  What would we be protesting?

  Or is this just a riot in general?

  I don't have to wear a suit, do I?

  Her majesty wishes to be known not as Mrs. Czar but as the Czarina.

  I said she should start posting here if she wants a fancy title.

  PS: She says thank you all very much for your good wishes. It was a splendid wedding and we are very happy - not the borganized happiness, but a chaotic, shouting, two cats underfoot kind of familial happiness.

  book of Mormon

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  on satellite tv there is a regular program called book of mormon discussions, the panel of mormon teachers expound and ellaborate upon the deep meaning in the book, seeing great import and prophecy in every word.

  the book is a joke as we all probably know.

  it is low grade fiction filled with plagerism and anachronism.

  God becomes all things to everyone, to teach us all that we need to know.

  Maybe right now they need the Book to cling to while they learn the important things of love, mercy, and duty.

  kill the victims

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a small question that haunted me as a jw was why did jehovah kill all the humans in the flood who had become depraved and violent but let the demons who ostensibly brought perversion and violence to the world go free to do it again after the flood?

  is this some kind of discrimination?

  (it's a story)

  simple.

  He didn't.

  The Flood was a local thing (maybe the Black Sea flood we've read about recently) exaggerated in the Bible.

  sound familiar?

  doesn't it bother you how jw's think that just by saying the work "jehovah" it will ward off anything evil?

  you've heard it all, yelling "jehovah" can exorcise, prevent rape and robbery and the list goes on.

  It was wierd - but here's my take on it. getting prayers to work has NOTHING to do with how "far gone" you are. I'm a drunk, a drug user, a (until last saturday, when I got married) fornicator living in sin, addicted to caffeine, suicidal, blasphemer, violent on occasion, I love horror flicks (as you can tell by my avatar). According to the WT, I'm so far gone as to be unforgivable. Screw them and their judgements.

  God has the name Jehovah, and it works for me - it's part of my relationship with him. I need a masculine, powerful, protector, warrior-king type of god. What kind of God do you need? Remember, he promised to become "all things to everyone" so maybe he'll become something you really want.

  Maybe he has another name that you could use when you pray? Use Zeus, or Allah, or Benji the Wonderdog - he'll become it if it's what you need, I think.

  Your relationship with God has to be so personal you are kind of embarrassed about it, like saying "I love you" to your father, or something. So think about it. Reach out, really reach out - not according to the formulae handed to you by some disgusting old geezer pervert in Brooklyn, but according to what you have felt and known and experienced in your life. You know where your gaps are, and maybe that's where you should start looking for God?

  Just a thought. Sorry to rant on, but it makes me upset when I see a statement like "I'm too far gone". That's WT doublespeak.

  If You Could Write Articles For The Watchtower What Would The Titles Be?

  if you had the power to print millions of watchtowers & awakes and you could see to it that the articles that you wrote got to all the readers, give a sampling of what the articles highlighting "spiritual food" would say.

  What the hell were we thinking? (Watchtower title)

  Freddie's Books - spiritual junk food for your "spiritual munchies". (KM article)

  Door-to-door pedophilia -- Is it really God-ordained (KM article)

  Oops! Our bad! (Watchtower title)

  Sunday School leads to homosexuality (book study)

  Meetings and field service to be condensed to five minute pow-wow, with coffee breaks before and after.

  Demons -- childish fear or patron saints?

  Terry Pratchett - fantasy, humor, philosophy - it's all there.

  and I also like George R.R. Martin - he keeps postponing the release of his new book in his "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, but the first three are simply some of the best books I've ever read.

  Good job by those soldiers in following their consciences.

  I think that maybe, just maybe, some palestinians will follow their example.

  I've said it before.

  Bush knew what he was doing.

  He also probably has Saddam contained and is waiting for the next election to trot him out and garrote him.

  And I'm also sure we know where Osama is. Those videos showed mountains in the background. Comparison of those mountains with any decent map of Pakistan / Afghanistan should reveal his location. Just biding our time for maximum political capital - and that's okay by me.

  W in '04!

  When I was getting bullied in high school - as long as I prayed to Jehovah the bullies would ignore me. It's true. But the instant I stopped silently praying, they'd begin their assault. And when I'd start again, they'd leave me alone.

  Weird, but true. Happened all year long. Gym class, eighth and seventh grades. Locker room. Yikes.
