  my dog and i were watching "church of the rock" this morning on t.v.

  my dog goes in for that sort of stuff, so i humor him.

  he's only 10 weeks old, so i don't really chap his ass too much about it, yet.. anyways, the preacher was talking about how christianity is like the "adventure" of a life time.

  humanitarian volunteer or "peacekeeper"

  by tetrapod.sapien in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have always kind of dreamt about being a peacekeeper, or some sort of humanitarian aid worker overseas.

  of course, as a jw, this was a no no.

  instead, we were supposed to help spread fear, ignorance and guilt to the rest of humanity.

  had a look at my wifes program from the dc on the weekend.

  the only part that interested me was from friday morning called "we are wonderfully made", or something like that.

  if anyone can get me a transcript or an outline, i would really like to dissect it for fun.

  dropped wife off at convention this morn...

  by tetrapod.sapien in

  2. experiences

  i just got back home from dropping my wife off at the convention this morning.

  i took the day off of work so i could celebrate the occasion of freedom from mass-delusional-cult-think-programming.

  out on the porch, sun shinning, birds chirping, scotch in one hand, demon haunted world in the other.. as i was driving my wife to the convention grounds, she thanked me for all the help i had provided her in getting ready for the convention, and for driving her.

  *Sex* & the Evolution vs. Creation debate

  by tetrapod.sapien in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just looking back over some of the evolution vs. creation debates that have taken place here on jwd in the recent past.

  and i was struck by something.

  sorry if this has been done already.. practically all posts (i could almost safely say "all") in the debates are authored by males.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of my ex-best friends am i over reacting and just being "touchy" and should not send the reply in anger?

  it is really worse than death.

  he happened to stumble on 3 john vs. 13 & 14 (the same scripture you had wrote on your care package to me for costa rica).

  as some of you may know, i am a recently self-deconverted jw.

  the experience of deconversion was at times emotional.

  i have compiled a list of songs i would listen to on those emotionally turbulent occasions.
