i believe in reincarnation. i believe that we each have a karmic lesson to learn in this life, and when we have learned it, we move on to our next life. i don't think we come back as butterflies or flowers, but as people. i don't believe in heaven, hell or purgatory. i'm not afraid to die - i just don't want it to hurt. (just remember to make it look like an accident, heh...)

No one knows the DAY or the HOUR - have we misread this verse?
by truthseeker ini was just thinking the other day, about what jesus said concerning the end of the system of things.
he said that, "no one knows the day or the hour...but only the father.".
there are two units of measurement - day and hour.

hmm... 6/6/06 would be my guess...
i suspect it's confusing in order to confuse people... your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you, i always say...

i always wanted to join the girl scouts. i wanted to attend high school. i wanted to wear cute, hip clothes. i wanted to go to slumber parties. i wanted to date boys. i wanted to listen to rock music. i wanted to escape into fantasy but was told that Jehovah could read your thoughts. i wanted to explore my own body. i wanted to trick-or-treat. i wanted to celebrate christmas. i wanted valentines. i wanted to celebrate my birthday with a big pink cake with flowers all over it.

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama - I'd like to look in his eyes and finally get an answer to the question "will i ever be completely happy in my lifetime"?
Kurt Cobain - I'd convince him to leave that toxic idiot, Courtney Love, and run away with me to Tahiti.
Vincent Van Gogh - I'd like to ask him if he really saw the world that way because of lead poisoning, as many so-called experts say, or was he just being artistic...

Corporal punishment
by JustTickledPink inmy opinion is that jw's are into corporal punishment more than the general population.
maybe it's my imagination, maybe not.. do you remember being told "not to spare the rod" in disciplining children?
do you remember being that kid that got beat?.

p.s. when my sister was trying to recruit me a while back, i went with my son to a meeting one night. she told us what to wear, etc.... so worried about what people would think. they actually stationed men at the back of the hall, striking poses like bouncers and blocking the exit. my son kinda freaked, feeling like he couldn't just get up and leave if he wanted to.
anyway, the weird thing was the men and little boys all wearing three-piece suits, with vests. this one tiny kid, he couldn't have been more than four, walked by dressed in a tiny suit complete with vest tie and patent leather shoes and his hair plastered to his head with tons of goo, and wearing aviator glasses. my son leaned over to me and said sotto voce "well that's queer". i got a good chuckle outta that.
p.s. i was scandalized to see several young wives wearing low-cut dresses and heavy makeup. when i was in "the Truth" we had to be extremely modest and circumspect about our attire, etc. the young unmarried girls were typically drab, however... anyway, they all kept looking at us like we were from Mars. weirrrrd.....

that "spare the rod" scripture is a free pass for unlimited hitting, slapping and abuse cloaked in the guise of "loving discipline". even when i was getting hit i knew it wasn't right 'cause it felt so bad. i guess finding creative, insightful ways to teach your child right from wrong is too much work for some people ...
