  I hope when it happens that someone fixes the ozone layer or else we will fry!

  Read in scientific american recently that the hole in the ozone layer is starting to close. I guess switching to a pump style hairspray dispenser really did help...

  To all active JWs or double life JWs

  one of the previous posts made me wonder how many active jws post on this site and how many of you are only in because not wanting to lose your family and you are leading a double life and also how many of you are still active but questioning.

  please, all of you, i would like to hear your stories (of course not enough info to give away your identity) and why you are still in.

  i think a lot of us that are out would be interested.. nowimfree.

  My family keeps me in. They pretty much know that i don't believe but would be "loyal" enough to WTS if i was actually D'fd or Da'd. As long as i can fringe then they still love me and talk to me. I have a few close friends in the truth, also on the fringe and can have a decent conversation with them usually. But i don't do service. I haven't turned in time in over 6 months and before that it was all made up anyway. I go to every sunday meeting and maybe 2 "big meetings" a month. One or two bookstudies depending. My wife knows how i feel about god but right now they aren't hurting her or my family so i can play along. If however they did hurt my family i would become the biggest blister on their side imaginable. (watch out danny!! ;-) My wife knows that if we ever had a child i would allow blood if needed. But right now it isn't an issue. I've told her that i would respect her wishes if she was hurt, and i don't carry a blood card so there shouldn't be an issue if i am hurt.

  Would YOU Have Allowed Your Child To Die Instead Of Giving Blood?

  be honest.

  i believe there was a time we all would've done it or at least say we would've done it.

  I recently had this discussion with my wife, (still faithful) even though i still go to meetings i wouldn't let our child or myself die from lack of blood. (i might let her die but she is an adult) The funny thing is she didn't exactly disagree. Just said it was wrong but didn't push the issue. I don't think she would want our child (as of yet still a figment of imagination) to die either.

  There have been parts on meetings and DC's about blogs and myspace (mentioned by name). I get the impression that most of the young people don't really care. I have a feeling this might be "the generation" who give up on the nonsense. (at least one can hope) If there was no org then i wouldn't have to pretend for the sake of my family.

  There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea is asleep and the rivers drea. There are people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there is danger, somewhere there is injustice. And somewhere else my tea is getting cold. Come on Ace, we've work to do.

  Is it reasonable for Christians to believe in 'aliens' ?

  by Franz in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  by "aliens" let's assume beings capable of making moral choices, having intellect, emotion, and a will (angels, who are extra-terrestrials, also fit into this category, but this answer will deal with three-dimensional, physical beings).

  i'll briefly address the question of algae or even dog or cat-like animals later.

  but first, a few scientific facts:

  so last weekend i'm heading out of my apartment for a lunch date.

  as i am walking down the sidewalk to my car, two men in suits with bookbags walking towards me try to start a conversation by saying "excuse me" with big smiles.

  i just walked by them and said "i'm an apostate".

  Does God make Mistakes or Bad Decisions?

  by gumby in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  genesis 6:5-7, 8:21. god decides to send a great flood to kill all humans, save noah and his family, because man's heart is evil.

  "and god saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.... and the lord said, i will destroy man whom i have created from the face of the earth.".

  later, after the flood waters recede, god promises never to do it again because man's heart is evil.

  Not a blonde joke but still funny.

  A doctor is making his rounds at an insane assylum and enters room one. Inside a man is pretending to play basketball. The Dr asks, "What are you doing?" The man replies, "I'm getting out in 6 weeks i'm going to be a basketball player."

  Dr. Goes into the second room and there is a man pretending to play baseball. "What are you doing?" The man replies, "Im getting out in 6 weeks i'm going to be a baseball player."

  Dr. goes into the third and there is a man with his dick in a can of peanuts. "What are you doing?" The man replies, "I'm never getting out of here, I'm fucking nuts."
