Pop Trivia

by Simon in

so many serious topics lately ... so for anyone who wants a break, it's trivia time and the subject is pop music.. which act is the only one to have a top 100 hit both before, during and after the beatles had theirs?.

no googling.

if you guess, you also need to add a trivia question for others to answer..

Has to be a Motown group. Can't remember the name (since I'm not allowed to google..lol) but it's something like expectations or something like that.

those of you who read my last post, about two weeks ago, know i'm in a dilemma.

i did not run like some posts suggested.

i truly believe i found my soulmate.

The only way a JW can divorce is if their partner has committed adultery. For JWs, it's called scriptural divorce. You cannot ask for a divorce if you're the guilty party. She can divorce in a court of law but the JW won't recognize it.

You mention she is being shunned. Has she been disfellowshipped? If not, I doubt she is being shunned.

It takes years if not decades to break free of the JW's cult mind control. Get ready for the roller coaster ride and the mind games. Even if she leaves to be with you, the guilt will continue and she will be continuously torn inside. JWs believe the end is just around the corner and if she's not a witness when that comes she's dead meat. It takes years to get rid of that mindset and it's very strong. You have no idea the fear it creates. There's always going to be that back and forth between her trying to be saved and destruction. She might be able to push it in the back of her mind for some periods but the guilt and fear eventually come back. If she leaves, get her into therapy ASAP.

I've done some crazy things because of love, so I can empathize with you. Good luck.

Oh, and one more thing. JWs are trained to be very good liars so watch yourself.

today during the public talk the speaker said that satan was behind the new modern phones, which are like mini computers, so that the world would have easy access to pornography..

so all the guys in the hall are "You can check porn on phones???" - thanks for the heads up brother. A lot of fapping ensued that afternoon.

Have you heard the one about "Back to the Future" Predicting 911??

by EndofMysteries in

when somebody posted this on fb, i was anxious to see how ridiculous it would be, probably worse then the gb prophecies, etc.

after watching the clip, i honestly don't know what to believe.

at the very least it's very entertaining and interesting.

Well we only have a few days left before Oct 21, 2015 (date Marty goes to the future). You'll find out if any of this was a prediction from the illuminati. The big question, "Will the cubbies win the world series?". Now that would be one hell of a coincidence. The Cubs haven't won since 1908.

Anyway, where's my flying car?
