For most of it I was absolutely bored out of my mind.
Highlight was the Queen and James Bond- until she got in the helicopter.
Rowan Atkinson's bit. He just makes me laugh!!!
And the lighting of the copper petals was magnificent.
Was very disappointed with Sir Paul's performance. Very non-climatic. (Sorry- Band on the Run and LWT

a pioneer said to me: " i can't wait to be persecuted!!!".
that kind of thinking is absolutely fanatical.
Recently. a pioneer said to me: " I can't wait to be persecuted!!!"
That kind of thinking is absolutely fanatical.
The pioneer said this not long after the visit from the C.O.
What crazy, outrageous, or fanatical comments have been uttered to you by a JW?
uzbekistan deports jehovah's witnessesrussian citizen yelena tsingalova and her two underage children were deported from tashkent on 25 july.
she described the uzbek authorities' move as "persecution for religious motives".. .
the forum 18 religious news service said that the interior ministry's migration services department launched the deportation process on 8 march.. .
religious intolerance. nothing unusual for Uzbekistan. I feel bad for her disabled mother.
this well-reasoned youtube video explains it all.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwjm5d9m1lm.
it seems that, in my haste to scrutinize the teachings of the governing body and see whether they are actually in line with bible teachings, i have overlooked one important factor which indicates that they really can be trusted as those "taking the lead" in god's organization..... ...apparently, their weekly meetings sometimes run past 5 o'clock!!
i would like to apologise for any undue criticism i may have levelled at the governing body on this forum or elsewhere.. if i had been aware of the above information, i would obviously have been far more willing to humbly accept their leadership.. .
I wonder if they've prayed long and hard for all the children who have been sexually abused by JW elders.
Oh, no, I forgot. They are too busy praying long and hard for the JW perpertrators who have abused rhose children.
Oh, yeah and they also pray long and hard that the donations keep rolling in so that they can continue their busy work of praying long and hard.
(But mostly on Wed. from 8"30-6pm and sometimes after 5.)
is it possible to criticize wt concerning questions of consience for a witness?
for instant concerning education?
love healthworker.
But in practice, it means believing or questioning anything the organization currently teaches (which is subject to change of course, but only by them, not by you).
Try to have a nice day!
OODAD!!!!!!!!! That's it exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there are a lot of interesting people that frequent this site.. sometimes, we get an idea of what the posters are really like in "real life".
and i'm sure i could be easily surprised by some that you think might be strong personalities because of their board presence, and in reality, they might be shy in a face to face setting.. i would enjoy meeting simon.
simon used to be terribly annoyed by my posting and now i think he's accepted with tolerance my being here.. farkel seems like a grouchy cantankerous fellow but i think he'd be very interesting company!.
I would like to meet everyone that woke up and broke their chains of bondage from the slavery of the WTS!!!
And everyone here that continue to offer encouragement and support to all those "Awakening" to the Truth about the Truth.
And to all of those who so kindly Welcomed me to this forum. And all those who make me laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But not all at once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you like sublims, there are alot of them at: watchtowerlies.com/watchtowerlies_019.htm including the one posted by cedric1er
memories!
i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..
i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.
kurtbethel- I have one and you are welcome to it. (I tried to send a PM but encountered errors.) Let me know.
why did you become a jehovah's witness ?.
initially upon entering the religion what were the positive things you experienced ?.
how did that particular way of thinking both benefit and harm you ?.
I believed it was the truth.

sherman hemsley, whose cantankerous george jefferson cracked up millions of faithful tv viewers each week, first going toe-to-toe with archie bunker on all in the familyand then sparring with his beloved weezie on the jeffersons, has died.. the sad news was confirmed by police in el paso, texas, where hemsley lived while not working in los angeles.
no immediate word on cause of death, which was originally reported by tmz.. the emmy- and golden globe-nominated actor was 74.. .
He's with Ouisy now!!!
Dagney- you took the words out of my mouth!!!
Sherman Helmsly was so funny
He was also on the show "Amen" and played a Deacon.
I think the only one still alive is Florence (marla Gibbs)
