  Just another meeting - the lack of "occasion" and "grief" at JW funeral

  i recently attended the witness funeral of a sister who lost her mother.

  she lived to a good age.. most of the congregation were there.. if the truth be told, it was one of the most disrespectful funerals i have ever been too.

  no one did anything wrong, but everyone was happy - a little too happy.. it was just another meeting to the dubs who attended.

  I'm so sorry about this. I had to go to a memorial service not long before I left and it was during this service that I too noticed the same thing.

  Lol, yep I've been giggling at the various scenes. I thought it was quite cute in the beginning when they show Princess Leia just tossing the disc in R2s head.

  It's interesting to hear other parents talk about playing this with their kids. My younger one is watching me play and I have been deliberating whether or not to let her try it. It's cool because it involves some simple strategy. But I was a little worried about the violence. I realize that they're just being blasted into lego parts...but ya know, I worry still a little. Anyhow, my husband seemed to think she would like playing it. And hey it's Star Wars. Bridging the gap between generations

  SATAN WORSHIP?

  i've been several months out now (da'd in feb 07).

  i took to wearing a pentagram , since i really do believe in these five main elements to life.. however, as you will know the pentagram is also reffered to as 'star of satan and various other things.. my point is: as far as the witlesses are concerned, i worship the devil since i dont worship jehoobah.. but!.

  i would rather be a worshiper of satan, who everyone knows can be a bit of scumbag at times, but at least i know where i stand with him, than worship a god who proffesses to be the only true god, yet devastates his followers when they realise the true extent of the lies of his apparent earthly organization.. so i wear my pentagram with pride!.

  Used to frequent this site, and I learned a lot there as well as found some wonderful friends. Thought perhaps you might find some useful articles as well as support for being an XChristian.

  The barosaurs and other long necked, veggie eaters were likely slides for the cave children. The T rex and other meat eaters were there probably to eat all the dead things. The triceratops were there to play rings with.....

  Shell, a wiccan, for the most part uses an upright pentagram. An inverted pentagram is often employed by Satanists (which that in itself is an interesting religion) . I think White Dove expressed that well.

  As for this part:

  The point is; I think this is me desperatly trying to express myself following my exit from the borg. It is not my intention to offend anyone on this board, but I have ex-associates who have the oppinin that I have sided with the devil.

  Of course. You left the only true religion and have thus sided with the Devil. Whether your pentagram is upright or inverted, or you are wearing a cross upright or inverted, matters little to them.

  As for offending anyone on the board...or anyone for that matter...hahahaha, sorry, but this board is made up of so many personalities, it's impossible to make everyone happy. Just be.

  If you are wishing to express an interest in paganism without conveying the wrong message to people on the board, you may wish to consider changing your pentagram to an upright one. Thats just my opinion, take it or leave it.

  But if you like it and feel it best conveys what you want it to, try not to worry about others.

  Hey shell...

  From the some of the research I've done into the pentagram, I found that an upside down pentagram was nearly equivilent to an upside down cross.

  Here are a few links:

  So, perhaps the inverted pentagram on your avatar is confusing people? Dunno just a thought...
