  I confess I had a rather silly and absurd idea of my own.
  
  I wondered if god meant to colonize the universe with man at some point and he used earth as a trial and/or proving ground until man was perfect and then he would let him colonize.

  Some of the things I can think of are:
  
  1. Drivers on the phone - because this is a safety issue.
  
  2. Road rage and rude driving - uncalled for in most instances. The only exception is if there is a REAL emergency.
  
  3. People on cell phones on public transportation. Sorry, but I do not want to hear your conversation. You are rude and inconsiderate.
  
  4. Telemarketers - although this has dropped off very much I still get one or two. I feel that because I pay my own phone bill (not them), I have a right to expect that when that phone rings the voice on the other end is somebody I know.
  
  5. Sitting in a public place and eating lunch and being approached by a person selling something, a dub or a homeless person. I hate intrusions of privacy.
  
  6. People who litter.
  
  7. People who are rude and push.

  Sorry, but none of the pictures you show me can dissuade me from my belief in the death penalty for a person who has no regard for other people's lives. Never mind the blah, blah, blah about an enlightened society, barbarism, and how it will not deter all, etc. What you are saying is that the murderer's life is more important than the persons he has killed.
  
  I couldn't care less if you said I wanted retribution.

  Talked to an older Dub I knew as a child last week at BJ's >>>>>>

  i thought i'd share my experience.

  for those of you not familiar with some stores here in the usa, bj's is a wholesale chain very similar to walmart's sam's club.

  it's a discount warehouse.

  So very sad about that brother. Here a minister from "babylon the great" is showing more christianity than the so-called brothers. Doesn't surprise me though because long ago I knew their friendships were as shallow as saran wrap and conditional to boot.
  
  But they will not see themselves as having done any wrong or committed any sin of omission. Why? Because their preaching work is the great "white wash" for any deficiency they have.

  has it ever occurred to any body out there why jehovah's witnesses are so disliked/picked on etc?

  do you ever wonder why we are the only religion that gets a bad rap?

  doesn't that tell you non jw's out there anything?

  I think Chicky was trying to say "voila" instead of vuala.
  
  Also angels instead of angles. Although with dubs it is an angle.

  Elder says: Young People don't want to flip burgers to pioneer

  by truthseeker in

  2. friends

  i approached an elder last week, and asked him if the society was against higher education because of the comments brought out in the drama.

  he said the society disapproves of higher education.. .

  he privately told me he disagrees with the view the society has on education - he said it should be a personal choice.. .

  You should not put one single penny in a contribution box if you are an active dub. Contributing only enables these people to spout harmful nonsense like this. They should be punished for their wrong views.
  
  As for the idea that college might promote immorality; does being marginally literate, destitute and unemployable promote morality?
  
  How so?

  Yes, I am definitely for it in many instances. There are too many evil people who need dying. I am sick of how life has become cheapened in this country.
  
  But it should never be against a person who is of diminished capacity.

  Society's position on illegal aliens

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the things that has always irked me is the society's position on illegal aliens.. paraphrasing a us boe letter (can't remember the date, not a recent one though), elders were instructed that they are not "policemen", not responsible for enforcing "caesar's laws".

  so, if there are any illegal aliens in the congregation, elders do not report them to any authority.

  no (congregational) disciplanary action at all is taken against them.. however, illegal aliens are not "exemplary", in that they are knowingly breaking caesar's laws.

  I was aware of this a long time ago. I visited Spanish speaking halls with friends a couple of times and I got the sense that a good number of them were not quite legal. Some friends wanted to learn Spanish so they could work in those territories. Not for me.
  
  I saw the handwriting on the wall and I had NO intention of working with, giving to or helping illegals in any way.

  a few days ago i had the privilege of being invited to a regular pioneer's birthday party.

  i met her a couple of weeks ago, and even though she knows i am inactive and have serious doubts, we hit it off on a social level.

  so that's why i was invited... .

  I could never understand what the big freakin deal was about birthdays anyway. Besides, I am convinced that Job's children were celebrating their birthdays.

  Dubs differ just for the sake of being different.

  Reasons to make you leave a spouse/partner

  by greendawn in

  what would it take for you to break up a relationship with someone you really love?

  would it be physical abuse, refusing to go out and work, abuse of child, or whatever else?

  Any one of those three reasons would be enough to make me leave someone. But I cannot speak for anybody else.

  Some women will put up with anything to have a man. Some have even turned a blind eye to their own child being abused. Sad.
