There goes Satan, running ahead of Jehovah again. Jehovah will smite his ass soon, just like he was going to back in the 1870s. And we should all be waiting for Paradise Erf to fix everything for us instead of trying to fix it ourselves. Have issues with the abuse you've suffered? Paradise Erf will fix it. The pain you have resulting from nobody taking you to the hospital when you injured yourself as a child? Paradise Erf is the cure! You'll be able to grow young and play with herbivorous lions. Magic fairies will sprinkle Jehovah dust upon you and make you forget about that old world where you suffered so greatly.
Then, Jehovah lets Satan out again so he can destroy people living in Paradise Erf. Don't sound like no paradise to me.

Another reason the JW-style paradise won't be needed

"...and the lame will leap just like the hart...?.

Has Golden Calf ever been found?
by cameo-d injust wondering, is there any information as to how big it was?
how did desert wanders carry around so much gold?
wouldn't it have encumbered them?

- "Has watchtower ever published a picture of golden calf in any of the mags that you know of?"
I believe it's in the Bible Stories book.
I'm wondering how the hell they could make a mold for the calf, unless they just drew a picture of a calf in sand and poured the melted gold into it.
But how could they pour a bucket of hot, molten gold without some kind of protection? What was the bucket made of?
What did they start a fire with? a cactus? Tar sand?
Where are the stone tablets that Moses broke? Have those ever been found?
As usual, I think the whole story is horseshit. -

JW-Based Names for JW-Based Businesses
by Nosferatu inwhile doing some job hunting, i came across an ad for a cleaning business called "paradise cleaning" or something like that.
i'd think it's a 99% chance that the company is a bunch of jws.
what are some of the goofy names you've seen for jw's home businesses?

I seem to attract responses from active JWs on here, usually when it comes to issues such as abuse. I don't know why they enjoy picking on me. Probably because I was never baptized, and they're allowed to talk to me.

So, What Do They Cut Next?
by metatron inas to future cutbacks in jehovah's progressive organization, i see these:.
once again, dump the awake completely.
's have observed that this doom and gloom scandal sheet needs defending.

Dumping the Awake is a tough one. The Watchtower magazine has a JW stigma to it that even non-JWs know. Face it, how many times have you buried a Watchtower under an Awake magazine solely to get the magazines into the householder's hands?
What I think they should do is eliminate the "public" version of the Watchtower, and replace that with the Awake. -

Massive fire at Toronto propane depot forces thousands to flee
Highway 401 shut in both directions, 3 subway stations closed
Last Updated: Sunday, August 10, 2008 | 10:28 AM ET Comments23Recommend277
Thousands of people fled their homes in a residential neighbourhood of Toronto early Sunday following a series of explosions and a massive fire at a propane depot.
Police report at least two injuries involving people hit by broken glass and fiery debris that shot into the air after the initial blast, just before 4 a.m. ET.
One man lost his balance and fell while running from the scene, where a huge fireball lit up the sky. Tony Testa said he suffered burns to his back from falling debris.
Officers brought in buses to take residents out of the area after the multiple explosions began.
A fire official said people living in a 1.6-kilometre radius have been forced out of their homes. Many were taken to the nearby Yorkdale Shopping Centre.

The first explosion, which could be heard seven kilometres away, shook nearby homes and buildings, waking residents.
One resident living across the street from the Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases facility in the area of Keele Street and Wilson Avenue said the blast blew out all the windows at his home.
Testa said his house appeared to shift and one of his solid wooden doors is in pieces. A number of witnesses reported seeing houses on fire and propane tanks falling from the sky.
The six-alarm fire sent clouds of thick smoke hundreds of metres into the air. More than 130 firefighters were sent to battle the blaze.
Risk of tankers exploding
Two propane tankers were still parked at the scene several hours after the explosions. Firefighters were spraying water on them to prevent further explosions.
The tankers have the capacity to hold about 220,000 litres of propane, police said.
Regular commercial air traffic is moving in and out of Pearson International Airport, but smaller, privately owned aircraft have been restricted from flying over the affected area, said Trish Krale, spokeswoman for the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
Air testing showed initial concern that the fiery blast had turned the air toxic was unfounded, a fire official said.
As a precaution, police have closed a 16-kilometre stretch of Highway 401 between Highway 400 and the Don Valley Parkway.
Ontario Provincial Police spokesman Sgt. Cam Wooley said he has never seen such a large stretch of the highway closed.
The Downsview, Yorkdale, Wilson subway stations have also been closed. -

