This is why sometimes I don't type (respond to posts) as much as I'd like. No pity-party, just intended so people can get a better idea. My fingers look comfortable but they barely move since the nerves that help with movement are severed.

What really happens to people when they die?
by ButtLight indo you think people can stick around, like ghosts?
i think they can, and i think you can communicate with them.
i told my mom to haunt my house when she dies.

I'm inclined to agree with joel. Sometimes when I dream I try to realize I'm dreaming and manipulate the dreams. Sometimes it works. How can I do that if I'm "unconcious"? I also experience sleep paralysis sometimes and that is no fun, trust me.

Buffalo, NY JW woman killed by stray bullet
by Cygnus in.
it seemed like a normal, tragic story, a hard-working mother who held down 2 jobs and all of her children went to college.. then the article says she was a devout jw.
i had to do a double-take.. http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20050818/1025447.asp

I've been to the nastier parts of Rocha-cha-cha. Definitely nowhere I'd like to live. Syracuse never seemed that bad. The Buffalo ghetto is huge, this city simply needs a big bomb to go off so we can start over. I had become a little immune to it 'cause I used to have a lot of jobs in some of the worst parts of the city. But admittedly a few times I drove up to the house, took one look, and kept driving. Pizza delivery guys in these neighborhoods are regularly robbed or worse. I'd sleep in a park every night before getting an apartment on, say, Goodyear Ave.

Boy do I ever miss playing golf. There is no place I'd rather be than on a golf course. My best round is 82 so I'm not great, but hopefully if I heal up next year I can look to break 80.

What's Your View of Spanking (Children)?
by minimus inhave you done it?
would you still?
is it ever acceptable?
-

Cygnus
I just wanted to say that my father hated spanking us kids, but he did so 'cause he felt JWs/the Bible told him to do so. How terrible, to allow other men to make you do something you feel strongly against. Not just terrible, it is immoral. Edited to clarify: My dad wasn't knowingly acting immoral, I attribute the immorality to the JWs that told him through the pages of the Watchtower to not spare the rod.

A Comparison Of Translations
by Honesty indecide for yourself how accurate the new world translation is:.
*** rbi8 exodus 6:2-3 ***.
2 and god went on to speak to moses and to say to him: ai am jehovah.

: The word “other” which it is claimed is there to clarify the scripture has no place being there, as an interlinear Bible will show
{shakes head} That's just a pathetic statement, Going from memory and brevity because of bad hands, the greek construction is similar to one found in Luke where Jesus speaks of "the fig tree, and all the [other] trees." the NWT is justified in adding "other" in brackets. again, IN MY OPINION.
Edited to add: interlinears are for the purpose of aiding further study, not to be used as proofs

sorry dan, i didn't get much past "original texts" in what you posted 'cause there aren't any. NWT translators and revisers have done a lot of scholarly work to produce a pretty decent, if wooden, translation. IMO. I'd say more but my hands are killing me today and it's very difficult to type. Maybe later I'll revisit the thread.

Children or no Children?
by Sirona inthe jws used to always have discussions about whether to have children "in this system of things".. i used to always think it was pathetic to avoid having kids because of the so-called impending armageddon.. however.
despite the fact that i've always wanted kids, right now i'm not so sure.
just look at the things happening in the world.
