Damn! With those prices they could almost compete with Microsoft.
I like the line about calanders, they said 'sell for 5$' . Ooops. Guess they ran out of ways to say "donation".
.
just a quick question.
anyone have a reference in the kingdom ministry where the society suggested a donation [i think it was $60.00] for the cd roms?

life, what a strange and wonderful thing she is.
here we are 2:30am in the morning, the kickoff between england and brazil starts in only 5 hours time, you walk out of a mates house after watching the news, usual warring factions, israel and palestine, india and pakistan ad finitum, (why they can't just play cricket, i just don't know), then the other bit about the arabic conversations taped on the 10th of september, not deciphered until the 12th, and whatknot, well, like i was saying, walked out my mates house and spent the next several minutes chasing this white bunny rabbit up a steep hill, (which had obviously escaped from someones garden), i thought, england win, england lose, someone in the morning is going to be upset either way.
i get home and am on the phone to the police telling them (just prior to the all important football match) that this white rabbit is heading for marlborough road.
You sure it wasn't a pink elephant?
a little test: .
the weakest link....... here is a very simple little test comprising of four questions to determine the level of your intellect.
answer: if you answered second-last, once again you're completely wrong.
Why is the runner "lying" in second place. I would have stopped to see if he/she was okay.
this evening, i received the following email unsolicited from a jehovah's witness who mass mailed me this garbage.. .
subject: contempt for the flag?.
the next time some jehovah's witnesses interrupt your dinner, you might consider thanking them.
I love how they tout the principles of the U.S. constitution when convenient. For ones despising government of men, they sure do like its benefits. Good thing they also have no regard for those who fought and died to protect their freedom of speech.
i know, i know, the jws love to boast about ``honoring jehovah'' and having ``restored the divine name to its rightful place.
'' but my question is: is such casual off-hand use of the divine name really respectful?
i mean, the vast majority of us well know the names of our parents; but just how respectful would it be to go around referring to them as ``harry'' and ``alice?".
YHWH = Jehovah
what brings a smile to your face?
i cant help but smile when my wife laughs, or when my kids play outside.
i also smile when my boy, who is 15 wants to talk to me.
Wild Turkey has made me smile a few times. So has Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, and Crown Royal.
a born-into-it teenager or maybe someone in their early 20's, gets df'd for an unspecified offence.
later the df'd person protests that df'ing is unscriptural and inhumane, only to be told "you knew the score, you knew what would happen, it's your fault".. but is it?
maybe it might be fairer for a converted person to be df'd for breaking the rules, after all, a converted person has joined the jw's willingly and has therefore accepted the witness rules.
Affirmation from another born-and-raised. Belief systems are formed upon information we gather. If all that we gather from infancy is JW doctrine then all of our decisions will be based upon those "facts" as we have come to know them. There can be no "choice".
Children are told what to think and how to feel about religion and then life in general. There is little choosing involved. There is only the choice to please or not to please your parents (and therefore God).
Not just the Dubs, I see the same thing in the LDS church, Islam, Baptists, any fundies.
The discipline may even harsher for born-and-raised since members may take it more personally after having watched us grow up in the org. then reject it. We were so "fortunate" to have been born right into the truth and practically had salvation thrown into our laps. To turn away when we get older probably stings those who held out so much "hope" for us, especially parents.
