  Money... $$$$

  by lastmanstanding in

  oh the money.. this years rc gave me a thought as i watched the money pour in.. at the circuit assemblies, the one dayers now, the “deficit” has been announced and the dubs expected to “rise to the occasion” with their cash.

  we all thought that dubs, eventually, would do the math and see that the watchtower boys were charging a per-head fee.

  we thought that this would make them think, and they would see the money grubbing.

  Hi Carla,

  I'm not sure if it was Richie or someone else... it was probably 15 years ago or longer

  Moving Back to Chicago - Don't care

  my wife was diagnosed with ms about two years ago.

  we have been living in ohio for the last 5 years but were recently assigned to a new congregation because of the dissolving and sale of our congregation/kh.

  my wife's symptoms spiked after being relocated to our new hall back in january.

  Your wife's health must take precedence over anything WT related.

  They caused her stress, they caused the flare up of her symptoms. They SWINDLED money that you donated for your KH's upkeep, and then sold your KH right out from under you. They don't deserve your loyalty or hers.

  Give them the big fat FARK YOU, then go live the rest of your lives in peace. Don't give them another second of your time.

  When you move, find the local chapter of the MS society and attend the various events they offer. Go to the movies on cheap night. Take some cooking classes together. Just don't let the JWs in your area know who you are.

  Years ago, someone suggested that PIMOs write a fake check to stick in the contribution boxes.

  Things like

  Pay to the Order of: All the Victims of Your Two-Eyewitness Rule Amount: Your Just Desserts

  c/o Australian High Commission Signed: I'm on to you bastards

  How can you tell someone they have bad breath without offending?

  by James Mixon in

  2. friends

  i told someone and they became very angry with me.

  we have been friends for many years but lately his breath is eye burning.

  he is single so he doesn't have a wife to tell him, dear you need a mint.

  Here, have some gum. No, really: HAVE SOME GUM.

  Or maybe couch it in terms of concern. "Dude, I hate to tell you this, but your breath could stop a Mack truck. Maybe you need to check with your dentist to make sure you don't have an infection brewing in a tooth."

  If he's not your father, a Father's Day gift is not required.

  If you're looking on behalf of his child (your child together or his children from a prior relationship), make it something age-appropriate.

  Birthday gifts: Home cooking is always a great idea - I usually splurge on the best steak I can afford and bbq them (served with his favorite sides and a nice homemade dessert afterward). Our local gas station sells car wash cards that are good for 90 days (1 per day) and Mr Scully loves that.

  We can make Jehovah happy!

  by Sour Grapes in

  light travels at 186,000 miles per second and it would take light 25,000,000,000 years to travel across the visible universe.. with that in mind, the borg tells us that we can make jehovah happy or sad by the things that we say or do.

  i think that yhwh has bigger fish to fry.. so god watches and listens to everyone on earth so that he knows what emotions to feel.. the borg acts like they are the center of the universe and so do most jdubs.

  they are just a three ring clown circus..

  If Jehovah ever went to a psychiatrist, the advice he would be given is that it isn't anyone else's job to make Him happy, He has to make the choice to be happy regardless of others around Him.

  Doesn't it make your eyes all misty for the good old days when JWs, incited by Judge Rutherford to do so, would picket the Catholic churches in Quebec? Which, in turn, compelled the Catholics to contact the authorities and have those JWs arrested? Which is what The Judge™ wanted, so they could Legally Establish™ The Preaching Work™ as a fundamental religious right....

  It sounds like they know exactly what is happening in their congregations, and are digging their heels in, refusing to open their records to their government's investigations.

  "We have nothing to hide, so go away and leave us alone!" doesn't sound fishy at all.
