i remember hearing stories as a kid that john denver would ask all the witnesses present at his concerts to stand.
and, then after they stood, he would play the national anthem.
any truth to this?
i posted on this before, search for my thread (i'm not doing the work), where i relate a story on smurfs, to teach a lesson on listening to gossip
i went to 4 JD concerts in my life, he never the national anthem thing.
i "DO" know he had a strong dislike for people who didn't vote (some public service announcement commerical on tv; which i seen and heard with mine own two ears & eyes).
BTW, what was the last thing JD said?
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
for those of you who may not be aware of who bobby is better know as "you know".
allow me to share some things about this man that may help to shed some light on his mindset as a jw.. one of the most important things i have found when dealing with "loyal" jw on the net is to find out thier status with in the org, esp if they are male- .
you see this organization is a "position" driven organization, esp for males and if they have no position within thier local congo - other than mike handler after being a jw for years then that means in most cases the male jw is considered a flunky- we have seen guys as young as 17 being appointed as ms-.
so i'm a flunky now too? because i refused to kiss the ass of the WTB&TS? i never attained MS or E. i never partook though, or claimed anything in that respect, but to be a great big pile of shit in their eyes. people who can't think for themselves.
i have all the lexicons and expositories, etc. to make my comments have more meaning (i haven't made a comment in over 3 years and have only attended once in that time). i even got to be pretty good at reading greek. i could read the whole 1st chapter of john entirely in greek as well as other NT passages, and understand it (all without using the WTB&TS pubs or interpretations). started with hebrew, but gave it up, as well as the greek about 6 years ago because of other obligations, not to mention, what was/is the point. i was on my way to becoming another Freddy Franz, i guess. a self described scholar. hey at least i could identify the letters Alpha and Omega in greek.
but you are right, and i realize that if a person (a man, of course) doesn't make it to the status of MS, in my estimation, a maximum of 2 years they are considered spiritually immature, by the WTB&TS. but getting to be a MS, E, CO, DO, BO, ZO (get it? BOZO), and even GB is about kissing ass.
JT, do you, or have you ever, believed in God or the bible?
what kind of questions am i gonna get asked when i go to get reinstated?
how hard is gonna be?
the converse of this:
i knew a guy that studied, brillantly for @3 months, got baptized then got himself DF'ed @month after that, just so the Jdubs would leave him alone.
back to baconyou already know how to get famous movie stars back to bacon.
now get yourself back in 5 steps or less.
i can do this several ways.
what about shaking hands with Kevin Bacon?
what kind of questions am i gonna get asked when i go to get reinstated?
how hard is gonna be?
metaphorically and allegorically speaking, two things:
"will you suck my/our proverbial dick/s?"
"will you kiss my/our ass/es?"
if you can do those two things your're in
i've been collecting the complete set of episodes and was watching one the other day and wanted to ask the folks here from the uk a question about it.. it was "royal episode 13".
the sketch at the end was john cleese going to the undertaker's (graham chapman) with his dead mother and graham chapman looks in the bag and says "fred, we've got an eater here, get the oven on".
the audience starts yelling and rushes the set and the program ends.
It was staged
read/see the book it's been a while but I believe they do mention something about it.
Monty Python Speaks by David Morgan (Editor)
I believe they only changed one thing in the entire shows history.
one about a guy that got a spot on his face and they wanted to say it was cancer (at the time though it was too sensitive a topic) so it was voiced over and it said "gangreen."
.
if there is no aging in paradise earth,expail something to me.. one of the reasons we age and die is because the mitochondrial cells convert items(food???
) into energy,this produces free radicals/toxins which damage the cells,the cells have to produce these toxins to do their work.. in a paradise earth,how will the body produce the energy without damaging the body's cells.. i am interested in any answers.. .
since meat is out that cuts out a lot of free-radical creation.
i thought aging came about by the shortening of chromosomes, eventually the cells die because over a life time each subsequent creation (over time) of the cells there is chromasomal damage (shortening). If the don't shorten, they don't die, which is essentailly what cancer does.
If a way could be made or developed to control that replication of the cells not to turn cancerous and therefore life threatening, you would have immortality.

sunday:.
walk to bus (10 blocks or so).
are you sure the prayer wasn't lip synced?
if Madonna can lip sync than why not Sydlik?
maybe they will in time, or maybe they have already.
I heard that Milton Henschel can't talk anymore, so why not use lip sync for him?
pardon my ignorance, having never been a jw, but what do jw's do on the fourth since they don't believe in flag and country?
can they go to friend's bar-b-ques?
is it ok if they go to a parade or firework display?
generally watching fire works, or picnics, etc. is not deemed wrong in itself; however, if the appearance is that you are participating in the 4th of July then it could be construed that you are a patriot like everyone else. therefore, it is the appearance that you give others that makes it wrong.
...but then we all know that JDubs aren't human and can't be amused by things that amuse others of the "world"
so how small does your "pee pee" have to be to stoop to bashing america on a jw support board?.
feeling rather put upon for america's sake, living in new york city, feeling like bashing in the brains of anyone who says that americans going about their daily routines "brought this (9/11) upon themselves".
i will always remember the day i looked out my window at work and saw over 3,000 people dying..
We all know that America has the friendly bombs.
Go tell that all those poor little "JAP" children, when their world ended with the dropping of those 2 "friendly" American Atomic bombs.
Tell that to the American JAPS whose homes were taken away from them in WWII.
Tell that to all the blacks who have been lynched and who used to be regarded as 5/8's of a man. How demoralizing.
Bashing America? "America" demonstrates that the rights of others are walked all over by the power structure that is still primarily a "superior" white european no shit on us attitude.
And God bless America? Why should God bless America? Why not Rwanda? Shouldn't God bless humanity?
Look at the number of crimes and murders in the USA sure don't tell me God is blessing America. God appears to be blessing Canada and Briton more than the USA where the number of gun related deaths are drastically lower.
