  What the C.O. said right there on the Platform

  by Uncertain in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  he started his talk before rev.bookstudy with all the gloom and doom news and then dropped the (to me) bombshell that he reads the news on line.

  yup, i could hear an intake of breath through the hall.

  i can't for the life of me remember what the rest of his talk was, although he used a box of crayolas as a prop.

  Paganism- Bonnie style

  by Hobo in

  2. beliefs

  since i posted recently about tolerance and acceptance, i've had requests to explain the way i feel/think.

  basically, this is the abridged version- .

  paganism is not a cut-and-dried kind of faith- i'm not really sure it's even a faith, more of a lifestyle.

  how do your minds work people??.

  the word 'cult'.

  This good news is being speard...by this site

  you know before this marvelous age of communication, you would say that i had to go looking for dirt on the society, but i was thinking about that.

  isolationizm was a great thing for the society, because no knew what was going on, the people who study and questioned were put out with no one ever to hear from them again, what were they to do?, take out an add in the local newspaper to be heard and have a fair hearing?

  but now people can compare and learn from their research and inspiration.

  Has your idea of how you want to be disposed of changed?

  by sinis in

  of course i'm talking about death.

  i know in the borg, since most people are cheap, or don't have money, there was always a push for cremation.

  i know my grandmother was cremated, as well as my father in law, and i think the issue was more for finances.

  my birthday is coming up in a month.

  i'm 35 and i'm so depressed about turning 36. i've heard people really get down when they were turning 25, 30, and other ages but non of my birthday's bothered me this much until now.

  turning 36 is so depressing and i think it's because here i am single again trying to now start my career, my credit, my whole life over.

  Posting Here: secretly or openly?

  by AllAlongTheWatchtower in

  1. social
  2. family

  just curious, how many of you have to hide the fact that you post here from family?

  i'm especially thinking of those with spouses who are in, while they themselves either never were, faded, dfed/daed, etc but if you are a child hiding it from parents, that applies too.

  if you are posting secretly, how secretive do you have to be?
