idiots who scream you're wrong when you're not--road rage
by rebel8 in
1. social
2. relationships
besides my desire to hit 700 posts before noon (est) and a general base appeal for validation and attention (heee, hee), i would like to vent about something that just happened.. i was at an intersection with another vehicle.

he was in the left turn only lane (conveniently located on the left); i was in the lane very clearly marked as left or right turn only (conveniently located to the right of the other driver)...meaning i have the option of turning right or left, right?

so the light turns green and we both turn left.

1914 and 1935 running out of time?
by Blueblades in
1. jw

the teachings and practices of the society have changed greatly under five respective leaders.russell, (lets not forget barbour,he was the one who published the 1914 date in july 1877,in the book "three worlds,page 83.

" it has been a central teaching of the wt.society since then.

)rutherford,knorr,fred w.franz and now henschel.most wt.publications over 10 yrs.old are outdated and are no longer used.the beliefs that "prove"they are the only true religion are different from their beliefs of fifty yrs.ago.however,the truth will not and cannot change.do you think we can expect the dates 1914 and 1935 to change because of running out of time?i realize that in spite of the changes,they expect members to be in complete agreement with their teachings and to be in complete obedience to the organization.blueblades.

just wondering about some of the profile pics...i think its nice to know a bit about the person you want us see, or the person you don't want us to see.

so what were you thinking when the pic was taken, how long ago, and where were you?

mine was taken last month, just after my 36th birthday.

after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

following is the response of a jw to the information regarding the un/ngo status of the watchtower society.

Liberal JW's
by Dubby in

i admire the jw's who seem to be not too affected by what the society teaches.

for instance; my brother became a jw when he met his wife, who was born into the wts.

his wife and her family, always seemed to be very gregarious people, and enjoy life very much.
