  Political affiliation after leaving org.

  how long did it take you to decide if you were a liberal or conservative after leaving the organization?

  i find it interesting that even though it took me a number of years to get up the courage to vote, i knew right away i was politically/socially liberal.

  i knew that i had strong feelings about protecting the environment, about civil rights, free speech, etc.

  If you won the Lottery big time, would you be happier?

  how many of us imagine winning the big one, and all our problems in life would be solved.

  we could get whatever we wanted without worrying about money, could buy our way out of almost any situation (like the rich folks do), go on any vacation anywhere in the world, dress to the nines on a daily basis, and use our wealth to get others to do our bidding.. money = sex, power, influence, decadent luxury = happiness???.

  Are You Still Stuck In The Moral Panic trap?

  by Englishman in

  2. friends

  just curious..now that you're an exjw, do you think that the world is a good place or an evil place to be?.

  or are you screwed up about asylum seekers and other perceived threats to your security?.

  i tend to always err towards optimism generally.

  went to an assembly this past saturday.

  reason why i went cause my mother in law was baptized so the rest of us non believers went for moral support.

  it was in the "famous stanley theater" in nj that i heard so much about growing up, my mother was so happy even thou i went, watched baptizm, ate with my inlaws, and was out like a bolt of lightning lol.

  last time i went was with my wife about 6 years ago at the pontiac silverdome...............i still wonder how i went to things hauling 3 small children up and down those stairs....and because we had 3 small kids ( back in the 80's )...we always were either late of just getting there before the opening song,,,,and that meant climbing over about 4 to 6 persons..to get to a seat...and those seats were alawys in the most uncomfotable area...................and then as soon as we got seated...one of the kids would have to go to the bathroom....so you got to stand in line for about 30 minutes,,,and then when you came back...you got to climb all over those families all over again...of course the dirty looks would come along with that

  and then came lunch...( back then they were still serving it up )go wait in line and if you did not go RIGHT away...you would not get what you wanted....of course when that happen you got to listen to the wife and kids moan all the way home about it.......i dont miss that at all////donald

  kansas is holding a debate to decide.

  http://www.cnn.com/2005/education/05/02/life.evolution.reut/index.html.

  topeka, kansas (reuters) -- evolution is going on trial in kansas.. eighty years after a famed courtroom battle in tennessee pitted religious beliefs about the origins of life against the theories of british scientist charles darwin, kansas is holding its own hearings on what school children should be taught about how life on earth began.. the kansas board of education has scheduled six days of courtroom-style hearings to begin thursday in topeka.

  Were you allowed to play sports?

  by love11 in

  1. social
  2. physical

  i was never allowed to play sports, because it would be too much association with worldly people.

  no skating, dance class, racquet ball, softball, nothing.

  in my kingdom hall, only the "spiritually weak" played sports.
