many skeptics assert that the bible must be wrong, because they claim that the ark could not possibly have carried all the different types of animals.

Fossil ‘graveyards’ around the world, where the bones of many animals were washed together, buried, and fossilized, are evidence for a watery cataclysm like Noah's flood.
This kind of reasoning is straight out of the "Watchtower school of adapting facts to fit our reasoning" Shamless, stupid and often very funny
whenever people look at my cd collection, they'll come across blue oyster cult, black sabbath, iron maiden, led zeppelin, etc.
but then they'll come across something unusual.. right now i'm listening to "kenny rogers - ten years of gold".
my parents had this album, and i loved it.
Reggae. Hated it then, hate it now
i love the darkness.
i'm so glad that i can now enjoy this music, despite f words...whatever.

yxl1:You were never a "Queen" fan, then?
Littletoe,
I was a HUGE Queen fan. The day Freddie died was such a sad sad day. (I even bought two copies of Barcelona!!!) That is why I dont like the darkness. Queen walked a fine line between tongue-in-cheek pomp and serious rock. The darkness are just a novelty band, who IMHO just dont cut it. Their guitar tones are a ripoff of Brian Mays, but appart from that, there is no similarites between the two.
The best British Rock band out there that can be compared to Queen are a devonshire band called Muse...These guys REALLY ROCK!!!

They SUCK!
i used to suffer with depression.
it happened to me twice, the second time was far worse than the first.
each episode lasted several years.
Thanks for the post Englishman. My mother has just been diagnosed with the big D, and since then most of her close JW friends have been avoidiing her. She gets the occational visit from the Elders telling her that she should reenter the pioneer school to help with her problems.
Since the diagnosis, my sisters and I have made a real effort to include mum in everything. Physical activities seem to help her the most and she's enjoying helping out when I take the kids swimming. Like you, I've given her a few paperback novels to read (which she hasnt done in decades).
The best part was when she accepted my invitation for X-mas dinner. She even bought a few prezzies for the kids!!!! (My wife nearly fainted) and even though she was very quiet throughout dinner, she did enjoy herself. (and I promised not to tell anyone..Ooops)
All the best Eman
in the foreword of ray franz's book 'in search of christian freedom', he says: .
"there is yet another, very significant, side to the matter.
many persons seek only a negative freedom.
Many seem so consumed by bitterness and ill-feeling toward the organisation that they seem mired in a permanent state of negativity, some even losing all faith in God and Christ and lapsing into agnoticism, atheism, or giving free reign to the desires of the flesh in all it's various forms.Isn't it time to learn to move on to something more positive....to real freedom...
Oh my God. Is this a joke? Methinks maybe you stayed a little too long as a Hovah, and are having problems getting rid of some of their irritating, patronizing ways...Mmmm?
BTW, Thanks for the laugh this morning Avishai, that was a real treat!

i just saw this on witness world web site and had a few laughs.
how many of you were this pathetic when you were a witness?
devon
an inanimate object did speak to me
Was it an Elder or a MS? Haw Haw Haw.
I though this kind of stuff was weird when I was a Dub. Now it just sounds creepy. These people just get stupider and stupider
feb 15 watchtower: apostates - guard against deception
don't you wish this were the real title of the 2nd study article?
well, it is, minus the word apostate.
Sadly, I can only imagine that this article WILL prevent a lot of witnesses from listening to the truth about the "truth". This is the kind of article that witnesses I know will quote from whenever I mention an internet article or a point of reasoning.
However, it does show that the Watchtower Inc. are frightened of the effects sites like this are having, and that can only be a good thing.
today was a good day.
saturday, no witnessing, no meeting prep, no skirt and no dubs, no rush to do anything in particular, went to the mall to get some things, bumped into my brother (non dub) and his partner and my 3yo neice, had coffee with them and hubby, chatted, came home, kelpie dropped by to visit, went grocery shopping with my neighbour, ......................just to mention a few things.
doing what i wanted to do!.
There was a massive witchhunt just before I got married. The local Elders had heard that my future wife and I were "doing the do" before our wedding day. Apparently while they were interviewing a DF person for re-instatement, he said that he'd seen us kissing at a bus stop. The phone calls to anyone that knew us started and gossip went around the KH like fire. When that failed to get the results they were looking for, they phoned my sister who had just left home because of the Dubs. My sister told them what she thought of them while using as many F-words and C-words as possible. She also warned them that if they messed around with her kid brothers wedding, she'd be sending her boyfriend around to have a personal "chat" with this Elder. When the Elder hung up, she dialed 1471, and called him back to continue her rant! Needless to say, our wedding day went ahead as planned!
Thanks sis
when you were a jw,.
did u feel guilty about throwing out old copies of the watchtower even if you had the yearly bound volumes?
my mom won't do it.
Am I right in assuming JW's dont recycle? That is a shame.
