  That was funny Jan,

  Thanks for sharing it with us. You know, if the Witnesses really want to go where the need is greater...maybe someone should suggest Afghanistan to them.

  congratulations eyebrow

  Little girls are so sweet. I know, I used to be one

  I agree with Comf 100%. Reading to my kids every night was one of the best things I ever did for them. As they grew, those became the times they would open up their hearts and talk to me about whatever was on their minds. It is a golden opportunity not to be passed up.

  wonder if this will catch on......... scientists rig up air conditioning system for underpants .

  german scientists have rigged up an air conditioning system for men's underpants.. doctors at giessen university near frankfurt wanted to prove men are more fertile if their crotch is kept cool.. they say the system increased sperm production in men suffering from low counts.. head researcher andreas jung says: "we have known for a while that heat is not good for sperm production, or the health of the sperm produced.

  now we have proved it.".

  Real funny Running Man

  We could get a whole line of those jokes going, but that might start another one of those "flame" wars...only this time it would be the guys against the gals. And for your info, if it came to that, we'd kick your asses! Right ladies?

  since our old cat died a few weeks before we moved house, liam has not stopped asking about it and telling us how much he'd like a cat.. i've just been out an got two 7 week old kittens... mainly white with tortoishell markings... they are adorable (i had to use all my manly tough powers to resist bringing all 5 home).

  the kids love them but i'm going to be very strict making sure they don't play with them... until i've finished

  I'm no psychologist....and I don't even play one on T.V.

  But I have observed that people who prefer cats over dogs tend to have certain personality traits. I'm not saying they're better than dog lovers...just different. Dogs accept you unconditionally...they even love you if you beat them! (not that I'm suggesting that) but a cat you have to work for their affection. And they're so fiercely independent. I love it.

  Anyway, in my book, a man who liked cats was always a man who could park his shoes under my bed anytime. Woohoo!

  Joke of the day:

  Pre-Nuptial Agreement
  A secretary for a foreign embassy was entertaining a wealthy foreign ambassador during lunch at a very expensive restaurant in uptown New York.

  The ambassador was so enthralled by the beauty and presence of this secretary that he asked her to marry him. The secretary was startled, but remembered that her boss told her never to insult foreign dignitaries, so she decided to let him down easy.

  "I'll only marry you under three conditions."

  "Anything, anything," said the ambassador.

  "First, you must buy me a 14-karat gold wedding band with a 72 carat diamond, along with a 28 inch studded matching necklace for our engagement."

  Without hesitation, the ambassador picked up his cellular phone, called his personal accountant, told him the instructions, and said, "Yes, yes, I buy, I buy!"

  The secretary thought that her first request was too easy, so she thought of a more difficult situation.

  "Second, I want you to build me a 58-acre mansion in the richest part of the Poconos along with a 40 acre summer home in the sweetest vineyards of France."

  The ambassador picked up his phone, called his personal broker in New York, then called another broker in France, and after his quick conversation, he said, "Yes, yes, I build, I build!"

  The secretary was very startled, and knew she must think of a final request that would be impossible to live up to.

  "Finally," she said. "I'll only marry you if you have a 10 inch penis."

  A sad face befell the ambassador, and he cupped his face in his hands. After weeping in his native language for a few minutes, the ambassador slowly lifted his head and said, "Ok, ok, I cut, I cut!"

  How Reliable is the WT Observer?

  by Pureheart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  sorry for duplicating this post.

  i made a mistake and posted on the wrong forum.. my question is, can we rely on the observer to give us accurate information on the jws.

  i ask this question because i have read many disturbing things about the society in its early beginnings.

  Gee Pureheart,

  First you question the validity of Cassi's post about her life and the horrible abuse she suffered, now you broadly question a site that offers facts about JW's.

  Kind of hard to believe your sincerity...at least on my part. You might have to report back to the brothers that your attempts to cause doubts among us has failed. Maybe you just don't get it.

  Everyone has already given you some excellent advice. I would only add that I agree while it is natural to be angry when you realize the lies you've believed your whole life...we all know that we don't respond to anger well, we just get defensive. So you can't talk about things that you get really passionate about...not yet.

  By asking her questions, and *gasp* encouraging her to think for herself, she will be able to make her own choice. Yes it is her decision, but you also have every right to try to help her see what it is she really believes. The trick is...to do it in such a way that she actually comes to the decisions on her own. Then you are not tricking or manipulating her like she is used to getting from the borg, even though she doesn't know it yet.

  Let us know how it's going buddy

  Funerals

  i haven't been to a "worldly" funeral...well ever that i can remember.

  all the funerals i have been to have been jw ones where they use it as another opportunity to preach to everyone in sight.

  they usually make a token mention of the dead loved one and then begin with the resurrection and earthly paradise and how you have to be a jw to get there.. today i went to my aunts funeral.

  Hi Xena

  I'm sorry about your Aunt sweetie. I am glad you were able to get a different perspective on funerals. I've only been to 2 non-JW funerals. Once when I was a kid I went to a relatives funeral, and I remember being so judgemental of everything they said and did, mostly because I was so afraid to be there. The minister did get the deceased's name wrong though...that was pretty tacky.

  Then last year I went to a funeral of one of my favorite clients...
  and the experience was more like you described it. Everyone shared their memories of this fine lady, the minister gave a very brief prayer and just mentioned her afterlife...that was it...no preaching.
  I found it refreshing, and a healthier way to say goodbye to someone and have some closure.

  Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
