do you prepare for meetings?
if i go i spend a few minutes underlinging my books/watchtower.. i have noticed that those who do the micks especially notice when your stuff is not underlined, and comments are made after the meeting, not so gentle hints, about study and preperation!
in other words i am being told off, its usually the ones who are highly critical of everything i do, sometimes their whole family seems to be straining to see if my stuff is underlined, i know this because i heard the daughter to family wisper her watchtower is not underlined!.
The resident window cleaning MS stumbles his way through a paragraph in a monotone.
A strikingly obvious question is asked and then 4 different people give the same damn answer in slightly different terms, which is then followed by the study conductor repeating the already much repeated answers to make sure we all get the point.
They want everyone to prepare for this? Bash me over the head with something, that would be the perfect preparation.
to all our english folk out their buy your kids a cricket bat for christmas.. the aussies have declared on their second innings with 504 runs ahead the last over giving the aussies 28 runs.. alister cook was out for a duck on the first ball of the english innings bowled dby brian harris.. i think we might have the ashes back sometime tomorrow anyway england enjoy your christmas..
How good was that today. Bailey hitting 28 runs in one over off Jimmy Anderson. That first ball from Ryan Harris that bowled Cook was an absolute Jaffa.
What did Ian Botham predict? 5-0 series to England? Nice one.
is there an official name for the comedic device where one replaces one word with another word having a similar pronounciation but a different (usually derisive) meaning?.
for example, some skeptics deride the bible by spelling it "buy-bull".
same or simliar pronounciation but entirely different meaning.

I believe the song was originally Bob Dylans. That self titled RATM album was all covers.

okay, the smoke has cleared.
everyone's dead who had it coming and the remainder find that their bodies have been changed.
no more disease, no more aging, no more human weaknesses and the weather is perfect.
Fruit platters as far as the eye can see. They will need to appoint people over said platters and have spiritually mature bros take the lead in distributing the fruit.
have you ever seen lars and the real girl?
very funny, odd sense of humor.
have you seen rare exports?
Eagle vs Shark. It's a New Zealand film. I thought it was pretty funny, it is definently odd.
i suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.
i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.
(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.
"Modified truths" is good, but here are some of my favorite expressions that the WTS has used in describing the false things they use to teach as truth....
"past truths"
"cherished errors"
"formerly cherished views"
"an expressed opinion"
So to use another WT expression, you could say "The Truth" = "inaccurate concepts".
What can I say, I am just not humble enough to accept "The Truth".

Stay off this board you hypocrite.
Learning the truth about "the truth" wasn't an enjoyable experience for me, and either is trying to fade while my family are held hostage.
Your head is stuck up your self-righteous JW arse. If you ever successfully dislodge it, come and join us as we wallow in our freakish apostate misery.
Oh and one more thing.... Praise Satan!

Headship, Headship principle.
Theocracy, Theocratic arrangements.
This system, the wicked system, Satans system.
