does anyone remember how the society joined the "disco sucks" movement of the late 70's?
i remember reading in the mags about how disco was created by homos and that it has an "immoral beat" (whatever that means!
) it was also mentioned not to go see "saturday night fever" because someone gets a blowjob in the movie.. in our congregation, we had a special meeting about disco because people would request disco songs at our once-a-month jw skating party at the local skating rink.
Wow, puffsrule! I was staying in Chicago that summer with my Grandmother, and I remember seeing this on the news. I was like, WHAT THE....?
I love disco. Until a few years ago I was a House D.J. Pretty much the same concept. Only most of the crowd I was spinning for was on Ecstasy.

I wasn't born till 1969
I was born in 1969 as well.
Strange, I was also born in 1969! The disco article led me to ask mom & dad what "oral sex" was?!

In our congregation, we had a special meeting about disco because people would request disco songs at our once-a-month JW skating party at the local skating rink. It ended up that the skating parties, one of the only social things I was allowed to do as a kid, were cancelled. THAT really SUCKED! Some rebel bros. and sister started their own, once-a-month skating party, but most of us were not allowed to go by our parents, just in case more disco music was played.

woman branded a hippo by internet date threatens to sue
a woman is threatening legal action after a man she met through an internet dating agency described her as a "hippo".. romanians nicoleta popescu and gabriel malinescu had their first date after two months of on-line flirting and phone calls.. nicoleta now says she's going to sue gabriel for emotional distress.. but he says she purposefully deceived him, claiming she weighs eight stone when he reckons she's much heavier.. gabriel, 33, from bucharest, told the national newspaper: "i expected to see a blonde, blue-eyed, slim beauty in front of me.
but what i got was a gigantic hippo.
Maybe 8 stones means whatever Mick Jagger or Keith Richards weighs x 8.
do all of you ex-jehovah's witnesses get upset when you are called an apostate?
you all call each other apostates, so why should you all get upset if i call you apostates?
if you don't like being called 'apostate', what title would you prefer?
APOSTATE: I am branded with the scarlot A as a stigmata and a warning to my former family and associates. I am now a disease - the walking dead! My shame is whispered about in quiet conversations in the corner of the Hall and in automobiles between return visits. My remains are fed upon by those I have cared for and loved as they gossip about me while feigning solicitude. How could I turn on my brothers and sisters as a traitor? I do not know, for I am posessed. I have become a hideous creature who can only survive on the blood of his next victim, the unwary weaker brother or sister that may fall prey to the sick and disgusting apostate ideas that have infested and eaten my brain.
Other than that, the word doesn't really bother me!
was russell a freemason and was he a member of the adventist church?
It does seem in this quote that Russell is just trying to relate to the Freemasons. As when JFK said "Ich bin ein Berliner".

Only a FOOL would quote ANOTHER FOOL
I am not quoting him. I simply posted a link to this research which you can examine and determine for yourself what you believe. The one you pointed out does seem to have the most flaws. Another page on the same site mentions that some of the information presented in that publication is suspect. I question what the extent Russell's association was with the Freemasons. I think there is a connection. The fact that Russell was an adventist was confirmed by the WTS.
Fool!
Avengers: the source of that scan would be helpful. How do you know these are Russell's words?
Mr. T (er.. AngryXJW) Simma down now. Just Simma!

this is a both a departure from the conventional paleo-hellenic concepts of logic to a primitive yet equally tenable principle of,'actions speaking louder than words', and a synopsis.. the wts is but one of many groups which are devoted to the disintergration of the traditional or biblical family structure, via nefarious means, as part of a greater plan that envisions a two-class new world order resembling feudalism.. .
the philosophic means to achieve this state is non-biblical.
the wts repudiates the christian principle of "loving your neighbour as yourself " by adopting an altruistic approach which demands to 'love your neighbour above yourself ".
spaz, can't you pick a persona and stick with it?

No, spaz, people here are actually quite open-minded. You are just getting that because people here also think you are a real nut-job.
Oh yeah, adieu!
