Of course St.Valentine's day is not as exciting as the 'Memorial'. But I like eating chocolate much better than watching crackers pass me by!

when i was jw, my standard answer to "saint....anything" day was "well, i am not catholic.
" that's still a valid answer that i would feel like giving if i was seriously questioned on any catholic or religious holiday, although i might change it to "well, i am not christian.
but fun is fun.

Do not let the shun-of-a-bitches run your life! If anyone asks, just tell them it was "necessary business" and that it's none of their business!

controversy has arisen regarding jesus versus paul as scholars debate the different emphases and messages of jesus and paul.1 jesus preached the kingdom of heaven.
paul did not.
paul preached justification by faith alone.
The Gb of the wtbts ignores them both and preaches their own brand of religion! IMHO

where a few of us here on the forum live is in an emergency situation.
the main spillway on oroville dam -- the tallest dam in the usa -- is damaged.
the emergency spillway, never used before in the 48 years the dam has operated, is eroding.. major confusion and panic occurred when the order went out sunday, late afternoon: this is not a drill!.
I live in Northern California about 70 miles from Oroville. I hear from the local brothers that because it is a man made dam it is failing! If it was a goddam it would be fine!
The failure of this damn spillway is just another sign that the "end is near". Damn the dam!

for those who like stats and numbers may find this of interest.. 1914 – recognizing the ”the elephant in the room”.
the problem with the date ”1914 ad” lays with the two calendars that are involved – jewish and gregorian.
Ignore the facts and just go with the lunatic bullsh*t from the wt. 'Ignorance is bliss' and "Welcome to the best way of life" lol

i was at the meeting last night and the dreadful video about caleb and sparlock was forced upon the audience.
honestly, i had forgotten how bad it was.
the mother's manipulative over-reaction and caleb's acceptance that his toy was evil.

Does your wife watch any of the Disney movies? They are full of witches and wizardry. Frozen is a good example. Has your wife ever been to Disneyland? The MAGIC KINGDOM?

came across this article regarding non jw relatives.
the hypocrisy in this article is astounding.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/102003808#h=10.
my comments are in yellow.. .

It's good that you found this information and I certainly agree that the wt is extremely hypocritical. They speak out of both sides of their pompous butts. Unfortunately, if we use this information to show the wt's hypocrisy we will simply be informed that this is 'old light'. After all it's 14 year old information and god's organization is progressive. lol

Those 1913 years must be counted as Jewish years of 360 days each – they do NOT suddenly become Gregorian years of 365.2425 days.
In jw land, this is know as math-magic! Same way that every number in Revelation is symbolic except 144,000 which 'magically' becomes literal!

two ironys here... first of all the title "keep in expectation as jehovahs day draws near" - (this talk is from 2006!!
) i suppose 11 years isnt near enough.
second is that geoffrey jackson, of all people, is giving a talk that goes on and on about liars and how jehovah never lies.
Just a few words that have an entirely different meaning for jw's
Near---Soon---Clearly---Loving
