  A great story, but with music and better costumes it could be even better. People love stories, don't they?

  There is a product still sold today called MARVEL MYSTERY OIL, which is not related to the 'miracle oil' of Golden Age fame, as far as I can tell.

  JW at work hitting on me!! (for real)

  by Free!! in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on another thread i mentioned i met some jws at work within the past 2 months.

  well, 2 of them became particularly interested and getting to know me (a lady and a guy) the lady is really nice, and the only reason i know she is a jw is because she mentioned something about no b-days or christmas and that was it... she has not tried to preach to me or anything.... .

  on the other hand... this young guy, well he is making sure he becomes my friend, asked me to be my fb friend and messages me everyday at work or on fb... now the funny thing is he told me he is a jw and about 3 times already he had suggested i read my bible (whenever i post status about being bored or unable to concentrate on homework), well yesterday he sent me a message that said "i would like to talk to you tonite, maybe we can hit it up" my reaction was .

  Jdubs can be pretty naive; I sure was.

  Maybe he doesn't mean "hit it up" the way you think he does.

  Tell him you'd LOVE to have sex with him, but he has to prove himself by walking thru the office with his pants down.

  That should clarify things. He'll be fired and asked to talk with the elders.

  Immediate accidental sex

  by rebel8 in

  1. social
  2. humour

  there was a thread here some time ago with a title something like this.

  it was about the wts' silly teachings about chaperones needing to be present every single moment to prevent couples from having sex, as though sex is something that happens instantly and accidentally.. i saw this today and thought of that thread.here for more.. *on 2nd thought....i am not sure the pics would meet posting guidelines...so click the above link.

  it's a few comic strips depicting silly scenes in which "immediate accidental sex" happened.

  Dear Penthouse,

  I always used to think that the stories appearing in your Letters column were made up, but this just happened to me...

  Is logic really the best way to decide things?

  by mankkeli in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that for many people, and i've noticed particularly for those coming out of religion, logic is held up as the ultimate tool for understanding the world, and non-logic-based methods are derided.

  but even for those who accept a certain amount of intuition, emotion or other non-logical elements in their decision making processes, there is still a pervasive norm priviligeing logical over illogical thinking.. .

  i question that, though.

  Logic is SO over-rated and blinds us to alternate dimensions and realities that are all around us.

  I used to use logic, and my life was dull and boring.

  Then I decided to "vitalize" a Magic-8 Ball by reading the Necronomicon to it in a special circumstance.

  Once vitalized, my M8B has become my sole source of guidance.

  Believe me, you haven't LIVED until you've made pancakes according to the directions of an M8B!

  Watchtower Quoted in a book about how to lie.

  by Sharpie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  link.

  the book is about basicly how to protect yourself online with identity fraud.

  this chapter had quoted good old theocratic warfare in how to not give people your ssn or any other information.

  The author of that book is a fellow named J. J. LUNA, who (in the earlier editions of his book, if not in the most recent) freely discusses his adventures as a JW missionary in the Canary Islands, where he had to practice evasion and escape from the local Catholic authorities.

  He has a website here where you can download the earlier version of his book: http://blog.invisible-privacy.com/

  or you can buy his book on Amazon.

  He's an interesting character, and unique in that he freely discusses what he learned about keeping secrets.

  I don't know if he's still an active JW. If he's not, I'll bet he'd be EVEN MORE interesting.

  I must admit, I sometimes wonder, what IF?

  by Greybeard in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what if the watchtower stuck to their guns and didn't change the "generation" understanding?

  when they came up with this totally ridiculous "overlapping generation" concept, i knew something was wrong.

  there are people still alive who lived in 1914 today, they could have stuck to their guns or went with genesis 6:3, "after that jehovah said: my spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh.

  It's a sign of intelligence that you occasionally challenge your own beliefs.

  The important thing is that, at the end of the day, you agree with me.

  The Watchtower Has A Legal Achilles Heel

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if the reports about eliminating city overseers are true, then i consider it more evidence that the watchtower's legal dept.

  is concerned about what may be their most dangerous weakness, namely circuit overseers.. they have a solid "chain of command" structure, no different from the catholic church.

  they have church authorities with defined rank leading directly to the governing body.

  Metatron,

  If you check Farkel's phone records you'll see that he was actually speaking to ME today when he thought he was talking to Ghod.

  But don't let that deter you; Farkel is a good fellow and I'm sure you would enjoy any conversation you have with him.

  For what it is worth, I vouch for him completely. As you know, I gaze down upon earth from the UADNA orbiting space platform, and therefore could not possibly be a crackpot.
