doesn't have to be for anyone around you, or have anything to do with jw world.

I had those my last few years as a JW. Very scary, but couldn't move or scream or anything. Was told it was demons. Once I left the wtbts I never had them again. Could be my age, I just grew out of it. But I think it was the relief of getting out of the wtbts.

My appeal was successful. Now what?
by noonehome infaders: why do we bother staying in?.
we cling to some false hope that people we love will accept us despite our not believing, even though its as much a fairytale as the dogmas based on untruths.. ive never been anything but a good friend and human being and would do anything for the people i love; i couldnt dream of shutting out someone i care about.
and its not like theyd revel in the idea of doing it either, yet its seen as not just the only choice, but also as undoubtedly the right thing to do.

I don't think all JWs are evil. I think most of them never think things through. They just follow the party line. Heck, many don't even know how to think. If a lightbulb goes on and they start to think, they wind up where you are right now.
Sorry about your lonely thanksgiving. I hope you feel better tomorrow. As for the JWs, the hell with them. Turn your back and walk away.

Yes, I think it would be a contest -- who gets bored first? People or god, or angelic choirs.
Very funny comments!
What about jesus betting bored? or pissed off? or is he a company man?

The Best of Times to be Alive - Progress in the Development of Cheaper Solar Cells
by fulltimestudent inif you have installed solar panels on your roof to generate electricity, you will already know that solar power holds a promise of cheaper electric power, without the pollution caused by burning carbon fuels.
one difficulty to date has been, that solar cells only work in day time, which means you have to be able to store the power.
now a new solar cell stores its own power.. a team at ohio state university led by professor yiying wu, and assisted by mingzhe yu, xiaodi ren, lu ma, yiying wu, has invented a solar battery:.

I'd like to see solar energy used more, but it's rather pricy to set up around here.

FuGK This Religion- Stop Ruining My Life!!!
by wallievase ini am sorry for the title but today just took the cake.
after not going to the meetings since august and trying to sort through this with my family, my wife today told me she wants to separate because of our differences over being a witness or not.. this is ridiculous.
so i said- how can you separate from me when the religion you whole heartedly believe says you can only separate for 3 reasons- abuse, willful non-support, or stopping her from her meeting attendance, etc.

Hey, Terry -- I think there's a book in this! Feel free to write it! I don't think a cute little four-eyed, snout-nosed, four-legged sweetie would have as much gravitas as an old published author like you!

My guess is, god gets bored.
Armageddon's over, the earth has been cleansed, only his sycophants have survived. All is perfect. After a millenium or three god gets bored. He sets up some damn loyalty test. Of course, not everyone passes the test. So, those who don't pass the test die. BUT, god has to do something about that so he looks good. Jesus says, "I did it last time. Someone else can go down to earth and die for these bozos." So some other angel does it, suddenly jesus isn't numero uno anymore. He gets pissed, throws a little revolt, becomes the new satan. Satan is saying, "I told you so but NOOOOO, you wouldn't listen to me. This is bullshit, but god gets away with it because he's all-powerful. But don't worry, he just takes it out on the bozos on earth. He isn't going to do anything to us."
