  It was the first thing I heard this morning. That's terrible! I hope the threat is completely eliminated... I really don't understand those people who strike at random and try to hurt people who have nothing to do with their conditions. Like KW13, this stuff makes me angry but I have to admit that it scares me too sometimes.

  Boycotting Israel

  i see that quite a few are following the dreadful attacks in lebanon.

  today i went swimming to cool off with mr c and we were discussing what ways we could make our disapproval and anger at israels actions felt, besides being human shields.

  (mr c reckons i'm big enough to stop one missile, but would be pretty useless after that.

  ...or is not influenced by the White House's pro-Israel propaganda. By the way, there's only one "S" in "asinine".

  Israel produces avocadoes (among other goods). I've also seen on the news Israeli colonists who had evicted neighboring Palestinians from their lands where Palestinians grew olive trees. So I guess they probably sell olives too.

  I think nobody mentioned John Frusciante (guitar) and Flea (bass guitar) in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. These guys are amazing.

  Many things but the one thing that I hated the most and that eventually helped me leave the organization: I knew worldly people who were great persons and it bothered me that I would live forever in a better world while these worldly people would die even though they were better people than most JWs I knew (including myself).

  I came home to find my wife crying over THAT article.

  i came home today to find my wife crying whilst reading the 'when a loved one leaves jehovah' article.

  its been a good few months now and i can appreciate how she feels.

  but it just irritates me how my disagreeing with this religion has such a catastrophic effect on our everyday lives.

  I am the black sheep in the family. I think I can imagine what you're going through. You made the right decision and that's what matters most.
  sorry for my ignorance but who is Ted Jaracz?

  Gee, I must be an American after all!
  Seriously, Avengers: it takes more than kissing Uncle Sam's ass to get a Green Card. He doesn't care about the American kids he sends to a *remote* battlefied and to a horrible fate. What makes you think he cares about a Dutchman flying a US flag on the internet? Fly one of those on your porch: I'm sure your neighbors would have a good laugh.

  Fair minded person with a fair point of view

  i have been one of jehovah's witnesses for about 9 years before i became inactive.

  i just had some comments i'd like to make.. i think the reason why i'm inactive now is because i've come to a point in my life where i feel obligated to admit that i just don't know.

  at one time i was as fiery and zealous of a witness as anyone could be but i had this nagging feeling that i really didn't know what i was talking about when i was witnessing to people.

  Welcome Keo,
  Clever people like you don't stay in the organization all their lives. It must not be easy for you right now because of all the unanswered questions you thought you knew the answers to. You sound like a very sensible person: Trust your own judgment.

  Sort of morbid question

  by unbeliever in

  2. friends

  this came to my mind after i read 24k's would you go back thread.

  just say when armageddon came jehovah gave you one last chance to repent of your apostate ways and live for eternity with jw's.

  would you take jehovah up on this offer or ask him to strike you dead?

  I would tell Him: "Strike me. You don't deserve my allegiance." (Good morbid question, Unbeliever)
