That was actually fairly accurate, aside from the parts about business.
I am not particularly aggresive when it comes to business .... hmmm mind you, if you can count Halo as 'business' then maybe so!
Thanks for the link, off to bug my friends with it.

Another website to ' wet your whistle ' - there are a few interesting quotes on here to maybe further and round out your ideas. I printed this page out a couple of weeks ago and had a scan through the information.

john 10:10the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; i have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
a friend of mine quoted this and applied it to life "right now" - her application was that jesus meant for people to enjoy life now - not always putting off for the future - but to have joy, peace, etc in this life.
this life is a gift in itself.
A very negative guy I associate with who is a wanna-be JW, tells me how this life is about suffering and dwells upon negativity almost constantly. He drags a dark cloud around with him and likes to refer to scriptural accounts that basically depress.
Well, I was sitting on the loo this morning (my throne of reason) thinking about this chap and also reflecting upon my own knowledge of the Christian faith and I recalled Galatians chapter 5 which we all know refers to the fruits of the spirit.
If you believe in spirit and are carried by it then the fruits are supposed to be:
Love - Joy - Peace - Patience - Goodness - Kindness - Faithfulness - Gentleness - Self Control.
To me, those qualities portray a certain mentality and approach to life and while the Christian is mindful of future hopes, surely the point is to put these qualities into action now and stop being so flippin' miserable about the state of the world and get on with enoying life.
I may have to have a quiet word with my friend.
There is nothing wrong at all with enjoying aspects of this life now!
all of my life,, except for the last two years i was a jw, and i wonder if i will always feel like i am still so very different from the rest of most everyone i know.
i guess i still feel like i am on the "outside" looking in, in on the world of the people i was so alienated from for so long.. i celebrate birthdays, all the holidays, i stand for the national anthemn, but still it does not quiet feel second nature to me .
as i stand watching my son play high school football, my mind is always wandering on the marvel of what i am seeing.
Always felt like an outsider, whether in or out, before or after. Think I always will. But to be honest, I think I also prefer it that way. For me the JWs was an excuse to ditch stuff like Christmas and feel part of club-exclusive and I still do not celebrate Christmas - no point forcing the issue when it doesn't 'sit right'.
None of the above is to say that I despise life or those who are close to me, but I simply do not fit in. I've tried for years.
Plus, I do not like the bigger part of the society I live within. Again I've tried adjusting me vision, yet to no avail.
So what do you do?
Live with it I guess
"for jews, the belief that god can be human is the ultimate heresy.
rabbi shmuley boteach, on christianity
judaism has its roots in ancient babylon the "holy" book of judaism is called the "babylonian talmud bavli" it is the supreme book in judaism and is based on the writings of the quabbalist rabbis and pharisees.
But I'm not a JW now and I still can't see the Bible character of Jesus as almighty God. I see Jesus as an intimate expression by God towards mankind, but clearly in my mind not as 'almighty' God as I read through the scriptures.
You have an interesting theory there, but one that will never be accepted or proven IMO.
in my mom's last letter she made a statement that in 1914 satan was sent to earth.
does anyone know what she's talking about?
i thought everyone pretty much agreed that the snake in the garden was satan, that satan was on earth in jesus day and still is and has always been.
I felt that understanding the "flow" of history was vastly more important than the specific whens
Gotta agree there.
One point though, to the WTBTS specific dates are important, crucially so. 1914 has to be correct, otherwise the stack of dominos falls.
I tend to agree with you as well about technology creating 'demons' of war for us to grapple with and the induced fear as a result of that wave.
Plus, nobody can deny the impact of the aids virus.
do you think dubs in usa find out quicker or know more about the organization, than europe?.
you do seem to talk about things and people ive never heard of.
up until 6 months ago i was (happily!!!
I think the basic message is the same the world over (obviously).
There may be a difference in terms of information retrieval and distribution due to technology, but that is difficult to quantify.
People are people are people are people.
Hi by the way
