  what's your sign baby? ;)

  where we live is a very *new agey*, *earthy* area.

  when i was a witness i never thought twice about my astrological sign or how it relates to anyone else.

  here, people are always asking what my sign is and i've really been entertained by how i see patterns with people in my life and how i've noticed i'm actually attracted to certain *signs* .

  The Sunday Thread!

  by Crumpet in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i just spent a helluva a long morning in bed even though i was awake early, then did some yoga before breakfast and a piping hot shower.

  now i feel like i still have a whole fabulous day to enjoy doing exactly what i want.. in my other life i used to dread sundays.

  i would read my book to take my mind off the imminent boredom right up until we got to the hall doors and then 2 hours of monotony would follow - the sickening nerves of making myself answer up, often choking mid sentence because i was so nervous, but worse was to come.

  Your becoming one of my favorite posters C,

  Good topic, My Sunday's used to start when I went to bed Saturday night, dreading the inevitable bed jarring from my parents to get up for the meeting. The only good thing was and most of us remember, what time our Sunday meeting started. If our "rotation " fell on the early meeting, then WOOHOO! there was still a day left to do something. If we drew the late meeting, 4 pm, Sunday was death.

  Early meetings had the biggest crowds, funny now as I look back on it because those in other congregations wanted a life too.

  Now, Sunday mornings are happy times anticipating anything. Sunday evenings haven't changed though as they remind me of AARRGGHH! work tomorrow.

  Happy Sunday everyone!! ( John in a good mood cause it's early still )

  The vote is in: SCIENCE vs RELIGION......who won?

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  history has demonstrated:.

  religion is following orders by implicitly trusting someone or something.. science asks questions.. religion purports to answer questions.. science seeks to disprove its own conclusions.. religion seeks to reinforce its own dogma.. science is error-correction toward adjusting for realities as they unfold.. religion internalizes against reality by mocking up a substitute.. science is the most recent development of the human mind.

  technology proves science to be successful in advancing human progress.. religion disdains human progress and waits for the end.

  My open mind won't allow either to win for now.

  I am, however, facinated by those who have concluded "victory" on either side. This board is full of intellectual "gunslingers" on either side of the issue which for those of us who yell out, "draw " creates, or is that evolves into, more questions, (pun, intended)

  Maybe I too will one day be able to stop asking, how and why? and claim a victor. I first have to make sure I'm winning this argument not because I'm better at arguing but absolute in that I AM right. Sorry, folks, I'm not even close...

  the lead article on the watchtower home page is about gay marriage and how to make it acceptable to jehovah: http://www.watchtower.org.

  but unfortunately, they still aren't handing out tickets to the corporate jet.

  ah well, "glass half-full" i suppose... .

  What Religion Are You?

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know a lot of posters are not religious and others feel no need to attend a church.

  but, for those that do attend somewhere, i was curious as to what type of church they chose after leaving the jws and what attracted them to that particular church or religion?

  if you were not raised as a jw, did you return to the church you were raised in?

  I belong to the Church of uncertainty at the moment, but the Church of never say never has caught my interest.

  That's what's great about this board, all the creation and evolution topics to expose my once closed mind to.

  I guess my Religion is a Evolution in progress..
