5) MOST DISTURBING: that Jehovah ( and his cloak of protection) could be summoned simply by calling out his name. Was this some kind of SUPER HEROE joke?

What do you think some posters look like?
by Bubbamar inits funny that when i imagine what other posters look like - i alway imagine them as attractive, fit, well groomed, with bright, shiny happy faces.
i never see them as obese, nerdy, or with greasy hair and warts and pimples.
their noses are never too big - no body has a "comb-over.

OLD FOLKS-ASSISTED LIVING HOME OR CRUISE SHIP
by outoftheorg inwhat are us old folks to do?
use up our money living in an "assisted living" old folks home or spend the money on a cruise ship??.

Stay at a Holiday Inn. You'll save $1,000 a month over the ship. And when you have an 'accident', a call to room service will still result in a miad at your door with clean sheets.

Did she tell you that "you can move out"? Or did she simply tell you "Get out!" One is a parent calling a child on what she might be seeing as a bluff or posturing. The other is an unreasonable demand that you (a minor child) leave her home. Big difference ..
In your shoes, I would bite my tongue for the next 6 months, unless there's a lot more to the story than I'm reading here. Finish high school, and wait for your 18th birthday. As was said above, adult responsibilities come quickly enough.

I'm thinking his real name had to be Bobby Joe or Billy Ray or something like that. He was a blue collar worker ... a carpenter ... who spent lots of time hanging out & drinking with his fishing buddies.

Do you and your significant other share religious beliefs?
by MelbaToast insometimes, i think my husband is much more church oriented than i am.
i still get upset when i attend church, but lately he has been putting the push on me for us to go back to his church where he grew up in.
he would like to start taking our daughter so she has a somewhat structured religious belief.

I grew up Dub. Mrs. O grew up Catholic. So ... do we share beliefs? Yep. Probably 80-90% or so, even though I haven't been a part of Dubdom or any other church for more than 20 years now. We certainly have our differences ... and we wrestle with those ... but I think it's moe productive for a couple to seek out some common ground than to argue about the differences.

What makes people really excel?
by formerout ini was just watching nightline (i think it was) with diane sawyer.
the stars from ocean's twelve were on there.
i am not a person who normally gives too much praise to celebs or athletes but these guys/gals (brad pitt, catherine zeta-jones, andy garcia, george clooney, matt damon and don cheadle) were pretty brilliant.

How did you feel when you learned it was all a lie?
by what_Truth? inbit of background.
i grew up as a jw i left the church when i was 14 because a ministerial servant who was conducting a one on one baptism study with me said that i couldn't ballance my dreams of being a professional singer with the so called "truth".
i stopped the study and told my mom i no longer wanted to be a witness.

I guess that's the thing: ALL a lie? Nope. I don't think so. Do I think the Dubs are full of shit in comparison to other faiths? Sure. Do I think they're full of shit when asked to stand on their own? Sure. But I don't think that everything I was taught while growing up is a lie. I think I learned a lot of good life lessons along the way, some of which are in sync with Dubdom.
