started a firestorm on facebook
by mimimimi inlast friday i posted something supportive of gays on facebook - it was as follows: put this on your status if you know or love someone who is gay.
my wish is that people will understand that being gay is not a disease nor a choice- people who are gay are not looking for a cure but acceptance and equal rights... 93% won't copy and paste this.
will you make it your ...status for at least one hour?

(((Hugs))) DAN
This thread reminds me of my daily clientele and her actions (getting drunk, breaking up fam) is crystal clear she has serious hormonal problems and it makes her do "Manic" things.
You can't change her, you can only change yourself and it starts with you stopping drinking, don't look at it as a forever thing some people it may be a forever thing others handle alcohol in a normal fashion after they conquered their evil within. Alcohol simply makes you forget your problems, but in reality they will ONLY get worse!
Get a clear head and gut first so you can "See" clearly!

Why do people defend monsters?
by AK - Jeff inthe 'god' of the jw's is a god that will kill billions at armageddon.
the christian 'god' in general is a god that [according to their own holy book] already killed millions in the ot.
this 'god' ordered the slaughter of innocent virgins and children and old men and old women so that his people could take the land.

FEAR! They stay because of FEAR
When you mix in guilt and shame you have religion at it's best. At the end of the day it is about survival and the bethel workers and GB must eat and have a roof over their heads because it is all they know and can turn to. Same is true with any Religious ORG or independant churches.
What happens on a local level, happens on a regional level, happens on a national level, happens on a world level
Pick your level it is all relative.

I can relate to your thread, married, kids, WT lies, anger, etc.
I read yknot's comments and I have to agree with her/him (sorry yknot I am not on here enough to figure that your gender)
For me and my husband, he was never the spiritual head (according to WT rules) but I could not ask for a better husband and father. When I slowly dripped the information to him exposing the WT he did nothing, he could care less one way or the other.
This made me SO ANGRY! I was angry at the simple fact that he had this built in switch to turn on and off the WT bullsh$t and I didn't!!!
It took me about a year of anger to figure this all out but once it came into my level of awareness I created my own "switch"
Take the good leave the bad, if you take away the fear, guilt and shame your left with your little 5 yr old leaning next to you during the meeting asking how many pages is your bible? Mine has XXXX. or "Help me find the scripture"this is the good stuff. The bad stuff is actually repeating the crap about not going to college, or this is bad, that is bad, those people are bad because they are not witnesses. My husbands spiritual role is completely fulfilled simply driving us to the meetings....that's it!
When your kids get in school and make friends and they come over for a sleepover, you can see the difference in manners and speech with some of them. I do let worldly kids stay over and some you can't tell the difference from witness kids but there are some that will NEVER come back.
When your kids are ready to graduate high school, if your in the good graces your child will rake in the presents and money from the cong. party.
My point is get yourself to a level where you can mend the relationships with the most precious people in your life, Shut out all the NOISE and go inside yourself and meditate on what you want your family to look like 5 , 10, 15, 20 years from now. Hold those visions daily and don't worry about how you will get there remember WHY you want to get there.
Remember that ignorance is bliss and when you go to the hall it is just a bunch ignorant people, the real truth is NOT in their level of awareness YET, this is what you have to deal with.
I make it a game and throw simple comments right back people to catch them off guard to "Think" What I say would never be construed as an apostate comment, I am usually making a comment of something said at an assembly.
Just last week a die hard friend said her son was really sick maybe mono (he got a full scholarship to college but MUST reg. pioneer so the parents can keep status quo) and I said to her "A light bulb just went off, this is why they did the demonstration at the CA about higher education and it being Satan's snare" My comment gave her a puzzled look, like what does that have to do with mono, it will get her thinking that the full time school and full time pony dance put too much stress on him and his immune system weakened.
I have rattled on to much but peace for you is waiting.

How to Pray?
by brotherdan ini've been learning a bit about the early jews perspective on prayer and how it applied to jesus' model prayer in matthew 6. it's facinating to me.
sometimes i forget how important prayer is to the christian in more than just asking for things and thanking god for things.
i wanted to list a few perspectives the jews had on prayer and how we can benefit from it.. fist, they thought prayer should incorporate love and praise.

How does your congregation feel about the new song book?
by stuckinamovement ini stopped trying to sing the songs last meeting.
it felt like a combination of chanting and stepping on a cat.
it is terrible.
