  for me it was when i was living in mexico and i got a job as a waiter out of sheer boardom.

  the pay was lousy, the work was hard, the boss was an asshole, and at the end of the week i was told that i was not good enough to be a waiter and i was fired.

  thank god!.

  this whole jw thing is doing my head in.

  this universal issue, this good and bad stuff, right and wrong.. i don't think i'll ever make my mind up which way to jump, i keep trying to rationalise in my mind where i am and where i'm going.

  its like being stuck constantly in a rut.

  I need a beer.

  Start swimming the big pond, Chief. I just bought a whole case of frosty cold barley pop.

  There are some beliefs which I will probably carry for the rest of my life. These mostly center on core values & behaviors that shaped my character when I was young.

  There are other beliefs of the witnesses which I quickly discarded, probably because I had never fully accepted them in the first place. And those were the beliefs which caused the big problems for me at the KH in the first place, because the simple act of doubting or questioning them was 'unacceptable' to the WTS.

  Then there's some other stuff in between ... things which I thought I'd hang on to as I was leaving, but have since discarded in favor of concepts that make a whole lot more sense to me. And I'm sure that my philosophies about the nature of God and His expectations for humans will continue to evolve over the coming years.

  It's kinda scary stepping out of the holding pen when that's all you've known. It will take time for you to adjust to your surroundings, and then you can decide which side of the fence is the right one for you.

  Did You Live A "Double Life"?

  by minimus in

  most of the so-called "good examples" that i knew of lived a "double life".

  were you one of those that acted pious at the hall but elsewhere, behaved as someone not a witness?

  I can't recall having heard the term "double life" until I was chatting here a few days ago. I had to ask what the person meant.

  And by their definition, I suppose I lived a double life for a while. I was still attending meetings & going door to door, but I was smoking grass & chasing girls & drinking while underage & doing a few other things which were on the verbotten list.

  I don't think I was pious or judgemental in my treatment of others. And I certainly didn't shun family or friends just because they were no longer attending meetings. I just didn't broadcast my recreational pursuits to the whole congregation.

  Why Hasnt America Been Attacked Again??

  by ApagaLaLuz in

  1. social

  what is your opinion of this?

  the us recently released a report stating that airport screeners are not doing their jobs correctly, and outlined which airports were the weakest.. .

  do think the reason we have not had any new terrorist attacks since 2001 is because the government has beefed up homeland security?

  I think the whole Homeland Security Act was a bulls***, smokescreen, feel-good measure that has served to do little more than inconvenience the average American. I think Ashcroft should have his scrotum stapled to a tree and that he should be flogged with bloated, dead aardvarks until he capitulates.

  And I think the reason that the U.S. hasn't been hit with another success, public attack is that we've been lucky. It's not like the new security measures or the crackerjack government employees are worth the hassle & the expense.

  But ... that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.

  For whatever reason, I wanna say #8 is The Replacements. But then again, it could be Remember the Titans. But I'll go with the greatest football movie of all time: The Longest Yard
