  Why didn't Jesus write his own parts of the bible?

  by Aphrodite in

  2. beliefs

  why leave the writing to inaccurate third parties who each saw things from their own perspective.

  if his message was so important for posterity, why did he not write an accurate account of his message?

  - "why did he not write an accurate account of his message?"
  
  Probably because he didn't really exist.

  I know this is a bit early, but is anybody working on a scan of this yet? I can't believe they put out a volume 2! They must REALLY be wanting to tighten the grip on the yoof in the congregation.
  
  Any bets that they'll be studying the first one again in the Book Study before studying this one?

  Any of the ones that I had I burned. Some were given to me, some I stole from my mother for the sole purpose of burning them. My MIL recently found that New World tract with the stupid Pandas on it. I'll be burning that one at our next fire.

  Cinderella - Still Climbing
  
  The entire album definately promotes open-mindedness. The music is also really great. Whoops! A couple of bad words slipped in! Not to worry, after all we hear those words from worldly people and TV all the time.
  
  Still Climbing reminds me of reaching out for privelages in the KH. "I'll be climbing for the rest of my life"
  
  And there's the first track:
  "And it's my life that I'm livin'
  Wouldn't want to be no one else
  So if you don't like how I do it
  Ya better keep it to yourself"
  
  
  Second track:
  
  "Everbody's talking at me but nothing's sounding right
  They say the future's looking brigher but I don't see no light"

  Yes I do! However, I'm not vomitting my feelings into it. It's generally about unusual and interesting things I find in thrift stores, garage sales, or in the trash. ...and the occasional piece of junk mail I send back. Oh yeah, I've also got my own youtube videos and music reviews. My video of the floppy drive playing music is probably my most popular. Second runner up is an old guy singing on Public Access TV.

  Farkel Writes a Book?

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  several years ago i was contacted by a well-known (actually famous and well-published) professor from the university of california at san diego and we had lunch.

  he bought lunch.

  doesn't everyone write books to make a whole big bunch of money?.

  Farkel, in all seriousness, your "rough and dirty" way of writing is great. If you want to tell everyone who bought your book that you're just doing it for the money, then do it. This is YOUR book, don't let everyone tell you how to write it no matter how much you respect them. If you inserted comments about how us got suckered into buying your "turd", I'd probably laugh my ass off!

  I'm going to give you a quote from a book I'm currently reading called "Real Men Don't Apologize" by Jim Belushi. This is from the VERY FIRST paragraph in the book:

  I'll admit it. What initially attracted me to the idea of writing a book were two words: "Easy Money." Two years and twenty drafts later all I have to say is writing a book is a real bitch. It amazes me how quickly Bob Woodward made up all the bullshit about John for his book - Sorry, sorry, another time.

  And Farkel, if you did write a book, I would happily be scammed out of my $30.

  The WT Library is right at the bottom of the top 10 Platinum list!

  http://appdb.winehq.org/

  An electronic version of some of the Watchtower society's publications released from 1970 (english; span vaires between the languages) to date; comes with an extremely good search-tool. Windows is the currently (2005) sole supported platform. Currently distributed only to baptized Jehovah's witnesses. Distributed in quite some languages, but program functions are believed to be identical for all of them. Menus, data and hotkeys vary between languages.

  Here's a wiki on how to install it:

  Faders: When You Left, did Anyone Give a Damn?

  by shamus100 in

  it seems funny to hear how some get love bombed, others get left alone when they fade.

  i moved and told nobody - by the time they figured i was 'weak', it was too late - i was gone.

  so honestly, what was it like for you when you left the 'organization'?

  Noone ever exclusively called me or visited me. If they did call, it was usually for my JW mother and I happened to answer the phone. "We miss you at the meetings!" No you don't, liar. You didn't care when I WAS there!
  
  The only person who actually called on me was the elder who studied me. He came to the door and told me he loved me. YUCK!
  
  Oh yeah, and there was the one guy I ran into on the bus. "We used to cover these areas, remember? Remember all the good times we had in Service? We should do that again!" Yeah, fat chance.
  
  Both of those guys are dead now, so they don't miss me anymore.

  by WTWizard in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  got to be there.. ben.. off the wall.. thriller.. bad.. dangerous.. history (including new music).. invincible.. these are the michael jackson albums that contain new music.

  it does not include greatest hits or remix compilations or boxed sets.

  notably, these albums come out about once every 3-6 years.. between off the wall and thriller, it was about 3 years.
