Satanism is soooo... 1992. Its just I don't know.. passe. Its not even shocking anymore. If you don't even really believe in God than its tough to really believe in Satan, don't you think?

i faded away from the jw cult last year (loaded language but i have my resons now).
i got my family out which was great.
from then on it's been a typical story of leaving a cult, though.

i just got my hands on a copy of my book of bible stories ... (1978).
at first i was excited when a friend pulled it out of his bag, said he'd gotten it as a kid.
then i started flipping through, looking at the pictures, feeling the memories spin in my brain.
If I could ever stand for anything on this board (other than hitting on the hot married and/or taken woman ) it would be to guard your children especially from ANY Watchtower material whatsoever. The residual effects stick around long after a person has left the religion. Its tough stuff to get over and its a terribly sad thing to do to youngsters, even if it seems harmless.
does anyone know where is is documented that thiele made the following quotes?
as bible scholar e. r. thiele said about a watchtower article on chronology, "it reminds me of the way an unscrupulous lawyer would deal with facts in order to support a case he knows not to be sound.

If AlanF didn't seem like such an upstanding guy I would swear the two of you were both in cahoots together to show how stupid the 607 date is via staged internet debates.
rwagner's post go me thinking.
are any of your ancestors famous?
the only famous one i can think of is sir robert peel, i'm not too sure what he did.
I'm a cousin of Shannon Tweed, that chick that ended up marrying that guy from KISS.
The Governing Body screwed over a bunch of people in an attempt to expand their influence. Men and children beaten, woman beaten and raped. All in a day's work for God's spirit directed organization.

i loooove this simple 607 bce explanation by alleymom.
(thank you if you are reading.
I remember reading that Awake! article and thinking that something sounded really fishy with this guy. I feel so stupid for being a part of such a crock of shit now. You can't go to school because of the empty reasonings of Satan's system but, hey, heres a SCIENTIST who thinks our chronology is bang on!! Now arent you glad you don't have to think for yourselves? What a joke.
That just blows me away that witnesses can push and rationalize everything out like that! They just want to live that life of no alarms, no surprizes. They just want to keep their dreams.
every year since 1991 i have been making my own "mix-tape" (since 1998, my own "mix-tape" cd) of my favorite songs of the year.
i have just completed my cd for 2004. one of the real pleasures of doing this is finding the right track order to make the styles of the songs flow smoothly from one to another, while keeping some semblance of the chronological progression of the year.
i thought it might be interesting to post my list and see if anyone else has their own similar list for the past year:.
My favorite song of 2004 was "You'll Never Get to Me" by Killing Joke.
Watch out for the new NIN next month!! It's gonna kick so much ass.
ok, be realistic, would you want to live forever?
what is your view of living forever?
golf
Definetly want to live forever. Just think of all the girls you could meet. There would always be something interesting to find to do. Even if you are just sitting around smoking dope its better than being dead.
so ive been a witness my whole life and i hate it.
i believe its effed up my life.
no sports, no extracurricular activities, small amount of friends, and im like totally innocent compared to my friends i have now.
Good work my man.. keep me posted I live for this stuff
