Introducing two loves of my life

by Darth Yhwh in

.

i got this idea from my wife.

she posted a similar topic on one of the forums she frequents.

Hello

by 38 Years in

i have been reading this board for about 4 years.

after 38 years of being a baptized jehovah's witness, i did some research on the internet and found enough evidence to quit.

that was 4 years ago and i am so much happier now.

Hate crime affects everyone...

a few weeks ago, i was coming home from having a beer with my bro.

when i started having a minor seizure and he had to hold me up.

5-7 guys in the parking lot started calling us faggots.

Oh Avi~ I am so sorry my friend. I cannot stand people on a regular basis. You and your brother are some of the nicest people about and hearing this just brought tears to my eyes. I am so thankful that it did not wind up as Matthew Shephards situation did. So very thankful. You know I lived up ther ein Wyoming for a long time and not far from when that happened. It was terrible. I cannot believe the mentality of people.

I do hope you and your brother are ok. I really do.

Once again...freaking idiots. Both the sons of bitches who did this to you...and the people that want to change the laws about. Did you by chance get any info on the guys who did this? Can you prosecute them?

my kids were very impressed and that takes a lot especially how critical they are of us wacko's from the ex-jw world!

I just wanted to share.

Steve NYC...Don't change. You really are a most true and awsome person from what I saw and I thought you should know!!

Atheists, Why the Anger?

by XJW4EVR in

ok, so you deny the existence of a god, or you lack belief in a god.

my question why do you get so angry over a mythical being?

no one gets as upset over the tooth fairy, santa claus or the easter bunny, as i have seen some of the atheists on this board get over the slightest mention of god.

Sparkplug

cuz god is so mean. I mean, sure he's the most beautiful thing that's never been seen and all, but I hate him, so he doesn't exist.

plus, dingos ate my baby.

letter to parents of molesting ex-husband---FEEDBACK PLEASE!!!

by J-ex-W in

trying to get topic page started (keep getting 'error page' instead)...hopefully letter will show in next post....

Sparkplug

It will take me a bit to digest. for it hits close to some things from youth. But it must feel good to rid yourself of the horrible feelings. And maybe. MAYBE they will listen. If not, you have tried and that may do wonders for those girls just knowing someone stood up for them even if it is a long time past. Much love, Decki

Really Cool Evolution Tidbit... ("Isn't Nature Awesome?" ;)...)

a few days ago we were studying the formation of "reaction wood" .

reaction wood is what trees develop after being tilted by a landslide, shifting ground, etc to make themselves grow upright once more.

after the traumatic event happens to the tree to tilt it over, the subsequent year's wood is denser and thicker as a result of parts of the cells of the trees growing as if on steroids.

Sparkplug

was he saying that the trees grew out of the fallen redwood along the line where the tree was laying? Very neat. I have indeed seen that in the woods- it is so wonderful to walk around in the forest and to be told a story about the forest's past by the unusual and unique forms of growth you see before you...

Exactly! The dent left by such a giant tree decomposed or imploded is a valley of sorts ...Huge. So same as your octopus spruce, animals and such leave seedlings, or they collect causing a row to grow up. Very neat indeed. Now I would like to see an octopus tree.

I think I spent most of my childhood up a tree with a book or two. I once played rollerskating Israelite pricesses from Zanadu in a tree. Skates and all. Spent a summer in the most beautiful Aspen tree in Santa fe. Then I was such a chicken sheet geek I could not even spell out my full name but I wrote initials in the top of mine and a boy I thought I would die if I did not marry. So many of us had memories of this tree...I even got a letter from a friend 20 some years later when it was cut down. so sad.
