Searching For JWs/Dr. Laura's Advice (cheating with two topics :P)
by bbdodger inoften, i find myself doing google searches for people who i went to kh with years and years ago.
i try to find clues of what they're up to, search out the ones who were "weak in their faith", and try to see if they are still hanging on, or have "fallen away from the truth".
i look for people my own age to find out what they're doing.

i searched for friends all the time. and still do. found a few through myspace,facebook-type websites and found someone through this site. it's nice to have contact with this person from my past who turns out to be an awesome person and also to find high school friends that i finally see as regular peeople not people to be avoided. thank goodness high school was 5 years ago and they don't remember how creepy and antisocial i was...:°)

Question about Sept. 11th
by pratt1 ini spoke to a friend of mine yesterday who is a active dub although his actions and decisions in most things would indicate that he is not a believer of the "troof".. we spoke about 9/11 and how horrific the event was for everyone.. one of the things we spoke about was how terrible it must be for the people who made the decision to jump out of the windows because of the intense fire, heat and smoke in the tower.. he commented that an elder in his hall mentioned that this act is still considered suicide and those persons would not be part of the resurrection.. how ridculous is that?
do they just make up the rules on a whim?.
does anyone know what the "offical postion" on this would be with the borg?.

That's just wrong.... i read a newspaper once that talked about japanese high school students killing themself after they received exam results not good enough to get into university. a few years later a professor at my college brought it up saying psychologically most of them don't actually decide ok i'm going to kill myself, they kind of just disassociate from their reality even for just a second...but that second is enough to jump out the nearest window. so imagine someone who has flames and smoke engulfing them? you know there is no other way out and you know you're already dead. it's reality. people were calling loved ones giving them their last goodbyes. i don' think most thought about it, it was just the only way out. if a pack of bears chase you towards a cliff are you going to run towards them and be ripped to shreds or jump off the cliff? i feel like even though it's impossible realistically to survive such a fall, it consists of more hope then walking straight into the danger on the other side. i'm really sad when i hear such comments. the lack of compassion and cold technical way of looking at things ...well from their cult's views anyway...is just sickening.

Out of the mouth of babes...
by sweetstuff inok, i am seriously seriously livid right now, yet so terribly proud of my seven year old.
my girls who are seven and nine are grieving their great grandmother on their father's side, lovely woman.
she was a witness.

i was still in high school on 18th street and 8th avenue. i had no cell phone at the time. I rushed home as soon as they let us out scared to death i would never see my mom's partner again.(he was a police officer at the world trade center) thank god when i opened the door he was there and so was my mom we all burst into tears. he lost 17 of his colleagues and friends. and lost himself as well because he turned to alcohol for comfort. he said at one point they were all running up to help people and remember they never thought the towers would crumble...but at one point his gut feeling was that if he didn't leave he would die and he just ran out. the tower fell few minutes later but he never forgave himself i think. i just want to say to the person who posted about the people starving in africa. i understand what you mean and appreciate it as i'm sure other people willl have on this thread. Reasons i appreciate it: we live our lives mostly desensitized to these images and to these people's torment. the statistic you show i.e. the number of people who died in the world trade center is the number of people who die every 2 hours in africa of starvation. By showing us something in a far off land that does not touch our own reality by relating it to something that hits close to home you raised our awareness of this as well....but i feel like you belittled the pain that was caused on this particular event by saying a cynic 'so what? happens every day' i have also realized living between both europe and the states that a lot of people think that american's pain can be disregarded because of their GOVERNMENT'S actions towards other nations. On this thread no one was talking about political issues. they were just sharing their experience of a most traumatic event. Were it spaniards recalling their train terrorist attacks or russians recalling the opera house attack by tchetchen terrorists, i think you would have withheld your comment. I am not american nor do i have american family so don't think i am biased for that reason. i just feel you made a good point but your delivery was hurtful.
