  our little party here is coming to a close and i am very sad about that.

  i remember on my high school graduation day in june of 1972, we were all standing in the cafeteria getting our caps and gowns on and i looked around the room at all these people i had literally grown up with for 18 years and thought "this is the last time we are all going to be all together" and it made me cry.

  i have come to depend on and love you guys so much.

  ...Do you Appreciate Life more?...

  by OUTLAW in

  2. beliefs

  ..i`ve watched jehovah`s witness`s live and die for decades..they really seem to have a lack of appreciation,for the limited time they have on this earth.....and..why should`nt they?..jehovah`s witness`s are going to live forever!.....there`s no rush to do anything.except to get to the next meeting,assembly or get out in the field service.....celebrations of almost any kind are avoided..excelling at anything is discouraged..a death in the congregation is no big deal.that person will be resurrected.....jehovah`s witness`s don`t have a hunger for life,because they`re stuck with it!..there`s no way out,unless you stop being a jw..if you stop being a jw,you loose your family and friends!..so basically,jehovah`s witness`s are stuck with living forever!..lol!

  !.............now that you realize,that your life has an expiration date..do you appreciate life more?................................outlaw

  Banned expressions= Pioneers abused me for saying "that sucks or peeved"!

  by Witness 007 in

  yes as a young man on 20 out witnessing with the special pioneers one brother said his bible study wasn't home...."oh that sucks" said i......well, you would have thought i said "that sucks balls" three pioneers completely freak out and as a "trinity" start telling me off...i didn't think it was a swear word....anyone else?.

  once the c.o used the term "peeved off" during his talk...well, everyone did research on the word to see if it was the same as "pissed off.

  ".

  My understanding of the term bulletin comes from the catholics. I believe it has something to do with a message from the Pope. I'll have to look it up, it's been a long time ago.

  When I was young I would change words around, like, instead of saying "bummer", I would say, "bumper"...instead of, "far out", I would say, "farm out". Yea, I know, I'm a little weird.

  You should have seen my dog's reaction to the sounds of that pissed off cat on Youtube! She was just sleeping here next to me, and when that cat started crying and hissing she jumped up and started freaking out!! Gymbob

  possibly mistaken.. in `rock around the christmas tree' featuring kim wilde, it appears to show two muppets singing from a watchtower(it may however be a song sheet!)..

  question on atheism vs. god

  by bonnzo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am, for now a witness on the outside, and still believe in god most of the time.

  i have read dawkins "the god delusion", found it pretty interesting and helped me understand why athiests believe the way they do.

  but i always have questions.....one that really bothers me about deism is the thought that god has always existed and always will, had no beginning and no end.

  Even if there was a creator, that still doesn't mean that he/she/it wants to be worshipped, or is worthy of our worship. It also doesn't mean that this creator can hear prayers, or even gives a rat's ass about us here on this speck of a speck planet, in this speck of a speck solar system, in this speck of a speck galaxy.

  That was an interesting reply to my comment, and I can respect your view and beliefs. However, why do you say I don't want to worship God? Why would anyone in their right mind not want to have a relationship with the creator? The problem is....God.

  For years I've tried talking to him, but he never responds. He has never started a conversation, I have to start every one. Plus, since he is invisible and doesn't talk, that makes it even harder to believe in him. Why has he made it so hard?

  Frankly, I'm just tired of trying to worship someone who has created a situation that makes it impossible to believe. I'll be here if, and when he comes out of hiding, but don't tell me that I don't want to worship God. Gymbob

  "death map" shows heat a big hazard to americans"the most dangerous places to live are much of the south, because of the heat risk, the hurricane coasts and the great plains states with their severe weather, cutter said.. the south central united states is also a dangerous area, with floods and tornadoes.. california is relatively safe, they found.".
