  personally, i respect that everyone has choices to believe whatever they want to believe.

  i have no interest in joining another religion....what about you?.

  Nope. I'd say the only religion I even can even come close to relating to is Buddhism and that is because it doesn't require a belief in a deity.

  Why don't you try reading many different religious texts and not just the Bible? The world is open to you.

  Didn't read them this week but here are some fun facts about our galaxy I've compiled:

  8 th planet from the sun:

  Neptune

  Winds on Neptune reach up to 2100 kmh or 1305 mph.

  7 th planet from the sun:

  Uranus

  

  Summers on Uranus last 42 years.

  6 th planet from the sun:

  Saturn:

  

  There could be life on one of Saturn's moons. Ice geysers were discovered blasting out of the southern pole of Enceladus. Scientists aren't sure why but something keeps the water warm enough to not freeze. So it is highly likely that as with earth, where there is liquid water, there is also life.

  5 th planet from the sun:

  Jupiter

  

  The mass of Jupiter is 318 times the size of earth and 2.5 times the rest of the planets in our galaxy.

  4 th planet from the sun:

  Mars

  

  Mount Olympus on Mars is the largest mountain in the solar system at nearly 17 miles tall, three times the size of Mount Everest. Mars also has the deepest and longest canyon in the solar system, Valles Marinerus, reaching 2500 miles long and 4 miles deep.

  3 rd planet from the sun:

  Earth

  

  I had to search. What is there about our planet that we aren’t already well aware of? Maybe this is new.

  At a distance earth appears to be the brightest planet in our solar system because of the sunlight reflecting off the water.

  Also, the earth is the only planet in our solar system that we know of to still be geologically active.

  2 nd planet from the sun:

  Venus

  

  Looking for your next vacation destination? Why not try Venus? Venus was once thought to be earth’s twin. They thought that underneath the layer of the clouds that it was a tropical paradise. Well, they were wrong.

  The pressure on Venus is 92 times that of Earth. The temperature can reach 860 degrees Fahrenheit and it rains sulfuric acid.

  1 st planet from the sun:

  Mercury

  

  A year on Mercury lasts 88 of our days but a day on Mercury lasts 176 of our days.

  We’ve traveled a great distance. 4.5 billion km to be exact. Which is approximately 3 billion miles.

  Now we get to our destination. The sun! It’s like the king of planets man!

  

  The sun orbits around the center of the Milky Way. It takes 225,000,000 years to complete a full orbit. The sun is estimated to be about 3 billion years old or so. It’s in the middle of its life. You don’t wanna be on earth when it dies. It takes energy from the core of the sun 30,000 years to reach earth.

  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.

  i like her videos about self-injury and other mental and physical problems, that could happened to young people.... she say that she is an active jw and regularly visit the meetings and go to service.. http://www.youtube.com/user/idranktheseawater.

  but... what can you say about her wearing and hair style?.

  it's cool, but it's "non-spiritual" style, not for "true" jw, isn't it ?!

  I've been to Kingdom Halls in Sweden. They don't dress any different than in other countries. I did notice a couple brothers with beards. Shows they have different policies in different countries.

  I love the show Dexter. Its about a serial killer that only kills people that deserve it. Its currently running in its final season.

  I know a lot of people like Breaking Bad and Mad Men.

  Those aren't mindless though. Walking Dead is kind of a mindless show. Lots of zombie killing.

  If you are looking for comedy, I suggest watching through the Arrested Development series. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is always great for a laugh.

  i was an elder until march 2012 until i resigned.

  i then stopped going to meetings in october 2012 and have enjoyed 9 months of freedom that i have found to be jouful!

  i loved learning ttatt and sites like this and jwfacts.com have been excellent.. i told the elders that i needed a break and that they should not contact me unless it was a social visit and true to their word they have done that.

  They will say "it doesn't matter because if you die in this system faithful to Jehovah's organization, then you will be resurrected."

  Thanks for that NeverKnew!

  Just remember, we are supposed to look at the origin of things like holidays to know not to be involved with them but the less we know about the origin of our religion, the better.

  recently, we were challenged when we told someone that the wt itself says that it is not inspired, and we then were asked is that something you recently started to believe?.

  how many people just forget what the wt has said?

  well, read it and weep.. .

  The WT is no inspired prophet... but we should treat the WT like it is.
