interview with mickey spillane:.
http://www.crimetime.co.uk/interviews/mickeyspillane.html.
you were raised a catholic, right?.
I'm going to personally stand up for Mickey on this one.
I know Mickey and he's a great guy. If anything is wrong, blame the borg.
Mickey has been the target of the brother for a long time. He's been in and out of DF, Public Reproof, etc for years.
He's just a guy that's doing his best.
Confucious
hey guys,.
my girlfriend dragged me into her yoga class.
loved it.. i think the wt said that yoga was bad.. at first i was weary, because i always viewd yoga with being a sin.. but then i realized.... stretching and excercise is not a sin.. .
Special K,
I would recommend you try it.
Keep in mind this. 70 percent of the class looks like a fool in those poses because they hop around. So they won't judge you.
30 percent of the class are experts, but to get there - they also remember being the bonehead.
Relax and have fun!!!

Confucious say,
Stretching not a sin... unless done with no clothes on and in crazy ass position.
My girlfriend is a stripper and she banned me from ever seeing her work.
So it was part of a plea bargain... I go to a class of yoga in exchange for watching her work.
Well worth the trade.
First of all, Yoga is fantastic. It makes you feel GREAT.
I guess more than anything, as a guy - it was the stigma of doing a "girls" thing.
But I tell you, Yoga is absoulutly amazing. It really relaxes you.
It's not as hard as you think. The instructor said that out of cardio, muscle and balance. Balance comes the fastest.
I strongly recommend it.
And for anyone who is interested, watching my girlfriend strip is amazing. She actually quite talented dancer.

dear anyone who might be reading this from bethel:.
first of all, i am a "brother" in the congregation.
i'm not going to meetings, nor am i following your unwritten rules - but i am not df or da.. there are two articles in the june 15, 2003 watchtower that you should be ashamed of.. the first article is on pope alexander vi.. here, the article bashes the pope (whom by the way, i don't think deserves anything less).. however, the article talks about everything from him living in luxury, affairs and other bad stuff he's done.. and then the article brings out, (paraphrasing) "well, if this guy is so bad, what does it tell about the religion.".
Mary,
They never bribed anyone in Mexico...
It was just a matter of "simple giving."

Will Power,
The situation with Malawi is the same "feel" as this bribery article. This girl doesn't participate in a custom and gets persecuted - but she is doing for God's sake, right?
It's so the dubs can say, "Boo Hoo. See how persecuted we are?"
Jesus said it right. He taught, "when you are fasting, grease your hair and wash your face so that you may not be fasting as to men - but to God."

Thanks Steph for the scan of the article.
I'm not judging the girl for taking the stance. That is her preogative.
But in actuality, how many examples do you know of "straining the gnat and swallowing the camel."
Honor your teacher in this case - seems to be corbin.

I wish I had a scanner that could do that for you.
If anyone has one, it's the issue with Jesus - Did he walk to earth cover.
Thanks

