  Going out with a bang

  by LittleToe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

  I'm still trying to work through some of the guilt issues over failing to succeed at marriage. Hopefully what they say about time healing will prove true...

  How true this is for so many of us.

  I remember it was about 1988. I lived in Hacketstown, NJ. My wife was back in Texas with my 3 year old daughter and I was on the floor crying like a two year old. I asked God over and over, "Why? I always tried so hard to do what you say, and you said we would be happy and have a good life under your wing!" After 45 minutes I was finally able to put the gun down compose and myself. You can only cry for so long; then you become numb.

  Why I think Bush is scary

  by Simon in

  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4767542/ in woodward's portrait, president bush is single-minded, and possibly simple-minded, in his resolve.

  he seems to have relied more on divine guidance than the considered opinions of his top advisers.

  bush told woodward that as he approached the final decision to go to war, "i was praying for strength to do the lord's will ... i'm surely not going to justify war based on god.

  Simon:

  How different is he from some leader on the other side who claims to be doing the "will of allah" or whoever?

  Simon, you have got to be kidding me! You compare a Muslem Zealot leader who encourages his followers to kill women and children including themselves FOR ALLA, to an American President who says he has FAITH IN GOD and wants to free oppressed people? Yes, cilivians are dying in Iraq by our weapons, but do you think it could be because this is where these terrorist hide and fight from; the homes and rooftops of the villages? Could it be because they are transporting weapons in ambulances? Can you honestly say you don't see the restraint the coalition is using in order to save civilian lives?

  Bikerchick:

  I lost a brother in Viet Nam, this current war is beginning to look like another Viet Nam.

  Bikerchick, I'm sorry for your loss, but over 58,000 Americans lost their lives in Vietnam. About 500 soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq (yes it is 500 too many), but this is no vietnam.

  Also, no, I am not a Republican.

  Hey Junction Guy,

  It's Bryan. Yeah, I'd do that. My exdub wife used get mad at me when we'd talk about getting a lot of money. She said I had it given all away.

  Hope you make it down for the texapostafest!

• 2 Kings 8:12 dash their children, and rip up their women with child.

Main Entry: 1 dash
Pronunciation: 'dash
Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English dasshen
transitive senses
1 : to break by striking or knocking
2 : to knock, hurl, or thrust violently

I think that says something about heads against the wall.
