  Billions of wasted lives

  by expatbrit in

  the thread started by mr moe http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=15635&site=3 has occupied my thoughts for a considerable while today.

  fortunately, i'm off sick, so have the luxury of some free time!.

  for some reason, that subject really got to me.

  miserable wasted lives? i don't get it?

  sure, plenty of people live in drudgery and plenty more choose it but for the vast majority of us it isn't that way. I'd go out on a limb and say the happiness rate is higher in India than America and Ethiopians struggling in the Tigran hills have more fullfilling lives than Londoners.

  Does a redneck sucking in beers and nitro fumes at the rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert feel lifes joyful pulse more strongly than a buddhist monk begging rice high up in a Tibetan marketplace? Does my daughter rattling off to work at 7am for a long day shuffling paper have a better life than an Indonesian girl heading out to plant rice for the day?

  under the heading "babylonia".

  at first nabuchodonosor ii began a small guerilla warfare against jerusalem; then, in 607 b.c., he dispatched a considerable army, and after a while began the siege in person.. can any apostate tell me what's wrong with this quote?

  g'day closer,

  You planning on denying your man the intimate sensual thrill of lathering up and shaving away natures daily reminder of his manhood .. the ever growing folic symbol of his surging masculinity?

  mmm .. never used an electric defoliator myself but i heard the philips triple whirling undercutters are good.

  cut throat unclebruce, whose just grown a beard and would probably need the brush cutter 3000.

  To THIRDSON USA - Little John, PZ - Cornwall

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hello thirdson.

  little john, ai, i knew him well, he was a watch repairer from st.just way down in the far west of cornwall, died about 4 years back.. he was a real dear, one of the most loved elders you could ever hope to meet, what he lacked in stature he made up for with the biggest heart of gold.

  i can remember at 7 years old being the same height as him and feeling really chuffed that i could look him in the eye.

  It's OK Celtic,

  I'm not comming here to muck up your fred by making snide remarks about England or to tell yarns about the one eyed native i witnessed the jungles of New Guinea with or the Giant Pioneer bros of Nuriootpa. I just wanted to say that thirdson sure gets around! In South Australia he was in the same congregation as my wife .. just one degree separation from marrying her maybe lol.

  The Already Tired Argument of Bin Laden's Guilt

  by dubla in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there has been several threads since the start of the war on afghanistan (and before it), concerning the issue of bin laden's guilt.

  many have seen the obvious, that he and those who harbor him, are guilty, and that the attacks on afghanistan are completely justified if not the only choice for the u.s. still others claim the ridiculous notion that "evidence" should have been presented to the taliban first, and a "trial" should have been held for bin laden before any actions were taken.

  i realize most readers on this forum could care less, and the fact remains that the few of us who have argued these points are pretty tired of talking in circles.

  Innocent or not Dubla,
  Omah Bin Laden is a great hero in the eyes of many and nothing will change that or the facty that the terrorist got away with what they did on Sept 11.

  Salmin Rushdi's new book 'Fury', released only a few weeks before the attacks on the USA, has some eyeopening insights into the nature of anger and the social cultures in which it breeds.

  I think American citizens need to accept what happened and not look for a show trial or anything external to 'bring closure' if they continue desperately seeking solice other than in themselves they won't find it. My sincerest hope is that the war on terrorism extends into every nook and cranny of the earth and world leaders get serious and forge some basic changes in world governance to bring peace and security to us all. Hold tight your idealism, it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

  My wedding

  by Tammie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was married a little over 8 years in a kh.

  i also had recorded almost every thing the wedding talk, and most of the reception.

  any way the elder that gave the wedding talk was very long winded.

  You silly girl Tammie!

  I told Bro Krieger, an Elder well known for including the washing of smelly socks and underwear in his wedding talks, that he had a 5 minute maximum for his talk .. it worked out fine .. a dignified wedding.

  PS: Remind me not to marry thirdson

  inside the front cover of the green new world translation.

  bibles is a map, and in the map is a drawing of a dinosaur.. does anyone know why the dinosaur is there?.

  this is something i have actually wondered about for years.. perhaps someone here might know the answer.. --vm44

  I asumed that since dinosaurs roamed about alongside men from Adam to Methuselah it was an appropriate reminder. If only Noah had built a bigger ark they might still be with us today.

  I am currently reading a book about Australias mega fauna .. palaeontologists say the biggest most ferocious mamalian killing machine was the marsupial lion, about the same size as a sabre tooth tiger and weighing 170kg it's just as well Noah didn't let any of these on his floating zoo as it is I bet Adam was shit scared just naming 'em.

  andee, i agree that homemade swear words like 'slippery bicycle seat!' can be very funny but is writing f**k really necessary? As Jehovah's Witnesses engaged in field service we learned there were plenty of words to use instead of fuck .. like when we used to bust into peoples lounge rooms screaming:

  "ok you stinking rissoles .. put yer hands up before the mighty God Jehovah executes ever motherfunking last one a ya!" .. um or did i hear that in pulp fiction?

  unclebruce who can't remember what he remembers.
