Further along that line of being/playing Devil's Advocate:
If I can legally/morally/ethically end the life of child living/growing inside of me, why can't I be allowed to end my own life if I so choose?

62Do you feel that suicide is wrong?
by dandingus inminimus got me thinking with his thread about whether or not you know anyone that committed suicide.
i think it might be interesting to see what the opinions are.. what do you think?.
are there cases where it is understandable?

Being the Devil's Advocate
Your Body, Your Choice
Who cares who it hurts? It is your body, your choice. How can doing something for yourself, to your body, be anyone's business? It is your body?
My Right to Choose. If I want to end *my* life, why shouldn't I?

Fam'ly ambush led to reproach brought on JW brand name
by sd-7 inin the aftermath of the family intervention ambush, i got a phone call from my great uncle (never been a jw).
he told me he'd heard about my wife reading my e-mail and taking it to the elders (although she didn't actually show them the e-mail, just reported its contents).
apparently, my grandmother told him about it.

I am sorry for all the stuff you are going through. I wish my extended family had seen what yours has.
I love what you said:
But it's truly amazing that a 2,000-year-old book can cause this much trouble because somebody decided to go all Da Vinci Code on it back in 1879. I mean, at a certain point, you just have to step back and look at the absurdity of it all. I enjoy the Good Word as much as any Christian, but at some point, a long time ago, people just went off the deep end into extremism with it and took a lot of people along for the ride.

Errr, finally got my link to work.
Hey Nowman!! How are you?!
I have a neighbor guy who stares at my chest no matter what I am wearing. I do not wear low cut tops. I don't push out my boobs or wear a Miracle Bra. This guy is one of those Boob Guys. He simply won't look into your eyes.
I got this link from my JW aunt of all people! She said they would be good for out in FS!!

"When armageddon happens, I want to be able to SEE the people dying"
by jambon1 insaid to myself & others by a jw elder.. i always recall this as a sort of .
when this elder was pressed on the matter, he replied that it was because of all the years of laughing & sneering & mocking that he had put up with, quoting the scripture that goes along the lines of 'where is this promised presence of his'.. i realise now that this person is not loving.
and yet, i would hear similar sentiments from others such as 'just wait until the end' or 'i wonder if they'll be saying that when jesus comes with his big sword'.. even as a jw pioneer, the thought of such a thing happening to people repulsed me.

Interesting.
I am going to ask this to my Mom point blank next time I see her.
I want to look into her eyes to see her reaction.
Her reaction should be even more interesting.

Outlaw took the words off my keyboard.
Hang in there. And, as noted, at least your Dad is not in.
This made me laugh and it could have been me telling me of my last encounter with "my" mother:
My mom even suggested that demons might be on these websites.
JWs + the Internet + "Apostate" websites = SATAN!!!
Yeah, I've got horns too. I've tied ribbons on them. Turns my husband on.

Work Related: Am I correct for being angry?
by Elsewhere inmy manager expects (never directly ordered me), but expects me to have my work laptop booted up at home every evening after work, all weekend long and every holiday so i can monitor my email and promptly respond to emails.. .
am i wrong for being pissed off about this?.
the company i work for is always talking about their "work life balance" program for employees.

I believe you can be angry.
Can you tell your boss you won't deal with the issue and/or you won't turn on your computer or won't return the e-mail?
Only if you seriously want to collect unemployment.
Welcome to the internet age.
BTW, my employer expects it also. Between their Blackberry and laptop I am expected to answer the phone and/or e-mail on the toilet etc.
Do I like it?
Take a guess.
What's easier? Looking for a job right now?
Take a guess.
