  Hey Guys,
  
  Nothing in particular to Rant about this morning.
  
  Just wanted to shout out to you guys this...
  
  Isn't it just GREAT to relax on a Sunday Morning???
  
  I mean... like normal people.
  
  No guilt. Nothing to do.
  
  Just relaxing. Playing with the puppies. Triming the plants outside.
  
  Right before I stopped going and I was still a MS, our Hall was switching their meeting times around.
  
  There were other options availalbe, but the head elder. (and yes trollers, you and I know very well there is an head elder.)
  
  Anyway, he opted to have the Theo School on FRIDAY NIGHT and the Watchtower on SUNDAY AT 4 PM.
  
  Which, you all know, is the most inconvenient time you can ask for.
  
  So...
  
  I felt like I was begging the Head Pharasee Chief... And I told him to the effect, "Please make the load a little lighter for the friends. This is not a convenient schedule."
  
  And I kid you not, his response was... "The meetings aren't here to be convenient for the friends."
  
  Thanks.
  
  Going out for coffee in a little...

  I'm slowly becoming a afficianado of cigars...
  
  For you smokers...
  
  Cubans were real good, but a little overrated. Probably good if you bought them straight from a humidor. But most cigars shipped lose a little on the shipping.
  
  I found that the Ashtons are the best. Followed by CAO (an Italian Cigar smoked on the Sopranos).
  
  I didn't like the Romeo Juliets.
  
  I also found the the corrona size is good.

  Turns out that my dog has been escaping through a hole in the fence every day. And returning before I got home.
  
  CRIMONY!!!!

  The Glory Days Are Over

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is no doubt in my mind that the glory days of jehovah's witnesses are over.

  from my knowledge and experience with wt history, i would define the glory days as the decades of the 1950's, 1960's and early 1970's.

  with knorr's great expansionary vision and discipline, dubs in the 1950's became a "somebody" in the 1950's.

  RR,
  
  It goes back to that...
  
  "Don't say you're lucky... But it's ok to say your fortunate."
  
  It's the same damn thing.

  Nuts,
  
  It's part of the propaganda routine.
  
  Next time you're around the dubs, try saying this...
  
  "The Lord is my Savior. I Love the Lord."
  
  Lets see how many strange looks you get.
  
  WE do. WE love Jesus. Jesus is our Savior.
  
  The believe that, too.
  
  But they are big on their politically correct saying stuff.

  JW Wrongdoers Unable To Pray?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  my dad, who was po of several different largish congregations at varying times, sat on a number of jc's during his lifetime.. he maintained that alleged wrongdoers confessed to being unable to pray to jehovah between committing the actual sin and appearing before a jc.. he told me that this was invariably the case and that confessing wrongdoers felt a great sense of relief after appearing before a jc because they were able to pray once more.. totally unable to pray..psychological, perhaps?.

  The WT way...
  
  There is NO WAY of coming to Jehovah without guilt unless you lived an unabashed double life.
  
  You preach all day about being clean, but you yourself know very well that you're wacking off thinking about the hot married sister sitting in the KH.
  
  It's part of the guilt equals works thing.

  Love you Brummie,
  
  I'm still going to visit you one day.
  
  But Marilyn Manson...
  
  While I'm not a tremendous fan of his, he does have a pretty good beat.
  
  Some of his songs, "Dope Show" in particular. Are pretty good if you just put away "what he's all about."

  Corvin, Someone needs to tell your ex-wife and the elders... To prove yourself righteous and obey the faithful and discreet slave, you must not go to group therapy.
