on the last day of his trip a publisher hooked a monster fish and proceeded to reel.
it in.. the publisher, holding a net, yelled, "look at the size of that son of a bitch!".
"son, i'm an elder.
Okay, here's one I got from a magazine. It goes something like this:
A teacher was talking about double negatives in class one day.
He said, "A double negative always equals a positive. However, in Russian, a double negative can sometimes equal a negative. But in no language in the world does a double positive equal a negative."
From the back of the room:
"Yeah, right."
how do you decide what to have for dinner?
i need to get more ideas.
so what are you having for dinner tonight?.
My partner cooks. Tonight we had barbecued steaks; for dessert, we had a homemade raspberry pie. He picked the wild raspberries himself.
I am spoiled in many ways (for the first time in my life). Anyway, I can't cook.
i got a little problem, father, understanding exodus 32.. see the israelites had fallen into errant ways while moses was upon the mountain, and your anger blazed forth against them and you said to moses:.
"let me be that my anger might blaze against them and that i might exterminate them.
and let me make you into a great nation instead".. and moses said;.
If God condemns fornication,and polygamy now why did he condone it then
I was told it was so that the Hebrew population could continue to grow. Is that true?
Didn't Jesus say something like, "because of your hardheartedness, Moses allowed you to have multiple wives, but that was not the way it was in the beginning"???
I'm not questioning you, RF, I'm questioning myself.

ok, i have been 'out' for about 9 years, now.
in all that time i have lived in 4 different states.
i have only had two visits from jw's during that time and both times they were from spanish congregations...the first time because my boyfriend at the time was mexican-american and someone told them we spoke spanish...the second time because my next door neighbors spoke spanish and they came to my place accidentally.. at any rate, both times as soon as they found out we spoke english, they scurried away and apologized for bothering us.
I mean, think of all the people they haven't reached! I personally know many people who've never even MET a JW. They sure have a lot of work to do--and FAST--because according to my father, 'this old system isn't going to last much longer'.
Oh, Jehovah has that all under control, didn't you know that? If you were too busy earning a living for your family to be home when the JWs called, or too damned inconsiderate to get out of bed at 9:00 in the morning on your only day off, or the congregation which "served" your "territory" was suffering a terrible loss of pioneers due to God's spirit being withdrawn because of "secret sinners" (most likely apostates) well,
Hasta la vista, baby!!!
Leo, naturally
warp wrote this on the forum......"god views apostacy as a much graver sin than pedophilia, and that is a biblical fact.".

that's pretty sick coming from a jw in good standing!
Oscar Wilde might change his philosophy today. What "was outside of him" brought him down in disgrace and infamy. One now hardly remembers him for what he was as an author. He is mostly remembered for his sensational trial and his subsequent jail term.
Oh, gosh, do you really think that's true??? His work is OUTSTANDING. Oscar Wilde is one of my favorite authors; George Orwell is a very close second.

but not according to me.. for the number of jws still going strong the ones here is but a handful, so mabye most of you are just pitiful whiners who should accept a little personal responsibility for your lives and quit trying so hard to blame someone or something.
