she replied "well lets see how your life turns out then!"
Okay, mom, let's do! ...Uh... are you going to watch and see, mom, or are you going do do your best to drag my life down by either shunning me or constantly harping about this?

Free Moral Agents My A...... !
by YYHWH inonce i read a story about the so-called "free will of man," and it goes something like this.
a certain infidel was reported to have raised his hand and dared god, if there be a god, to bring it down.
now the case was such, the story goes, that the infidel was bald, and there was a fly buzzing around which at that very moment landed on this bald pate and tickled it, and without hesitation down came the hand and swatted the fly.

Then we see how God used this man's will against itself.
Nope. What we see is what was in the mind of the guy who made up the story.

A really, really weird question......
by VioletAnai inok, don't think i'm nuts, but i have a rather personal question to ask you.
it's just that i saw a kid do this and i've never seen it in my life, and then a friend told me it happens to her too...every time.... ok, so the question is:.
do you shed tears and get a runny nose when doing number two?.

I've been known to make eyes water :D
I literally fell out of the chair laughing, "myself"!
Violet, sounds to me like the child was allergic to something in the bathroom.

Hiya, Tallywhacker! Have you ever thought of taking up a hobby? Banjo, maybe? Or woodworking? It's a great way to expend a lot of creative energy and vision! Or drumming... that's one of the things I love to do (along with woodworking). A couple of hours of thrashing at a well-tuned drumset with all four limbs in overdrive will do things to your state of mind that'd make the runner's-high crowd green with envy.
Give it some thought, man!

Complete reversal: from Witness to atheist
by Ephanyminitas ini'm pretty new here (five minutes old!
) and i'm curious: how many have left the organization and, in time, become athiests.
i was raised in the organization, so growing up, my thinking was -- of course -- stifled.

Are they calling it Beth-Sarim, by any chance?

Meet The New "Spirit-Directed" Govern...
by Derrick inhow they believe it is supposed to work .
[li] the present annointed governing body members shall soon pass away and receive their heavenly reward, not awaiting a resurrection.. [li] having run the fine "race" to the finish, they shall effectively pass "go" and collect their proverbial $200, to borrow a metaphor from the milton bradley game.. [li] upon their physical deaths they expect to enjoy an instant transfer of consciousness into glorious spirit bodies in heaven.. [li] not going to the proverbial monopoly "jail" upon their deaths (until awakening to a resurrection like the rest of sinful mankind), they expect to pass "jail" and go directly to a heavenly "park place" filled with riches and powers beyond earthly comprehension.. [li] these men who proclaimed themselves as part of the collective "faithful and discreet slave class" here on earth expect to enter heaven to reign over mankind as "priests" next to jesus christ, who is king over the earth, for a thousand years.. how it might actually work.
[li] the present men on the watchtower society's governing body shall soon die of natural age related causes.. [li] each one suddenly finds himself hovering over and looking down on his frail aged body in shock and puzzlement, as younger men scurry about his body.

"What does Reincarnation mean?"
A Texan asked his friend.
His pal replied, "It happens when
Yer life has reached its end.
They comb yer hair, and wash yer neck,
And clean yer fingernails,
And lay you in a padded box
Away from life's travails."The box and you goes in a hole,
That's been dug into the ground.
Reincarnation starts in when
Yore planted 'neath a mound.
Them clods melt down, just like yer box,
And you who is inside.
And then yore just beginnin' on
Yer transformation ride."In a while, the grass'll grow
Upon yer rendered mound.
Till some day on yer moldered grave
A lonely flower is found.
And say a hoss should wander by
And graze upon this flower
That once wuz you, but now's become
Yer vegetative bower."The posy that the hoss done ate
Up, with his other feed,
Makes bone, and fat, and muscle
Essential to the steed,
But some is left that he can't use
And so it passes through,
And finally lays upon the ground
This thing, that once wuz you."Then say, by chance, I wanders by
And sees this upon the ground,
And I ponders, and I wonders at,
This object that I found.
I thinks of reincarnation,
Of life and death, and such,
And come away concludin':
'You ain't changed all that much.'" -

Sheep and Goats
by KistByQpid ini am familiar with the parable, as found in matthew.
however, i don't understand the jw take on this one.
jw's like to think of themselves as "sheep" and perhaps someone slamming the door in thier face a "goat.

Goats are cuter than sheeps!
And, apparently, more suitable for bedding in Jehovah's eyes.
"...Rejoice with the wife of your youth, a lovable hind and a charming mountain goat. Let her breasts intoxicate you at all times. With her love may you be in an ecstasy constantly."
- Jehovah God
(as quoted at Proverbs 5:18,19, NWT) -

Losing my Religion......
by flower inwell at 29 years old, after a lifelong relationship/belief in/association with a higher power i called god, here i am very close to taking an athiestic or agnostic approach to the rest of my life.
it really hit me the other day although my doubts have been there but i just have been forcing myself to ignore them because i was afraid to give up that religious part of me because its all that i have ever been and i was afraid of the unknown.
but i realized after getting through another one of those weeks from hell that it makes no difference how much i pray or how much i believe.

Many examples in the Bible are given
