being considered an apostate by just about everyone in the circuit, and now, tonight i find that the neighboring circuit is talking of our apostacy as well.

(mind you we are not d'fd, nor have we d'ad ourselves.

Well, you know the old saying: "The only bad publicity is no publicity". My goodness, these people need to get a life!

ok, it started as an idea to make a jezebel such as was in the book of bible stories.

but then i did not have all the parts and my hair was tied down.

i threw in jack the ripper shoes and stockings, and a gypsy skirt.

Well phrased, IP. I found her "set" very interesting, too! LOL

Ha! I picked these as fake, almost immediately! The bra is not consistent with Phoenician fashions of the time, and the resolution of those photos is waaaay to good for the ninth century B.C. Be off with you and your forgeries!

That's absolutely uncanny! I was only thinking about him and his cockiness around animals this morning. I remembered a time he popped up amongst a group of lions in Africa and they all scarpered; he said he had an empathy with animals. Maybe with reptiles, but he's not empathic with cats; his wife had to don the gloves and remove the feral cat from the trap! I was just thinking this morning that his "sixth sense" with animals might one day fail.

Sorry to see him go, and from such a seemingly innoccuous critter.

All Those Creepy Files

have you ever thought of all those creepy files that the elders keep on wrongdoing?

how strange to have your sins written down and kept in a file somewhere.

do they ever dispose of them?

Stephanus

Interesting how the 'Tower keeps a record of sins, whereas the Bible says that, in certain cases, God Himself doesn't!

i had this book when i was a kid.

they don't write books like this anymore, and it is a shame!

it shows how to set up a home chemistry lab and do interesting and educational experiments.

Stephanus

It's good to meet other Chemistry Kids.

Notice there's no "girls" on this thread? LOL

Meat on Catholic Friday, JW equivalent?

by Fatfreek in

much of my jw time was in new bedford, massachusetts, a catholic dominated city.

i was a catholic turned jw.

recall that prior to vatican council ii it was a catholic sin to eat meat on fridays.

Stephanus

Was meat on Fridays really a mortal sin? I'd have it pegged as one of the lesser sins.

Sorcery is a Viable Pioneer Recruiting Technique

by KennyC in

"good sense stress", was the description of an elder for a circuit overseer's undue emphasis on the words "the children are helping mommy and daddy to...pioneer.... yes".

he said this during a talk of his in the early 1990's.

upon going to a pioneer meeting on that saturday and seeing him first hand using his hands in a circular motion around a pioneers face who was sitting too close in front of him, he stated "did you ever notice that little glow they have?
