  i was just pondering how the wts has, for over a century, been able to convince people to do what is contrary to their best interests with fear tactics that armageddon is coming soon, and i came up with what is going to be my pet phrase for a while:.

  "only religion has the power to compel people to embrace sheer stupidity in the name of faith.

  " ~ scully, december 28, 2006. i googled it, and didn't see that anyone else has claimed it, so until someone else finds an attribution for it, i'm claiming it as my own.

  Stephanus - logic is man talk.

  Last time I looked, I thought I was a man...

  A woman asked the question and maybe it wasn't following the rules of logic, but she still wants to know what is intimidating about women in general from men in general,

  You lot don't scare me!

  just to give her some ideas about her situation. It might not apply, but it might help her understand something.

  Not sure now, given my awareness that I may have Asperger's, and that that knowledge now influences how I perceive my perceptions, but when I was younger, I remember being extremely intimidated by the fact that women travel in packs for protection.

  Let me get this straight; from:

  Okay, so a guy friend told me I was intimidating.

  One man found YOU (one woman) intimidating.

  What exactly do guys find intimidating about women?

  Therefore men are intimidated by women.

  Forgive me, but I don't follow the logic.

  Why do apostates lie about where they get their information?

  by slimboyfat in

  2. friends

  it does no good.

  i don't understant it - who do they think they're foolin'?.

  i have just been listening to the judicual committee that disfellowshipped rick and laverne townsend and it is cringeworthy, to say the least, to listen to them cover-up, distort and outright lie about the sources of their information and the real background to their dissent.

  When they fight fair, so will I.

  V has articulated the most potent answer to slimboyfat's mischievous questions...all the stronger for being expressed in fewer than ten words!

  Barry Dawson is the martial arts teacher at the Cougar Arts Federation. Here's his take on how to win a fight:

  Barry says, "A lot of kids come into our school because they're wanting to kick someone's arse. I don't teach that. I usually instruct that you should kick the knee or groin. Then, when they're on the ground, rolling around, you can consider the arse."

  Man! I thought from the title that you'd caught something important in your snowblower! And then had posted it in "Beliefs" instead of "Medical".

  But the pain of family not getting it just sucks. Maybe one day they'll get it, and you'll be there for them.

  In the mean time, there's cows to relocate, huskies to entertain and a cat trying to get his shut-eye.

  Some people are just cringey, i guess. Or, maybe it's a fake cringe in order to look puritanical, or pharisaical.

  It's very hard to create an atmosphere of serious discussion, when the bait put out is so obviously loaded and emotive. Words like "apostates", "lie" and "cringe" hardly pave the road for a friendlydiscussion. Come on, SlimJim, you've implied "all" apostates are cowardly. Show them how it's done and bravely confront the Eldership at your local with the fact that you've been reading apostate sites. Show us whimpy ones what it is to be a "Real Man'!

  What is the real reason witnesses ceased phongraghs and radio broadcasts?

  by Tyrone van leyen in

  1. watchtower

  it would seem that for its day using the available tecnology was a progressive move.

  did the society just decide one day in a watchtower that it was all wrong.

  how did everyone that had to do this work react.

  Here in Canada, we can thank JWs for the existence of the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

  Seems a strange reaon to be thankful. I can still remember Wayne and Shuster...

  Steph..I didn`t realise I posted under medical..LOL!!..Satanus sent me an aerodinamicly correct cow..Get out your big baseball mitt and stand out on your porch. I`ll fire it out of snow thrower,you catch it..LOL!!...OUTLAW

  There could be a slight problem Outlaw - we don't have baseball mitts here - they haven't been invented! The closest thing is the gloves Wicket Keepers use in cricket...

  I was also wondering why you posted under "Depression. I thought it might be about the big hole you leave in a snowbank after you've been using your new-fangled snow blower!

  As for those Aerodynamist Cows, I think Australia may have the world's largest population of those, so one more shouldn't hurt. He might prefer the warm weather, too. Although he might not like the drought so much...
