  What's in a name?

  by dmouse in

  some interesting comments about the confusion caused by using multiple identities in the last day or two.. i was wondering, as there are some strange sounding tags about, what is the story, if any, behind your screen names?

  and what are your favourite alternatives (i thought about being dungeonmaster).

  i am 'dmouse' because it's a shortened version of my full name, dean moorhouse, and i used to love the (uk)cartoon dangermouse when i was a kid.

  this woman of forty, being a rather vain person, decided she needed a face lift.

  with her pocketbook as large as her ego, she went to several plastic surgeons before choosing the best money could buy.

  the doctor assured her that he could make her look young for many years because of a new technique he used.. after the operation the doc told her that he had put a screw behind each ear that she could tighten as needed to keep her fresh young look.. the woman was pleased for several years until one morning when she noticed bags under her eyes.

  The doctor replied, "Lady those aren't bags, they're your tits, and if you don't stop turning those screws you're going to have a beard!"

  Sounds like they are doing their little preparation work, to change some teaching. Maybe, because of all the proof of so many first century Christians, they will say that both classes started filling up at the same time. This will help them with that 144, number.

  Organized Religion

  by picosito in

  organized religion is organized simply to keep its organization together, to propagate and finance itself.

  look at jesus' words.

  he was like the buddha in simply trying to get people to look at their relationship with god and/or their own spirituality.

  Yes I agree, I think organized comes before personal
  commitment to Christ. Religion can make you proud and self-righteous, but in reality you fail to be kind, honest, humble, loving.

  There was a man who had worked his whole life in a pickle factory. One day he came home and told his wife that he had been fired from his job. She began to scream and yell, "You have given them twenty years of devoted service. Why did they fire you?"

  "For twenty years I've wanted to stick my pecker in the pickle slicer," he explained, "and today I finally did it!"

  The wife ran over and pulled his pants down to see what damage had been done. "You look okay," she said with a sigh of relief. "So what happened to the pickle slicer?"

  "Well," he said with hesitation, "they fired her, too."

  what pattern do Jws follow

  by WildTurkey in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws think that they are patterned after the first century congregation and that is what the gb wants them to think.

  i gave and heard several talks on how we follow that pattern, but then i would read what is says in the elder book ( pay attention to yourself and the flock) in unit 6 a).

  jehovah has an earthly household, or organization, to.

  Jehovah has an earthly household, or organization, to
  accomplish his work, an organization that appreciates the
  importance of his name and in every way seeks to honor it.
  (Acts 15:14; Eph. 2:19; 1 Tim. 3:15; Heb. 3:4-6) As he did
  in the case of natural Israel, so today Jehovah brings his
  people together as an organization. (Ex. 19:5, 6) They are
  directed by a "faithful steward" appointed to administer
  organizational matters in accord with God's will. (Luke 12:
  42) Ancient Israel served as a pattern of how the worldwide
  Christian brotherhood of Jehovah's Witnesses in these last
  days would be organized as a God-governed people. (Heb.
  10: 1) It requires an orderly arrangement to gather the "great
  crowd" out of all nations so that they may declare unitedly:
  "Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne,
  and to the Lamb." (Rev. 7:9, l0; rs pp. 326-8) Today, this
  involves a "stewardship from God," an arrangement adminis-
  tered through a "faithful and discreet slave."--Col. 1:25;
  Matt. 24:45-47; it-2 p. l035.
  
  That's page 144. Did you see who they say they are patterned after here?

But if I saw any young brothers from my hall, I would act like I was working, so as not to set a bad example. Ok how did you pass the time?

  an 80-year-old man went for his annual check up and the doctor said, "friend, for your age you're in the best shape i've seen.

  "you mean when you get up in the night to go to the bathroom, the lord himself turns on the light for you?

  "he said every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the lord turns the light on for him.

  An 80-year-old man went for his annual check up and the doctor said, "Friend, for your age you're in the best shape I've seen." The old man replied, "Yep. It comes from clean living. I know I live a good, clean, spiritual life." The doctor asked, "What makes you say that?" The old man replied, "If I didn't live a good, clean life the Lord wouldn't turn the bathroom light on for me every time I get up in the middle of the night." The doc was concerned. "You mean when you get up in the night to go to the bathroom, the Lord Himself turns on the light for you?" "Yep," the old man said, "whenever I get up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for me." Well, the doctor didn't say anything else, but when the old man's wife came in for her check up, he felt he had to let her know what her husband said. "I just want you to know," the doctor said. "Your husband's in fine physical shape but I'm worried about his mental condition. He told me that every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for him." "He what?" she cried. "He said every night when he gets up to go to the bathroom, the Lord turns the light on for him." "Aha!" she exclaimed. "So he's the one who's been peeing in the refrigerator!"
