Why Religion?
by hillary_step ini have no issue with a person having a spiritual dimension, but i wonder why people have difficulty accepting that the religion that an individual makes up inside their head is no more or less worthy than the ones other people have made up in their heads.. why do people feel the need to have others tell them what to believe and how to think?
simplistic though this may sound, this is at the basis of all religion.
does religion scratch the itch of our insecurities?.

Do you still pray?
by Layla33 ini was wondering about this the other day before i went to sleep, out of habit and my spiritual beliefs now, i spoke to the spiritual realm above and asked for guidance and protection.. i remember my journey of leaving the jw "borg" (a new term i have picked up here - i like it!
) and at first i refused to pray at all, and then i wasn't sure i wanted to or not, and then i developed my own sense of the higher power above and spirituality and every night before i sleep, i feel blessed to have another day of life, to do it all again.
even on days when i am not having such a good day, i take time to ask the higher realm for strength and direction.

I think JWD may have to be my "Higher Power" by oompa
No, I command God -- my genie.

funny what can happen if they think you are an elder...true sex story
by oompa ini started to put this in the great thread here on weirdos in your hall which i have so enjoyed, but there was a bit more story to it.
there a pitiful little hunchback young man of about 25 that was soooooo introverted it was really sad.
so he calls my house to speak to my elder dad, and i answer the phone.....unfortunately, at 15, i sounded a lot like my dad, and as soon as i said "hello" he blurts out...."brother oompa, i just wanted you to know i have gotten rid of all my pornography, and am going to really try to work in harmony with my prayers to stop masturbating.

Ha-ha! I can't stop lol ...
Funny, but when the topic in MS meeting was about masturbation, no one among the elders would like to take the part. They always asked me to do it -- a single twenty-something.
That's all folks, good night! It's 3:30 am here; I'm already sleepy.

Can you count a bible study with a 2 year old?
by truthseeker inaccording to my friend, an elder said he could count 4 hours a month and a bible study if he talked about jehovah to his 2 year old son.. this would go some way to getting in his 10 hours a month as the elder said to my friend "the co won't look at anyone whose hours are less than 10.".
ridiculous eh?.

Sometimes you have to be poetic to get your message across.
Land Of The Mighty
Fondly dedicated to Pres. George W. Bush
at the height of the War on IraqTo whom does the land belong?
It belongs to the mighty and the strong.
From Egyptian Pharaohs to Chinese emperors,
From Roman gladiators to Spanish conquistadors –
A booming gong, a marching song –
The land belongs among the strong.To whom does the land belong?
It belongs to a brave and mighty throng.
From Nebuchadnezzar to Julius Caesar,
From Alexander the Great to Henry VIII –
A whipping thong, no right or wrong –
The land does belong to a mighty throng.Who does rule the earth?
It is ruled by the mighty and the learned.
From Hebrews to Jews, Pygmies to Aborigines,
Negroes to Eskimos, Indians to Palestinians –
Uprooted at birth, forced to hit the dirt –
The earth is ruled by the learned and the rude.Who does rule the world?
It is ruled by the lord of a mighty horde.
From the Pyramids to Parthenon, from Babylon
To Washington, from Rome to home –
A two-edged sword I can’t afford –
The world is ruled by a lord, great and shrewd.Alexander runs a-thunder on the soil over and over.
From food to abode, gold loot to tribute,
Silk route to spice root, cheap toil to dear oil –
Yet fraught with bows and arrows so brute –
The land is sought, the uncouth to soothe.
Why, Almighty, the land belongs to the mighty! -

Black Angels ?
by moomanchu ini thought of this topic when i was looking at the new memorial invitation.. jesus is pictured, as usual as a caucasian, and there are good reasons for him to be portrayed as such.. angels or other spirit beings however, are also portrayed as only caucasian in the ivory tower literature .. i don't remember seeing any other races portrayed as angels .i threw away all my litterature.. do you ?.
if i'm not wrong, the watchtower is a racist orginazation.. .