Thousand of residents have been evacuated from homes and businesses while a section of Canada's busiest highway has been closed following a series of massive explosions in a suburban Toronto neighbourhood early Sunday.
"They're evacuating the area so I think they're worried about another explosion," said a civilian Toronto police spokesman. "Maybe they're worried something on site is going to blow, and if it is, it may be bigger than what was there already. So they're being extra careful."
At around 4 a.m., several large explosions erupted from the Sunrise Propane facility in North York on Wilson Ave.
Police said the company stores and distributes a number of highly flammable welding supplies and gases such as acetylene, argon, nitrogen, propane and oxygen which police say is "highly explosive." The cause of the explosion has not been determined.
In a news conference Sunday morning, Emergency Services spokesman Peter MacIntyre said only one person has been taken to hospital with a minor ankle injury received while evacuating his home.
"We've treated some minor injuries at the scene," he said. "Other than this one individual, we have not transported anyone else. It's people we have treated for minor cuts and bruises. We have notified all the area hospitals so they are on standby. They are aware that they could be having an influx of patients and many people will choose to go to the hospital on their own."
Police say the situation remains highly volatile as they attempt to cool two large rail car tanks to prevent further explosions.
Highway 401 has been closed from Finch Ave. to the north, Jane St. to the west, Bathurst Ave. to the east and Lawrence Ave. to the south.
"It's a pretty big area," the police spokesman said. "Probably about a three kilometre radius."
Police have also established a "no fly zone," for the area.
A combined effort between fire fighters, Toronto and provincial police, and special emergency response crews have set up a one-kilometre perimeter around the source of the blast and are in the process of evacuating homes.
No injuries or fatalities have yet been confirmed, but police expect there will be many. Toronto EMS duty officer David Viljak said officials have received reports of "casualties" but can't confirm them because the victims are "inside the hot zone" and behind the barricade.
A police officer said he had heard reports of two injuries from the scene, but none had been officially confirmed as of 7:30 a.m.
"I'm sure there's gonna be a lot (of injuries)," said the Toronto police officer, who would not give his name. "It was a big bang."
Less than three hours after the blasts, a Holiday Inn Hotel in the immediate area was busy taking in dozens of people who had been evacuated from their homes or businesses. Other hotels nearby said they would also be opening their doors to people throughout the day.
Huge billows of dark smoke could be seen from the area of the blast. Several images of the explosions, and videos of the fireballs going off were posted online soon after they occurred.
"It's a pretty large fire, looks like a seven-alarm fire, and it's still burning," the police officer said.
"We are two miles away here, and we could feel it (the initial explosions)," said Viljak.
Several police officers, fire crews and emergency crews are on site, investigating the blast and trying to keep people out of the danger zone. Police have set up a command post to co-ordinate the emergency response.
Some witnesses described the blasts as feeling like an earthquake and causing buildings to shake. Reports from media say that up to 40-60 blasts were heard.
Traffic in the area of the blasts, near the Keele St. and Wilson Ave. intersection, has been shut down and power to the area has been cut.
Toronto police have been stationed on every corner in the area, but in some cases were unable to tell confused residents what was happening or even if they should evacuate.
People on the scene report that there was one large explosion, followed by several smaller blasts. Area residents said that windows closer to the epicentre of the blaze had their windows shattered by the initial blast.
TTC shuttle buses are removing residents from the area, though locals don't know if a general evacuation order has been given. Residents also report the neighbourhood is the site of several seniors residences.
Local radio reports from 680 News said it has been flooded with hundreds of calls from listeners who had heard the series of explosions.
There was "a huge ball of fire with huge bangs or booms" one reader told 680 news, also describing "pieces of debris being shot into the air."
