I really enjoy his writing and listening to him speak. I've watched his movies on Google Video.
He's also in "The God Who Wasn't There," which is well done.

That poem sounds like the writer's been reading soft-core porn... like, the Song of Solomon.

It's Our daughter's B-Day & Mom gets Pious on us
by 30girl inokay, historically my mother has always called me and jim and our kids on all of our b-days - always, we've been married 14 years and she's never forgotten and neither have my siblings, until this year.
this year she has decided that she can no longer continue her tradition, it isn't right.
this year she has decided to get religious on us.

My elder father laid-out his 96-year-old pioneer mother when she went to have dinner with her sister on her sister's 100th birthday. No presents or anything - just dinner and sharing happy memories and letting her know she was loved. They haven't got a clue... I didn't, either, when I was in. Happy Birthday Wishes To Your Daughter!!!

Well that was a hard phone call to make
by SixofNine init makes me wonder how i would have handled it if i was a witness?
would i have called?
she's a woman of particular faith; and it's too late for a conversion, and she gets a ticket to the new system anyway, so what a convenient excuse to do nothing.

I downloaded it from Audible.com. Harris wrote it in response to the feedback he got after publishing The End of Faith. I'm listening to The God Delusion right now and will follow-up with both of Harris' books next.

Anybody a member of AAA? Would you recommend it?
by AlmostAtheist ini'm thinking about joining the aaa auto club.
my car is getting along in years and isn't going to get replaced any time soon.
i'm imagining that my stranded-on-the-side-of-the-road moment is imminent.

I had AAA when I first started driving. They were useful for trip planning and flats outside my home. Roadside usually took so long, my folks would show up wherever I was before AAA got there.
At one point, I had roadside via Cingular Wireless, but when I called for help after a blowout, the rep I got wasn't even in the 48 contiguous states and couldn't seem to find any major city or highway near my breakdown. And, no, they don't track your phone.
I've got Better World Club now, but haven't had the need to call them yet.

Me: "So do I. I go with the bible on those differences too."Her: "Whoa, no, don't even start with me [Ithinkisee]. I'm not gonna have these kinds of apostate conversations with you."
Defending your use of the Bible as your standard = "apostate conversation"
The mind boggles...

ITIS - Sorry to hear about the hounding. I was hoping your family would get a clean start free of this kind of nonsense. At least you and FreedomLoverr are on the same page and ready to back each other up.

Anxiety, stress, depression - What do you take?
by MsMcDucket ini've been feeling like a slug.
the antidepressant that i was taking wasn't working.
the doctor couldn't give me another steroid injection for my migraines because it caused my blood sugars to go sky high and made me suffer from steroid induced mania; and then after it started leaving my system, i had this really down feeling.

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I had a major break in '02. While I've been able to reduce my meds since coming out of the Org, I'm still on an antidepressant - Effexor.
Effexor, but, lately I've been feeling very lethargic.
I am no doctor but apparently this is one of the side effects of this antidepressant
This might explain why I've been so tired since coming off my anti-anxiety med (Buspar).
I know it likely won't be any comfort, but I went through a number of meds and combinations of meds before we found the right one. A particularly troublesome problem was break-through: a med would work for a while, then all of a sudden my symptoms would return and we were on the search again. And side-effects are enough to push anyone over the edge.
I'd been emotionally stable for about a year when I left the JWs in '05, but I'd started developing symptoms similar to FM/CFS. Lots of these health issues have resolved or improved since my departure from the Org.
