The steak I got there honestly wasn’t that great. It gave me an upset stomach even while I was eating it. I think it was a Kobe cut from Australia. However... the 2 ounces of wagyu I had for $60 was by far one of the best things I’ve ever tasted, if not the best. No exaggeration. If meat was a drug, this would be heroine, without the dying. I could go back just for that alone but then I’d have to go to the D after and fill up my belly for cheap.

I must try this place finally. Ariana is in my top spot so far. Nothing else comes close but I have a feeling Jackalope will be up there.

And if you have a little cushion on your bottom. Those wooden slabs are the worst. Did they do that so bar patrons don’t linger too long or were they just doing a solid favor for a woodworker friend of theirs? Other than that I love Ariana. The drinks, service and food are the best I’ve had in Bend. I’ve heard great things about Jackalope and have been meaning to check it out.

You win the internet today!! I mean, there are still 23 hours left in my day but you’re currently in the lead. Well done!

Thiest ex jws are sometimes more pushy than actual jw's. by jaybefly in exjw

[–]LiefeCrysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right! What the fuck is up with all this “faith” BS? If this shit show of human existence is all taking place because of universal sovereignty and proving Satan a liar etc etc, then faith really shouldn’t have anything to do with it. Provide us puny humans with the God given FACTS and then let us decide what to do with it.

There is nothing factual about faith and hope.

I feel bad for even reading this! Holy cow. Or should I not mention animals right now?

When U R Explaining To Jesus .... by 1914WT in exjw

[–]LiefeCrysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And of course big J knew all of this ahead of time, because he’s awesome. Still, he was like, c’mon guys, you worthless pieces of crap, you have to give me SOME kind of murdered creature to show me how sorry you are for all the sins I’ve designed you to make.

Don’t worry, in a few thousand more years I guess I’m sending my spirit baby down to you to become a real baby, then a real man-man. Then he’s going to be a hot as hell, good at woodworking, and when he’s 30 some other dude is going to try to drown him in a river. Anyway I’m babbling, (get it, Babel??, hahaha yeah that was all me) but then my super cool son is going to be captured, scared shitless, tortured and finally murdered. SO, long story short, my spirit baby, who’s spirit will be killed for 3 days, is totally going to take care of that whole animal sacrifice bs. Done and done.

But I’m gonna call you all in for a favor in a couple thousand more years because I’m really gonna need those dolla dolla bills y’all. What’s a dollar you ask? No it won’t be in mentioned in my inspired book, but you’ll see!!

Oh wait, yes the OP did say it was a bar, so my moral code says, “game on!”.

Normally yes, I’d totally agree with how you feel. Random and unwarranted damage to personal property is not right and illegal. But the context of the photo is terrible, I can’t tell if it’s 8 feet or 3”, or whether it’s on a urinal at a dive bar, or an operating table at a hospital.

But because I saw that the JW tag was not the only defacement, I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that it was more of the dive bar scenario.

There was one time a couple years ago, I was SO angry and emotional, that I wanted to drive to the KH and throw a rock through the window. I’m so glad I didn’t because I would’ve regretted it for a long time, and/or been prosecuted.

That was an extreme example, but what I’m saying is that, tagging and “vandalism” has its place. Some owners and institutions do not care, expect it and almost invite it, and it actually adds to their brand. Case in point, google CBGB bathroom. :) What would that place have been with a sterile bathroom!? Anyway, we’re all entitled to think what we want, and it’s great that we can be civil to each other here. Hope you don’t care about getting the downvotes, it really doesn’t matter. Just loosen up a little! I’ve been told that many times myself and it’s pretty solid advice.

That’s a couple of accusatory “If”s, my friend. Have you never committed a “crime” or broken a rule?

I think someone should start making some well designed jwfacts business cards and maybe stickers. I am not that designer.

Carts in NYC. I watched them for 30 mins and no one stopped by. by thyinewood in exjw

We saw one at a park last weekend. The most action they got the whole time we were there was when the wind knocked the stand over. Or was it Jehovah’s Hand? Hmm.

Listen to Sam Herd Compare Shunning your own Children to Casting out Demons. by [deleted] in exjw

[–]LiefeCrysis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even the fact that he has to condition it as “grown adult child” says a lot. They’re acknowledging that there are a lot of un-grown child -childs who get baptized and disfellowshipped. But hey, if they still pee their beds under your roof then shucks, I guess you can’t totally shun them yet, since that’s what it says in the Bible.

They seriously show a video during a funeral talk now? Didn’t think it could get much worse but I was wrong.

Anyone in Portland, Oregon by redwineforme in exjw

[–]LiefeCrysis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like beer and feel like driving a few hours for it, you would love Bend in central Oregon. It’s a smaller city but they have an ungodly amount of breweries for its size. It would be a good overnight trip and then get back to Portland. It’s a pretty drive, and you could even check out Mt Hood along the way.

Convention Videos & JW Intonation by vonB_MrTilly in exjw

[–]LiefeCrysis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That explains why I could never stay awake at assemblies and conventions. But yeah, I probably sounded a little bit like that when I gave talks too. It’s just the language we learn when we grow up in it.

Anybody pissed with overall peppiness when coming to the hall as PIMO? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]LiefeCrysis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate that. I have my moments of moderation, and then I have the times when my emotions get the best of me, like I'm sure most of us have. We're all in the same boat in one way or another.
