The only bands I've heard mentioned off stage are Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, and Nirvana. ANY rap music is supposed to be bad (the racist bastards) and ANY heavy metal group is bad.

I`m Inactive
by Beans ini have heard many people say that they are "inactive"!
if a catholic or protestant aren`t going to church or only go on religious holidays they still consider themselves part of that faith.
so if you call yourself inactive are you still a jehovahs witness?

good topic, very good. I think that Jehovah's Witnesses consider my wife and I "inactive" but my wife and I consider ourselves ex JW's. I guess it all lies in perception. I would never call myself inactive.

Correction: Dateline says 10:PM Eastern
by Amazing inedit: maybe i goofed.
i did not watch dateline tonight, and did not hear stone philips say it would be shown at 7:00 pm eastern.
this is better, because family and some friends on the west coast will have it easier.

Will the Watchtower file for bankruptcy?
by DevonMcBride ini wonder if the watchtower will use the same tactic as the hare krishnas.. devon.
>>hare krishnas to declare bankruptcy to avoid abuse lawsuit.
hare krishna congregations named in a lawsuit alleging sexual and emotional abuse of boarding school students will file for bankruptcy to avoid being sued.. a spokesman for the hindu sect said about a dozen congregations will start filing for bankruptcy reorganisation next week in several states.. the group hopes that if their plan is approved by federal bankruptcy judges, the $400 million (280 million) lawsuit filed in dallas by former boarding school students will be dismissed.. anuttama dasa, a maryland-based spokesman for the international society of krishna consciousness, or iskcon, said: "we don't believe that innocent members and congregations should be held accountable for the deviant behaviour of individual acts committed 20 or 30 years ago.".

I understand how bankruptcy works in these types of cases. I just think that (A) The WTS and its lawyers are far too arrogant and cocky to do such a thing and (b) they have the financial resources to protect themselves for quite some time. I'd love to see them go in to bankruptcy or cease to exist, but I just don't see it happening for quite some time, if ever.

When I was an active witness, I'd go to any website I wanted to....there isn't a listing of "banned websites", you know. Most of the JW's don't listen to those internet warnings. Only the old school JW's really hate the internet.

I always think in terms of "never say never", but with the vast finances that the WTS has, I'd say that that is many, many, many years away, if it ever happened.

NON-PROFIT organization
by somebody inhttp://www.xso.com/news/stories/arena.htm .
more important, he says, is the sweetheart deal thewitnesses got from the city.
while the group agreed to pay $12.5 million for the entire 72-acre tract, it immediately plan to sell 44 acres.. the reported asking price?

"The Trinity" - My Thoughts
by Olympiad inthe trinity my thoughts.
the thought behind the trinity is not so hard to understand or appreciate if you approach if from a philosophical viewpoint.
you must look beyond the obvious.

hmmmmm....my thoughts on the trinity:
don't know. don't care. don't wish to be dogmatic like the JW's. my holy trinity: my wife, music, and coffee. in that order.

Dubs and the coffee break..
by Princess inthis morning as i was running a few errands with my daughter, i stopped in at a seattle's best coffee shop.
there were a couple of sisters sitting in the corner pretending they didn't see me.
after i got my coffee and a cookie for my daughter, a couple more dubs came in, both pretending they didn't recognize me.

I'd love to help Princess....nothing like catching JW's wasting "jehovah's time" and counting it on their little slips...
by the way....are there any JW's in Auburn? I haven't seen any trace of them....not that I mind.
