  I remember summers walking to town barefoot. Trans Am's, Camaro's, Charger's, Nova's, Chevelle's, Mustang's & yes Vega's.

  I liked fast cars but just thru the Vega in.

  here is where i cry and feel pity for myself: .

  i'm terrible at keeping up with my friends.

  i don't call them often enough, or i make an effort in the beginning and then i let it slide.

  I'm bad it also. Basically because I'm part of a loner and pretty much keep to myself and very seldom rely on anyone else. Yet, I have had many good freinds over the years and when I do see them we reminisce. (hope I spelled that right)

  Currently the only freinds I have is family and work mates. Nothing outside the circle.

  ... (fill in the blank).

  tell us something you've always wanted to do, dreamed of doing, wish you could do, but have not (yet) done.

  tell us what your dreams are.

  I've always been a good artist. I wanted to work for Disney or a comic book publisher...but my stepfather pushed agriculture first.

  Purps, Where were you 2 months ago when I needed you. It is a feeling of solidarity when you finally make a stand and realize you're thru and that you are not where you are supposed to be. I still find it fulfilling coming here. I am happy that you are where you need to be in the scheme of things. Liberating isn't it? Be happy!

  JW TERMS I CAN'T STAND

  by str8?so is spaghetti..until you heat it up in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there are a few terms i cannot stand that jw's use and now i have to consciously convince myself not to use:.

  1. the truth - um nothing could be further from being accurate.

  2. worldly - as if they are 'other worldly' or 'supreme beings'.

  Where do atheists' morals come from?

  by dorayakii in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many theists believe that atheists have no morality at all.

  they argue that because atheists dont believe in the laws, limitations and boundaries that god has set up for us, there's nothing stopping them from becoming violent, lying thieving sociopaths.

  there have been many stories of people who have "found god" and changed their life, giving up drugs, repenting for past crimes.

  Why do many of us keep refering to IT as "THE TRUTH"?

  by ldrnomo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because that was the name the borg placed on it's religion, "the truth" it seems to be stuck with many of us.

  i am making a concious effort to not refer to it as "the truth".. it is not the truth, it is not the way, and it is definitley not the life!.

  so let's stop it people!.

  When somebody tells me something I expect it to be the truth but I am unable to call what th JW/WTBS says to be the truth. I no longer conside it as such. I consider it to be a delusion, a mirage, smoke and mirrors. I only take it as it is.

  Reality....What a Concept!
