  i was invited by a friend to view a thread that was 7 months old and i made my first posts in that thread but i think, being an old thread, i may miss out on talking to some of you.

  so, for a fresh start: i'm going to repost a few thoughts and start a few new thoughts.

  first: let me introduce myself: (don't make fun!

  Believer, non-believer, agnostic, atheist, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Wiccan, Sun worshipper, celebrity worshipper...

  I've found that our thoughts, feelings and beliefs don't matter much in the big picture. What we do is the only thing that counts

  I didn't think it was possible, but I met someone on the internet. She's hot and full of substance. Never thought this would happen to me.

  i've been away from the borg for many years now.

  the only information i have about new light/doctrine change/flip flops is from this board.

  so i'm hoping you can help me with a couple of questions i've had since i was a kid.. does the wtbts have a plan for what the jws are supposed to do while the battle of armaggedon is being fought?.

  Cleaning up all those corpses and all that rubble will require all their vigor.

  KS, aren't the birds and wild animals supposed to eat all the corpses?

  There's a nice image for JWs. Watching your unbelieving daughter's eyes pecked out by crows and her body devoured by stray dogs while all your friends sing praises to Jah

  Another question: Wasn't there a rumor back in the '70s about an unnatural increase in bird population?

  Does the WTBTS have a plan for what the JWs are supposed to do while the battle of Armaggedon is being fought?

  When the the mountains fall and the earth opens up and fireballs are raining down from heaven and people are killing each other and tongues and eyes are rotting in faces...

  Are there any instructions from the WTBTS concerning what average Joe Publisher and his family are supposed to do?

  Hide in the house? Run for the hills? Congregate at the nearest Kingdom Hall? Go about their business, trusting that Jehovah will keep them safe?

  Also, I seem to remember that it was said that some "good" JWs might accidently be murdered die at Armaggedon. If so, Jehovah will resurrect them. True or no?

  Don't tilt your head in the rain--those things will rust.

  I get it. Tin ear. Very clever

  I'm old enough to appreciate Sinatra and Dino

  lets say you are enjoying a glass of good red wine while preparing dinner.

  you pick up your glass for a sip and see a gnat floating on top.

  1. pour the whole thing in the sink and pour a fresh one.. 2. pick out the gnat and drink the wine.. 3. ignore it and drink the wine and the gnat.. i am a 2. i have done a 3 and it didn't spoil my appetite.. .

  Why I Disagree With Affirmative Action

  by snowbird in

  quietlyleaving asked this of me on another thread:.

  but snowbird i have to ask you why you disagree with affirmative action.

  one of the best things about a policy of affirmative action is that an establishement is saying 'you are welcome here' to minorities and that 'we regret that we excluded you in the past'.. while i acknowledge the good that affirmative action has done, ql, i've also been a witness to its downside.. let me explain: i was once sitting for an examination for a state job, and i overheard a conversation between two other ladies who were also taking the exam.. one commented on how difficult the exam was; the other somewhat flippantly replied that it was ok if they didn't do their best because the state of alabama is an affirmative action employer.

  One Reason Why I Speak About Racism

  if anyone cares or dares to read this, this is how it was when i was 13 years of age.. the gap in funding for black and white kids' education is still stunning to me 46 years later, but it's there in black and white.. it's a testament to our determination and fortitude that we acquired an education at all.. this, in the richest country on the planet!.

  for your edification and, hopefully, understanding.. syl.

  What if we were to stop worrying about "black rights" and "gay rights", and focus on INDIVIDUAL rights? Each one of us would be treated as an individual, not as a member of some group.

  Individual rights, individual responsibilities. Sounds great
