Some good advice, one and all... I'm leaning on the telling them I don't want to be involved thingy.

My lesbian neighbors are driving me nuts!
by dawg inok my gay friends, i'm going to pick on you a minute, but you know i love you all... .
me... liberal male, could care less what you do with your sex organs, i only care about what i do with mine...that said, i've several gay friends... none of which are monogamous.
so, my next door neighbors are lesbians, neither are the hate all males types like some i have known in the past... matter of fact, one loves sports and hangs out here watching football and other sports with me at least once a week.

So, why do you really hate the Roman Catholic Church?
by StAnn inthis is actually a serious question.. when i was a jw, i was taught all kinds of things about how horrible the rcc is.
i believed it.
many years after leaving the wts, i began looking into the rcc for myself and discovered that everything i had been told about the rcc by the wts was a lie.

Hate isn't a strong word when it comes to how I feel about the RCC... I hate that church and all others, as a matter of fact, I hate all current religions!
Religion destroys logic, you suspend logic because of faith which is what all religions peddle.
The RCC, is the biggest spreader of the Christian lie than any of the Christ based religions; it has damaged more critical thinking skills than any other Christian based religion. It is the mother of all Christianity, a form of religion that has been totally disproved on each and every level as to it's divinity.
Logic has been destroyed by all of man's religions, clearing the way for man to justify all sorts of nefarious deeds in the name of his silly man made gods. No different today with man's foolish religions as it was in the days of Nebuchadnezzar and all other ancient kings... false man made Gods being used to justify their heinous acts. Look at the history of the RCC if you need proof of this!
Religion itself is an obstacle to mankind's advancement. It teaches mankind to drop logic... the RCC defiles man's gift of logic like all other religions; I certainly hate that!
We are seeing the end of this nonsense... it won't be long before religion itself is on the fringe of society where it clearly belongs. they'll always be a few sheep to keep the flock afloat, but the majority of mankind wants facts, not make believe nonsense that has clearly been discredited. The human race will suspend disbelief only so far now that the facts are being clearly presented and the facts show that the Bible is nonsense.
I hate it when nonsense it presented as fact, by the RCC or any other faith. -

Trouble: One of the ladies has been screwing around while the other's at work or out of town... so she wants me to lie to the kinda butch one... problem is, I'm not a very good liar and I don't feel good about it.
I've covered her ass a time or two, it hurt my conscience especially given the fact that I don't even lie to the lovers I have...but to keep the neighborhood piece (pun intended)... well you know.
So Friday, she (the non-butch lesbian) leaves the bar tab unpaid, I had to pay it... then when I see her this AM, I tell her she owes me money, she had left the bar with a dude I figured was gay, but apparently not... I really didn't know what happened as far as when she left the bar, but butch lady was working out of town, and I didn't know the other liked her meat with her fish (she cheated with this dude).
So, butch lady found out about her cheating ways... listen folks, these two ladies beat each other up like two drunken sailors... its sucks living next door to that. What am I to do? I'm thinking about telling them to buzz off until they can both be true full and stop being violent. Hell, the butch one might be able to kick my ass! LOL! Should I tell them to leave me alone until they shape up, especially given the fact I don't want ti get involved? Should I call the police when they start their beatings? Damn, this is the first time I've had a neighbor I wished would move? what should I do? -

List of family/friends lost to the Watchtower cult? (suicides)
by hubert inafter reading about puternuts (ari) suicide, and also reading about sabine and js losing their daughter to this cult, i think it would be a fitting memorial, so to speak, to write a list of all the people we know who died because of this cult.
i also know that cruzanheart lost her dad to it, too.
i'm sure there are many here that can make a list of suicides brought on by the shunning/threatening policies of the watchtower cult.

1969, my Dad's old friend, dfed and sad over his wife's death... blew his chest off with a shotgun, used his toes to pull the trigger... did this over his wife's grave
Beautiful sister, 30 years old, was dfed and depressed... closed garage door and left the motor running.
I remember this sister going dancing with us, her name was Jill.. she was fun as hell to be around. I always wanted to "date" her... if you know what I mean. She was lovely in every way. God (if he exists) rest her soul. -

Anyone see Criss Angel walk on water last night on A&E?
by sweetstuff inok, i'm not a person who takes what i see on tv as "real" but that was pretty darn mind blowing.
the guy walked on the hoover dam lake, people were coming into the water, checking out the water underneath him to make sure he wasn't walking on something and it appeared he was not.
holy crap, i watched in complete disbelieve yet thinking, how could you pull that off as an illusion?

I also saw him pull a lady in half on a street corner... do you believe that really happened? Of course not!
I've been ghost hunting the last 6 years, I just wanted to see if there was anything behind it. I've never seen crap; this doesn't prove they don't exist but I've yet top see conclusive evidence, I believe in the "atomic theory" but I've never seen an atom, but my reasons for believing in this is because it has been proven as a working model, bombs have been made using this theory.
I bring up ghosts because I saw something on the Sci-fi channel that tweaked my fancy; it was a ghost looking over the edge of a rail on a lighthouse. Is it real? If no one is in on the hoax it is, but I can't confirm this. Makes one have to ask, (begs the question)as to why there's never been confirmed proof of a ghost if they are real? Why haven't I seen one when I can observe everything else in this life, or at least have proof other things I can't see are real (atoms). See ghost video below...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhS_pKSRNv4
Simple fact, man is atomically heavier than water... man will sink and not be able to walk on water. In short, don't believe what you see on TV, the girl he pulled apart was certainly in on that hoax. Your questions are similar to mine concerning ghosts, it's TV after all.
By the way, that ghost video scares the hell out of me real or not. -

I wrote this...
"doesn't mean that the method has to be harsh, it can be simply telling someone how you feel, that you feel an action is wrong".
And this...
"even though you can't control the actions of your grown sons, you have an obligation to tell them how you feel, to tell them the truth. you can be nice about it but you must speak".
And yet some of you still don't get it that I'm saying to use tact... that I understand that you can't control the lives of others.. You act as if I'm telling you HOW to confront your families... I'm clearly not, and anyone that can read can see that...
It's really simple what I'm saying... you have to say something, how you chose to do it is your business, but something must be said to change the behavior.. if not then the behavior will NOT change. What is the incentive for a change in behavior if you're accepting the behavior in the first place?
In this case, there's no need to jump down anyones throat, there's many ways to get a point across... but for those of you that say nothing, that's unacceptable, it really is. You are allowing those that follow you to suffer under the yoke of fools, and all you have to do is speak words? m People have died defending what's right and you won't speak?
Challenging says I have an "agenda" and she's right... its to stand up for what I know is right in hopes that minds my be persuaded to leave this awful cult; its to try and use my mind to get as many in my family to leave on their own accord because the facts have persuaded them! Are all of you on this site not desiring that same thing? And if you're not then why aren't you?
And to achieve this goal, you have to eventually speak your true thoughts... how else is it going to happen if we don't say something? And to think, I fight this same argument every week... I can't for the life of me understand this? -

And around and around we go... will Challenging ever get it, nobody knows?
You write..."Our firm but tactful stand has allowed our son to get out and our daughter to be mentally out" and yet think still that something you're saying is different than what I wrote.
I've honestly given up hope on folks like this. -
