like new zealand the uk will shortly hold it's 10 year census.. rumour has it that if 10,000 people say they belong to a certain religion, ie "jedi", then that religion is officially recognised by the state.. is it my devious mind, or do i see an opportunity for a bit of fun here?.
is this the one time that a chain email could be useful?.
and what would get the uk dubs hot under the collar?.
umm.. sorry to throw water on the fire...
but the Australian Census Board has said that these emails informing of this information are incorrect, and that it would take alot more than just a quantity of people stating "Jedi" to form an official religion. They take into consideration the beliefs, type of worship etc. Despite being a governmental office, the guys aren't complete fools, lol.
Don't you think these guys would have received these emails in their in-boxes too?
when a girl reaches the age of puberty or physical maturity, her.
body has developed in the matter of sex more than in the mind.. young folks like to be together, first in groups, later in twos.. if they have not been instructed by their parents in regard to the.
permitted, because the female is not in physical condition to breed.. the bull seems to understand this and keeps in his own place.
If the boy friend should become sexually aroused and lets
her know it and then she yields her body to the advances of the
amorous boy friend,
okaayy... no mention here that the female could be/would be sexually aroused or that SHE might be the one that makes the sexual advance!!
Prisca, still chuckling over "and lets her know it" - lol...
having been an infrequent visitor at best over the past few weeks, thought i'd write and let you know how i'm doing.. first of all, let me say thank you to all of you who have written to make sure i'm ok.. i was hoping not to develop a pregnancy migraine, but i got it.
i had it for almost a month with eden, and it's going on three weeks now.
i have barely been able to keep up with work.
Glad to hear form you again, but sorry to hear about the migraines, I know what they can be like.
Hope all goes well with the rest of the pregnancy.
evenin' all,.
i'm feeling a little disappointed with my jw pal, the dub in the pub.. we were having a good conversation over a few beers, and i actually got him to admit that he couldn't see the connection between the parable about the fds and the 144,000 any more than i could.. yes, yes, yes!
i thought, now we're talking!
Some considerable ribaldry was also taking place re how many of our sheep the US could drop on China before they got irked by it.
Well, they dropped a plane onto China and the Chinese weren't too happy about that!
lol...
my word it does.. when i started studying with the witlesses all of my family and inlaws deserted me for following a stupit cult.
my wife divorced me and my children won't talk to me.. that's ok because according to jdubs that proves it's the truth.. as i progressed in "the truth(tm)" all my friends started to abandon me because i was always going to those booring meetings.. when i found someone i liked in "the truth" and started associating with her, some of my witness friends tried to break up the friendship.. ie break up another family before it even starts.. after i married her without getting the elder permission, some of my jdub friends tried to df me, to show how much they loved me.. when they failed to df me some of my witless friends decided to shun me anyway even though the elders pronounced us no guilty.. i should have sued the bastards for slander.
today i'd just give him (the instigator) a good hiding.
{{{OlderTom & Mrs OT}}}} - is that classed as a group hug?
Sorry the bad feelings are still there. They are definitely wrong in their treatment of you.
And know what? Having met you and Mrs OT, I would have to say they are missing two very nice and caring people. Their loss is our gain.
told by the elders yesterday that since i'm a official at a sports match on saturdays and i won't quit doing it (they mention it occasionally to me at meetings), that they won't be allowing me to get baptised the next assembly coming up.
it might matter if i was working 5 days a week but at the moment i'm only working 2 days......(i've already racked up 50 hours this month).
i remember a talk a while back with the theme "what prevents you from getting baptised?
Hi there AK.
Sorry to here about the elders bugging you. What problem do they have with you being a sports official? Mixing with the world too much?
i have read the various posts here an i have my own story to tell i amstill a witness not as active as i used to be but stillfaithful i think the main problem that jws have is that they put c.o's m.s's elders and the like on pedestals and when you do that you set yourself up for a letdown and when that person does something you dont think is right you are letdown but one should not let this block his/her relationship with jehovah.
Chris,
I just want to say I am sorry that the elders were so harsh on you when you stopped pioneering. You did what was best for you and your circumstances. Jehovah knows that. The elders had no right to judge you.
If they raise the issue ever again, ask them "where in the Bible does it say that pioneering is better than regular witnessing? Where does it say I will earn my salvation by putting in 70 hours per month?"
More importantly, Chris, what are your answers to these questions?
i resisted posting this on the "main" page, trying to comply with the division of posts that simon is encouraging.
(no thanks necessary, simon, just following the rules.).
well, i finished my dinner a little while ago and whilst i was tidying up the kitchen, i noticed that i had received my 5/15/01 issue of the wt.
Excellent points, Michelle - very funny
I agree, Gopher, they should have provided the link to this site!
i thought, perhaps, that the link to the court case in missouri where a brother allegedly confessed the rape of his two stepdaughters to two elders in the cabool, missouri se congregation, and where the said elders are refusing to testify due to "minister-communicant confidentiality" should be posted here: http://www.ky3.com.
(coming on the heels of the memorial non-partaking for the vast majority of witnesses and friends "minister-communicant" seems a rather out of place term, doesn't it?).
outnfree
I clicked on the link but couldn't find the article. Perhaps it's been moved for more recent news articles?
