  You all need to go to a Walmart and just hang out in the parking lot and observe the people going in. Since I am forced to go there to shop I see it on a weekly basis. My eyes bleed.

  You will see some fugly people. Both men and women who are together with some of the fugliest kids you have ever seen. (I know, everyone thinks *their* kids are the cutiest ever. NOT)

  Anyway, you have to wonder, why in the name of god would he or she EVER get naked with *that*? Seriously.

  Some people are so unbelieveably ugly it is just a wonder anyone would. And, they make no effort to clean themselves up in any way, shape or form.

  Yet, there seems to be mate out there for everyone based upon my observation. No matter how ugly you are.

  Disfellowshipped People Are A Bad Lot

  by garyneal in

  2. friends

  a week prior to my wife being baptized she and i discussed the reasons why people are disfellowshipped.

  she says that people are disfellowshipped because they simply want to live their lives the way they want to and no longer submit to god's will.

  in other words, they want to do something that is immoral and goes against bible principles.

  Hi babygirl! I hope you are OK.

  The addiction thing affected my dad so it bugs me that they use this as a way to *judge* people and kick them out and when they are down.

  Using the language of "submitting to God's Will" and *doing something that goes against bible principals* also is ridiculous.

  Simple programming that can be looked at with a clear head by us, now, yet when you try to point it out to a JW, they act like you are Satan.

  ERRR.

  Smoking.

  People are routinely DFd for smoking. My Dad for instance. He wanted to be DFd; he went outside the KH, lit one up and waited for someone to see him. However, how is taking tobacco (a natural growing plant, paper, and chemicals) and lighting it immoral and going against Bible Principles? How is this not submitting to God's Will?

  Seriously, this is one of the most Fucked up reasons to DF someone.

  Getting Drunk.

  Again, wine has been around forever. At least as long as grapes have been harvested and someone figured out that the grape juice that they thought went bad was really, really good.

  So, you drink too much fermented grape juice and you get tipsy.

  Suddenly you are not *Submitting to God's Will*.

  Again, I gotta say, this is too fucked up for words.

  If someone is a raging alcoholic, they need help not being kicked out from their support network of friends and family. Make sense?

  Only the Cult of Watchtower would kick someone with an addiction and say "You swarmy bastard, you drink, get out. You might....do something we don't like. Oh, and like all those bible characters who got drunk, you're not submitting to God's Will. You're DFd."

  my politics boil down to two simple things:.

  1. i'm fiscally conservative.

  because the public wanted them, yet are not willing to pay for them through higher taxes.

  ladies, ever get annoyed when someone, usually a man, looks at your chest and not at your face when speaking?

  this video gives you a way to solve that age old dilemma.

  this might not be work appropriate.. .

  The work boob starers are the worst. You look down wondering if you dropped something, realize you didn't, wait for them to look at your face and realize they still won't.

  Some men just need those boob things we can stick to our foreheads.

  The surface has to be scratched to see the ugly underbelly. They have ignored and spent like Drunken Socialites. Congress that is. For decades they have acted like the money they receive in taxes will just keep coming and then they started borrowing from various other areas to pay for various projects.

  Companies that do this end up in bankuptcy. They end up with pension plans that are empty.

  It is happening before our eyes with Social Security and Medicare.

  The city I live in is cutting services because, by law, they have to meet their budget. They have X number of dollars coming in and they have Y number of expenses. They announced that A, B and C will be cut. They do not want to raise taxes. They did not cut fire or police. Safety and security come first. Road fixing and public works are going to suck for a while.

  That is how a city, state and county and country should be.

  If someone wants a monument, let them get Private funds donated and build it. No tax dollars.

  Oh, and yes, I will pay for Police, Fire, Roads, Military, Schools, Basic Welfare, and a host of other *Services* that Liberals love to say Libertarians won't pay for.

  I don't want to pay for tunnels for Desert Turtles and giving money to idiots to build monuments to Congressmen. Who are alive and in Congress still.

  That type of waste has got to stop.

  Social Security, Medicare and Schools are each seperate issues that require detailed answers.

  Simplistic answer is not raising taxes and no one wants to pay for it.

  You know that. Especially if you call yourself a fiscal conservative.

  Here is a link to a 1997 report on Social Security:

  http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=17582

  Medicare has a separate set of issues that all go back to Congress.

  Each President has dirty hands because they signed bills that Congress put through allowing them to raid the funds from Social Security and Medicare.

  You know all this.

  Continuing to raise taxes is simply not the answer.

  We all know services will have to be cut. What services? Do we need to have a tunnel for Deer and Turtles in the desert?

  When someone says it is only $10 million, that is $10 million that could go to SS or Medicare.

  Or the fire department or the Police or schools.

  That is how the country got fuc&ked up. Ear marks. Stop the f-ing ear marks for stupid shit no one needs.

  You want a tunnel for a desert turtle? Go dig it yourself.

  minimus 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?

  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?
