  is there anyone out there that is real good with history that could give me a timeline for the past say 3000?

  years that would list all the horrific things that were happening around a certain time period?

  im trying to show my wife that things are not that bad right now as the wts would like her to think.

  Gringo,

  You don't need the whole history, just a few highlights from here and there.

  The story of William Wallace, the real Braveheart. A real guy from Scotland. He wanted Scotland to have independance from England. A right bloody story.

  If you want mans inhumanity to man check out the way the killed the poor guy. It was common practice to kill people for maximum pain and agony back in the good old days before Satan was cast down.

  Back when we were still a colony here in the US a popular way to off a wrong doer was to have them straddle a saw horse with a blade on it and then put weights on them until they were cut in two.

  it wasn't the big stuff that made me decide i could never go back, it was one little thing.

  i have been thinking about my journey out of "the truth", and i think i can pin-point the last straw.. .

  i had been out for years, but always thinking that if i got my head together someday i would be good enough to go back.

  "They have NEVER lied"

  in this post over at carm, http://tinyurl.com/84ntg a jw from australia who goes by the handle "corvus" made a rather audacious claim:[the society] have never lied to, mislead or decieved anyone - they have made mistakes.. .

  in response, i listed four lies that the society has made, three of which are easily investigated and proven to be lies.

  1) the cover story that beth-sarim was built to house resurrected old testament saints who were coming back in 1925, when in fact, the house was built to get rutherford away from bethel.

  Good thoughts

  15 things you probably never knew or thought about 1. at least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.. 2. at least 15 people in this world love you in some way.. 3. the only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.. 4. a smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.. 5. every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.. 6. you mean the world to someone.. 7. if not for you, someone may not be living.. 8. you are special and unique.. 9. someone that you don't even know exists loves you.. 10. when you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.. 11. when you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.. 12. when you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.. 13. always remember the compliments you received.

  forget about the rude remarks.. 14. always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.. 15. if you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

  There was an incident that got me going on the road, it wasn't the final straw but it was that very important first straw.

  After the meeting to formally disfellowship my formerly elder husband. I went up to the overseer and said, "Well I guess we can't go to Poland. Our family had been "chosen" to go on some trip to Poland to represent the U.S witnesses/visit those less fiscally fortunate. It was 1989. Anywho I had been through the most awful events possible during the previous weeks and my poor shattered brain focused on the trip.

  The overseer said I can't really give you the answer, it wouldn't be proper. He walked over to my newly disfellowshipped husband and told him, with me standing right there that we couldn't go to Poland.

  these last 2 months have been the worst of my life.

  i can only answer my subject question by saying the purpose of life is the 4 things sought after in the wizard of oz: love, courage, intelligence, and home.. and we all possess them whether we know it or not.

  and especially love.

  Sounds like its time to take care of business. I have always thought that you can't fix a problem that you don't even admit you have, so you have made a step towards recovery. I will be rooting for you
