Went to a JW "funeral" on Saturday
by Dorktacular inmy brother called me late on the 13th to let me know that a friend of ours - who is no longer a jw - called him and said that his dad was being flown by helicopter to the hospital because he collapsed at home and had no pulse.
they took my friend's dad off life support on valentine's day and he died.
well, i was debating whether or not to go to the funeral because i have no desire to hang around a bunch of jws or set foot in a kindumb hall again.

My brother called me late on the 13th to let me know that a friend of ours - who is no longer a JW - called him and said that his dad was being flown by helicopter to the hospital because he collapsed at home and had no pulse. They took my friend's dad off life support on Valentine's Day and he died. Well, I was debating whether or not to go to the funeral because I have no desire to hang around a bunch of JWs or set foot in a Kindumb Hall again. I went anyway because I knew the man and because my very loyal friend made the long trip to my mother's funeral 7 years ago when he didn't have two dimes to rub together and really couldn't afford the trip.
I've been married now for a little over three years. This was the first time my wife ever set foot in a Kingdom Hall. Let's just say that she was not impressed. The whole thing really sucked because it was more of a recruitment drive than it was a funeral. My wife said it was a lot like being suckered into going to somebody's house for dinner and then it turns into a sales pitch for Amway or some other multilevel marketing ploy. The guy giving the memorial serivce gave my friend hell from the platform about him not being a JW anymore and that if he wanted to make his dad proud he would "come back to the truth". His dad was one of the "anointed" so he will be watching from heaven so he better be a good JW if he wants his dad to be happy. I expected this behavior. My wife did not. There were a few "brothers" there that I haven't seen in years and they were all smiles and hugs until they figured out that I wasn't "in the truth" anymore, and they all slinked away like I smelled like a dirty diaper. Some of these people started talking to my wife about studying! She told them that after what she saw there, she wouldn't be interested in the least about learning any more about the JWs. She's already seen everything she needed to know.
My friend was largely ignored. If it wasn't for me and my brother and our wives being there, he would have had no one to talk to. Even his own brother didn't have more than two sentences to say to him while there. We stayed until my friend was ready to leave because we didn't want to leave him there alone. My wife is still shocked. A man dies, and his greiving family is told that it is a happy time, because the man has received his heavenly reward! Let's all sing happy songs and have a party! Everybody is partying while the greiving widow is seated in a corner by herself in a daze. I went to her and gave her my condolences as did my wife. The one bright spot of the whole time was that my friend's mom thanked my wife for comming even though she didn't know her husband. Other than that, it sucked. Another shining example of why not to become a Jehovah's Witness.

What is Heaven?
by Robert7 inbased on my research the last few months, i think i realize what heaven is.
this is not a new concept, and i'm sure many have come to this conclusion... .
thousands of years ago, the belief was an 'earth-centric' universe.

Heaven is a medium-well steak hot off the grill, a cold beer and a warm woman to bring it to me. The warm woman is also the desert afterwards.

I don't "belong" to any organization, I belong to me. But I will vote for or otherwise support any political organization that reflects my views. My political ideas tend to lean toward Libertarianism, but I've voted for democrat, republican and independants before.

What does Jehovah do?
by LouBelle inokay this is for current jws' - if there are lurkers, or for those that may not neccessarily believe in jehovah but believe that him and jesus are 2 different spirits.. we have jesus - creating the world and everything in it, then he's on earth healing, preaching.
he dies, gets resurrected and goes back to heaven.
throws satan and his demons outta heaven in 1914, rules the kingdom, checking sure that everything is going smoothly........ what is jehovah doing?

He's more of an imaginary friend than he is an all-powerful being. What else would you call an entity who nobody could see, hear, talk to or otherwise interact with? If He wants me to think otherwise, He's going to have to communicate a little better. Hell, if he would just say "Hi!", that would be great!

When, if ever, did you start caring about POLITICS?
by Open mind ini've said a few times on here that i'm 99% mentally free of jwism, or something similar.
but i think i may need to back that number down just a bit.. i now believe that this world is all we've got and that,collectively, it matters what we as a species do on this orb if we want to continue to spread our dna indefinitely.
(some would argue that human extinction would be a good thing, but i'm not in that camp.

