  The longest registered newbie

  i am an ex-witness who faded from the religion about 4 years ago.

  interestingly, i am not new to this board because i have been lurking here for over 2 years and enjoying the great wealth of spiritual food here.

  i feel so connected with many of the posters here because of my passive involvement with this board.

  Is there a better way to do this image thing, by the way? I see people put gigantic images into their posts....how come it won't work for me?

  Geez, Mike. Even if you're totally innocent, why not find a less controversial way to show your love?

  Grrrr....this isn't working. Well, here's a link to my uploaded file. It's a bit small, but apparently I'm limited to 500x500 pixels.

  A culture of conservationism?

  i'm currently going back to school to study biology and biomimicry.

  i'm hoping to work to develop green technologies - better energy sources, better product packaging, better waste disposal, and so on.

  i'm concerned for the earth, and i sometimes wish that everyone would suddenly start consuming less or more responsibly, but i realize that it simply will not happen overnight.

  what to do in a terrorist attack

  the us government has a new website, http://www.ready.gov.

  it's another attempt at scare mongering in the style of the old "duck and cover" advice after wwii.. .

  Scully,

  That was some of the finest gut-splitting laughter I've had from printed material in some time. ** wipes away a tear ** Thank you.

  St. Patty's Day is definitely cool, but if anyone would like to meet earlier, I certainly would be game for that as well. What about a weekend in January, say, the 17/18 or the 24/25? I probably have one of the most flexible schedules, so I probably shouldn't be in the driver's seat here, but I'm just tossing it out there. I've never been to Buco Di Beppo, so that would be fun for me.

  I guess I just mean to say, you apostates are so damn fun, I'll hang out with ya anytime! If you arrange it, I will come.

  feb 15 watchtower: apostates - guard against deception

  don't you wish this were the real title of the 2nd study article?

  well, it is, minus the word apostate.

  That has always been a mind-boggling concept to me: that anyone, be they angel or human, would decide after experiencing life in the glorious light of Perfect Radiance, the presence of the Creator Himself, would decide that it would be much cooler to steal candy from babies and watch porn flicks and kick cute little puppy dogs and otherwise have a royally fun, ungodly time for a few years. If life in God's organization was so unfathomably better than anything outside, you'd expect that no intelligent being would possibly choose it, let alone perfect intelligent beings.

  So really, the fact that intelligent people choose to leave "God's organization" should be a major red flag indicating that all is not what it appears.

  asleif_dufansdottir: Your husband is a PhD student in ecology? That's awesome. What type of fields are available to a person with that degree?
