  Is It Me Or Are The Males of Today More Feminine and/or Nerdy Than Ever B4?

  when i turn on the tv, i see so many fem men that i'm realizing that a 'manly" man seems to be a relic of the past.. metrosexuals rule the world now.supersensitive males who are in touch with their feminine side are the norm.. the john waynes & burt reynolds have been replaced with ryan seacrest lookalikes.. ladies, do you find these metrosexuals all that attractive?

  ?.

  For those that enjoy a good debate. Please remember to separate people from their ideas; remember their humanity.

  the anonymity of the internet is both a blessing a curse for the information age, especially when it comes to debate.

  when a screen is put over the person, all that you are left with are ideas in a pure form; written word that constitutes a set of ideas, reasons and thoughts.

  anyone can sit and analyze and form a response at their leisure.

  It is true that people say things online they would not say in person. I try to be kind and tolerant of others online.

  Fallout 2014

  come 2014 even some dubs must start to ask wtf jesus has been doing for one hundred years, and there is a big potential for many to leave.. what more will the wt bull**it (writing) department come out with to keep the poor little drones feeding the hive, and maintaining the gb's rock-star life-style ?.

  the over-lapping generation tripe will be getting on for five years old by then, surely "noo lite" will shine that makes the big a even closer or somesuch ?.

  come on chaps, those poor saps in writing need your best ideas.

  The ECHO of broadcast emotions..........the empty chair where "god" sits

  by Terry in

  i spent sunday with a number of ex-jw's in a very pleasant get-together.

  we all discussed the usual things, of course.. one thing i always notice.

  how much of the "flavor" of god remains in one form or another.. with ex-jw's the distaste for religion is the strongest without necessarily including distaste for "belief".. religion is the package and god is the contents, you might say.. but-wait, there's more!.

  Deprogramming... yourself.

  by confliction in

  1. jw

  so, the title pretty much explains it.. .

  i've come to a pretty definite conclusion for myself as to where i stand, and how i feel about the existence of a deity- let alone the idea that wts has divine backing.. .

  my issue is that, being born in, i have lots of subconsciously ingrained phobias and behaviors burned in so deep, i constantly catch myself thinking and reatcting to things the "witness" way- things that don't apply to my life or the way i (want to) live my life anymore.. for example, because of the way i've been raised and indoctrinated, i've grown a serious aversion- you could say almost a literal fear- of worldy people; girls in particular.

  What the Watchtower needs to do to survive.

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  drop its teaching on paradise earth.. the primary issue facing the watchtower results from it's teaching that members will never die, but live forever on this earth in paradise.

  this teaching is cause of most of the doctrinal failures, and will be its eventual demise.. the promise of never dying is one of the foremost motivations for people that join the religion, and the message of living forever in paradise is compelling.

  however, it is also the watchtower's achilles heel, as it forces false predictions of the nearness of the end.
