  She used to post here. We fell out of contact. Went by the handle "Xena." Came originally from Beyond JW. Had a daughter. If anyone knows what happened to her, please let me know. I don't recognize any of the faces here, but if any of you recognize me from a couple, three years ago, WAZAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

  the bible refers to the heart as the seed of motivation.

  You wanna straight answer? Here you go. Back when the bible was written, civilization did not know as much as we do today about the human body. Many ancient cultures actually thought the gray matter in the skull was of no use whatsoever. Anyway, at the time that quote was written, it was not known that the brain is in fact the seat of motivation. More importance was put on the heart than reality dictated. So, since it was just men writing, they wrote what they knew. We know better today so you can forget all about that quote and sleep better.

  A Question for all those who DO live in the US...or anyone else

  by Xena in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  cause unlike some...i value all opinions..even when they don't agree with me .

  so tell me please people....how often do you and your friends sit around saying this: "what other country would you rather live in?

  stated of course in this manner: the question is stated in such a fashion as to say that nothing is better than living in the good 'ol us of a.

  You've got it pretty much right. It's like saying "if you couldn't live in the US, where would you go cause obviously the US is first choice." 80 million illegal immigrants can't be wrong. Me and my girl talk about where we'd like to visit, but to live somewhere else hasn't even been considered in seriousness. I guess 1. because this is such a wonderful place to live and 2. its where we were raised so we are used to the culture and society in the US.

  don't mention a long spiel, just the one or 2 that seem to be on your wavelength.. i'm interested to know as i'm completing an analytical graph data sheet to show who clicks with who most, in a projected sample forum example, and then hope to present my findings on the net.. ok thats bull, but i was just interested anyway.... scoob

  "Well, I don?t know why I came here tonight,
  I got the feeling that something ain?t right.
  I?m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
  And I?m wondering how I?ll get down the stairs.
  Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,Here I am, stuck in the middle with you."

  I will never EVER hear this song again in my life and not think of Reservoir Dogs.

  Don't think I've found someone I can call a real friend here. I'm too abrasive to get close to I think. Too rabidly agnostic, too staunchly conservative on certain issues, don't give enough of a crap if my opinion offends someone. Did find someone on another board who does post here that knows about my soft and squishy middle, but I don't wanna say 'cause that person is tough on the outside too and we have our reputations to protect.

  Do you think ignorance is bliss?

  by obiwan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have you ever had a point in your life, where you get too much information.

  have you ever felt that you were better off not knowing certain things?

  sometimes i think if a person gets too much information, it can cloud their judgement on things.

  I think bliss is recognizing with open eyes those things which you can not know and actually accepting your ignorance with an open mind.

  Oh, the loyal Dubbies will EAT THIS UP...

  from the scifi e-mail list i belong to: .

  bc is partnering with writer david seltzer (the omen) and producer gavin polone to develop a six-to-eight-hour limited series based on the apocalypse as foretold in the book of revelation, variety reported.

  nbc hopes to roll out the series right after its broadcast of the athens olympics in late august, airing an hour a week as an event designed to create momentum for the fall season, the trade paper reported.. set just before the start of armageddon, the series will follow two central characters, a physicist and a nun, who are racing against the clock to see if the apocalypse can be averted.

  You may be right Val. Let me make an alteration then: The JW rank and file will do whatever the GB tells them is the will of Jehovah. If the GB finds that there is too much truth contained in the series, brought forth in a logical and convincing manner, that brings into question the JW way of veiwing Revelation then they will tell the sheep not to watch. If it's way off base and they can safely hold it up as an example of how everyone else has it wrong, then they'll encourage them to view it.

  You know, it's nice not claiming that my predictions and opinions come from the one and only higher power. I can change stuff whenever I want to! It's very liberating. The GB should try it.

  My fience, her daughter, my close family, my self immage as determined set by the standards that I set for myself. That's about it.

  .....oh, and pointing out the idiocy and contradictions of religions people belong to and gods they worship. It's more of a past time, but it almost get's to the status of "sacred" for me.
