ok people, it's time to put your years of bible training, gag gag, into use......write your own gospel that you would love to have seen included in the bible cannon.

whether in jest or in a serious tone, let's have at it.

about time for a rewrite me thinks.. .

The most interesting movie I've seen in ages...

i just watched a movie, that although i thought might be a lemon in the beginning turned out to be one of the most interesting movies i've ever seen.

it's called a man from earth, which focuses around a 14,000 year old man divulging to his university co-workers/friends, at his goodbye party, that he is in fact, 14,000 years old.

alot of religious debate in the movie and fascinating conversation.

probably, some stored up fear coming out of your subconscious.

Anyone see Criss Angel walk on water last night on A&E?

ok, i'm not a person who takes what i see on tv as "real" but that was pretty darn mind blowing.

the guy walked on the hoover dam lake, people were coming into the water, checking out the water underneath him to make sure he wasn't walking on something and it appeared he was not.

holy crap, i watched in complete disbelieve yet thinking, how could you pull that off as an illusion?

Wouldn't it be cool if you could make someone see your perspective?
by sweetstuff in
1. jw
2. friends
what i mean by that is this..i had a recent convo with my mom who insisted we had a good upbringing as jw's, my siblings and i and how hurt she is that one sibling in particular blamed the religion during a convo for his mental health issues and addiction.

i tried to explain to her that while i don't blame everything in my life on the "religion" or how they chose to raise us in it, she doesn't get how badly it effected her kids, that she didn't get raised as one and cannot fathom the emotional baggage that comes along with marching into your first years of school as a jw.

you know what i am talking about, the isolation, teasing and sheer torture alot of us suffered due to what we could not celebrate, engage in and participate in.

Would you care for your elderly JW parents in time of medical need?
by sweetstuff in
1. jw
2. friends
this thought came to me as result of another thread on healthcare.

alot of people consider caring for their elderly parents to be a burden, mentally, physically and economically.

so my question is this, add into that the emotional upheaval of being shunned or semi shunned by your parental units due to their faith in "jehovah's organization" (i physically gag when i even type that, lol) would you turn your back on them and said, payback is a bitch isn't it?
