did any of you hear any of the urban legends that jw's used to scare people into being deathly afraid of demons?
for example i remeber hearing that a child brough a smurf doll to a meeting and upon hearing the name jehovah uttered it got up and walked out.
got any j-dub urban legends?

daniel was not so much a prophet as a would-be interpreter of prophecy.
(so a lot of us posters on this board should be able to relate.
) one of daniel's major "prophecies" effectively started out as a reponse to a "previous post" that questioned jeremiah's prophecy about the 70 years desolation.
take this one step further and realize that Revelation was nothing more than a first century REINTERPRETATION of the book of Daniel and guess what kiddies? No Armageddon, no Wild beast, no Dragon...all just fairytales propagated by fundys obsessed with Judaism....

anybody know?
and if you're disfellowshipped you can't attend, right?
incidentally my father not only attended when he was disfellowshipped--he partook. and it is not a rule you have to go late and leave early. It is a public meeting. anyone can go. JW or not. you can't disrupt it. But you can attend just like anyone else(question is : WHY?)

I recommend anyone who wants to --do a search for a hebrew calendar online. the last time I did it I found out JWs only celebrated the Memorial on Nisan 14 like twice in 10 yrs! And they always have some dumb excuse. But then again why be surprised? we all know what the Borg does with dates!

we all go through times of stress and sad times.
what is a simple, yet profound saying that you have reminded yourself of to make these troubling times easier?
you don't have to believe in a literal god, just that there are higher thoughts within us that we all are able to draw from.. the one that has worked the best for me is: .
I have three inspirational phrases:
<<As a general rule, don't try to solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.>>
<<"does that make me less dangerous, or more dangerous?"-SHAFT >>
<<SATAN, OSCILLATE MY METALLIC SONATAS --palindrome(read forwards and backwards)>>

when you look at this picture of the universe, how do you think this came about?
do you think that there is a creator afterall?
for those who like astronomy and nice pictures taken by hubble telescope and other telescopes check this out.. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
first of all a HE never created anything except stained sheets. Not without a SHE to control everything. So maybe the whole idea of 'god' is off. why do we presume that becoz humans are gendered that a god would be?is the Universe gendered? Didn't the same 'god' do the universe who did humans? And humans are the BEST thing 'god' did? Hardly.
The only thing that is constant is change. Chaos. So maybe the ancients were not so far off when they called 'god' chaos and used an empty womb to symbolize it. Most religions that are polytheistic or even pantheistic still believe that the original first cause was not a personality but a type of living dynamic utilizing space and matter. The 'gods' who demanded worship and sacrifice were usually quite a few 'generations' of emanations or evolutions out from the first cause.
To me that makes the most sense.

as a faithful and zealous witness, nothing can question your faith.
but one day, something does!
you begin to have doubts.
once again, whomever you are, you are too chicken shit to talk to me directly.
i am so angered that you once again, although i gave you my # and email address with which to contact me, have decided to take information that i have posted directly to the elders.
again, werent you supposed to come to me???
evil PR? LOL
why should I care? I have no need to earn JWs' respect. In fact I would rather see their fear. Satan? Satan is a christian invention. do you think oranges waste their time worrying that the apples might think they are rotten apples?
