Challenges Facing the Watchtower Org
by eric356 inive been thinking about the future of the watchtower organization and the challenges it faces in coming decades.
its difficult to address the issue without allowing personal feelings affect the analysis.
many people seem to think that the society will collapse fairly soon, based mostly on the fact that the person dislikes the leadership or cant understand how others can believe the doctrine.

Toilet quandries: The seat: Up/Down and Toilet paper direction
by Terry inthose who have lived with the opposite sex know of the frustration of being lectured about some triviality.. the toilet seat/paper controversy is among the most inflammatory.. men who forget to put the toilet seat back down inspire anger, rage, resentment and the stern lecture.. the easiest solution is to train the man to always sit down when he goes.. .
others argue over the direction of the toilet paper: forward overlap or backward underlap.. .
how do you deal with these issues and how violent do you become?.

Comments on this thread bring this up, why do men insist on standing to pee in a toilet? I can see it at a bathroom at a gas station, but how about at home or someone else's home? Myself and most every one of my friends sit down to pee in those situations. Seems to be a no brainer if you have ever had to clean a toilet.

After reading all the comments about people and god's interaction with them, I just realized something. God has been speaking to me all along. And here I thought it was just my internal voice of reason. Foolish me!

JAHESHUA MISCHAJAH
by startingover inso for those of you who claim to be directly spoken to by this being, when you first heard the name did you ask him how to spell it?
i am having a hard time imagining how it's really pronounced, i guess i can figure out the first name, but the second one...when i try to say it i feel like i'm trying to say ms. zha zha gabor.. seriously, did he impart the spelling to you or did you have to ask?.

Cameo, thanks for the link to the Angels and Women page.
OTOW, I think you are on to something, it just seems too bizarre that in all of google land the name is only tied to those 2.

It really does sound like a sneeze when I try to say it.
As far as I know there are 2 on this board that have heard directly from this being. I sure would like to know about the spelling.

This thread has exposed some really sick people IMO. I'll leave it to you to decide who you are.

To the Household of Dog
by AK - Jeff into the household of dog, hades, and those who go with you... may you have smoke [on the water]!.
as you know i have, for many years now, related to you that i hear the voice of the dog shepherd, the smoked one of hades and vodka spirits, auhsehaj hajahcisim [abbreviated in the ancient texts as grim, a four consonant tetragrammaton meaning smoke, drunk, and savior].
over such years i have received many questions and comments, and engaged in various debates regarding the validity of that name and my translation of it's transmutations throughout the ages including several redacted engagements of the original name.

Shelby,
I find it a bit strange that you would post the above comments on this particular thread.
WS,
It would seem to me that when 2 people, and it appears to be only 2 people in the entire world, use a peculiar name for a being with the claim that this being spoke to them, seems to be it would be reasonable to think those 2 people have some kind of connection.
