he was a quiet one, mostly observing and sometimes addingto good conversation...drinking, eating, laughing, smiling and winking once in a while....well...near the end of the festivities there were a couple of items left on his agenda and the apostates had scattered back to the four corners... well, we made plans, and really, looking at him and me, one wouldn't think we had too much in common, or that there would be enough mutual interest to keep us talking.

i picked him up from the hotel in the morn and he was really jonesing for a tiffin, so catholic school girl and i took him to my place where he served us a right english tea, even if the tea was crappy...naturally i was not prepared, if it had only been beer he wanted...oops..anyway, i digress...his agenda included hitting downtown and the sights...we spent several hours doing that and talking the whole time...we actually had a lot in common and thought along the same lines on many things...after seeing the sights, we headed for a pub and a pint..i went to work a bit later and then found him waiting quietly and patiently for me afterwards....we went back to my house to see what you hooligans were typing, killed the wheat beer pr_capone had so lovingly provided, and he went home for his final respite in big d...deaming of apostate fun all round mateys....well its been a while since march, but it feels like only yesterday i was imbibing fine spiritual food and yummy steak with many of my fine colleagues...good times...good times...well lo an beyold mates...whot's in ye olde post frum royal mail taday?

Having a sense of humour is one of the best ways to make friends and make them happy. So I must have a sense of humour. Either that or they are after my money. Or my six wives. I hope it isn't the wives; they cost too much, and anyway, they always laugh at my jokes.

Check out Matthew 12:1-12

Hey, thanks DJ! That could prove pretty useful to show a JW that preserving life is No.1, even if an action appears to go against scripture. Thanks!

HAVE PEOPLE ONLY BEEN ON EARTH FOR 5000 YRS LIKE JW'S SAY?

by FreeofGuilt in

jw
friends

i was always taught in the jw religion, that humans have really only been on earth for 5000 years or so... there is so much evidence of the neandertherdal people, with scientists finding many skulls, bones, & such, but scientists date these bones 100 thousand-millions of years old... the society used to always add that carbon dating is not accurate.

i also noticed that jws never talked about the dinosaurs much... what do you think??????

---- kristine

You've got it all wrong, folks! OF COURSE the few old men who promulgated this nonsense back in Biblical times knew more about anthropology and science in general than today's scientists! Carbon dating, electron microscopes, computers...what a load of unreliable CRAP! Give me an imaginary friend who talks to me inside my head, jumbled chronology and, well, good old guesswork anytime!

John 1:1 - A "Sacred Secret" Revealed

by AGuest in

may you all have peace!.

i had opportunity yesterday, to peruse the thread entitled, "john 1:1 - good information" and there were some very... ummmm... "intriguing" responses.

some were very close to what is true; others, pure speculation.

SpannerintheWorks

Undisfellowshipped and Aguest,

Well, what do we have here? Two Christians arguing over what is interpreted correctly or incorrectly? There must be a reason why, wouldn't

you both agree? How about this. Please don't ignore it. Study it! :

A question for Sword of Jah

by AwakenedAndFree in

jw
friends

dear sword of jah, .

please explain to me this watchtower doctrine, which still stands today as a revealed truth from the faithful and discreet slave class revealed in 1935 still taught today: .

judge rutherford, representing the watchtower society announced in 1935 in a convention that the doors to heaven were shut down in 1935, and the gathering of the annointed class was accomplished in 1935. .

SpannerintheWorks

SwordOfJah! Can you please clarify?

Are you:

A. A complete and utter bullshitter, pretending to be adherent to Watchtower

policies and beliefs.

B. An on-the-fence JW, "testing the water".

C. Just another braindead, cerebrally-vacuous victim of the Watchtower?
