I was watching the history channel this weekend and they had a show on the global flood story. It was pretty interesting, mostly the same old stuff and some commentators from different religions. While I was watching this, two thoughts kept coming to mind:

God failed in his mission to rid the world of evil. The bible says that god brought about the flood to destroy all the wicked people. But just a few chapters later and evil is back in the earth. So God failed to wipe out evil from the earth.

This leads to my second thought. Wiping out all the evil people on the earth without destroying the source of the evil doesn't make much sense. It would be like us finding a cure for aids. Then killing everyone that has aids except for one person and then letting that person infect other people. All the while never using the cure.

Just a couple of things to ponder.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!!!

Hey there, welcome to the board.

I was raised a witness too but left when I was 28. I've never been DF or DA but I no longer have anything to do with the witnesses.

I guess my biggest beef with the WTBS is the "conditional" love they show. Yes I said conditional not unconditional. You will get to see this in action very soon. Since your sister is Disasociating herself her once close and life-long freind will treat her like she's dead. No one will speak to her or even acknowledge her. All because she changed her mind on what she believes. You said it's starting to cause allot of pain in you family now. In my opinion, no religion should tell you what family member you can associate with. The family bond should be the strongest thing in your life. Any religion that comes between that is just evil. Jesus never shunned anyone and neither should his followers.

Other things include the hypocrisy on many different matters. One being the UN scandal. Why is it OK for the WTBS to join the UN as a Non-Govermental Organization so they can use the library (their excuse) but I can't join the YMCA to use the pool. And why did the brother in Malawi have to die because the WTBS wouldn't let them have a political card but the brother in Mexico were allowed to bribe officials to obtain card the showed they served in the military?

There are many other things that I don't like about the Wathtower Society but I won't go into them now. I just hope you stick around and learn as much as possible if only for your sister's sake. Maybe you will get some insight on what she is going through.

today, on my way home from school, i saw my previously stolen bike in front of a corner store.

i first (big mistake) confronted the guy who stole my bike.

the guy failed to comply.

Hecklerboy

Just curious, what kind of bike was it?

I big into bikes.

If the shifter cables are messed up you might want to check the entire drivetrain. You might need a new cassette and chainrings plus a new chain.

Snowshoe Mountain Resort is hosting Kona Demo Days. So a friend and I are heading up to test ride a couple Kona mountain bikes. He's in the market for a new bike and looking at a Kona Coiler Deluxe. Wants me to come along and compare it to my Santa Cruz Heckler. Then where going to hit some trails on the way home. Should be a fun Sunday. Much better than sitting in a KH listening to the same old boring lies.

ok this is where i tell whats going on in my exciting life and all of you give me advice.

1)is a seashell necklace wrapped around a cowboy hat cool or what?

2)what stuff should i bring to the dorm?

Hecklerboy

On a serious note. Don't forget to get a menongitus shot. Menongitus is really bad in college dorm rooms. This is a very bad thing and you don't want to catch it.

I envy you dude. I was never allowed to go to college. You have so much to look forward to.

Found It!

by ESTEE in

i filed away the letter that i received from an elder when my mom was disfellowshipped years ago.

it turned up the other day, reminding me again of the high control, fear based beliefs the dubs have.

i resisted shunning my mom -- and sadly this letter is the reason i finally began shunning her.

I like the line that says "if they are repentant then they can be help to have Jehovah's favor."

Like they can say who get God's favor or not. How arrogant!!
