"You don't pee next to a cop," and other rules from the mens room that women don't know

by GrreatTeacher in

i was recently at a baseball game with friends and family when i learned something new.

beer had been drunk and the men made their way to the men's room to relieve themselves.

when they got back i asked them what took them so long.

this photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.

(10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.

Jesus Christ, invisibly filling sports arenas since 1914 technically since 1874 ("old light")

.

"it brings 4 million dollars to the location. (10,000 x 400 dollars)"

.

Jesus brings $4 million to the local economy....Satan's economy.

Benefit to JWs, his chosen people: 0

How ironic.

you may never fart in the ladies room. They laughed and thought this highly unlikely....It's all about hiding the sounds. First, try to find an empty restroom

.

If a woman farts in a restroom and there's not another woman around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Marrying a Black Person

by ThomasCovenant in

we are not living today among aryan nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for marrying a black, as was possible and was ordered in the early days of apartheid.. being limited by the laws of the new south african nation in which we live, we can take action against those who marry blacks only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with current laws.

the law of the land forbids us to kill them, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship.

Ah, yes. WT not only missed the boat and can now only strive to be a Catholic Church wannabe, it also laments that it cannot practice Sharia Law.

Poor WT- a day late and a dollar short. The best it can do is also-ran.

If only WT could have been first in line for Crusades and Inquisitions and backwards middle eastern religious hatred, what a more wonderful place this world this would be.

Draw Close to Jehovah book study this week- Jesus is not YHWH

by bruh2012 in

based on this weeks congregation bible study in the "draw close to jehovah" book, jesus is not yhwh from what you read in prov.

8:22-32. unless there it is a hebrew word snafu - at least verses 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31 speaks of two people.. correct?.

AndDontCallMeShirley

BU2B: If the bible was the word of god, why would it be written in such a confusing manner and such a way that it is open to so many different interpretations? Can this god then blame people if they havent got it quite right?

.

Very simply, that is the core of the matter. If humans are still scratching their heads two or three millenia after these things were written, obviously the fault is with the author(s).

If god is responsible, then it is an epic fail; if human failure, then it's not worth devoting any time to figuring it out, as it is nothing more than contrived nonsense.

Someone on another thread argued that the problem is, not the Bible, but that modern Christians do not understand the symbolism, hyperbole and allegories that first century writers used, so the message is ambiguous at best. My contention is: why would a god who allegedly provided written instructions on which a person's eternal life hinges on understanding fully, use allegories, symbolism and hyperbole in the first place? It's a dumbass approach no matter how you look at it.

New DVD review

by Laika in

i managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.

as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.

i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].

AndDontCallMeShirley

The film regularly tried to make him appear bad because he was 'open minded and tolerant'

In JW Land, this does make a person wicked.

"open minded" means there's a possibility the JW may not know it all and has something yet to learn.

"tolerance" means that another person just may have a different perspective than the JW, but that's okay. Life is not black and white.

Both are fatal character flaws in Dub World.

Ironically, jam, those were my exact words the last time I had the misfortune of experiencing a female decompressional event.

women don't sweat, they "glisten".

women don't fart, they "decompress".

When they decompress, it's like being in the same room as a ninja; you don't know what's happening until it's too late.

All that Money

its amazing that they preach that the world is about to come to an end so soon but they won't spend a dime of their own money to get the message out.. i mean think about it, a couple years back a california preacher with less than 100k followers and about 100 millions dollars was able to get his message out that the world was coming to an end in 2012 and people heard about his message globally.

the org on the other hand sold over a billion dollars worth of real estate and hasn't spent a dime to get its message out.

all the halls were built with the local brothers contributions same can be said of circuit assembly and branch sites.

.

The difference between him and WT is, he actually believed the message he was preaching....
