here are two ethical posers:.
i. would you rather your children grow up to be successful or happy?
explain your answer.. ii.
Farkel, good thread.
First: Happy. Happiness,as someone once said, is the moral purpose of life--it is a barometer to measure how well one is doing
in the pursuit of life.
Second: Cheat. None of us, I truly believe, would be here if our ancestors hadn't cheated. I wouldn't be here in this great country
if my poor parent's hadn't cheated. I personally try very hard not to cheat or lie, but, sometimes.................
caught the very end of the commercial.
they were giving away a brochure called "science and creation".. i wanted to figure out which group was specifically behind the ad, but failed to remember the toll free number in full.. i know for sure that it was 1-800-???-dawn.
just curious to know who is advertising in my area..
I read RR's comments at "bible students.net". Just saying, is all.
Very interesting, Ray, very interesting.

i am new to the group.
i joined to get some feel, at least, for how i might improve my lifelong relationship with my jw wife.
i am lifelong roman catholic.
Alternator,
You seem like a very reasonable and calm individual to me, I'm glad you and your wife love each other and look out for each other.
"Your comments about a JW-nonJW relationship have me thinking that I have it better than most" (Alternator).
I say, continue to hold your spouse close and tight, make her want your love forever and I hope all will
end well.
It's good to have you here , let us know how things turn out.
i was riding to work yesterday when i observed a female driver who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.
this evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the finger.
'man, that guy is stupid,' i thought to myself.
I once waved off a female driver with the back of my hand as if to say,"go away,
you crazy nut!" What she did next was so funny I couldn't help but start laughing,and she
saw me laughing--she was so angry at me that she stuck her tongue out at me. I felt badly
for having annoyed her, I wanted to tell her she won that one.
I know she saw me laughing, I hope she got a laugh out of it as well.
Made my day, thank you, Mouthy!
then quit opening your wallet upside down, open your purse right side up, and sew up the holes in your pockets!!!!.

Don't let anybody haul your mattress away without your knowledge.
Don't forget what book you stashed your "MAD" money in.

we all know wt's view of "apostates"and disfellowshiped persons.
they grap from the old testament quotes that "god's people, isralites" stone to death the evil doers, even the unobedient children.
the first one to cast the stone was a close relative, parents, brothers, sisters.
Oh Homer,you said:
"mankind has advanced somewhat from
those times wo'uldn't you agree ?"
I'm sure you're aware of what is going on in the middle east with all those modern day religious fanatics, such as the Taliban, the Shiia's, Sunni's,Sikh's, et.,al. Religious fanatics are killing people in the name of God, even,or more so, their own relatives that supposedly break their religious and cultural more's. Yes, people would/will kill their brothers and sisters,even relatives, in the name of God. I'm so glad "the rule of law"exists in this country and most of the rest of the world.

please, don't go insane now.
of all the apocalypses on this site, the one youre about to read is probably the most mind-boggling of them all.
Elsewhere said:
" Finally, the Universe is totally and utterly empty. You won’t see any light or spot any planet -- in fact, you won’t even find the tiniest speck of dust. The Universe has sterilized itself. All there is left, is emptiness, and darkness"
I believe that that means that existence still exists, otherwise, dust, emptiness and darkness would not exist. "Nothing" could not exist in non-existence. I believe there is no "is" if existence does not exist, therefore, we wouldn't quite be back to where we were before the "big bang", I think. I tend to believe there was no "time" before the "big bang." Even "nothing" did not exist before existence.
So, how many zero's befrore we get to NO existence? LOL
shunning is certainly very bad.
it has a very serious personal, social, and psychological remifications.
regardless of one's age, it looks like alot of people are finding it hard to overcome its consequences.
