Very good points, it's funny how they have buzzwords so that everything suits them. It's a shame it's members can't tell they are in complete contradiction to themselves.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES WANT IT BOTH WAYS
by Perry inwhen individuals leave the organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that god is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work.
when people leave another christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.
when a christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie.

Ewtie - This is rediculous - you can ask a question for debate, but don't follow it up with a comment assuming and thus confirming your ignorance.
Mommie Dark - I love the "smeg" comment - I haven't seen Red Dwarf in ages.

Bikers are sooooo hot! (fluff)
by zenpunk inwell, i must digress..... i was traveling home from work last night when a biker and i both stopped at ajoining stop signs at the same time.
i waved for him to go ahead of me (two roads were converging into one).
he flashed me this goregous smile and went ahead down the country road in a blaze of leather and hair on his steel gray harley.

My father had 4 or 5 bikes as well and he sold them when he became a JW. Was there something against Motorcycles in the organization (did it go hand in hand with rebellion or something like that)? He never had any Harleys but I remember as a kid riding on a blue Yamaha with a white stripe on the gas tank. I'll never forget how that bike smelt (nice!). My grandfather, before he died had an Indian from the 1920s. My grandmother sold it before his grave was cold (BOOOO!).

May have to DA
by jaded ini know this is a subject that has been discussed at length on this board.
until now i went along with "not playing their game" and not daing.
now after bill bowen has been disfellowshipped i am feeling embarrassed and ashamed to ever have been associated with this unloving, hypocritical, corrupt organization.

I am already shunned as an apostate, I think the only reason why I haven't been DF'd is that my father is pretty high up in the congregation. But, I think it's time I make it all "official". I've been seriously thinking about it lately, and this latest incident is the last straw!

How Do You Feel About Indian Mascots?
by Kenneson insince i live in tallahassee, i will state that our city derives its name from the tallahassee seminoles who were the original inhabitants of the region, when the americans began to arrive circa 1823. the word, however, is of creek derivation and means "old fields.
" early on, starting in the 1820s efforts to remove the seminoles from the state, led to several seminole wars.
the majority were finally persuaded to leave (1842) and these eventually became one of the five civilized tribes of oklahoma.

Well said LB. It bothers me how a culture can be systematically destroyed and then put on display when its convenient. As I am a member of the Lenape I say my opinion counts for something.

JW urban legends
by berten inin my time as jw there was at least one urban legend that was very popular.
amongst jaydubs.this was about the dog named "jehovah" by it's jw-hating owner.
so that when he got visited by them once again,he could shout "jehovah,attack!"..

Wow - this brings back memories.
I heard many of these already, but also one where a Smurf starting flying around the Kingdom Hall and had to be caught with a net.
Also, in New York, there were a lot of Mafia stories. There was one story about an older brother (now disceased) in my old congregation that wanted to get out of the Mafia because he was studying. So he was picked up off the street and driven to Jersey to be shot. All the time he kept saying, "Jehovah" in the backseat. So they mysteriously let him go and told him they hoped they never saw him again.
Another was when a JW knocked on the door of an obvious Mafia hangout in the woods (this was 2 hrs north of the city). Something big was going down, so to get rid of the brother they took all of his literature and gave him a crisp $100 bill. The brother this happened to told the story, but I somehow think he was making it up to get more placements for that month or something (maybe JW urban legend fame).

I followed him until I turned off at my driveway whereupon he gave me a goodbye wave. Now this guy was perfection in the biker way - I had to mop the drool out of my truck.
So, I must ask, are bikers the hottest people on earth, or what?
