  "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey

  by HappyDad in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i just finished reading this fascinating book about his drug addiction and alchoholism and have realized that my own alchohol abuse in the past was nothing compared to what he went through and came out of, in his own way.

  this is one book that i highly recommend whether you have, had, or never have had a problem with alchohol and drugs.

  has anyone read this book?

  What's the word?

  by bagpuss in

  if you could sum up your time in the borg with just one word, what would it be and why?.

  for me it would be guilt.

  guilt about not doing enough ministry, not enough study,doing too much secular work, the list seems endless.on the odd occasions i felt i'd done quite well you can bet we'd have a talk saying more,more more!.

  World Aids Day

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw

  the latest news about aids is very disturbing, this truly is a global epidemic.. rather than give drug users needles and sex workers condoms, people who actively encourage the spread of the disease should cease and desist from their destructive behavior.

  it is not the fault of children who aquire the disease through the mother.

  unfortuantely, children with aids are being abandoned, neglected and dumped in the street.. people who work in the sex industry are responsible for their own demise, and that of others if they do not stop their trade.

  I agree. You have to really be careful. I'm also involved in breast cancer awareness. But due to the sheer scope of the problem, AIDS is really a horrible global epidemic.

  I hope they keep dumping money into treatment and finding a cure because of the millions of children who'll continue to die from AIDS, and the countless innocent spouses whose unfaithful spouses infected them, and for those infected by a tainted blood supply.

  Even here in the US where treatment is available, I'm sure everyone knows someone who's died from AIDS. Some who weren't promiscuous or a drug addict. Some who made one bad mistake. And some who were bound to catch something sooner or later.

  If everyone on this board who's ever stupidly had unprotected sex or experimented with drugs "got what they deserve" (according to some), there would be very few of us left.

  I think it's everybody's problem because just about everybody will lose friends, acquaintences, family members to this disease. A bad decision shouldn't have to be a death sentence.

  Do you care if DefD stays a JW or not?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  2. friends

  defd/derrick is a current-jw posting on this board.

  he's been on for quite some time now, maybe not a year, but awhile.

  many have tried to show him the many ways the watchtower doesn't live up to its claim of being god's organization, but he seems unflappable.. so where do you stand on him now?

  Defd has had plenty of threads specifically about him. I rather think he enjoys them as long as they're sincere.

  We make a paper chain of different colored links, each saying "___ days until Christmas". And we let the kids take off one link each day. We also make chains when Daddy's out of town.
