I consider myself a humanist. Its not a religion I know.. I'm interested in the Unitarian Universalists presently. I also like a lot of Buddhist teachings. But, deep down, I know its all pudding.

The only ones I noticed them converting when I was still attending were nutbag's and total down-and-outs. As more and more people catch on to the bullshit, all that will be left in the strainer will be the elite of the brainwashed. Survival of the naive'st.

everyone has their own idiosyncrises, mine is- .
when i get a new book, i'll open it up to the middle of the book and stick my nose in the binding for about ten seconds, and smell how the glue, ink, and fresh paper smell.
ahhhh i love that smell.

OMG, that is sooo me! I smell EVERYTHING! I'm sure I was a bloodhound in a past life.

were you associated with regularly?
did you have many friends?
were you the life of the party?
I had a lot of drinking buddies. I had a tendency to make fun of stupid Watchtower teachings and that turned off a lot of people. The ones that werent turned off thought I was joking or trying to be risque.. but I wasn't laughing. I am now!

the one constant in life.
there is only one significant constant in life and that constant is simply: we all die.
no matter how successful we become, we will die.
Farkel, what a great write up! Amazing to consider how little the Bible eludes in any way whatsoever to this 'Paradise Earth' concept. The few times I did read those ambiguous scriptures it did more to make me doubt Watchtower teachings then promote faith in them. Keep fighting the fine fight of the f**king faith!

They aren't supposed to treat it as different than any other night. It's a pagan celebration and it's fun. Two very evil things in Dubdum. Unless of course you are, ya know, talking about the day's of the week, pinata's or aniversaries. Thats different.

while cleaning cupboards today, i had court tv on in the other room, listening to the commentary about the mj trial.. i was pretty surprised when they started talking about his going back to jehovah's witnesses and that he had taken his children to a kingdom hall in solvang (near where he lives) around easter time.
so it was for the memorial.
they said that since then, he has been attending pretty regularly with his kids, but that because he is disfellowshipped (and they had this information correct, saying he wrote a letter disassociating himself many years ago, but that he is technically disfellowshipped) no one will talk to him.. so, is he trying to make a comeback?
:He is a traditional Christian. He's a Jehovah`s Witness.
A child molesting, 'Jesus juice' drinking, face transplant donning, child hanging out a bedroom window dangling, horror show video acting Jehovah's Witness.

one of my ex-best friends am i over reacting and just being "touchy" and should not send the reply in anger?
it is really worse than death.
he happened to stumble on 3 john vs. 13 & 14 (the same scripture you had wrote on your care package to me for costa rica).
I got lots of condecending replies like that when I sent out my goodbye emails. Any factual replies you give to this sort of person will be taken as
1.) You are nuts and/or
2.) You are possessed by a demon.
They just don't get it. In the end all I ended up saying to them was, "Take care of yourself".
