  Yeh, did my Padi course about 5 years ago. Great diving here in SA. Have heard the Red Sea is good. Would love to dive the Seychelle Islands. Try night diving, brilliant flourescent colours, just swim back to shore on the surface is a bit unnerving. Darin

  Hi Evergreen,

  Yeh, me too, it was simply religious overdose. Too much religion, feeling my mind aching to hear something different, the utter boredom. All those talks were so damn predictable I could usually guess correctly 9/10 times what the next sentence would be etc...I can't believe how the witnesses would all act like they had heard this info for the first time, saying how insightful it was etc......etc......... puke

  Wow Terry,

  I have had the same thoughts about this as you, but have not been able to explain it as well as you just have.

  Thanks, your posts are very good.

  Take Care

  Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, makes me want to break the sound system, run for my life, or hang myself in desperation.

  Is The Watchtower Organization Thought Of As An American Religion?

  by Outaservice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  while we all know that the jehovah's witnesses are found throughout the world, someone once told me that in other countries the governing body does not carry the weight that they do in the united states.. do you living in germany, france, uk, australia, etc.

  feel that was the case?

  to me, it seemed that such persons as the australians were such a 'gutsy' independent, wild west sort of culture that would question authority more so than say a u.s. witness.. is this primarily thought of as an american religion by others?.

  there are so many to choose from over the net.

  i usually use the basic wallpapers that windows xp provide.. i love using "azul" wallpaper to remind me of the summer, since our summers don't last long.. .

  this time of year i turn to the "autumn" wallpaper with the nice colored leaves.. .
