Evilforce: Descartes was quoting from Plato. Now there is the place to begin, Plato's Republic. That brought new sight to my mind. After Plato then Goethe:
"As man is,
Such is his God.
And thus is God,
Oft strangely odd."

So these horrid pagan Egyptians who allowed a bunch of nomads to live with them had laws against murder! Who'd a thunk it. And Jah's people just went around slaughtering people they felt were ... I don't know...ingracious? I'd say that Moses was an upstart and an Egyptian magician. This was an obvious form of training which came in handy. As a royal Prince couldn't he have killed anyone he pleased --- oh no that's right they had laws against murder.
Blondie you always amaze me that you can go to meetings and not strangle someone ... As one of Jah's people it would be ok, really.

A Woman's Poem

He didn't like her cooking.
And he didn't like her snake,
Her biscuit was too hairy;
And not too easily slaked.
He didn't like his food to share,
With her 10 foot boa snake.
He didn't mend his attitude,
When she told him what's at stake.
She pondered for an answer.
She was looking for a clue.
When her boa jumped right up.
And hungrily, began to chew.
Edited to get this looking poetic. Edited again---damn pronouns! -

What does your name MEAN?
by RichieRich inwe all are identified by our names here on jwd.
some use their real names, and others pick a moniker that is their nickname or perhaps a few words from a song they like.. why did you pick your name?.

I know another sister no-more who got into stripping as an occupation. I don't think there's anything bad about that... but then I think prostitution should be legal and protected by a union (or something). I am not equating stripping with prostitution so no comments on that, ok.
Panda is a Panda either the Red Panda (photo is currently posted); or the more commonly known Giant Panda (whose photo I used to use).
Therese means reaper of the harvest or reaper of wisdom. I like the harvest because in cattle country beef is a harvest (sort've). It is pronounced like the French Therese (thanks Mom for making it hard to say); however it has the Greek and French meaning not the Latin and German meaning.

Smelly (you see you already have a nickname on JWD) , Whether or not you are a troll I am glad you have come to watch. Maybe even sharing this web address with some of your friends would be good too. Almost everyone on this discussion will allow for your antics. You see this place is for every opinion. And even when you are an apologist for the WTBTS; we remember when we were the same and will joke with you and show you patience until you're plumbed out of "answers." You probably already know this but people who have all of the answers are egomaniacal demegogues who in fact know far far less than they claim. Often an education will relieve these tendencies.
Please don't go away. If you have something to say then say it. If it's what you truly believe we will either read or ignore your threads. I will pass on this one bit of Coffee House philosophy: You are entitled to your own opinion but not to your own facts.

What Can You Tell Me About Scientology??
by minimus insince tom cruise has really pushed his "religion", i have to admit, i don't know much about it.
can you give some facts about it?

I think Tom Cruise is on an emotional high --- new young energetic fiance has accepted his religion ie., followed his mature lead --- he will procreate with this nubile actress and raise children to worship the volcano planted people. It's like when a JW gets rid of a non-believing spouse and marries some young hottie (I saw a sister in her 30s marry a 17 yr old and man did they ever become lovers of the JAH) See what blessings the true believers get!

Consolidated Guerilla Apostasy Tactics for 2005 District Conventions
by seattleniceguy inwe've had several very interesting threads going on about how those of us who are still on the inside can work to open the eyes of the witnesses at the district conventions this summer.
since people have been making scattered suggestions on scattered threads, i thought we should start a consolidated thread here that lays all the options out on the table for those that want to be a part of it.
here are the ideas that have stood out in my mind so far (please add any that i have missed): .

Hey while you write those fake checks... how about some genuine checks to support the websites you'll be advertising?
