10 apostles have established an open judicial committee,the elders said there was evil in our mist .so to root out the evil if anyone has heard a bro say anything against any elders recently the are to report to the three stooges.well dutchy dims light and play the old prehistoric korah movie to the cong ,the bloody creation movie by russell was higher quality.
30 mins later german takes to the stage for the circus to begin.he repeats the dutch mantra ,well the publishers were looking at each other like it was north korea ,could have heard a pin drop,we are all thinking to ourselves we are all guilty of bitchin about the bastards .before meeting had finished halfway thru movie i rang my mate to tell him about "the burning "as the meeting became affectionately known.get home tell wife she don't believe me,within 2 days she believed.it was the talk of area.i had never rang bethel previously because i believed it was heaven and it didn't need my voice.next morning ring service desk in sydney and all i said i was concerned what took place at meeting last night .

Hi Chook,
Great story and welcome!
You were smart to bounce over to the next congregation. I have seen people do that here and it is a good preemptive move in a lot of cases.

Remote Translation Offices (RTO) of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Brokeback Watchtower inwhat do you think about these things.
it seems like a monumental waste of time and money, a pipe dream of the governing body based on wishful thinking.
this corporation is going down the tubes with these asshole deluded genius's calling the financial investment shot.. buying chemical dump property around the world to build their financial empire headquarters on while facing massive child molestation lawsuits now and many more in the future means it looking kind of bleak for these messed idiots running things.. http://jw-branchoffices.blogspot.com/p/watchtower-remote-translation-offices.html.

Wow, kinda glad I don't work for you - hard task master! hahaWell how about I work for you then? I like a boss with a sense of humor!
darkspilver
So that is the main point then. It is a real estate decision masquerading as a translating enterprise.Yes, they could, but probably not so effectively, or even so accurately.Remember, buying a property is a capital asset whose valve can be realised when sold and not a 'running cost' whose valve is lost.
That is the point of this thread, no?
As far as working in a closet or a basement, I still do not see how that would have any effect on accuracy.
Much of my work is done on my laptop or Blackberry not anywhere near a stick built building. I am the person in my business that would be the one in the basement or closet so to speak. Reason? I dont need it for what I do.
They (the Org) dont need it to translate.its real estate, pure and simple.
Its the whole shell game way they present it that is an insult to their contributors intelligence.
