In Memory of Puternut

by Nosferatu in

after reading the news about puternut, i decided to compile some of his posts into one, so we can all share in his memory.

there are many ups and downs listed below, but i ended it off with a post he made to all of us who helped him during his difficult times.

puternut is starting his life over, because i had nothing left, and needed to move on.

Cannabis Free~

yesterday i bought a pack of smokes called cannabis free.

i thought that maybe if it was good, as in something unique i could save a pack for crumples when she gets here.

so i lit one up in the car and proceeded to smoke it.

Here where I live the cops would not even care. It is legal here for medicinal purposes.

while watching the network's coverage on the election, i kept noticing how the announcers kept talking about what impact the rush limbaugh show might have on the republican vote... they felt his show might sway the votes away from mccain... .

now, all you conservatives out there, isn't it one of the biggest embarassments you can ever have, to know that rush limbaugh can have an effect on how your party votes?

if i knew that people thinking like rush limbaugh were voting for my candidate, that would automatically make me vote the other way.. i mean honestly, how can you not be embarrased that your party holds a man such as rush limbaugh in high esteem?

Rush always eventually eats his own crap ! He complains about Dems. whining while he whines himself. Thats what gets me about Repubs .and not all Repubs. but most seem think they can judge one but never say anything about me or my party type attitude. And I am sick of it, sick of this Bush policies and a man who thinks he above the laws of this country.

I will say this Rush said today that he would rather Clinton get the office than McCain. Thats is enough said !

Lies on Line...I always thought JWD was a forum for Honesty

by restrangled in

after finding this forum and being raised in the jw religion, i found jwd a refreshing place for honest feelings, fears, life experiences etc.. the history of the jw's was exposed, and those who lived any experience under this regime has been told by many members.. to be lied to by any forum member is insulting.

i have over my past year and 1/2 come to love many posters.

i realize many more have much longer time put in here.. i have been honest and exposed more of my self than i care to think about, but always kept in mind that others were doing the same and it was best for anyone new.. to lie on this forum to all of these members is horrible and i am questioning why i am so honest here.

..Me,seven006 and a few others were trying to figure out a poster named Danni..

Wow I remember this one !

What Bible do you use?

by OMG! Now What? in

in my new search for truth, i'm back to my old routine of getting my 7+ different bibles out and comparing them all.

which one have you chosen, if at all, and why?

oldflame

Sorry but that was about 8 years ago don't have that email anymore I should of copied it but then I have changed computers twice since then. But I'll just be willing to bet if I wrote them again they would give me the same answer.

OK I am going to share something with everyone, and after telling you all this if you still believe that the societies NWT is still correct ? Well then I guess *%&$^#$&^*( LOL

On a serious note back during my exit my mother had been telling me about how accurate the NWT was and I asked her "How do you know it is accurate" ? she told me that their bible was an approved bible so I asked her again "Who approved your bible" ? She started telling me how there is a group that approves all translations of the scriptures.

So I started looking in the Internet about these group or groups and I could not find any thing or anyone who approved scripture translations. So I having a NIV and a King James looked at the preface of the scriptures and found the Scofield Society which comes out of a college somewhere in the North East, I do not remember where exactly.

Anyway I looked up Scofield Society on the net and found a home page there. There was a link on their home page that you can write them. So I did. First I told them that I was researching different bibles and was looking for a group or person/ persons that approved translations of different bibles. I never told them what bibles I was researching but that I had heard that some translations were not correct and wanted to know which ones were incorrect.

Now remember I never said any bible translation names. They wrote me back and said that there were no groups or person/persons that approved bible translations but that a couple of religions had made there own translations and approved them themselves and one of those I should be very careful of ? OK are you ready ? The NWT. They said that this bible translation was the farthest away from all other scripture translations out there.

That right there was the very moment I had decided that I was no longer going to associate any more with any JW religion or any other cult religion, I was done ! When they sent me the answer I had been looking for without even asking them that particular question I was floored none the less.

Dead body found behind Assembly Hall

Wow! Where is the respect for the loss of a human life?

Wow ! Are you sitting in front of your computer crying over some guy that drowned in a canal that you don't know ? C'mon we are all going to die, sorry about that but that is the way it is. We are born and we die. I personally do not think that the dying part is why people get sad but the thought of not being able to see that someone that you love. AHHH the secret words "someone you love" if this was the case I could see being sad but to poke little jabs at it I don't think hurts anyone either.

If we are to always have sad words for those who died so then I guess we should feel the same when a murder dies or a child molester ? I don't think so ! So tell me what the bid deal ? Bug violinist:9339
