I'm with Broken Promise, although this was sad and in reality very close to the truth about how older one's are treated, I've never heard of an open casket funeral like this? I don't think it is true but a story to teach a lesson and tug at the heart strings.

My kids are HILARIOUS! Especially when they don't know I am listening.
Me too. When my kids are together in another room and something really, really funny comes on or is said and I hear them from across the house.......cracks me up to tears!

Would you be shattered if your mate had sex with someone else? Why?
by goldensky inplease don't say, "yes, for obvious reasons".. it's not obvious to me..

If I were truly, truly in love with him and he did that just for the thrill of it, no obvious reason, then yes I'd be devastated. If your in a situation where there are big marital problems, I'd wonder why it took so long and might even encourage it!

How many here desire 'Reality' over the fantasy of eternal life?
by AK - Jeff inme.. wasting time believing in such silliness is like hoping one day to turn into mickey mouse.
why not accept life now, while you have it, and understand that like all others before you, you are going to die too.
you won't wake from that.

That would be the paradox Goldensky and Paul, wouldn't it? And we live in a paradoxical universe!

Once a cheater, always a cheater
by Quillsky inif you discover, while getting to know a potential partner, that they have cheated on a previous partner........ don't touch them.
run run run.. in my opinion a cheat remains a cheat.
opportunity is the variable.. please discuss..

Speaking of cheating, I'm so sad for Sandra Bullock if it's true her husband cheated on her. What an idiot! What's better than Sandra.
And I agree with OTWO, there are reasons why people cheat, and I don't think that someone will always cheat, not if your truly in love with someone. I would like to hope there are guys out there that are so in love with there wives that they wouldn't need anything else.

What would make someone believe that?
How about just the desire itself. Why have a desire to live at all if we weren't meant to live forever, somehow and in some form. You don't have to read a single thing to desire life, it doesn't have to be put into your head through any book or teaching. In fact maybe just the opposite, books and teachings through different sources teach us otherwise, that we will die. Now of course people have been dying for centurys but maybe only because we all have agree that we die. That's getting into Quantum Physics though and the power of belief. That teaches that if collectively as a race we started to agree otherwise, there's no reason why we couldn't heal ourselves and live for much longer maybe even forever.
Just my thoughts.

More "sex texting" on Facebook...Circuit Assembly
by dudeson inso my congregation just had their circuit assembly on 3/14.
recalling the thread about "facebook sex", i told a non-witness friend at work that after this assembly is over he would notice one of our mutual friends would either lower his time on fb or delete it altogether.
sure enough, come sunday night, his profile was gone.

I think it depends on where you live but I certainly think they are going to crack down hard on FB and other sites. Just yesterday on FB a jw friend of mine joined some "JW's for Memorial 2010" something like that and I kindly commented that I don't understand how jw's can use a forum like FB for their agenda and yet in the same breath condemn jw's who use it. She wrote back and said she didn't get it either and that in her sister's cong in Colorado, they said from the platform that if you were on FB you couldn't be a pioneer! I just told her it all sounded confusing and to be careful because the org is about to get stricter and if she wanted to be considered a "good jw" then she wouldn't be on FB.
So it may be somewhat sporatic as to what the "rules" are to FB and other sites, but as the years go by I'm sure they will make themselves VERY clear as to what is "ok" for them and the followers.