Dear Anyone who might be reading this from Bethel:
First of all, I am a "brother" in the congregation. I'm not going to meetings, nor am I following your unwritten rules - but I am not DF or DA.
There are two articles in the June 15, 2003 Watchtower that you should be ASHAMED OF.
The first article is on Pope Alexander VI.
Here, the article bashes the Pope (whom by the way, I don't think deserves anything less).
However, the article talks about everything from him living in luxury, affairs and other bad stuff he's done.
And then the article brings out, (paraphrasing) "Well, if this guy is so bad, what does it tell about the religion."
Shame on you, Bethel.
How dare you write an article bashing another religious leader?
Any mention of Judge Rutherford, and his alcoholism, his living in luxury, Beth Sarim, never going out in field service, his luxury cars PAID FOR by hard working followers - and what answer do we get???
He's an imperfect man and Jehovah is using imperfect people and it is UNFAIR to speak about someone like that.
Does not the same rule apply to the Catholic Church?
Believe me, I am no fan of the Catholic Chuch, but you can't have it both ways.
Next time, someone says something about Rutherford, HOW DARE YOU say ANYTHING in defense except for, he is a man who was bad and we should be ASHAMED of him for what he has done.
Is this not the same that you ask of the Catholic Church?
ARTICLE TWO is the one on the back cover.
It was titled "Simply a Custom or Bribery."
Without going into detail, the Watchtower is binding up Heavy Loads on their followers.
The article tries to tie in a giving of a gift with bribery.
The point is, Jesus did not make a law on bribery. But he did cover it with one principle - that we should love our neighbor.
A person who is a Christian can determine for themselves what is appopriate or note. How DARE you impose on "Jesus the Living Christs" ability to show each of his followers what is and is not appropriate.
The hypocrisy in this is that NOW, the Watchtower imposes this "NEW UNWRITTEN RULE" about determining what exactly IS and IS NOT a bribe - even though Jesus NEVER condemned giving a bride. It's just that neither HE OR HIS FATHER WOULD ACCEPT ONE.
I'm not defending BRIBES - I'm just saying it's NOT A RULE.
But hypocrisy here is that - what did the Society do when it signed up for the UN's NGO???
Even if it was for a "Library Card," is this not compromising principles and "offering a bride" to get something in return?
I find these two articles APPAULING and indefensible from your standpoint.
As a BROTHER in the congregation - I am TEACHING the Society that you are WRONG to have published this article.
By the way, if you CAN'T defend the actions of writing this article, you will probably attack me - a "BROTHER" since I'm not going to meetings and field service, etc. etc. etc.
But just so you know, the points are vaild and if you attack me personally - it would be no different that when the Pharasee's attacted the blind man - "YOU WERE ALL TOGETHER BORN IN SIN AND YET YOU ARE TEACHING US???"
Confucious
on the last day of his trip a publisher hooked a monster fish and proceeded to reel.
it in.. the publisher, holding a net, yelled, "look at the size of that son of a bitch!".
"son, i'm an elder.
On the last day of his trip a Publisher hooked a monster fish and proceeded to reel
it in.
The Publisher, holding a net, yelled, "look at the size of that Son of a Bitch!"
"Son, I'm an elder. Your language is uncalled for!"
"No, Brother, that's what kind of fish it is--a Son of a Bitch fish!"
"Really? Well then, help me land this Son of a Bitch!"
Once in the boat, they marveled at the size of the monster.
"Brother, that's the biggest Son of a Bitch I've ever seen."
"Yes, it is a big Son of a Bitch. What should I do with it?"
"Why, eat it of course. You've never tasted anything as good as a Son of
a Bitch!"
Elated, the elder headed home.
While unloading his gear and his prize catch, his Pioneer wife inquired about his trip.
"Take a look at this big Son of a Bitch I caught!"
The Pioneer Siter gasped and clutched her field service bag, "Elder!"
"It's OK, Sister. That's what kind of fish it is--a Son of a Bitch fish!"
"Oh, well then, what are you going to do with that big Son of a Bitch?"
"Why, eat it of course. The guide said nothing compares to the taste of a
Son of a Bitch."
Sister Pioneer informed the Elder that the new Circuit Overseer was scheduled to visit
in a few days and that they should fix the Son of a Bitch for his dinner.
"I'll even clean the Son of a Bitch", she said.
As she was cleaning the huge fish, the Presiding Overseer walked in. "What are you doing
Sister?"
"My husband wants me to clean this big Son of a Bitch for the new Circuit Overseer's
dinner."
"Sister! I'll clean it if you're so upset! But Please watch your language!"
"No, no! , no, it's called a Son of a Bitch fish".
"Really? Well, in that case, I'll fix up a great meal to go with it, and
that Son of a Bitch can be the main course!
Let me know when you've finished cleaning that Son of a Bitch."
On the night of the new CO's visit, everything was perfect.
The Presiding Overseer had prepared an excellent meal. The wine was fine, and the fish
was excellent.
The new CO said, "This is great fish, where did you get it?"
"I caught that Son of a Bitch!" proclaimed the proud elder.
The CO's eyes opened wide, but he said nothing.
"And I cleaned the Son of a Bitch!" exclaimed the Sister.
The CO sat silent in disbelief.
The Elder added, "And I prepared the Son of a Bitch, using a special
recipe!"
The new CO looked around at each of them.
Slowly a big smile crept across his face as he said,
"You mother fuckers are my kind of people."
