the immorailty.... what is more likely:.
a) the immorality of the world is the result of evolution, since individuals with an high sex drive will have more offspring.... or.
b) the immorality of the world was introduced because adam&eve ate a forbidden fruit and obeyed an evil angel?.
More to the point why would or should there be an unbiased opinion on morality?
Everybodies biased. Everyones working an angle, playing a game. That's life.
I agree with jaguarbass you will have as many opinions on morality (or any subject) as people you ask. Take away a person's opinion or choice and we might as well be wearing burkas in a third world country or worse if you can imagine that.

Hey you guys leave me outa this! Good thing I only understand American English...........
Besides I'm totally jealous of nvr obviously a man with unlimited fund$ and time on his hands to $pend, here on JWD. He's a good poster too!
ok...so i got an email from my mother...one of several i have received from her since my fathers untimely demise, and she seems to be trying to talk to me in a "mother" way....anyhow...so i missed the memorial of his death that was surrounded by over 300 people at just the first of two memorials.
good grief!
anyhow...this email she sent me is of the program that was used that day...page one and two were just jw infested scrips and some blips that actualy half sounded like my father could have said them.... anyhow..the whole freakin reason for this is that i have spent a long many years writing poetry and a bunch of shtuff in general and for years i never knew where i had gotten my love of the pen from and page 3 of the memorial program explained it in the flash of an instant...unfortunately it filled me with a lot of pain as well...that man could write...this is an original work written by my dad....damn him for keeping this from me.... a moment of reflection is like a blossom in the twilight of spring, or like 'an early leaf's flower but only so an hour.
that is the sad part that just makes me mad...it is the ONLY one i have ever seen and the only one i was ever given...and it wasnt even really TO me...i just got it off of the program of his death...ridiculous...funny though...it just makes me go back into my own poetry that i have posted here on JWD....it just seems so odd....it almost could have been ME writing it...sigh..anyhow...
It's a good thing to know about your Dad and something you have a chance to change in your family legacy. I hope you have a son some day you can share this with, cool beans!
i have one and use it for both wet and dry.
it gets pricey since you have to keep buying the cloths.. a couple of weeks ago i was in sears and they were having a demonstration of a swiffer type mop but you didn't have to throw awy the cloths.
simply remove from the cloth and throw it in the washer.
So I got thinking
What if I bought the microfiber cloths and used that on my Swiffer handle.
You know what - it works.
No more cloths to throw out. And the microfiber clothes are easily bought at dollar stores
I now have a micro-swiffer
Been doing that for years!
Another think you can do is use a washcloth most are the right size and a nice nubby terry washcloth which can be used over and over again does a great job. I get mine wet ring it lightly and spray it with an all purpose cleaner and clean my floors, ceilings, walls or dog....well okay not the dog.
There is a person on e-Bay who sells homemade washable cloths for swiffers. I haven't bought any yet because I keep thinking I could make them myself for much less but can never find the time. It's a great idea though.
i think for me, it was the dysfunctional family.
things from my childhood are finally getting to me.
i've tried for so long to just push them to the back of my mind.
Weird but as I reflect back I have come to the conclusion my growing up in a dysfunctional family helped me from being a die hard JW and therefore it was easier for me to leave the B'org.
I didn't like being in either. I remember the first time I heard that self help guru of the 80's John Bradshaw speak and say something like; "as children in a dysfunctional family we didn't have the choice to tell our parents we would rather move down the street to the Jones house, they seem more normal." Wow that really connected with me I was always looking for normal, sigh. I've since learned NORMAL is a setting on a dryer.

Hey jgnat I'm going to gabbly, lets have some fun!
symptoms of intellectual starvation:.
1.purposelessness, time-wasting, apathy, cynical desuetude.. 2.aimless hobbies that run out the clock.
3.fluff reading.
Something similar is possible if you are born with the capacity for INTELLIGENCE which you squander on crossword puzzles, Romance novels, People magazine articles, Fanzines, needlepoint, trivia, sports spectatorship, etc.
Since we're all going to die Terry why die smart, over achieved, properly primed and cultured? I just do what I do when I feel like doing it and as long as I'm enjoying my life in the moment, keeping it simple works for me.
Awe es they are so beautiful I just want to reach in the 'puter and give 'em a hug! Will you hug them for me?
They look positively happy and healthy too, what a good Mom! You take care of yourself too hun with a bun in the oven and all.....don't over-do!
Gosh I'm such a nag, sigh.
Cool!
Numbers with a WTS influence.....boy wouldn't that be something!
