15The KNOW-IT-ALL: what makes them tick?
by Terry inwe can hardly get through a week on planet earth without an encounter with a know-it-all.. this none-too-rare creature is ever ready to volunteer to enlighten us in our apparent ignorance.. the know-it-all tells us we are wrong (implying they are right) and sets us straight.
and the best part?
we can barely finish a sentence when the know-it-all corrects us!.

The Anonymity of Internet (or even sitting inside your car on the highway) brings out the rudeness simmering inside of some people.
Terry, indeed. But not you of course, right?
Religious people are perhaps the best examples of the worst know-it-alls!
You would never condemn a believer's testimony of what happened in their life after coming to Christ; would you Terry? I mean you have know way of knowing if it is false, and if true, that would be rude, right? I mean you'd have to be a know-it-all to do that , right?
I found the following statement of yours especially enlightening:
Everywhere I look people are running off at the mouth and insulting other, picking fights and hurting feelings unnecessarily. Yes, UNnecessarily.
Aww, it is sooooo cute when you blush.

Hemp,
Your welcome.
I guess the funniest parrot speech I heard was right after I bought out an aviary and was still setting up the pairs. My electrician friend was working late one night in the aviary and he dropped a metal tool and it made a loud noise on the concrete floor. A few of the birds started squawking and one of the greys said in a deep man's voise "Shut up Mo Fo's"! These were all breeders and were never pets. The culprit was never positively identified.
The weirdest thing I heard was with a pair of Yellow Nape Amazons that I had just purchased from out-of-state. Upon letting them out of their Pet Taxi after their long flight, one of them said in a perfect whiney child's voice, "Is it going to hurt?" The mate answered in an adult's voice and said, "Uhh Huh". They kept saying this over and over. I was dating this super sensitive young woman at the time that taught special needs children and she was with me to hear it all. It really creeped her out and she wanted me to call the police. I had a hard time telling her that is was just a bird, not a child. She knew it with her mind, but she couldn't get past the instinct to help a child in trouble. The parrot speech was that real.
I can just see me calling the police and then the birds don't say anything, and the cops start rolling their eyes at each other, and they put my name on some secret nut-case list.
For those of you that don't know, birds do not have vocal chords. The speech is really just a complicated whistle.

"You Will Be Objects Of Hatred" in the Kingdom Hall?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis injehovah's witnessses are inculcated how loving they are to one another through the magazines, platform talks, and back slapping among the "shiney happy tier 1" players.
there are those here, who have experienced hatred while attending the kindom halls.
how come this hatred is never touched on in magazines, why are we painted as "the most loving people on earth"?

Jehovah's Witnessses are inculcated how loving they are to one another through the magazines, platform talks
And the fruit of this incredible love of magazines and talks can be seen in wrecked lives of many of the children of JW's.

What is the Gospel of JW's in a Nutshell?
by Perry inlet the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel of the kingdom done by the religious systems of christendom during all the centuries with that done by jehovahs witnesses since the end of world war i in 1918. they are not one and the same kind.
that of jehovahs witnesses is really gospel, or good news, as of gods heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his son jesus christ at the end of the gentile times in 1914.

“Let the honest-hearted person compare the kind of preaching of the gospel of the Kingdom done by the religious systems of Christendom during all the centuries with that done by Jehovah’s Witnesses since the end of World War I in 1918. They are not one and the same kind. That of Jehovah’s Witnesses is really “gospel,” or “good news,” as of God’s heavenly kingdom that was established by the enthronement of his Son Jesus Christ at the end of the Gentile Times in 1914.” - (Luke 21:24) The Watchtower 5/1/81 p. 17 par. 3
Notice that the date of 1914 is included in the “gospel” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Have you read Athiests book of bible stories or similar and still believed the bible is the word of God?
by jemba ini had never questioned things in the bible.
i often thought something was strange considering jehovah was supposed to be so loving.
but never thought to see the bible as anything other than my jw upbringing taught me.. i now think the bible is a bunch of fairytales and have a whole lot less respect for the creator... if there is one..
