Maybe they're still angry over the fact that we ran them out of America over 200 years ago? Their Government is basically why the 2nd Amendment was written, approved and adopted.

by hillbilly in.
you wont discuss your own politics with out a browbeating from old hill.... but eman starts a thread about the us second amendment to it's consitution and all sorts of brits chime in.. for the record... i really dont care about your big-eared prince and his "gnawer"* new bride.... why do ya'all care about my guns?.
*gnawer.. a woman so ugly that if one woke up in bed (after a drunken night) with her they would gnaw their arm off to escape...rather than chance waking her in the daylight.

A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position. After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to 2 men and a woman, but only one position was available. The day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun. "We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The man got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!" "Well," says the CIA man, "you're definitely not the right man for this job then." So they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances," they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her." The second man looked a bit shocked, but nonetheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opened. The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job." "No," the CIA man replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home." Now they're down to the woman left to test. Again they lead her to the same door to the same room and hand her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him." The woman took the gun and opened the door. Once the door closed, the CIA heard the gun start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. Then all hell broke loose in the room. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet. The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat the bastard to death with the chair!"

Examples of JW evasiveness/dishonesty
by BONEZZ inbeing born and bred into the borg i always felt it was the "truth" but i wasn't the one who measured up i was not good enough to be a dub.
but i also had nagging questions that went unanswered by the most learned elders...or at least not answered to my satisfaction.
their "answers" were in fact not really answers but side-steps or attempts to mis-direct my question into an area they could answer.. an example...it always bothered me that we could not examine the contents of what opposers put out.

The Watchtower Society has set itself up on the pedistal of "Truth"...the one and only true religion, and God's channel for education and salvation. The "Truth" should be able to withstand all attacks and answer all questions with complete satisfaction. In fact, the more questions that are asked, the more apparant the "Truth" will be and the brighter it's light will shine. One lie, one falsehood, and it loses ALL credibiliy. Just one lie, and you can never believe ANYTHING they say. They did it to themselves.

Another situation where you can't have it both ways. You can't arm the populace, in case the government gets outta hand, and keep weapons out of the hands of wackos. It's human nature...any freedom is eventually going to be corrupted

The Watchtower Society should welcome close scrutiny. If you are absolutely assured that you have the "Truth"...all the answers...then you should welcome all questions, because in being able to answer them all, the fact that you have the "Truth" would become crystal-clear to everyone. When you know you are right, it's only natural to shout, "Bring it on!" Isn't this what Jehovah did when Adam and Eve sinned? When Satan called into question the "rightness" of God's rule, didn't Jehovah essentially say, "Ok, let man rule himself. Let's see how well he does. You'll see that I'm right. Bring it on"?

I absolutely agree with Purps. You are the best thing your husband has going for him, and probably his best hope. If he is an alcoholic...and only HE can determine that...then there's nothing you can do to change it. Only he can. In fact, that's the first step of AA. Admitting that you are powerless. Only he can do that. Most alcoholics are in denial, and don't want to discuss it. Pick up some AA literature and leave it where he can find it. And join Alanon, as notperfectyet suggested. It's a great organization, where people really care about you. It's about empowerment. As the serenity prayer says, "change the things you can". And there's really only one thing in life that you cange change...you

Good thoughts

15 things you probably never knew or thought about 1. at least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.. 2. at least 15 people in this world love you in some way.. 3. the only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.. 4. a smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.. 5. every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.. 6. you mean the world to someone.. 7. if not for you, someone may not be living.. 8. you are special and unique.. 9. someone that you don't even know exists loves you.. 10. when you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.. 11. when you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.. 12. when you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.. 13. always remember the compliments you received.
forget about the rude remarks.. 14. always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.. 15. if you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

Did you get it? What rehab is all about? it's about living your life, without hiding behind drugs or alcohol o0r anything else. Life is summed up in two words. Responsibility and integrity. Live those, be satisfied with those, and you are good to go. FEAR...face everything and recover
