has anyone else seen the july 8th awake!?.
it's cover features a picture of a police man and a young boy and asks the question "police, why do we need them"?.
does anyone else see the irony of this in light of the dateline publicity?
One who prepares for violence invites violence
Really? Gee, that could be applied to so many horrible things it's almost unspeakable to think about.
What kind of idiot believes that? Does 'violence' somehow feel pity for the unprepared and leave them alone?
i just wanted to share the following personality test with all of you: .
i've found it to be extremely interesting and helpful in my relationships with those of different personality types.

Hmmmm...well, I think I can safely say that test was the farthest off the mark of any I've taken. I didn't like most of the questions, but answered them all. I came out an 'ISTX' (which means I evenly scored between 'J' and 'P' on the last digit). Neither ISTP or ISTJ describes me at all, though.
hi everyone.
tonight there will be an interesting sight in the setting sky........................... http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/03jun_sunset.htm?friend.

For a list of cities and event time.
It's looks like I'll get to see a bit of it. I think the website is saying we'll get 27 min of eclipse before the sunsets, which should make it high enough in the sky to be visible. Especially out on the lake.
i've seen it mentioned many times in many threads: "the society monitors jwd, don't post anything you don't want them to know etc.
i have even made that point myself in the past.. my question is this: does the wtbts monitor this discussion board?.
or have we all been propagating our own xjw urban myth?.
Ahem, the 'pictures' thread has had 14,000 views in 10 days, with only 20 pages of posts.
It's suspicious if nothing else that the threads that give personal details have SO MANY more views than those that don't. I mean, on the order of 100 to 1. That's suspicious.
(wow, simon, did you steal microsoft word software or something?
well, today i did something that in most years past i would have believed would have resulted in me being struck by lightning; i attended a religious service other than the jw's.
this is the first time i've ever been to another religious service.
He said 'many', not 'all', borg. Some people do choose those doctrines, that's what the belief.net quiz was all about. Asks you questions, you answer, it finds the religion that closest matches your answers.
Christians on this board are vastly outnumbered
As it happens, I don't think that's true. 'Christians' appear to outnumber atheists, pagans and other religions here.

Kewl. That is, of course, where all the GOOD comics are...(well, except Foxtrot and Dilbert, but I thing both of them even post online, so...)

I think it's fixed
It's not even difficult to come up with another religion, though. A couple of posters in that thread mentioned pagan, at least one ended up with their beliefs coming closest to JWs, etc.It just matches up your answers with the 'churches' doctrines. UUs will naturally come up pretty high on any set of choices that isn't....hmmm....'fundie' of some kind? IE, the more vague you are in your answers (or the less harcore 'this and only this is the path to salvation') the closer you match the UU doctrine of 'pretty much anything goes'.
'Glad to see you making the switch' LOL!
So, is this one online only, or do they appear in print somewhere? I think I've hard of the authors name before, but...
here is the added material:.
stone phillips:(or john larsen).
in fact, anderson gave dateline a copy of this letter written in 1992 by a psycotherapist, a jehovah's witness himself, who said he'd treated many witnesses who'd told him they had been molested, and he had personally dealt with a number of elders who were more interested in suppressig a matter of abuse .
Wow, they cut an awful lot of good stuff out. Wonder why? The part about the molester being found going door to door, a witness in good standing, was particularly brutal.
Anyone know why they made the cuts they did?
according to the jw's, the men of sodom will be; no, that is wrong, they will not be; no, they will be...... i got this off of the website: .
http://www.catholic.com/library/stumpers_for_jehovah_witnesse.asp.
the men of sodom will be resurrected (wt, 7-1879, 7-8).
Silly joannadandy, of COURSE they will be seperated. The only reason they weren't born perfectly happy, individual, christian, white boys is because of human imperfection! [8>] (Oops, shouldn't say that - I hear tell they finally did appoint one single black brother to the GB - but you sisters are still out!)
Yup, those resurrected in the new system will be just 'like the angels'! (Notice how the fallen angels only took the daughters of men? And, how many female or black angels have YOU heard about, hmmm?)
It's ridiculous to be outside, looking in, and see just how BADLY the WTBTS is bigoted. Now, I realize, 'siamese' twins are a valid genetic defect that is a problem, but it's amazing the shear arrogance of their assumption - 'Oh, OF COURSE it will be this way - that's the only way god intended' (implying, of course, there not only IS a god, but that they personally know what such a being intends)
