I want someone who is a little closer to someone I can relate to. I do not care of their Christian, but do they have to be God this and God that, to play to the base? It will get you 47% and that will drop more and more. People want a more every day person, a more down to earth person and I do not want someone in their late sixties and seventies. I want someone in late 40's to early 60's. I do like a good education for a background, experience in business, and I actually like a military background (but not a must). I know I am not the only one who feels these ways.

Also on those red and blue maps. They are BULL CRAP nonesense. County by county, my ass! There are counties there in big red colors that have populations of a couple thousand. Where as some of those small blue counties that look minor, have populations of millions. We do not vote by square footage, we vote by numbers. Also, another thing, the biggest problem is the nonvoter. A huge percentage of our population does not believe their vote matters. That is sad.

Anyway, politics suck!

After leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses, I started getting in to politics. I naturally found myself going Republican and voted a long those lines. However, with my more Pagan nature and being pretty much against Christianity. I found I did not exactly fit with that party. So I looked at the Democrats, as they are pretty much the party of anything goes and don't give a crap what you do or think. As long as you will vote Democrat, you are acceptable ... come on in. I found that a little to open door in policy and yet third party parties were an even bigger joke.

So basically I had to just find who agreed with things I liked and vote for them. So I am pro gun, like small government and that tends to lend itself to the Republicans. But it is so irritating, that the people who believe in these things are also believing it little mythology angels and gods. People who think God allows children to be killed, to complete some grand plan. People who post dumb things on Facebook to ask for prayers and only acknowledge it worked when they a positive result happens and ignore all the bad tims that nothing happened. These people are the Republicans and while they support things that matter, they are a joke of people.

As Democrats breed more and more children who love government support, government control and liberal views of a socialistic society. Republicans and their weapon of pray will start to become less in less. While they spend time judging those wicked gay people and spending time fighting them, while they fight to control how people use their body and take down all those evil pot smokers. The Democrats will grow and people will find they like the party of anything goes and that will bring down the Republicans more and more.

I actually doubt a Republican will be President again, and feel sorry for any man or woman who runs on that ticket. Because that party is done, done and more done. Frankly it is sad, but maybe they should pray on it and some angels will leave heaven and make sure Democrats loss. Otherwise, unless they become a party with less Christian mythology ... they were just plain, done! And frankly that is sad.

Politics suck!

My best man at my wedding, twenty years ago, was someone I always trusted. He was a friend for fishing, a friend who remained when I left the religion with my wife 15 years ago and although he was a bit issolated. I kind of trusted him. He had become inactive in the religion and about a year ago he disappears off the face of the planet for a week. As a joke, I mention to my wife that he might have gotten arrested. So I check the local mug shots and sure enough ... my friend is there for molesting a little girl. Apparently ten years ago and all touching and not sex, but it is what it is and in Oregon that is a measure 11 offense.

Our amazing fast justice system finally got around a month ago to a trial and despite thousands of dollars spent on a lawyer. My former best man got six years, three months in prison. So what does he do, he goes to the elders and confesses and they start to help him. They have arranged for a bible study in the prison, have informed the prison congregation he is coming and been supporting him 100% with attempts to support and help him. Yeah, they are amazing and loving.

Now the woman (she is 22 now) is someone I know and have known since her birth ran in to me at the mall a couple weeks ago. I asked her how she was doing, and found out she was getting married and happy. We talked for awhile and talked about how much the Jehovah's Witnesses were a cult and glad to be gone. So she brings up my former Bestman and I could tell she was seeing if I was angry with her for reporting it. I mention I had talked to him and felt he was getting what he deserved and hopefully he got some help for his mental issues. I then ask, "So have the elders came to you, checked on you, or made any attempt to reach out to you?" Her answer, "No, not a single one."

So to those people still in and thinking your elders are so loving, so amazing and just the leader of these flocks of loving people. Here is the big middle finger and a smile, because you are a fool. I will say though, the victim is getting married in four months and I am attending her wedding in a local church and the molester starts his sentence tomorrow where he will join his fellow "Servants of Jehovah" doing six years and three months. Wow, Jehovah works in mysterious ways ... right?

Enjoy truth.

Question about this site

by free2beme in

friends

i have come to this site for almost a decade.

even though i do not stop by much anymore, i wonder why it has not been upgraded or changed to a more modern format.

it seems like it has basically just been left to what it was upgraded to several years ago.

free2beme

Everytime FB does an update. People freak out and complain. Then they get used to it and forget the changes or care. Same would be here. I remember the old format. Improvement never killed anyone.

How many went from christian to something else?

by Satanus in

i noticed some posters who used to argue along christian lines, but don't do so, anymore.

granted, it's a tough line to keep to on this forum.

i would be interested to hear (read) of people who came here as believers, and then transitioned to unbeliever, and the reasons for that.

free2beme

Wicca, Shamanism and basically all things Pagan. I like Spiritism.

My husband deleted me as a friend on FaceBook

by cognac in

friends

after this whole thing with him talking to this other girl on fb, now he deleted me as a friend.

i have his username and password.

it's like, he doesn't want this marriage to work at all.. i don't even have it in me to argue with him.

free2beme

If he deleted you, he is hiding something and wants to not let you see his friend connections. Trust me, FB is a way to cheat and it happens. It is also the main way to communicate with some control. Best advice, sit and talk and be honest if you want to try and if you do ... let him have you read everything and face the facts of anything you read. Just tell him, "Look, be honest with what I will see now" and go from there. But above all things, if he did what he did ... he is cheating! If not physically, with words and getting ready to go further. Most likely though, the deletion happened because the next step happened already and he is closing doors that could reveal what happened.

Just to say. I was not saying I disliked the site. I was saying a site improvement would be nice. I have been here a long time. I remember older formats then this one.
