I always pictured him as a Moses like character from My Book Of Bible Stories. Then when they drew him in Revelation I was so dissappointed, it was terrible, the face that was all light, he was yellow....my God wasn't yellow at all. And he wasn't wearing a stupid looking crown, come on God Almighty wearing something that looked like the Burger King crown, this is a God that created accessories, any crown God picked would be kickin'. So disillusioned I still pictured God as Moses.

Who Does Jehovah Resemble?
by Englishman inas a small boy, i pictured jehovah as resembling finlay currie, the kindly old boy who played roles in solomon & sheba and the 10 commandments.. .
later on, probably thanks to paul hogans influence, i started to picture jehovah as resembling charlton heston.. .
i still picture him as a bearded gentleman, wearing a dressing gown and sandals, surrounded by billowing clouds.. then again if i think of the creator, or lord, he doesn't seem to be the same entity as jehovah.. strange, isn't it?.

Do you remember when you first Googled "Jehovah's Witnesses"?
by Funchback ini remember when i first googled "jehovah's witnesses".
i was sick to my stomach because i feared that i was disobeying jehovah.
although i was scared that i would find something "apostate" or "demonic", i still continued to click on different links.

I don't think I used Google, but the search tool on the side of Internet Explorer. I was so nervous, I actually did get the sick to my stomach feeling but then I got to the support board set up by Tishie and everything was ok from there. They were all so nice and such, then I found FreeMinds and The Outreach UK with Anton's judicial committee meeting, I was hooked ever since.

I thought I was going to be the only one who chose something non-alchoholic, my favorite drink was Surge which they don't make anymore, Then it was Double Fudge Yoohoo, which they also don't make anymore. If I like something it's the kiss of death for the product.

american lunch is at 12 noon, the uk is 1pm.
american dinner is at 6pm, uk eats around 7.. but how many hours do you need to actually work?.

Speaking of work I got to log in again, plus I have my gameboy game paused.

As sad as it sounds I'd vote for a Ficus plant if it had a chance of winning the presidency from George W.

THE APOSTACY GAME anyone can play
by Terry inif you change religions by changing your mind and moving on to something "better", then, technically you are an apostate.. consequently, unless you are born a jw you have to abandon another religion to become a jw.
so, being an apostate is a good thing if you abandon some other religion; but, if you abandon the jw's you are bad.. martin luther abandoned catholicism.
he was an apostate.

Hey where's the game part? I was expecting something where I was shooting bibles, or some sort of quiz. But yes Apostacy is fun, easy and fufilling.

I don't know what I was, everyone knew I didn't want to be a witness anymore. People in the congregation would talk to me about when I was leaving. Then I just stopped going, I made an appearance at the memorial about two years after I left but it was too creepy, I haven't set foot near one since then. Well other than to put a wrestling flyer up on the door to "advertise, advertise, advertise" my next show.

Definetly happier here! I always had a problem with the phrase "Biting and knashing of their teeth" if you think about it, it makes no sense. I can knash my teeth, but how would I bite my own teeth? It's a relief to say what I want since leaving, and Tuesday nights are the greatest time to stay home :)

As the polar opposite of Nos' post we has Brother Long Winded
Bookstudy Conductor: What is the name of the one true God? .... Brother Long-Winded
(All the teenagers in the study sigh in anticipation of the bookstudy going an hour longer than it's supposed to)
Brother Long-Winded: Well as we can see in Genesis 1:1 God who's name is Jehovah brought light into the world, I figured I'd bring in a little known prophesy about Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a Donkey with Palm Leaves underneath him *caugh* I know everything *caugh*, as we can see in Isaiah 23:49 it says that the seed of the lamb, subreference John 22:10, Genesis 47:1, Revelation 20:12, and 1 Corinthians 15:33 which doesn't have much to do with anything but I thought I would bring in because the children of this hall need to know that bad associations spoil useful habits. So Isaiah prophesied that the seed would ride into God's City, subreference Genesis 8:13, Leviticus 13:2, John 5:4 (starts laughing) You don't get it do you....(starts laughing uncontrolably) that's actually a blank scripture, I put it in there to see if you were paying attention! That God's seed would ride into Jerusalem riding on an ass...
Brother Teen Angst (interrupting): Ah so you were around in Bibical times then?
Brother Long-Winded: (ignoring Brother Teen Angst) and sure enough he would be treading on top of Palm leaves which as we see is fufilled in Luke 12:12, John 6:17, Matthew 9:4 and Romans 11:37, which all proves the point that God's name is Jehovah.
