but i find that at times i feel like i've got a lot to offer -- at work, with my kids, here on jwd.
even on stage.
and other times, i feel like "what have i got to say that everybody else doesn't already think?
Yeah, I know what you're saying. I feel that way a lot too. Maybe sometimes other people's posts sound alot smarter so that makes a person feel dumber about his own opinions. I almost know what I am trying to say here...
Good to know I'm not the only one...
so, as many of you know, i wrote a letter three months ago and told my family the goods about this cult... i think i was kind enough yet firm enought to get my point across-let's hope so as i'm not exactly ernest hemmingway when it comes to writing.
here's the best part to come of it.
not one of my letters was ever given to the elders; apparently i'm not going to be disfellowshipped for apostacy-which honestly i could give a big rat's ass less about that one, and best of all, the letter has made it even to people that i didn't even send it to which means it's being passed around.
To use a quote from the dubs "Keep fighting the fine fight for the fine faith" (it was the title of either an assembly or convention years ago can't remember which). The irony of course is, yours is based on fact, keep it up!

we all know there is no mention of cats in the bible...not one....but another thing that's weird is that there is no reference to any people in the old testament taking their kids down to the beach to make sandcastles and stuff...why?
There isn't any reference to Jesus when he was in his teens going through puberty with raging hormones. The gospels only cover when he was about 12 and then pick up when he was a full grown adult. Did he ever get horny going through "the bloom of youth"?
That's in the 'un-cut' version of the bible. We haven't received a bright enough light to read that one yet
take this very in depth test!~!~!!!!!.

would you date another faith?by margot carmichael lester youve just met someone amazing cute, cool, and funny but also of a different faith.
I scored a nine. I'd have to be madly in love with the person to begin with. It would depend on what their faith is too, a cult that demands too much of their time and affects my life too much, no way!

The bible dosen't mention anything about cars either. Mmmm, wonder where that leaves the dubs when they go out in field service?
i read this article in the paper on the train to work this morning (helped to keep me eyes of ladies feet and ankles) and was amazed as i never knew this before.. http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=50123&in_page_id=34.
certain species can actually get pregnant and give birth without any make interaction.
if this doesnt support evolution as the most scientifically accountable theory of our existence what does?!.
My apologies Sirona. I didn't word that last sentence too well. I was making an argument against the argument, not you.
recall that karl marx coined his much-used expression, religion "is the opium of the people.
how would you complete the expression?
...then the wts is ....
Ned Flanders on speed!

I don't agree. Creationists would simply say that God is so clever that he created creatures who don't need any sexual intercourse to procreate.
So why just a few species and not all of them? If we were created, why do some species still seem to be evolving? I got an example here of the Cane Toad
http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200602/s1572637.htm
They were introduced in Australia in North Queensland more than 70 years ago. They quickly multiplied and spread across Queensland then into the Northern Territory, they are a pest because they are poisonous right throughout their life cycle and are killing off a lot of native species. They are also able to breed quicker and much more quickly than our native frog. They are evolving in the NT as we speak, developing longer legs to enable them to move faster. From them there are other examples of evolution. The crows in Queensland have learned that if they flip the cane toad on its back and eat it from its belly out they avoid the poison glands which are located on their back. Several species of snakes and lizards are developing smaller mouths, making it harder for them to eat the toads.
There are plenty of other examples of evolution happening right now if you look.
i have heard on this discussion board numerous rules that apply to upcoming a$$emblies.
some are designed to stop people from meeting the opposite sex; others, to make sure everyone is always ready to recruit new members into the scam.
i heard that some km inserts have been urging those whose congregation has cleaning assignments to sit in the section that they are assigned to clean.
I am shocked that anyone would question their protocol on this type of thing. When someone says to call 911, especially the appointed medical person, they should call 911.
Its beyond comprehension how an ego can be allowed to get in the way of an issue as important as someone's life. Did they think allowing a sister to call for an ambulance would reduce their moral stance with the paramedics? Were they worried about the WTS being stuck with the bill? Imagine being that boy's parents and hearing of this...
