xjw_b12,
I wouldn't mind attending another church, if I could find one I was comfortable with, but then that would mean I'd have to believe in god, and then I'm back to where I started.
Actually, no. Check out the Unitarian Universalists. Theism is optional!

"Oh right. Like this is anything shocking or appalling or new. "
Check out Mark Morford's column on this subject.
Personally, I feel a little safer around the "body mod" types; makes me look perfectly normal and ordinary, so I can cut loose without provoking a defensive reaction.

whose boss told me yesterday, "have fun at your little hippie thing this weekend"
christendom church: what's wrong with this picture?
has anyone ever had any experiences with ghosts or that of the paranormal world ?.
we think that we have a ghost in our house, nothing major just does little things at times, was just wondering if anyone has ever had anything happen to them ?
or if you dont believe in ghosts, how do you explain what happens to people ?.
I have an "invisible friend" whose symbol is the peacock feather. We talk frequently (not out loud).
One night I went to visit a woman I'd been thinking of dating. My invisible friend asked, "Can I watch?"
"If you do," I said, "you have to be absolutely quiet and stay out of the way."
Well, as we were talking and snuggling on her couch, she looked at a vase across the room. "How did all my peacock feathers get turned to the wall?" she said. (She lives alone and has no pets, so there is nothing that could have disturbed the feathers in that way.) I took it as a pledge of my invisible friend's good behavior. GentlyFeral
we always say the week end are the nicest days of the week, cause most of us are off.
but other than that, what is your nicest day of the week and for what reason?
i always liked mondays and wednesdays and fridays because there were no meetings on these days.. how about for partying, drinking and having fun, which night did you rather?
I still like weekends best, because the only thing better than my job is not having to go to work.
I used to hate my job until we contracted with a certain new doctor. She's been rationalizing all kinds of outdated procedures in every area from admin to technical to billing, and detoxifying the years of emotional poison generated by a wildly dysfunctional manager -- who is now on indefinite leave!
So I love my job now and am actually beginning to think that "career" and "admin" might actually belong in the same sentence!
Anyhow, my favorite days are the ones the new doctor on duty -- Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. I get lots of work done and done well; we get to clown around a little; and she teaches me stuff.

my son just got a letter from my mother saying how glad she is that he didn't stay in the army.
i told them a month ago that he didn't go to iraq cause he's still in school.
i don't know how to do a link but i posted "phone call from my sister" on april 3rd.
Can't give you a real citation because I heard this in an assembly talk about 20 years ago. The speaker said:
Half of all the disfellowshipped are reinstated.
Half of those reinstated are eventually disfellowshipped again.
So, a net return rate of only 25%. Don't know if this is still true.

and if you do, it shouldn't be too difficult to convince us of that!
i mean, you accepted it as the truth, .
can you convince us that you do indeed have the "real" truth?
Spanner,
It seems to me that you have dedicated your life to that certain "truth" and believe in it with all your heart! How did you get there?

I've only read the first page -- love the Doug/Douglas pun, it's pretty damn subtle -- um, so I can only hope no one has posted my personal favorite:
Q: Who sleeps with cats?
A: Mrs. Katz.
so, i'm at the public library to pick up a book i had placed on hold.
while i'm there, i decide to check out a book for my daughter that she had been wanting to read.
i go to the children's section for 9 to 12 year olds.
Oldcrowwoman,
Usually they leave the magazines on the tables in the lounge areas of the hopital. When I see them I pick them up and dump the in the nearest garbage can!!
Me too; but I rip them up first, to prevent "recycling." GentlyFeral
how many of you, go to the occasional meeting?
i no longer believe any of the things i was raised to believe... but for some reason i still go to the occasional meeting and i even went to the special assembly last weekend (even though i got there after lunch).
i guess it will take a while to completely break away but i was wondering if anyone else is in this situation.
Disassociated 1995; haven't been inside a Kingdom Hall since 1994.
Never going back.
