Why and I still a Newbie?

by WTLies in

jw
friends

i've been a member of this forum for about 4 years now.

there are members who have been here less time than me who are now "jedi masters" and "senior members" yet i'm still a newbie.

is it because i only have 61 posts?

WTLies, In order to become a Jedi Knight, you must have the greatest concentration and dilligence. You must not only feel the Force flowing in you, but you must also recognize that you ARE the force in that you are indistinct from the Force. You have to not only give quality posts, but also respond in inane question notes with a "Same Thought" or the sharp-witted "ROFL". You will then be ascertained to be a Senior Member. Once this is learned, the doors to using the Force will be open to you, and you can balance rocks on top of another, and also create inane question threads of your own. You will eventually feel an inner compulsion that compells you to add your own powers to help defeat a dread Troll. At that point you will have become a Master Member and the innocence of the Newbie acolyte period will be removed almost from your own personal memories. In the journey down the road of message-board esoteticism, there is no turning back, only subtle shades of cut-n-paste.

After that you have to prove to Simon you are a Jedi Knight by lifting an Auxillary Pioneer's car out of the Dagobah swamp just by raising your hands and looking extremely constipated, then posting your 1000th post. Once you hit 2000 posts you become Evil and stop using your posting powers for good.

any pipe smokers in here?

i started smoking a pipe (yes, tobacco.

it's just so nice to sit back and relax in the evening with a good pipe.

You ever try a meerschaum pipe? I got one a couple of months ago. The pipe is white but it gets a nice toasty color while you smoke it

El, I love my old meerschaum. I got an "estate sale" one, a Petersen that's been so well smoked the bottom is brown now. It's chipped but smokes great. I am starting to prefer it over briar (and, yes, I like the lowly corncobs sometimes too). I think i've been putting enough hints in to my GF that I get a "Claw" meer for Christmas. I get my tobacco from the same store Jerry Lee Lewis does. Goodness, gracious.

My girlfriend's a bit odd that way. She likes the sweet tobaccos ok, but she's crazy about Syrian stuff.. Latakia. I think it smells like cat urine mixed with nuclear waste myself, until you smoke it, then it smells like burning wet leaves (to me), but its a good smoke and it does not cause "tongue bite"

i loved the recent topic asking what each of our screen names means.

great question as i have always wondered about quite a few of our screen names.

as i was reading the responses, i looked at holey cheeses - king of the juice's avitar and thought about how i have been wondering for the past three years, what the hell that is a picture of.

I smoke a pipe quite regularly. Sometimes cigars, mostly pipes. I agree about the evening thing. That's mostly when I like to smoke. My favorite smoke, when I can get it, is this Danish stuff made by Dan Tobacco company, called Blue Note, but if I'm buying some baccy from the local drug store I get Captain Black most often. What do you smoke el?

"1983 From Kurukshetra To Armageddon And Your Survival"

I have never seen this befroe. Is this a WTS publication? Sounds like a book to preach to Hindus. I wonder if they actually regarded the Kurukshetra battle as historical. Most Christians don't.

Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...

by dolphman in

jw

ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

gitasatsangha

as I said, the symbollogy is misunderstood, it's not masonic. I'm not going to go into it publically again because I don't like people thinking I am some kind of a kook, but I do know a little of what I am talking about when it comes to this.

"Volunteer Ministers" - Background checks?

by Uzzah in

i am very active as a volunteer with an international relief organziation.

a few weeks back i attended a volunteer management seminar hosted by this group.. even in times of disaster, any and all volunteers have to go through a screening process, including 2 interviews plus a police background check.

this is not a 'suggestion' but it was inferred that canadian law requires this to be done for any volunteer based organization when the volunteers would have direct access to the public or be put in a position of trust.. bethel proudly declares their force of volunteer ministers at the branch as well as calling publishers by the same name.

gitasatsangha

It would just be another step in the USA becomming a police state. Any time that a authoritarian regime has wanted to take away someone's rights, they usually do it "For the Children"

Sunspot, The evidence is misunderstood. He's not a free and accepted mason, you an believe that or not. If you have any relatives who are lodge members, they can verify that for you.
