  by writetoknow in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  hitler, lenin, stalin, mao et al: .

  (the heart of this statement is: darwin put an end to the belief that the animal and vegetable species..were created by god....) .

  1856; d. 1939) sigmund freuds impact on 20th century thinking is almost too great to measure.

  So you claim "good works" to prove there is no God?

  No. "Good works" are simply part of the evolution of man, as is our culture, including religion, wars, and other bad works.

  that's my conclusion.

  they don't stand for anything anymore.

  they used to be known as "bible students" but not anymore.

  BTW, out of curiosity, I started to take the quiz, but there were a number of questions that were not applicable, such as the one about sponges, which I rarely use cuz I think they're nasty. I frequently toss them (in other peoples' homes, LOL!!), but prefer rags which I can bleach and re-use, not wasting so many resources.

  Someone I know thought it strange that I washed their sponges with bleach and put them in the dryer.

  who's obsessive?

  My life is from here on out a personal invitation to the "dust mites, staph, E-coli, salmonella, and other vermin who seek to infiltrate."

  Bring'em on. I've got bleach when I get in the mood . . .

  Reflection in the Mirror ...

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  mom used to laugh when i, as a little boy, would look into the mirror and ask my reflection, "why am i so uggily?

  " well, i should have felt some reassurance when auntie rose took me into her capacious arms and declared, "you're a cute little fart!".

  certainly the old dear was dotty as well as biased toward me - rightly so, i would imagine.

  I hate mirrors...spiteful creatures that they are!

  J

  Hilarious! But I feel the same way. I also hate looking at photos of myself. I'd like to say I am very unphotogenic, like I used to say, but it's just a polite euphemism for "ugly," and well, if I can't say something nice about myself, I best say nothing at all.

  Anyway, I bathe and change my clothes once in a while. And I do a decent housekeeping, when I'm paid to, that is.

  I wrote on the chalkboard in front of me, "You are good enough," which I might come to believe one day.

  when you were a witness, there must've been things that you really wanted to but couldn't because you were not able to.

  give us some examples, please..

  Do we have over 2000 lurkers a day?

  so i was bored and clicked on the little "big boards" thing at the bottom of the screen.

  you can get a lot of statistical information with lots of neat graphs there that're pretty interesting.

  for instance, here is 3 months of daily "unique" visitors to the site:.

  It is actually both curious and possibly disturbing to note. It make me wonder. Being paranoid is part of being an ex-jw, for many of us, though. I hope many of the visitors are not trouble-makers, but rather people learning the real truth about da troof. It's a nice thought.
