Wow
As for the OP, absolutely true. Those who disagree need a history/economics lesson.
The truth does hurt. Those who cling to lies.
It's a terrible idea that is devastating the world. The fact that billionaires can exist is a disgrace for humanity.
so since we have not been to a meeting in 6 months or so, i decided to ask my daughter (on the way home from cheerleading practice - yeah i can't believe i am letting her engage in such a worldly activity lol) if she misses going to the kingdom hall.
she says sometimes because she can't see her friend - but she has made new friends so it doesn't bother her too much.
so i ask her, "well, what about learning about jehovah?
They are too young to be dealing with such issues at this age. One of my big beefs with the JW's. There was no reason in the world for children to hear the same complicated, scary, (boring), discussions that the adults did.
since i have stopped attending meetings i have realized that there are alot of good t.v.
shows that i have missed as well as channels that i would not watch because they would no doubt be in opposition to the scriptures(har har).. .
i have been watching the history channel and the discovery channel so much over the last few months that it is amazing.
Dexter is a great show! It took me about three episodes to get over the idea, and I was hooked.
I missed quite a bit of TV myself. I wasn't allowed to watch such stellar shows as "Dark Shadows", "The Flying Nun", or "Bewitched". When I had the chance, I wasn't that interested. I wonder why................
and it makes me sick.
i mean, i watch this big, black woman on youtube sing with this incredible voice and all i think is sadness cause i feel like she abuses her kids.
that's so awful.
Heehee

it's those who demand certainty who make a mockery of faith.. this talk will stick with you..
Hello Paul!!
Jgnat, I see no video?
in the movie annie hall, written by woody allen, as a young boy, alvy's mother, takes him to see a doctor as he appears to be dealing with some kind of depression.
when the doctor asks alvy what's up, alvy explains that he just found out the universe is expanding, everything will spread out and go cold and die, therefore nothing he does matters, so he is not going to do anything anymore.
most people might see this as a joke, but i think woody is trying to make a serious point.. the point here is about meaning.
Why is it that rabid believers are ALWAYS such pompous asses? Even if they agree that they don't know shite, they somehow feel that their fantasy world entitles them to condescend to those who don't buy in.
maybe born-ins are, because we converts made the choice whereas the born-ins did not.
or are the converts more likely to because of thought patterns developed outside the cult?
i'd like to know what you think..
Gojira, I'm shocked that your paraents allowed you to go to college. I'm surprised it was even on the table, or an option over the years. You must be under 40ish?
ok i started another thread and every one jumped on me because i was trying to take the theory of evolution out of the mix and most here seem to believe in it so i will just say it.
the theory of major evolution is crap!
the theory is falling apart.
Willful ignorance deserves no respect from anyone. Attempting to have your ignorance taught in school to indoctrinate the next generation into it - deserves annihilation.
Boom!!
