Before I rail on the Junction Guy and the saint... I love you both... but this time I actually can't beleive my eyes! Mitt Romney? Are you freaking kidding me? Vote for damn Mormon? Let me get this straight, you'd consider voting for a guy that can't tell how completely stupid the mormons are? Oh my God! You guys will go to any lenths to not vote for a democrat! Good freaking gracious. No humans should always think alike but to even consider voting for someone that believes Joe Smith actually receieved those golden tablets of his makes me almost explode in anger! Come on guys, we're talkikng about the our country! Haven't we already witnessed the effects of an administration chocked full of men totally incapiable of logic and reason? Isn't someone who's a Mormon already showing that they lack that ability? I still love you both, and even thought I don't think any party has all the goods... a freaking Mormon. Help me see why you think that's logical, please help me see.

Hawthorne and hypocrisy
by dawg ini remember reading hawthorne on my front proch as a young lad, the images he painted with words remeinded me of the witnesses.... not only his more popular stuff but his short stories, like "young goodman brown" and the like.
i remember one of the last passages in that story where it spoke of small graves dug silently-only the mother to witness the funeral, i think he was saying that the fornicator/adulter was hiding a pregancy rather than allow others to find out the "indescretion".
after i graduated from uga, i went to work for a firm in stoughton, mass.

Fear tactics of the of the Governing Body, the elders, and what John 9 says
by R.F. ini was reading this earlier and it reminded me so much of what jws go through with the tactics that the gb have in place for the congregation elders to enforce.. .
(john 9:18-41) .
.however, the jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and had gained sight, until they called the parents of the man that gained sight.

I'm a pagan, yet find solice in words from many inspirations... Including Jesus. I look for what I percieve as truth, and Jesus was right when he said the truth will set you free. Jesus was the ultimate pragamtist; he was just a little off mentally at times... I mean, he was pretty bold to say that he was the way to eternal life and to beleive that no one could approach the father sans going through him. Sure leaves a lot of people that see things differently little options.
If the best God could do is give us a book as unbelieveable as the Bible as a guide then punish us for not beleiveing it as anything other than a metaphor then he's one psycotic father. Talking snakes, two of every kind on a boat? Come on, there's 9 species of rattle snake in North America alone that exist only here on this continent. What, did those rattlers swim across the Atlantic without leaving any offspring anywhere else in the world? Then to say that the death of one man is some kind of cure all for all human death yet human suffering continues.. that alone makes me know a metaphor when i see it. Jesus hasn't done anything we all aren't destined to do, so I don't think his action was all that special.
Obviously God either doesn't exist, is a bastard, or could care less to allow his children suffer the ills we suffer here and do absolutly nothing. Look at birth defects, why wouldn't a creator at the bare minimum give us all health?
I think we are all part of the eternel energy, we are part of the eternal ourselves. Therfore we must do what is necessary to make this life as good as possible... The life you're living now is YOUR eternity; make it as good as possible for you and all those who surround you... that's the best you can do. So since I'm part of nature as are all of you, I believe we all are a reflection of that energy and owe it to each other to act in ways that will capitulate changes for the better.

After I graduated from UGA, I went to work for a firm in Stoughton, Mass. and I finally got to see Salam for the first time, actually touring the house of seven gables. I also went to Concord and toured the graves on "writers bluff" which included Hawthorne and many others.
I always knew that people hadn't cahnged and Hawthorne really brought this to my attention as much of his writings focused on hypocrisy.
DId you guys/gals have a favorite writer that made you think of similaries between the witnesses and other groups?
