interesting ap stories and their headlines yesterday.
notice that in the story on kerry, the headline is, "kerry calls for deeper tax cuts for the middle class" in the article i've highlighted the real news of that story.
which is that he said the gop was the most crooked lying group he's ever seen.
All media is biased, all media is peddling an agenda to pander to the prejudices of it's readership to sell more papers.
As an aside I found this link which demonstrates an important point about the way this current administration as chosen to run things. Yeru you really should read this article
minimus asked if we had ever turned in someone to the elders.
sassy posted that now that she is 'out' she would not mind turning some people in.
its so unloving to keep their sins hidden, they need reproof.
I wouldn't do it, be the better person.
I don't see the point of being all bitter and twisted any more - we are out of their stupid little club and yes most of us have lost family and friends to it, but hey, they are in the club and we aren't any more. Screw them and get on with life. I could write a letter to the body of elders in my father's cong and tell them how he is a fornicating bully who liked to beat the shit out of his kids with metal bars but I will content myself with just having a happy life.
What's the point? Ok, there is a small dot of satisfaction when you cause that person pain by uncovering their hypocrasy but you would be feeeding the hypocrasy of the GB giving them ammunition to treat more people like crap.
edited to add: It's actually more satisfying knowing that they are still in the club leading miserable unfulfilled lives. That should be vengeance enough.
things you have to believe to be a republican today:.
1. being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime,.

Spain is still a wonderful place full of beautiful peole and great food. The first time I worked over there I was bought beer all night by a few guys I met in a bar and got free smoke for the week. Despite the government being adamant it is ETA I would think there is some logistical link to Al Quaida. I was on the subway when they bombed Sol station a few years ago and there were warnings before that blast, this just isn't ETA's MO. Selfishly, and thankfully my friends there are OK and I will be going back for sure.
never did. Made a point of keeping shtum even when I did do something, shame those that dropped me in the shit for smoking when I was 14 couldn't do the same thing.

I've just read the report on the BBC and the general feeling is that it was ETA although this is bigger than anything they have ever carried out before.
My heart goes out to all affected, one of my closest friends is over there and I haven't been able to get hold of him. Madrid is one of my fave cities of the world, I was there when ETA bombed the station at Sol a couple of years ago.

i think most jws are not virgins when they get married.
i'll bet the majority have "fooled around".
what's your opinion?
It's more common than you think, it always has been. Back in the 60's my mum and dad did the dirty before they were married (and dad wasn't my mum's first) and my dad did it with his 2nd wife before they were married while he was an elder. I know of many other couples in their 50's who did too but the trend seems to have been that they did but were not as promiscuous as kids these days - they married their first or second partner. It was the same when I came through teenage years 15 to 20 years ago where people were doing it with a few more people before leaving the dubs.
Did I do it before I was married? I'm df'd, what do you think?
.
u invited the jws,lds,the wcg and pcg together 4 a `bible study'.. what would happen,do u think?
what are the LDS, WCG and PCG?
i have a natural talent of bullshitting and coming up with ideas off of the top of my head.
ideas that work mind you!
but like my ma said, i can bullshit my way out of a paper bag full of cowpie set on fire =d
hmm... there could be an element of truth to that, I am the architypical gemini
you're angry and thoroughly pissed off with all things apertaining to jehovah's witnesses.. you also know that this thread will be read by active jw's.
some of those jw's will be in the brooklyn bethel right now, reading what you write.. so, is there one thing, one belief, one policy, that, if it were to be changed or anulled, would mollify you?.
is there one change that they could make that would stop or lessen the active antagonism that you feel against the wt?.
read the parable of the prodigal son. He wasn't shunned when he decided to visit his father after blowing his inheritance on whores and wine.
read the scripture which tells you not to go beyond what is written (and then show me the scripture that bans beards). This itself should make you question your faith in your publishing company.
