Hey all,
Dont know if any of your noticed this, but being not a resident of the USA I did.
Of all the events listed, there are only 4 that do not directly involve the US. Whilst I am aware of many of the events, most of the people listed are simply unknown.
I am 39 and I was 7 when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon and I was standing behind the sofa in our home looking at the TV with my family.

i don't know about the rest of you but i was one of the stupid ones lugging bricks around and cleaning them up for the jw's shortly before i left.. how many others here have done the same???.
how many of us have at one time been construction workers for the borg???.
esther...you set my brain working on this one with your thread .
Ahhhhh Yup
One assembly hall and one KH, but to be honest, it was waaayyyy better than FS and I didn't really put my all into it, for the most part I just had fun.

i recently picked up the nasty habit of smoking.
i have been hiding it from my wife for about a month now,(she is still a witness) to make a long story short i only smoke when i drink and go to the casino.
in lake charles well she busted me and was actually nice about it and said it would be our secret as long as i did not bring them in the house are ever smoke around the kids.. sounds like she might be comming around maybe, i only hope.. anyway i had to tell someone.
Hey there BigJim and all you other smokers.
First of all I would like to say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. And I would like to encourage all of you to keep it up. No matter what anyone else says, feel free to continue that habit.
You are in fact doing me and other non smokers a wonderful and selfless favour.
You see, this world is becomming over populated and it is the selfless acts of those like you that commit yourselves to an early grave for the benefit of me and those like me that provide us with the hope for a long and wonderful future.
Once again, you have my sincerest thanks

Hello New Eyes and welcome.
I am one of those that everyone will eventually warn you about
In this world, there are many people who would impose there belief systems upon us and to be honest, many of us fell prey to many of these things for years. I was a JW for almost 30 years and during that time, I honestly felt that it was the truth.
Propaganda is easy to put out and have believed if you can control all or most input. Governments do this extremely effectively as do closed religious groups.
Just some thoughts
Dave

well in an attempt to question and learn more about the bible as was suggested to me by various people, i attended church with a friend.
afterwards i spoke with the preacher, and asked him about some of the things i had learned from the jw.
he quickly disregarded what i told him and pointed out a few scriptures, i showed him more that backed up what i had been taught.
Intro

You are welcome.
People are often "stupid" and superficial. This is a direct result of the complexity and un-knowable-ness of the deeper things in life. For most people, its all just too hard and they focus only on things that the feel the ability to understand and or control.
This is also why many people have serious control issues. Deeper the thinking that they do, the more that they realise just how much of the world is out of their control, and the stronger their desire to gain some semblence of control. Controling people are really just people with deep fears and who lack the ability to see their "unknowns" for what they are.

Hey Tattoogirl
Please dont take it personally, the problem is because of the concept of religion itself not a judgement of your mental abilities.
Religion attemps to explain the unexplainable. Whenever you examine religions closely, any religion, you will find holes starting to appear. This is because you are exposing the very foundation of all religion, exposing the fact that in the end, WE JUST DONT KNOW!!
With different religions, this probing wall occurs at different levels.
Some religions cater for the general and some to the specific.
Catholicism is a very general religion and its core "I dont know" level is quickly reached.
Jehovahs Witnesses and Scientology are "technical" religions with multitudes of in depth "explainations" that often overlap and cause confusion. But it takes a lot more probing before the "I dont know" level is reached with these ones.
This is also why religion is such a personal matter. Each of us require differnent levels of "explaination" and from a different point of view.
People are not quite so stupid, although its not an entirely innacurate description, they are just struggling to explain something that they have no way of understanding.
