This story just made me so mad!
by Sad emo ini heard it on the radio last night.
i was going to post it on the other 'should marijuana/cannabis be legalised' thread - but since this case involved alcohol as well, you can't be sure which 'drug' if either was a contributor to this sicko's actions.. i'm not going to post the full story here as some may find the details distressing.
it basically involved a guy who had been smoking weed and drinking who denied a dying woman any dignity in her final hours.

How Would You Handle Your Daughter Dating A Different Ethnic Person?
by minimus ini know of someone who's daughter is dating a young man from the bahamas.
the girl is 20 and he's 24 and was already married to an australian woman 10 years older than him.
he has no use for his crack addicted mother and he tolerates his younger sister that seems to be on the same course as her mommy.

by still_in74 inoompa said: still_in74 you have so much passion for truth at climax study that i demand that you post your observations post bookstudy every week!
so when i comment i can say "oh yes, the issue of government was a burning issue of the day because it says so right here in the paragraph, so thats what this prophecy in revelation means!).
there's what the falling star means !

"(2) That they claim the sole right to interpret the Scriptures, and that therefore they alone know what the people should believe; and by this means they have kept the people in ignorance of the Bible, and now in this time of increased knowledge and much reading, when the people might read and understand, these self-constituted “successors to the apostles” discourage the people from reading the Bible andBible literature,..."
are they still talking about the clergy or THEMSELVES???..
why is it different when it's them doing it?? oh yeah i forgot ...cause they're the good guys. -

younglove i totally agree. so many times i asked myself .....are these people psycologists, are they doctors, counselors....they write about things they have no idea about.
answer the WT would never give:
why do i cut myself?
you may have psychological issues which is aggravated by the fact that you're in a cult.
i don't think they are the root of all problems but they certainly don't make things better..most times. -

which one of you here can't wait until the new WT, awake, KM, new book or brochure arrives and devour it. whereas before you couldn't be bothered?
i feel like beyond that first wave of excitement (however long it is for individul JWs) the interest wears out. then you don't really read with interest or critical thinking anymore since from you started studying you've been coaxed to not show your independent view but have that of the watchtower.
... before you know it we don't read things critically anymore, don't read them almost at all and just stay because we think we should but have a total lack of interest, we just regurgitate what we heard........
(a respected elder i knew said during one of his sunday talks "when you come to the meetings how much new stuff do you learn? it's basically the same 3 or 4 things said over and over again"......TRUE!!!! his point was it's the way we look at those couple of things from a different perspective that shows true studying and leads to deep understanding....... *disgusted grimace on face*) -

Well, I'm a dad for the first time all over again
by RisingEagle inwhen i found this site i considered myself a fader with family still in the cult.
i thought that i should limit personal information so that any lurking scumbag wts reps couldn't track me and jeopardize the relationships i walk on eggshells to maintain with my family.
but something happened last night that caused me to suddenly not give a rats anal orifice what jw's think.. i got called 'daddy'.. my wife and i went through the court system in the early 90's to get her 2nd cousin who was 11 at the time, out of protective services (which was a group home for abused children).

Latest Call to the Watchtower...
by deaconbluez inhttp://download.yousendit.com/e2916bb317a77989.
anyway, i've found that i can't bring myself to press them when they are so nice and respectful.
and i think the letter writing thing is just a way to delay the process..

Does God love you?
by nvrgnbk ininteresting read.. .
god hates you; but god is hungry and needs you to help him eat your soul.
he chuckles to himself that he cannot only suck out your life and being, but he can make you believe the lie as well.

from reading the replies i get the impression that atheists can either be people who simply don't believe or who don't believe because of emotional baggage. they knew god and now are angry at him and 'forbid' themselves to believe.
are there several categories for atheists just like their are different types of christians, muslims,...?
