  So me, of all people, had a religious experience

  by sabastious in

  i was sitting in my garage, as i often do, to chill out and i actually ended up becoming angry.. so here i am, in my garage, kicking it on the stool for the drum set that is in there (i am a pianist/composer, not a drummer).

  i start to think about all the crazy stuff that transpires on this planet.

  we have all seen shows and heard stories or maybe even witnessed events that don't add up.

  You obviously haven't been around very long. If you knew me (I've been posting four years),

  Why do some people around here think seniority is the same as intelligence?

  Chill, man.

  edit: I know exactly what sabastious is describing. Reread this entire thread, post by post. Look at yourself and how you talk about and to those that support what we KNOW sabastious experienced.

  You just know. Yes, I realise that. The nineteen guys who took all those lives just knew they were right, too. Faith, like that, is what makes this world evil.

  A roaring current of change.... Is The Watchtower in the process of a major overhaul of their religion?

  a roaring current of change..... what is going on at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses?

  in the last couple of years unprecedented changes in policy, procedure, and doctrine have been coming forth in rapid fire sequence.

  this uninterrupted episode of new information is beginning to backfire for the rank and file witnesses.

  By suppressing your emotions you are constantly having to deal with their possible outbreak. Ironically that process takes more mental power than just taking the emotion out and dealing with it.

  You are absolutely correct, Sab.

  Oh shit, happyfying? Really? As in the verb to happyfy? That's just too funny. The cretins are even butchering the English language. Sounds a lot like happyfied horseshit.

  Methinks thou dost protest too much, journey-on. You seem quick to label those who propose an alternate perspective from yours as intolerant and pushy. Your post positively drips with negative emotion, and I have yet to meet anyone who drips negative emotion who is really happy. Yes, I do think you are irrational for what you believe as you must think I am irrational for what I believe. So, no insult intended. It's just an observation I have of you. All that remains is being civil toward one another and try to have an adult conversation, preferably using our brains.

  Watchtower 1999 10/1 p. 8 par. 13 Of course, the fact that Jehovah?s servants "weep" over the sorry state of world affairs does not preclude their being happy. On the contrary! They are actually the happiest group of people on earth.

  Oh geez, did they actually publish that?

  Since this was my emotional experience it is biologically impossible for you to make such a statement about it. This is a mystery to me therfore it is a mystery; a simple truth that you are choosing to ignore in the anove quote.

  Whatever you say, Sab. Nothing offensive intended. I have a way of suppressing my emotions so I don't always empathise with people who are more influenced by them than I am. Didn't mean to rain on your parade.

  The secret things men hate about being men

  these are hastily thought up facts and then some stereo-typical reasons, in response to sam's why men seldom get depressed thread.

  feel free to add ones that have been missed.. men:.

  have to shave everyday or they look like miami vice wannabe's.. have to register for the draft.. have to keep up that macho image for their buds.. have to pretend to love beer.. to them, size is an important issue.

  Perhaps not sooner7nc. It's just that judging by his picture, Shamus is not only an orangutan, he is also a very young organgutan, around the same age as this one:

  

  but, perhaps, it's an earlier picture that he's sentimental about.

  Seriously, I don't do babysitting well at all. And I do not do diapers.

  Nope. Shamus will just have to play with himself, which I am certain he does all the time. I've got some adult stuff that needs doing today.
