  In my immediate family which includes

  my parents and my 7 siblings (4 girls 3 boys) there is one boy and both parents active baptized Dubs.

  My oldest sister was 2 years old when my parents were sucked into the cult.

  Us children in order girl, girl, boy (me), girl, boy, boy, girl. My brother down from me is the one that is still delusional. Something that is interesting is my youngest brother had actually spent several years in the belly of the beast in Bethel NY. I have no idea what he did there ? I do know he is now in southern California and no longer a Dub.

  Why would God stop man from building a tower that reached into the "heavens" and yet let modern man reach even further with a space station and moon landings?

  The Tower of Babel was built to get "up" with God.

  The lunar missions and other lofty goals seem to be nothing more then "getting there first" and then trying to figure out what good it is.

  I'd say it's similar to climbing Mt. McKinley, after you reach the top you enjoy the view for a moment and they you go back home.

  "Nice view ! holy crap it's cold ! let's get out of here !"

  i would just like some opinions on something that seems strange to me.

  there is a man at my sons' school who comes every day to pick up his daughter.

  he has always been friendly with me, and i am friendly back, which is fine.

  I'd have to say you are being hit on

  If he tries this I'd say he is definitely hitting on you

  witnesses are supposed to be "exemplary" and not like the "world".

  yet some jws are pretty notorious.. did you know of any jws that did some real bad things?.

  i knew a pious witness who got caught twice trying to solicit prostitutes.

  Almost all I knew in my youth were arrogant, lying, assholes not worth me even trying to recall their names.
