Hubert- So what? My parents are extremist JWs but that certainly doesn't affect how I go about doing things in my life. Why should Obama's father's religion be a factor? I read that he went to Christian schools while living in Indonesia a primarily Islamic country. Not that that is any better to me. I'd prefer to see an Agnostic/Athiest President but that'll never happen. As for the not saluting the flag (ONCE), I don't think that equates with being a bad leader. It's for show anyway.

Givers and Takers
by wanderlustguy ini had a teacher in jr. high in my advanced education class talk about givers and takers as a subject.
looking back, perhaps she was going through a rough patchmakes me wonder.. this morning i had one of those moments of realization, basically from reviewing recent events, and even more so because i was mentally rehashing some conversations with someone who means a lot to me.
it dawned on me the role she has come to play in one of the major events of her life, as well as who she became because of it.

I don't think anyone is 100% Giver or Taker. If so, I have no clue which one I am.. Which kind of freaks me out.. maybe that's how Takers feel..

If Hillary becomes president.......
by lavendar ini heard this question the other day, and it really started me thinking...... if hillary wins the election, how are all these arab nations and presidents going to relate to a woman president??
i mean women, in general, are looked down upon and have no authority in the arab world.
won't having a woman president put us in a dangerous position??

Atheists - What is the meaning of life?
by Paralipomenon inpersonally i am a agnostic with a complete rejection of a personal god.
without the concept of salvation my belief structure states that when i die, very likely that is it.
no amount of good or bad deeds will extend my life past the point of my death.

The purpose of life is survival of the species. That is our ultimate purpose as with all other life. It is the only roundabout form of immortality.

Own up time...
by Chalam inwell it looks like this site is a real melting pot, a broad spectrum of views and beliefs.
for sure there are many disaffected ex jws.
so in as few words as possible, preferably not more than one sentence, how would you describe yourself spiritually?

Secular Humanist/Agnostic* *I'm not sure I have "spirituality" in any religous sense of the word. I don't put any stock in a "spirit" world, but instead put stock in the 'human spirit'. I believe we (plants, animals, etc.) are all connected in a physical sense. We all basically came from the same basic components, just evolved differently and in that sense we are connected. As for some other-worldly realm.. nope, I don't believe in any of that.

What Is The Jehovah's Witness Religion To You?
by minimus into me, the witness religion is either a hardcore group of watchtower dogma believing "kool-aid" drinkers or a group of non-believing, mentally and spiritually lazy zombies who value their friendships and family over principle.. there are those in the middle who i believe are too fragile to even want to think about reality..

"Value their friendships and family over principle". That sounds a little backwards to me. Most JWs will set aside friendships and family in order to follow their "principle(s)".
