Love it, jgnat!
From stone tablets incised by God himself to a plastic, loose-leaf binder.
How the mighty have fallen!
our congregation is rationing regular bibles like they're gold bars.
i was told that bethel is out of stock!

" Did Jehovah change his mind ? "
That old bastard is always changing his mind. Hence the erratic "new light."
Hey, that's what the WTS should call their new Bible -- The "New Light" Translation. It'll come in a loose-leaf binder. That way, as the new light wavers, dims, blinks, and weaves (as new light always does), the dubs have only to replace the defective page (for a fee) in their Bibles with the F&DS's updated knowledge (as directed by the aforementioned bastard).
Are you listening, gb/fds/new-light du jour? Here's a great idea for you. I'm giving you a gem here.
You're welcome.
okay, online, many jws use the line that if you have a question about a ford, you wouldn't go to a toyota dealer.
they use this to say "only jehovah's witnesses can answer questions about jws.".
i can swear that there is some version of this statement in a watchtower publication.
JeffT:" If I wanted unbiased information about Ford products I wouldn't ask a Ford dealer either. "
Funny! And so true.
with all this serious talk about aawa, i'm missing the good laughs i got from aunt connie.
where did she go?.
She's probably still stewing about all the once-a-year attendees that crowded up her Kingdom Hall at the Memorial.
Maybe she's planning her next diatribe. Can't wait to read what it will be.
criminal damage to jehovah's witness building in felpham .
23 april 2013. .
police are appealing for witnesses after the jehovah's witness kingdom hall, flansham lane in felpham was subjected to religiously aggravated criminal damage overnight between thursday 11 april and friday 12 april.
The local dubs there are probably throwing a celebration/clean-up party:
"See, we're being persecuted! Jehovah and his slave were right! This may be the start of the great tribulation! Yipeeeee!"
opinion is a matter of personal taste and preference.
(vanilla ice cream and not pistachio).
but, fact is not.
The gull believes everything.
The cynic believes everything is evil.
The skeptic reserves judgment until he is sure.
we've all heard the saying, "everybody is entitled to their own opinion--but--not to their own facts.".
we all have our own idea of what is tasteful, what is funny, what is fair and all that is called our opinion.. but, when a group of self-important men start demanding our loyalty because they represent god's truth---what prevents.
us from saying politely, "well--that is just your opinion"?.
From "The Big Bang Theory":
If you're not familiar with the comedy series, Sheldon is a theoretical physicist working at CalTech in Pasadena. Leonard is an applied physicist at CalTech and Sheldon's roommate.
Sheldon [having gone back home to Texas over a job crisis] [speaking to Leonard]: "No, this is my home now. Thanks to you, my career is over, and I will spend the rest of my life here in Texas trying to teach evolution to creationists."
Mrs Cooper [his hair-raisingly bigoted born-again mother]: "You watch your mouth, Shelly. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion."
Sheldon: "Evolution isn’t an opinion. It’s fact."
Mrs Cooper: "And THAT IS YOUR OPINION!"
Sheldon [to Leonard]: "I forgive you. Let’s go home."
Mrs Cooper [smiling, to Leonard]: "Don’t tell me prayer doesn’t work."
That picture is why I don't like angels. They're greedy. Birds have wings but no arms. People have arms but no wings. Angels have to have both. Greedy.

[endif]hello all,.
my wife and i are atheists, raised and living as jehovah's witnesses.
IMO, dubs are trained by the WTS to think that God's murdering babies is justified, because that allows dub parents to feel good about themselves when they allow their own children to die when a blood transfusion could have saved them.
Man may not have been created in God's image, but dubs do a good job emulating him.
wt 1981 12/1 pg.
28 paragraph 9.. .
" such adjustments might be said to follow a principle that has been said to govern the progress of scientific truth.
" But then in time it is seen to have certain flaws or weaknesses. So the tendency is to go to a proposition at the opposite extreme. "
What dubs don't know about the scientific method is a lot. A bright 10th-grader would recognize this as crap.
It reminds me of someone playing darts with a blind-fold. You missed? Try again!
