and more to the point.. why the hell are some americans so obsessed with them?.
i just don't get it.. .
Thanks all, that fills in a bit more of the picture.
Reality TV, that explains everything, I should have guessed.
I always thought the Kardashian fixation was bad enough,
but overweight "hillbillies" who hang out with alleged child molesters?
Who da thought.

no doubt you have heard about the nurse that thumbed her nose to the state and went out of the house in spite of being ordered to stay at home.
what is your opinion on this?.
.
I think if I got exposed to ebola I would tell all and sundry ( via txt or email, obviously) that I have been exposed,
so out of concern for others I will be at home monitoring my temp and taking note of any new symptoms
for the next twenty one days.
I am almost positive everyone would understand and support that decision.
Where does personal responsibility lie in this.
i'm sorry i don't remember her name but in the story her father promises god the first from his house would be sacraficed.
as many know here she was indeed killed and not just given over to temple service.
proving this to a jw would be hard, but i'm wondering was there ever a mention of woman being used at the temple other then when the temple was also a place for asherah worship?
Were'nt there temple prostitutes?
just a random thought - but isn't it interesting that somebody like ashton kutcher can communicate with 16 million followers at the snap of his fingers on twitter, but god apparently needs 7 old dudes in brooklyn to pass a message along to half that many people?.
doesn't that seem just a tad bit inefficient?.
te.
Just a tad!
If they were my PR firm or publicity agent I would be firing their asses.
today i had to drive by several homes of dubs i knew most of my life and it kicked off a longing i have for my siblings and the faux-friends i grew up with.
not necessarily the people in and of themselves, but people who knew me way back when.
being raised in the borg the only "friends" i had were indoctrinated.
When going from door to dooor I would meet people that said;
"JWs break up families"
They were right.
Creating new memories takes time.
Hang in there.
i just realized that all these dates that the borg have said the end would come on or by and then it didn't happen, have stumbled me.
why such a fascination and trying to divine the answer from scripture when scripture plainly says only the father knows the day and the hour?
by their predictions, they actually sent many christians on the path of date-based worship insted of faith-based worship.. if they have stumbled me, then who is reponsible for that?.
The very fact that you have now realized this, shows that you are
havent stumbled, you have regained your balance.
Don't waste too much time playing the blame game
just move on to the next WT myth and debunk it.
ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?
the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.
1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.
You will find similiar categories of "social status" in all walks of life.
"Status anxiety" is very common in environments where shallowness and insincerity
are encouraged and rewarded, and the only thing that matters is appearance.
You should expect that kind of thing to exist in politics or the entertainment industry.
But it is a very enlightening "tell" when it exist in such abundance
amongst the "the happiest, most loving christians on earth"
those who claim to be "the only true religion".
lighthouse.. a pathetic copy of chicago (an over-rep'd band imo).
thoughts?.
.
Aw, I love some Lighthouse songs.
I remember the Australia branch sent a bro to law school so they could be all lawyered up.
Fittingly (if I remember correctly) his name was Bro Toole, very unfortunate name for a lawyer I always thought.
What goes through any lawyer's mind;
"how can I spin this to get my client off the hook" more than likely.
