Harold may be dead but there are 8 guys in Brooklyn that will no doubt come up with a "nu-lite" date for the big "A". The date will 'be implied' not actually stated per se! Just saying!

laughter is regarded as one of the exercises that you all the masses can practice irrespective of the age factor.
studies have proved that laughter indeed is the best medicine when it comes to helping one to improve his mental and physical health immediately.
there are several benefits of laughter that makes it a special behavior.

I know that JW's can't drink the water in the half full glass nor the half empty glass since it's still 100% water. However, if it is broken down into "fractions" can they drink it?
Just asking!

I "served" as an elder on 2 different occassions. From 1972-79 and again from 2000 till 2010. I quit the first time because of doubts after 1975. I was "appoointed by Holy Spirit" again in 2000 so I could help reign in some of the stupid stuff that was happening in our congregation. It sort of helped. I quit believing after 1995.

if so, what is your experience?
i've seen only a few talks by gb members and would like to hear what they're like.
are they personable, aloof, humble, arrogant?
I met Lyman Swingle when he came to deliver the 'dedication' talk for our new KH back in the late 80's here in central California. He seemed very nice and even sort of humble for a guy that had been at Bethel so long. I admire him in a "kinda-sorta way". Didn't he stand up for Ray during the inquisition at first? That's the impression I got from CofC. Anyway he caved in at the end as so many of us have due to peer pressure. Damn peers! Just saying!

i am very interested in hearing from people who really think that people with tattoos are somehow weird or cagey individuals.
i would just like to get your outlook on this matter.
today i was in a grocery store and i sawe this guy with his two kids and his wife shopping.
Where can we get tattoos of THE Governing Body? and where would be the appropriate spot on our body to have said tattoos placed?
Just saying!

"The Grinch movie, eating grinch food , and having alot of fun this last week before Christmas Vacation."
Sounds like "food at the proper time" to me! Just saying!

i remember them stating something to that affect.
does anybody know where this was said?.
After reading jus t some of Rutherford's Rainbow collection I do believe that HE was 'spirit directed'. The 'directing spirit' was 90 proof Canadian whiskey! He had to be in some sort of 'spirit directed', drunken stupor to write some of that hilarious stuff. Gotta give it to him though, he had a lot of us folled for a long time.---Just saying!

eisegesis (formed from the greek preposition ?
"into" and the ending from the english word exegesis, which in turn is derived from ??
"to lead out") is the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that it introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text.
REALLY is not the entire Bible a collection of eisegesis? I mean there were hundreds of "books", leters, epistles, documentaries, and etc.to chose from when the Catholic Church sat down to compile the modern day "Bible". In JW land, they defend the modern Bible as correct by claiming that Jehovah preserved it even though he allowed "Babylon the Great" to be it's guardian. If Jehovah did indeed preserve his word back in the 4th century when it was compiled, I wonder why he didn't see to it then that his NAME was also preserved in the Bible. It's a mystery!----Just saying!
