  any music fan who watched the super bowl last night could rightly walk into work this morning and say, "did you see the bears and colts play football during prince's concert?".

  Why no separate section for poetry?

  i have seen incredible numbers of poems on this board since i came here.. the renga challenge, started by littletoe is an outstanding one at present.. there is a topic for humor, and for adult.. i think poetry is so obviously important to many on this board it should have its own topic section.. hb.

  Yes, I too wrote much poetry about the JWs when I left the lie, and for a few years after. Maybe I should get a site together, unless we could get a spot here, and that would be much cooler. Simon?

  ok, i just had to vent.

  i found out somebody in our local minneapolis/saint paul meetup has been harassing one of our meetup attendees.

  this person has been getting multiple phone calls from this person even though they've been told in a gentle way "i'm not interested, back off, you're old enough to be my dad.

  ColdRedRain-

  You twice stressed some 12th commandment," Thou shall not shitteth in thy own backyard."

  So, what the hell is the 11th commandment?

  How could there be a need for a GB/slave class to teach?

  1 john 2:26,27 26 i am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray.

  27 but you have received the holy spirit, and he lives within you, so you dont need anyone to teach you what is true.

  for the spirit teaches you everything you need to know, and what he teaches is trueit is not a lie.

  i remember when i had a seasonal job and worked 40 or 50 hours a week, i missed many meetings, cause i was too tired to go to a 2 hour meeting.. i prefered to rest or keep that precious time for myself.. when i was layed off, then i found the time and energy to go to my meetings..

  Once I left pioneering and got a real job I was much less critical of those who missed meetings due to illness and/or exhaustion. Two months after working I realized something had to give ... so initially Tuesday night, then Thursday night, then Sunday. Then I used those meeting times to really study the Word and then came the letter writing to the GB. They told the elders that if I attended the meetings this wouldn't happen. Yeah, exhausted and worn out from the badgering, there is little desire to contradict or expose the WTS lies.

  Sir-

  Maybe you can issue me a part in the program this Sunday as a guest speaker (gotta get that short haired wig). "Brothers, sisters, and those threatened not to speak, tonight the Governing Body has sent me, to give you the good word. The preaching work is over. The message was bogus. The books were a hoax. Resume and detach."
