what is sin?
sin is a term used mainly in a religious context to describe an act that violates a moral rule, or the state of having committed such a violation.
sin is often used to mean an action that is prohibited or considered wrong; in some religions (notably some sects of christianity), sin can refer to a state of mind rather than a specific action.
SIN is a key on a scientific calculator, right next to COS.

Not often. I preferred to be late.

hello again, i haven't posted lately as i have been trying to get myself together....baby steps...i'm in therapy now, finally with a good therapist !!!
what a difference !
it's hard but worth it.
alone,
I am glad that you are back, and that you are taking positive steps in your recovery. In my experience, the anger comes and goes, and over time the intensity lessens. It is a lot like a roller coaster, the highs and lows are biggest in the beginning.
About changing your screen name, I have no clue. You might try PMing a mod for help.

one of the things that woke me up to the hypocrisy was when the tsunami struck in 2004. the elders used a box for a tsunami fund, we raised around 750, the elders put a vote out to use some of the congregations funds and we increased this to nearly 3 times this amount.. the congregation got a letter thanking us for the donation but requesting that for future donations we do not stipulate where the money should be channeled too (i assume the elders requested this go to those affected by the tsunami) as "they have already set aside money for this disaster relief and this makes things very difficult for them and all future relief money should goto the wwf".. at the end of the day they would not have got this money if their was no disaster-but that stank to me, i realized i was part of a greedy corporate empire that wanted money and didn't give a toss about the people affected by this tsunami.
The main reason is that there might have only been a handfull of JW's in the affected area, and they sure didn't want to help the "worldly" people in distress. So much for it being a charitible organization!

i was rooting for eight belles, the only filly in the field.
the gutsy gal came in 2nd, but broke both front legs.
she was euthanized immediately.
By BETH HARRIS – 11 minutes ago
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Filly Eight Belles finished second behind favorite Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, then collapsed with two broken front ankles and was euthanized after crossing the wire.
The field of 20 horses was galloping out around the first turn at Churchill Downs when Eight Belles suddenly went down on both front legs and jockey Gabriel Saez slid off.
An equine ambulance reached her on the track and put Eight Belles down.
"There was no possible way to save her," on-call veterinarian Dr. Larry Bramlage said. "She broke both front ankles. That's a bad injury."

Yeah Flip,
She collapsed after the race in the backstretch, and they put her down while still on the track. One thing for sure, it wasn't her heart that let her down. She finished second on two broken legs. It just makes me cry thinking about it. RIP Eight Belles.
