So apparently I'm now a Secular Humanist
by Oubliette ini was doing some research on the subject of beliefs and belief systems when i came across an on-line survey/test that supposedly helps you determine which religion or philosophy is most like your current beliefs.
if you're curious, you can take the quiz here: belief system selector quizafter answering the 20 questions the results were spit out!

The Mark of The Wild Beast, How Does One Receive It? 666
by Este inthe first thing that needs to be determined is who or what is the wild beast ?......
estephan.
1and it stood still upon the sand of the sea.. and i saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns ten diadems, but upon its heads blasphemous names.2now the wild beast that i saw was like a leopard, but its feet were as those of a bear, and its mouth was as a lion's mouth.

What?! You've never been an Independent Fundamental Baptist! Therefore, you cannot possibly know the correct interpretation of scripture. All that nonsense about war. The true mark of the beast is a barcode that has been stamped or tattoed on your right hand or forehead (old light) a microchip containing your identity that has been inserted in your right hand. This is because the ancient language depicts 666 to mean the same thing as 'to prick.' As in to prick this microchip in your right hand or forehead.
By the way, the wild beast whose mark you will be receiving is R-O-N-A-L-D W-I-L-S-O-N R-E-A-G-A-N because all three of his names has 6 letters (old light, because the man has now been dead for years) is a supercomputer in Belgium known as the B.E.A.S.T. (Belgian Electronic Accounting
Surveillance Terminal) which will have a complete record of every man, woman, and child on the planet. The numbers 666 means three sets of 6 numbers that will make each and every person's identity. -

Wait a minute, I thought witnesses were not allowed to have their own websites defending their beliefs. Does the SLAVE approve of this?

I think the money system needs to be replaced. The only real benefactors now are the super rich, everyone else is just struggling now and falling behind. Something is going to give.

Congratulations! I hope you do find a better paying job. -- and look for one that has a pension.
In the states, your best bet is a government job if you need a pension. I will give this one to my dad, by the time he reaches retirement age he will have a pension from two jobs (the army and the prison system) plus his social security. All with no college degree to boot.
Me, I will be lucky if I have a decent sized 401k to live on and I have a BS in Engineering. My how times have changed.
At any rate, congrats on the degree, may it take you where you want to go.

How much do you pay for your internet service?
by JH ina few years ago, i had dial up internet with netrover, and cost about 18$ a month, unlimited use.
but it was slow.. then i had videotron here in quebec, low speed internet (cable) for about 29$ a month which was about 3 to 4 times faster than dial up.
now i upgraded it to high speed for about 45$ a month plus tax of course.

About $40 per month. Got to give this one to my wife as she negotiated that price for the service we got. Otherwise, we'd be paying $52 / month for the same service. We have Cox cable Internet and no cable tv, we tried the bundled plan but it ended up costing us nearly $200 / month for it for many channels we do not watch. Netflix and over the air TV is all we watch now.

It got to be hard being a JW today!!!!
by jam ini can understand why they think the end is near.. in the old days, one was proud to be a jw (well maybe.
not for you young ones) but for us that came in the 60,s.
and 70,s, we felt no shame in our game.

It certainly has to be hard for my wife. Trapped between two worlds. She goes out of her way to plan a wonderful birthday party for my oldest daughter. The first one that she plan in the four years since she decided she was 'done celebrating.' A lot happened for the both of us in the last four years. Yet, she still attends the meetings on Sundays, occassionally goes witnessing on Saturdays, and every once in a while wonders what her life should really be like and where she should fit in.
I share with her some similar struggles I have with Christianity so at least we have some common ground, but unlike her I can have a faith in God and celebrate the holidays and birthdays too.

The year 1948 is the year Jerusalem became a nation and the generation who witnessed it will by no means pass away until Christ returns.
The beast is Ronald Wilson Reagan because it was the number of his name which all three of his names have exactly 6 letters. (now old light)
The B.E.A.S.T. is a supercomputer in Belgium and no man may buy, sell, or trade unless he or she has its mark. This mark, by the way, is a barcode tattooed on you right hand or forehead with your social security number on it. (old light) microchip implanted in your skin on your right hand or forehead because 666 somehow means to prick your skin (new light correction).
