  The rules of flame wars.

  by Mindchild in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you might find it interesting to compare the tactics below to some of the recent flame wars we experienced in the past on this site to see how easy it is to get sucked into this game and why it takes days to end.

  you can also see why it is pointless to play with those hooked on playing the game.. i took this information from this website but printed out the main ideas below:.

  i came here by chance...looking for none other than jw material:) i am currently studying with jw's and attend the kh but am not baptized, as are none of the members of my fam...yet.

  i've been studying for almost 4 years with the witnesses.

  i am confused...that's the simplest way of putting it.

  What if there was not DFing of apostates?

  by YoYoMama in

  2. friends

  i was wondering today.

  what if the witnesses did not have a policy of disfellowshipping those that are apostates.

  what would the congregations be like?

  Great comments here YoYoMother.

  As I see it, the problem for the Societymen in slackening thier iron like grip on the lives of the sheep is that they know the power of apostate thinking. They know doubts run deep and faith is shallow. They have seen how just a little contact with freed slaves can undermine years of hard indoctrination. They know that once one starts reporting less field service time and starts missing meetings they are on the slippery slope into inactivity. You can't be a Sunday JW. They fear thier God more than they love and respect him. They don't trust God much less thier fellow believers.

  you think it is poor taste?.

  Skeptic,

  Edwards suicide thingy was the funniest thing on this stuck up board in a very long time. (his using the caption: "suicide note" was disturbing is all)

  Suicide is a personal decision to take ones life, a right we all hold dear and something that has touched most of our lives. Pedophilia, rape and wife bashing are very different and involve hurting innocent defenceless others, a subject i have never seen joked about anywhere.

  unclebruce who sees suicide and accidental decapitation joked about on tv everyday. (usually in British sit coms)

  ***We have three or four guns and some knives, I think.***

  Is this genuine? Omah Bin Laden already bought America to it's knees with a handful of tiny knives think what he could do with a complete cutlery set.

  Why I'm Not a Dub

  by Farkel in

  2. friends

  why i'm not a dub:.

  we: maybe we cant solve all of the worlds problems, but weve already solved plenty of them so far, and there are a lot more we can solve if we give more of ourselves to help our fellow humans.. dubs: we cant solve all of the worlds problems, so why bother trying to solve any of them?

  well just sell books, and youd better buy them.

  i was in a bookstore trying to forget the day when my father called me and told me that my grandfather had died.

  he had passed only five minutes after we had left.. someone else was wondering what happens when we die.

  well, i was reading the chronicles on narnia (something i do when i'm feeling a little lost), and something at the end of the last battle caught me eye.. "the term is over: the holidays have begun.

  Hi Ashi,

  Grandpas spirit may be flitting about you right now. One school of thought says they do that to the ones they love. (a scarey thought when you're on the dunny or making love ;)

  I had a wonderful connection to several of my grand and greatgrandfathers. I fondly remmeber Fredrick Nightingales stories of life in rural Lancashire circa 1890 and the 'war photos' Len Forrester carried in his wallet of pretty girls from Tripoli to Papua.

  I hope to have a grandson one day so i can rabbit on about growing up way back in the 1970's.

  cheers, unclebruce.
