  Survey: How long were you in the cult vs what year you were baptized

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw

  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  It is a loadabollocks, but it's an amusing loadabollocks. Back in the day we used to say that we didn't interpet the bible, we just accepted it as it is. I'm waiting for the next JW I meet to come out with something like that just so I can ask them what's their take on Matt24:34?

  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  Waves in Gravity detected, another lucky hit?

  by prologos in

  1. social
  2. humour

  gravity waves sound like a special kind of sound, so is this another lucky hit in the otherwise discredited bible?

  gen i: 3,6,9,"said" like in acoustics?

  note the subject area, and be objective.

  I don't understand half of what's been said here, and anyway, I don't like gravity, it gets me down.

  Not exactly a book, but in 1935 there was the 64 page booklet called "Universal War Near".

  It opened with the words, "Great events have heretofore come to pass which involved many nations. In the very near future a far greater event will come to pass and which will involve the entire universe. The war of 1914 was the greatest war up to that time. The universal war that is near will be far more stupendous, and only a few persons, comparatively, will survive."

  I meant "32 page bi-weekly" in the previous post. Although I am English, and in my 60s, I still live in hope that one day I'll be able to write the blooming language properly!

  "Its just money they are trying to save"

  I understand that pepperheart, as far as hard copies are concerned. But it doesn't cost anything to produce on-line magazines, at least, not much when the labour is virtually free. There is an up side to this for the average dub, they don't have to spend countless hours reading all that mind-numbing stuff the old 32-page bi-mothly magazines used to contain. I remember it being a real trial keeping up with the magazines when I was in, back in the 70s. No sooner had you managed to wade through one pair, when other pair would appear. Of course that was in the days when we used to sell the stuff, so naturally they would produce them by the lorry load.

  Sorry guys, I obviously missed all this when they announced they were numbering them rather than putting a date on them. So their public announcing tools have gone from bi-weekly to bi-monthly, and from 32 pages to 16, that’s a drop from 128 pages a month to just 16 – nearly 90%. And when you consider the lack of substance to these magazines these days, this shrinkage is probably over 90%. Nat and Freddie must be turning in their graves.

  If this were just down to cost, they could still produce 32 page bi-monthly magazines on line, with slimmed down hard copies once a month for their trolleys. Perhaps they just can’t think of anything to say. Or maybe the end really is just around the corner and they’re just winding down the witness work.

  Favourite Comedy Quotes

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i wanted to post a serious, profound quote in stillin's thread but my mind went blank and i'm pretty crap with serious quotes anyway, so i put a jokey quote from the red dwarf computer holly: .

  it's better to have loved and lost than to have listened to an album by olivia newton-john.. when a bemused lister asks why, holly replies "because anything's better than listening to an album by olivia newton-john!".

  this got me thinking, what are everyone's favourite comedy quotes?.
