  What Would You Say If Someone Expressed Interest In Being A JW???

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  if someone told you that they thought the witnesses seemed like good people and that they were thinking of having a bible study with them, would you try to persuade them not to?

  would you just keep quiet, hoping they would see things for themselves?.......if you are still a witness (technically), would you subtlely or overtly tell them to run??

  ?

  Like others here, I would set their facts straight, at least. You can't change a person's mind. They have to do that.

  Hmm.. maybe i would send 'em to this page.

  That would cause a temporary boom in the population of carrion eaters. And what do they do when the toilet paper and maxipads are all gone.

  i'm new here (not a baptized jw) and was just wondering about those in here who are against the jws.

  does it mean you no longer wish to live in the kingdom that jesus christ preached about -- the paradise earth conditions before adam and eve sinned?.

  ... does it mean you all now believe what christendom teaches about the future -- heaven & hell?

  When I was a little kid, I really believed that Spiderman was real too. I won't go quoting Stan Lee, though.

  false accusations

  false accusations hurt.

  false accusations do damage.

  false accusations are more than just silly, they are ugly and malicious.

  Yeah. Some sister said I was making evil phone calls to her. She was some crazy shut in who was afraid to go get her own groceries, let alone go to the meetings very often. This was an absolute lie. Still I was brought in for a meeting.

  How did I handle it? I told them I didn't do it and that I was insulted to even be there. They basicalyl said they realized the accusation was false but they were "only following theocratic order" by sorting the mess out. The matter ended then and there, but they never did anything to the crazy woman. That's fine with me.

  Because I know that Jehovahis a doer, not just a talker. Vengeance is mine. We must strive to be godly.

  So in my godlike way I handled matters. Knowing the woman to be paranoid and borderline psychotic, as well as being obsessive about her garden I took care to plant Kudzu in her yard. (This is the South). In addition to spray-painting her dog and throwng pebbles on her window at odd hours of the night, I felt truly refreshed in my ministry. She still stays at home and has put on a great deal of weight from what I hear.

  Never made a single prank phone call.

  ok, Truthy. But your money where your mouth is. I'll bet you $1000 that there is no armageddon by next year. Hell I'll give you a ten year spread. You can even cheat and pray to the Invisible Man to make the day or Burning Anger and Jealousy (God.. what a God!) come sooner, if you like. But don't welsh on me.

  for some of us on this forum, we're so far away from one another.

  out of curiosity, do any of you have any photos of where you are from, or the communities that you live in?

  here's one of toronto.

  Try to get your head around this paradox!

  by DanTheMan in

  i've never heard of this motion paradox.

  i've been reading a book titled the whole shebang by timothy ferris.

  it must take a certain amount of time for the arrow to get halfway to the target.

  This particular logic excersize, was, I think, one of the things that led Einstine to the Theory of General Relativity.

  Case in point: any measure of half the distance can not be based on any constant in time, because there isn't any. We measure time more or less in terms of motion, weather it is counting out 1-mississippi 2-mississippi, using clockwork, quartz pulses, sand in a glass or cesium decay. It is all relative. We have an ideal of what we would like to measure, but just as with distance, there is no universal constant by which to judge it.

  So the arrow is going to hit the target. The function of time is important to do conditions like drag, and trajectory. But both the target and the arrow (and the world they are in gravitational lock around) are in motion, so again there is no way to develop a contant which would lead to this paradox. It is only theoretical.

  Meetingless Sundays: Guilt-Free ..... and Blissful!

  by Room 215 in

  yup, i just reveled in another of these yesterday... what sheer, unalloyed pleasure!

  sleeping an hour or so later, then shedding the pajamas for loose fitting clothes, enjoying a leisurely breakfast with several refills of the coffee mug; an unhurried hour or two with the sunday paper, then a walk with the dog, a short bike ride, a bit of desultory puttering around the garage and backyard; early dinner (or late lunch, however you care to classify it) and a peaceful retreat to easy chari and televiseion as night descends.. to think that unless they're unusually resourceful, proactive and resistant to the proddings of their conscience, an idyll of simple human pleasure like this -- a day of welcome respite and regeneration obviously intended by the creator for his human progeny when he legislated sabbaths-- is forever off limits to faithful dubbies.

  sad indeed

  American elders typically like the NFL. They will do ANYTHING to avoid schedulling meetings past noon on a sunday.
