Is There a Creator Who Cares About You?
This is the newest creator book I know of. It has a picture of the Eagle Nebula Pillers of Creation on the cover. Is this the book your talking about?

I've been verbally attacked a few times, one of the worst times happened when I was five. She just started screaming at me and my mom, called us a cult and threatened to call the police. Once when I was thirteen I went to the door with a friend about my age and the lady threatened us and started to throw rocks at us, she picked them up and acted like she was going to anyway, so we took off running. Really freaked us out. All the really mean people have been women.

I remember hearing stories about people listening to rap or rock music on the radio and then having their room possesed until they stopped and burned their cd's.. So when I first got the nerve to read Harry Potter I was nervous that I was bringing demons into my room. I actually had a nightmare about this happening, I was so freaked out I returned the book to the library. I've gotten over my fear.

I never really enjoyed it. I'm shy by nature so going up to people's door and talking to them isn't really my thing. Actually I told my parents this quite frequently and I think they understood. I really hate going to the door with pioneers, two or three in particular, they always will tell people what they do wrong in their presentations. I enjoyed taking breaks and talking with my friends in between doors but not ever talking to people.

For NICE PEOPLE only!
by BlessedStar init seems as though many people come to this board and leave in a short space of time.. it's a pity.. there are people on this board who are very nice and polite even when discussing various views.
this leads to understanding and concern.
i would like to meet you people.. please post in here.. i term nice as being kind, not cursing, love for god almighty, thrives on the right things in life, not hurting other's feelings, etc.. blessed star

Hey blessed star
I would like to think i'm nice. on rare ocasions I do cuss. I believe in and love God, but I don't think it is necessary to be nice. I think that dictionary.com's def of nice :agreeable in nature and of good charecter, polite and courteous might be a little bit better.

Question about "good works" ??? ???
by Kristofer innot ever having been a jw, i was curious to know something.... are witnesses ever encouraged to do good works for the less fortunate?
(giving to the poor, working in a soup kitchen, helping the elderly, other volunteer work, etc..).
i know scripture states you will know believers by their "fruit".

Scout:
I would agree that some here have a negative, too negative perhaps, opinions of jws. I know a lot of nice loving jws. that being said, I have never heard any ask a householder if they need help or really help those outside of the cong. Their idea of helping was leaving a mag. I do remember hearing that going door to door was far more important than helping the poor or hungary(temporary, while preaching would help them forever in paradise.)
Some cong. may be different, but i've heard people be criticized for donating to charities (just put money in the world wide work box).

Americans need to grow up
by slimboyfat inwhat is all this carry on (controversy) about "brokeback mountain"?
my goodness, they are acting like 12-year-olds.

If you want fair and balanced reporting don't watch Fox. Most Americans don't really care that much about Brokeback Mountain. It's doing alright at the box office, not everyone approves but we aren't protesting and burning buildings. A very small minority is the majority of the noise.

collegegurl, I think some (ignorant) ppl think of cowboys as the last bastion of male heterosexuality.....what is going through their minds is, "If a cowboy could be gay, that means.......oh horror........anyone could be gay!" ;
I think you meant collegegirl21 not collegegurl(thats me)
