  I am having some reservations about Barbara Anderson

  by JWoods in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  recently, there was a very nice thread in which one of our posters apologized for having the temerity to challenge barbara anderson.. i thought it was very nice to see that they made up and put the personal stuff aside.. however, i felt the need to call it like i really feel it - i was very put off by the barbara anderson reply in which she plugged her new promotional meeting.

  it brought back memories of that horrid little affair from a couple of years back when she kept posting up "the greatest new thing about blood which will bring down the watchtower society is just around the corner -- and i could tell you but then i would have to kill you, etc."..

  just like another jehovah's witnesses prophecy about the coming of the lord in our time.. i am beginning to wonder if perhaps the siren song of self-promotion is getting a little too strong for real life.. ok. i said it.. james - and saying it was not the easiest thing that i have ever done.

  James, don't apologize for your opinions.

  The attitudes of ex-witnesses are just as closed minded as active witnesses.

  Study: Marijuana may not impair driving ability

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i agree that more studies are needed to nail this down for sure, but this study is quite impressive.. "the effects of alcohol on driver-controlled behavior in a driving simulator, phase i," dot-hs-806-414.

  marijuana may not impair driving ability at all.

  An Explanation of why TIME TRAVEL does not work

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  energy and matter are neither created nor destroyed.. consequently, the building blocks of existence are actually finite parts.. to create things in "tomorrow" which are new, something has to be dismantled to leave spare parts for tomorrow's new thing.. the old thing deteriorates, (dies/disintegrates) and the parts become available to make the new thing.. time travel requires going to a place where today's parts are available to be rearranged.. some of today's things persist as they are, of course.

  they only travel through time by persisting as they are.

  (mountains, for example.).

  Do You Personally Know Of Anyone That Committed Suicide?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  lately, i've come to find out that a more than a few people in the area had killed themselves.

  most of the people i know of were in their early twenties or forties.

  for those loved ones surviving them, it was mostly a shock!

  I have known of at least 3 JW's and 3 non-JW's that have killed themselves.

  One of my questions has always been 'What is it with the garage?' It seems that many who hang themselves do it in the garage.

  That being said, the last JW that I knew who committed suicide was just a good, good person. He was absolutely LOVED in the congregation. Why he did it is unknown. When I heard the news, I was completely shocked. It still bothers me when I think about it. He had plans that extended out for a couple of years and was looking forward to accomplishing those plans. He was looking forward to his vacation, etc.

  WHY? WHY? WHY?

  You know, I see the same homeless people every once in a while, and I ask myself how these people, who have nothing except a bag full of cans, keep living. How do they keep from killing themselves, since they have nothing?

  Is it because they are at the bottom, and there is nowhere to go except up? Is it that they are so mentally out of it, that they are not really aware of their plight? Is it because the stresses in their life consist of three things: getting food, finding shelter, and finding clothing? Is it because they like it that way?

  I don't know, however, there is something that I do know: If you are thinking about ending it all, please don't do it. You will cause so much pain that will extend with far reaching tentacles that will affect people that you don't even know.

  As long as you are breathing, there is hope.

  I was also a Catholic.

  I knew of MANY who should have been.

  So anyone who thinks the WTS is only after the $$$, have never been thru an organization who REALLY is after the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

  yeah so the memorial is getting closer.. and even though my mum knows i am not attending the meetings, she keeps staying i should at least attend the memorial.... coz it's like special.. no idea how to get myself out of it.

  everytime she brings up the topic over the phone, i just mumble and say stuff like, yeah but i finish work late... i dunno where the kh is out here etc etc.

  i don't know why jws treat the memorial like it's christmas.

  OK I didn't leave or die but my computer died

  by Lady Lee in

  2. friends

  i got home from a week out of town only to return home to find my computer wouldn't work.

  about a month ago my monitor stopped working so i went out and bought a new monitor.

  the new monitor wouldn't fit on my desk (old desk had a drop shelf for the monitor which wouldn't work with the new lcd monitor) so i went out and bought a new desk.

  My hard drive crashed on Friday, and I paid $160 for a new one.

  Got it back on Saturday, without my programs, of course, but now I know how a heroine addict feels like without their fix.
