  Ah, yes, that would be the old favorite - the Motorola 'Silver Bullet' pager, then, right?

  i'm going to a district assembly fri, sat and sun in leeds, uk in hope to understand some of this stuff-my girlfriend is a jw but i am not.. i don't get this 144,000 people thingy-why would only some people get to go to heaven and some stay on earth?

  how are these people selected?.

  walk on the left my brother as people walk on the right that come in the opposite direction-you will get knocked down my brother!!!.

  did I mention that ORAL is BANNED

  Damn straight! Anal goes without saying, too. Can't be doing any of that disgusting stuff homosexuals do. Except kissing - that's okay. Just not in public. Oh, holding hands is okay, too. And sending each other nice, chaste, love letters. But, none of the OTHER stuff homosexuals can do. That's all frowned on by god. He just made it feel really good because he's a big ol' tease.

  Self-Gratification

  okay, i'm not trying to start a fight - really!

  but i've had this strange question/opinion and wanted to put it out for discussion.. we know how the wt says masturbation is wrong - which i believe is a load of "crud.

  " i mean, everybody does it - it's perfectly natural, normal, human, and necessary (especially for men, crucial to being in a decent mood).. so, if jesus was a perfect human, do you all suppose he did?

  HEY NOW! You're distracting from my very serious bible-based question.

  What IS god-approved sleepwear?

  Well, what do all the active JWs here wear to bed? What do the apostates wear? (For comparison)?

  Does this deserve it's own thread???

  Why am I talking like this?

  What do I mean?

  What do I mean by 'what do I mean'?

  Find out on....

  Valis: You at the assembly might be kinda fun, actually. Bet you could get the ol "Ring O' Attendants" thing going on if you really tried. Heh.

  (Checking: Everyone know what the "Ring O' Attendants" is, right?)

  "Bootleg" copies of Victoria's Secret?

  What? The sisters weren't allowed to wear sexy ling--- no, nevermind, of course not. Silly me.

  PJs or sweats for everyone!

  (Hold on, that IS a good question! What IS god-approved sleepwear? Does anyone in Bethel sleep in the nude? How scandalous! Is even underwear alone too revealing? Inquiring minds want to know!)

  This thread reminds me of a comic strip:

  I'm....uhhh....working on being that last one.... For now, I do tech support for our company's software. Operators services stuff (Directory Assistance, Automated placement, coin phones, debit cards, etc - it runs the whole business).

  For fun? Building PCs/overclocking them/tinkering/etc. Oh, and gaming on them. Graphics design, 3d modelling etc.

  I do get outdoors some and enjoy the usual: mountain biking, kayaking, and just walking in our parks - one of the largest arboretums in the country is in our area

  because the USA has stuck its nose in foreign policies for too long, and a group of Arabs decided to say enough is enough

  Larc kind of said what I think I feel about this, too. IOW, 'Say WHAT?!?!'

  It's WRONG to try and improve other's lives? Really? Granted, the goals are eventually self-serving, but the 'Americanization' of the world means women not having to wear face-concealing burkas anymore in Afghanistan. People being educated in (Gods forbid!) how to read and use computers (where available) in Africa.

  The simple fact of the matter is that the 'American'/'Western' way of life IS better than much of the world is living in, so why SHOULDN'T we try and help people improve to our level?

  That DOES piss people of who are in power in those countries and who keep that power by teaching their subjects that nothing better is possible in this life, and you must sacrifice everything to your cause. Because, see, when we come in and show them something better IS possible, we undermine their totalitarian authority. Then, they get mad and blow up planes and buildings and such.

  THAT'S why 9/11 happened. Because we were presenting a superior lifestyle to cultures whose leaders relied on their peasants' misery.
