Atheists - What is the meaning of life?

by Paralipomenon in

personally i am a agnostic with a complete rejection of a personal god.

without the concept of salvation my belief structure states that when i die, very likely that is it.

no amount of good or bad deeds will extend my life past the point of my death.

Is the world really getting worse?

i don't have to tell you how jw's use the line about how the world is just getting worse and it's a sign that we are in the end times.

what is your thought on the world?

is it really getting worse, or does every generation say that?

Erynw, you obviously didn't take differential bizzarometry in school.

would you sell out for 1million?

with the understanding that you would not create one like it or similar to it?.

along the same lines, i wonder how much money the wt has lost because of this site.

Is this true what I just read?

mr. comacho,.

you call people dumb but many of them have first hand knowledge about the jw religion.

and, they do control their followers...did you know that non-jw are considered goats?!?

I remember the term being used. I also remember an illustration in a WBTS publication with goats.

Is It Entrapment?

by minimus in

in columbus ohio it is not against thye law for a woman to sunbathe topless in a city park.

recently, a firefighter walked by a woman who was sunbathing topless and they began talking.

she playfully put her foot on his body and then asked him if he would show her his penis.

If she were just out there sunbathing and that guy just came along and whipped it out, then I think they'd have a case against him, but she did apparently flirt with him and ask him to show her his penis.

I think that during prostitution stings the decoy isn't allowed to outright ask for money in exchange for sex, the perpetrator has to initiate it. This seems to be along the lines of a prostitution decoy asking for money in exchange for a sexual favor first.

"The Great Armageddon Retirement Fund" - A Rant by Princess Daisy Boo

by Princess Daisy Boo in

first a bit of background (in case you are not familiar with my family history)... my mom is 68, my dad is 63. they run their own small business which involves my dad travelling all over the country and my mom running the office.

my dad is an insulin dependant diabetic and my mom suffers from chronic high blood pressure.

my only sibling is a sister who is 27 and lives in bethal.she is a housekeeper and her husband repairs the shoes there.. today i call my mom to say hi... the conversation goes something like this..... me: so when are you going back to work mom?.

Well I'm not much for commiseration, but I don't like when my topics get lost either. :)

I can say this much, I think that at least as far as this matter is concerned recognizing that they are victims of WTBS conditioning as a lot of us were too is a good start. Too many people forget what it was like to be under the spell.

NEW CAR FOR BUBBLE

by south african beef in

bubble and i are off to choose a new car for her tomorrow.. we won't get it tomorrow as she wants the new '08 plate but we have to decide soon.. the choice is either a vw golf 1.6tsi match or a fiat grande punto 1.4dynamic sport - which shall we go for?.

the glof we would probably have to buy on personal contract hire but the punto we buy outright.

she has a punto now.. i know the golf has a good reputation for reliability but it's a bit dull!

As far as European cars I can think of, 30k US would get you a loaded Golf GTI, an Audi A3 with a few options, or maybe a stripped down BMW 3 series.

Two nuns, Sister Catherine and Sister Helen, are traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped at a traffic light.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little Dracula jumps onto the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.

"Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Catherine. "What shall we do?"

"Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the abomination," says Sister Helen.

Sister Catherine switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns. "What shall I do now?" she shouts.

"Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at the Vatican," says Sister Helen.

Sister Catherine turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.

"Now what?" shouts Sister Catherine?

"Show him your cross," says Sister Helen.

"Now you're talking," says Sister Catherine.

She opens the window and shouts, "Get the f*ck off the car!"

A new monk.....

by Snoozy in

a new monk arrives at the monastery.

he is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand.. he notices, however, that they are copying copies, not the original books.

so, the new monk goes to the head monk to ask him about this.

SacrificialLoon

Heh, that's pretty good. This reminds me of one...
