i have been thinking a great deal about where i stand at this moment in time in terms of a belief in a creator verses a belief in an evolutionary process.
i think the best way to describe it is an exploratory path.
i look at what is around me and i acknowledge it is remarkable.

one thing that truly bothers me is that the religion forces you to accept an understanding they have expressed.
they might very well change their view and you simply have to accept the newest view or you are the bad guy!
the generation understanding has changed so much since its inception, how could any witness possibly be 100% sure that what they're told to believe in is "the truth"??.
The way they use disasters like Haiti to make a profit
Same thing with special assembly day's , I think these are just way's to make

from jw.org, here is the new definition of the generation from the april 15, 2010 watchtower.. .
article: holy spirits role in the outworking of jehovahs purpose.
13 third, holy spirit is at work in bringing bible.
All I got to say is WOW!
And they still have the balls to say
((He evidently meant that the lives of the anointed
who were on hand when the sign began to become
evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other
anointed ones who would see the start of the great
tribulation))
I would love to go to the meeting and sit and wait for this paragraph to be read and
shout (( JESUS EVIDENTLY MEANT IT? YOU FREAKIN LIER!! )) and then walk out.

"now we'd like to call to the platform brother so-and-so, a [let's face it, capital letters should be used] regular pioneer and elder in the blah-blah-blah congregation.
brother so-and-so, what helped you to put kingdom interests first?".
Thanks that was great. You had me going there for a second. I thought " was this the latest assembly? and I can't believe there still push'in this crap"
and then I got to:

the local area is attempting to build a new kingdom hall.
the county says they do not want is done as a quick build.
they sited that too many of these quick builds have resulted with mold problems.
Yea, what's the damn hurry anyway, is the end of the world coming or something ?
If it is, why build the thing ?

news just broke that a pretty, blond 11 year old girl adbucted 18+ years ago was found.
her kidnapper kept her hidden for 18+ years, had 2 kids with her, and was picked up handing out religious literature at a college.
now, it surfaces that he has ties with the jehovah's witnesses.
Does this mean he won't be counting his time?

Cool idea! Flipper. My favorite was Oningo Boingo " It's a dead man's party " because it's how I felt when leaving the borg.
