ok, i'll admit it.
i've seen it twice, and i'm going to see it again saturday.. i even take my daughter and her friends as cover (lol).. some of you know my daughter is on the drumline at her school, and next year she'll be stepping up to the big time as she joins a nationally ranked marching band in the area.
she happens to play snare drum, which is the instrument featured in the movie and damn she is good.
Ahhh, those trips home from the out-of-town games, snuggled in the back of the bus with a young lovely from the clarinet section... ahhh... the football team never knew what they were missing. :)
Thanks for the notice, Lisa. Never heard of it, but I'll look for it now!
(The Lord would have been proud of how I taught those winsome willing woodwinders to call on his name)

this subject has bothered me for 5 years now.. eventually the day will come where i'll need to tell my folks i'm no longer a jw.
my oldest son (who is 3) is getting to the age where he talks about everything from birthday cakes to christmas trees.
we were able to get away with birthdays and holidays so far, but now is becoming increasingly difficult to stop him from talking about them when the family's around.. should i write a letter?
I say don't be a coward and disassociate yourself; disassociate yourself without being a coward. (Of course, I say a lot of stuff... judge its value for yourself) Quit deceaving your JW family (I don't spell very well, do I). Get on with your life and let them go on with theirs, of course theirs will be much long that yours. Does that make any sense--"much long that yours"? Hmm... where was I? Oh yeah... all those living empty lives are just kidding themselves. How many generations have died since the generation that would not die? No, wait... that's not my point... hang on, gotta go bone up on some more society tofu, I'm slipping. Rom. 3:11 tells you why.

Tell them they can email me at [email protected]
I'll give them the JW official public party line instead of the truth.
wih the permission of simon, i would like to start a thread to act as a collection of thought, quotes and miscellany on atheism and agnosticism.
there are so many other threads on this subject but no one place which one can go to on here.
i have much to share - enjoy and contribute with me please.give me the storm and stress of thought and action rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith.
Toast and writhe in agony in the unceasing flames of torment forever for not bowing before the God of Love, you demonic filth.
ok, question for all the non dubs.
am i the only one who went totally wild (sexually) when i got df'd?
well, i actually went wild when i turned 21 and became inactive.
This is by far the stupidest thing I've ever read in my life.
Stay tuned. I'm hardly even started yet.

out: Certainly that is one easy case, in that I can simply say it would not be appropriate to comment on that case since I do not know all of the details, nor what went on during the elders investigation of the case. Of course, not knowing the details doesn't stop me from commenting on other cases and generalizing the whole situation in to one simple conclusion; nor does it prevent my setting up a straw man to fight so that I can avoid facing the real situation; but that's the nature of sanctimonious self-appointed overseers of purity like me.
I do not consider myself a fool for waiting on Jehovah; that should demonstrate to you the depth of my delusion. Jesus waited on Jehovah (except when he didn't), and God knows I'm going to make the comparison to myself here so that all of you (most especially me) can see how humble and holy and pure I really am. Jesus did have the power to take care of all his accusers and those that assassinated him. He could have had them any day. He only let them go so long out of kindness, I suppose.
Really you should not minimize my faith or the faith of any other Witnesses. It's minimal enough on its own; but it's all we have. I'm by far the humblest and holiest guy here, and damn proud of it, too!
If the organization went in a contrary way of Jehovah's will, then I know he would not look upon them in favor. For example, if they ever accept traditions of men and teach lies, I'll accept those lies because they're the ones who taught them, just the same as I accept that Jehovah's will is whatever they say it is. It's a catch-22, of course, and my loyalty to those murderous monsters will win out over any twinge of conscience I might ever have. In the end, we have to have faithful to the Watchtower and its word.
