  Would I lie to you?

  by slimboyfat in

  given recent posts on the forum and discussion, maybe we could play this game: would i lie to you?

  in the uk we have this tv programme where minor celebrities tell weird or embarrassing stories about themselves and the rest of the participants have to guess if it is a true story or made up.

  when the others have voted then the person reveals if the story is true or false.

  I predicted a lottery number from a pattern, is the lottery NOT random or is random held to a universal force?

  i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.

  this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.

  i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.

  EOM,

  So, you picked those numbers right once?

  You know that happens a lot actually? Lotteries tend to be won by someone who guessed the correct numbers once ;-)

  Anyway, just pick them correct 20 times in a row, and you might be on to something.

  For my stories, everybody wins. They are both true.

  Why not one lie?

  I don't play the game by their rules anymore ;-)

  Also I couldn't think of a lie.

  And yes, I was ashamed of taken the WWW donation money. I was like 14 at the time. It was a really small amount, and I added it to my regular donations years later. Looking back, I should have kept all of it :-p

  I'll add more stories later....

  Unnecessary elaboration. The more someone embroiders a story, adding unnecessary details and irrelevant information, the greater the chance he or she is making it up.

  I always thought liars added more details than necessary... (This is not a clue either way BTW)

  Fishing and JW's???

  by lurkernomore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so i was just reading a thread and came across a completely new jw 'rule', that of not being allowed to go fishing!..

  at least it's new to me as i always enjoyed fishing as did others in my old congregation.

  anyone else heard of this or had this imposed on them in they're jw lives?.

  The 3 activities mentioned involve

  • Handling your stick
  • Playing with your balls
  • Getting your hands wet

  Now I will never be able to talk about golf or fishing in a decent way :-p

  Okay I'll bite with some less embarrassing stories:

  1. At school, I vigorously defended creation. It was always me and a Baptist girl against the rest. Didn't think it was embarrassing then, but looking back I could quote Rutherford: 'I really made an ass of myself'.
  2. When out in FS with my brother, we made a game who could make the householders close the door the quickest. Also pocketed some donations. And went to my brothers class mate to watch Highlander and listen to Massive Attack while pretending to do RVs.

  @Simon,

  Did you change anything with regards to the edit function? It works now, and AFAIK nothing changed on my side.

  many people tend to see patterns in data when in fact there are none.

  We are wired that way.

  Leaves rustle, so it must be a predator! Run (and survive and pass your pattern seeking genes to next generation).

  We exist, so the must be a creator! Pray (and stop thinking and pass your idiot ideas to next generation as truth).

  People not understanding true randomness, and wanting to see patterns everywhere is the one reason prayer 'works'.

  Also, loteries are for evil greedy people. I know coz the FDS told me so!

  @Fiiddler,

  There is hope for your daughter!

  • My brother DFed 20 ago
  • My mother inactive (apostate) 10 ago
  • My sister faking for 10 years
  • My little sis DAd 9 years ago

  I was so proud that I endured all that shit, shunned half of them, and stayed in the truth! Yay strong me!

  I was the only of 4 children who was still in.

  My family never pressured me (looking by, my mother and my sister both tried very gently to tell me TTATT once, but that didn't work back then). And now I figured it out all by myself.

  Everybody happy ;-D (except my wife and still-in-laws)