I started caring about politics when I realized that I was working waaaay too hard just to support people who didn't feel like working. I was 20 years old busting my ass running my own business and working a night job to help out when the business wasn't doing too good, and then it came time to pay taxes. Why do I need to pay so much taxes? I figured it out! It was so my meth addict neighbors with two kids could work just long enough so they would still qualify for the maximum earned-income tax "credit" for them and their two kids. They would tell me how they got a $6,000 "tax refund". I knew they probably didn't earn $6,000 all year, much less paid $6,000 in taxes to get a refund. So, what it amounted to was that I was working extra hard so people who I didn't want to live next to me could use my money to afford to live there and trash up the neighborhood. That's when I started to care about politics, because politicians use MY money to buy votes from these people. They screw the hard working acheivment-oriented people of the world to support deadbeats who will vote for them. When you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on the support of Paul.
Don't get me wrong, I know there are people who are out there who need help, and I am a charitable person. If I personally know of someone who needs help and I can help, I do. But what I don't agree with is the government using it's power to take money from MY family to give to somebody else's family at the point of a gun. As a result, I have become very conservative fiscally. But, I am a social liberal. So, I really don't fit in with the Republicans, because, yes, they preach fiscal conservatism, but they really don't practice it. Also, their social platform doesn't represent my beliefs. I believe that the government should let me keep my money and only tax the citizens of this country to pay for essential government stuff, like roads and schools etc. I also believe that the government shouldn't get in between me and my God (or my lack of a belief in God), and that the government shouldn't make laws regarding what I want to drink, smoke, inhale, snort, inject in MY body. I also believe that the government shouldn't be able to force women to have a baby that they don't want. If abortion is really "wrong" or "immoral", then God will get your ass later if he sees fit. The government should stay out of it, that is unless all those people who protest abortions want to start adopting the thousands of unwanted kids that would result from those women not having access to those abortions. I also believe that the government shouldn't be able to tell two consenting adults what sort of behavior they can engage in or acts they can perform on each other in the privacy of their own home. I also believe that the government has no business telling me that I can't buy a beer on a Sunday or that my kids have to pray in school. In a nut shell, my take on morals is this: You should be free to do whatever you want, just as long as what you are doing isn't depriving someone else of their life, liberty, or property.
So, I guess that makes me a libertarian. I know that a libertarian candidate has a snowball's chances in hell of ever winning the presidency, so every four years I'm faced with a dilemma: Do I vote democrat and satify my liberal social tendencies or do I vote republican to satisfy my conservative fiscal ideas? Usually, I defaul to the fiscal side of things, because me paying more taxes has a more direct and immediate effect on me and my family than their feeble attempts at enforcing their severe morals on me. I'm scared what will happen if whoever we elect allows the Bush tax cuts to expire. The average family will have to pay an extra $1,500 a year in taxes. That's $1,500 we can all use to buy groceries, gas, a vacation, you name it. So, I'm still undecided about who to vote for in November. It's gonna take a lot of thought. But, I'm pretty sure I can't allow myself to vote for Hillary. She scares the hell out of me. Anyway, I think I typed enough. :)

pepper spray, the new lunch box school accessory
by nelly136 ini'm sitting in the layby waiting for my littlun to come out of schools back gate, it usually takes her a ten minute dawdle,the ten minutes comes and goes, five policemen walk across the road and up the path towards the school,still no sign of littlun,.
eventually at 3.52 my mobile phone rings, 'theres been a bit of a chemical leak, the children in the offending building have all been checked by paramedics, can you come and pick her up?'.
i drive past the news wagons parked along the road into the main car park which is swarming with police cars, police, and cameramen.

If you went to the school I went to as a kid, you needed pepper spray, a 9mm and a few hand grenades just to make it in the front door! But, seriously. I know how to cure the little bastard of his pepper spray fetish: Strap is goofy ass down to a table and spray a whole can in his face. He'll never want to see the stuff again. I've been hit with pepper spray before. It's not pleasant.
