  I remember seeing a hot Australian sister on there. I said this has to be too good to be true. So I never signed up. This site is just like all the other dating sites, imho, although I admit I never have tried it. I met my wife the old fashioned way..............a friend of a friend of a cousin of a friend.

  WATCHTOWER HOAXES on the spectrum of mendacity

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the word hoax is thought to be derived from the magician's utterance of silly "hocus-pocus" so-called magic incantation.. this is jibberish, of course--a fake latin-sounding phrase mimmicking the priest's words in catholic mass changing wine into the "actual" blood of christ.. yeah.. only a conscious attempt to deceive separates a hoax from an otherwise mistake or urban myth.. according to folklorist jan brunvand, a 'hoax tends to indicate "relatively complex and large-scale fabrications" and includes deceptions that go beyond the merely playful and "cause material loss or harm to the victim".brunvand, jan h. (1998).

  "If any overzealous doctor condemns your tonsils go and commit suicide with a case-knife. Its cheaper and less painful." (Golden Age, April 7, 1926, p. 438)

  Terry,
  Where did you source your quote at? I've been trying to find a PDF of of the 1926 Golden Age's, but it has been somewhat elusive. You don't happen to have a copy do you? Thanks.

  Carla, Here's your quote.

  *** The Golden Age, Feb. 10, 1926, p.310 ***Air baths are good for preventing colds... What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for a while.

  why am i still single?

  Go to places where people go to chill and make friends. I used to be incredibly shy, didn't talk to anyone. But now that I'm breaking away from the "truth", I'm a completely different person. I have a co-worker that tells me that there aren't any strangers to me, just people I haven't made friends with yet. I've learned a few drinks loosen me up and then I'm free to talk to anyone. After the initial ice is broken, conversations flow easier.

  Try joining organizations or clubs where people share your interests. We come from an organization minded background, so use that background in making yourself feel comfortable around others with like interests. Bowling club? Pool club? If you live in or around a city, you can find a lot to get into. Just meet people. Aim for friendships. The rest will come later.

  If I knew this before I got married and learned TTATT, I'd be in a completely different situation now.

  The Family Worship Night is a blessing for me (spreads TTATT)

  so because of a new job that i got, i have to stay in my parents' city for 6 months.

  thereafter i can move.. so i am back at my parent's house.

  my dad is fully awakened now, it will just take time for him to accept the invalidity of the blood doctrine and the disfellowshipping doctrine, or anyone for that matter.. my mom was delighted when i said i wanted to join them in the family worship night.

  Great post. Keep these coming as you have family worship nights. I've been holding off on family worship with my wife because I don't quite know how to introduce TTATT in subtle ways to get her thinking. Your post is giving me some good ideas.

  Disney's Haunted House is okay, but Harry Potter rides at Universal Studios are an abomination. I know so many JWs who turn their noses up at Universal Studios because of the Harry Potter rides. It's ridiculous.

  We shall dress with modesty (1Tim2:9), why dress like rich lawyers or wealthy financiers?

  by Mr Fool in

  in my point of view, modest clothing is simple and humble.

  so why are jw-men dressed like they own a big company or are challangers to the president post?

  I've started dressing very modest at the meetings. No more fancy matching suits. No more dress pants. Just some comfy cotton twill, button up cotton shirt, and a tie.

  Most Irritating Thing About The Jw's

  by integ in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for me it is the smugness.

  it's their inability and refusal to admit they are wrong....ever...even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

  isn't pride a sin?

  ....and how they don't give a damn about you until they "need" something from you, such as use of your house for field service.

  The only reason you would have a #3 talk this week is if you have the CO visit this week. They postpone the Oral Review until next week and do next weeks talks this week if you have the CO visit.
