Dad and I signed up to take the C.O. out to dinner with us. He said that his wife COULD NOT make it and it would be good if we invited another person to go with us making it a foursome. We take him to an expensive French restaurant. After dinner he says he wants to order another plate to take home to his wife...WHAT? If we would have known that we wouldn't have invited the other person to go with us on HIS suggestion. Such an inconsiderate bastard he truly was. Here we were knowing most brothers just have him in their houses for a simple meal and we wanted to treat him like royalty and he pulls this crap. We called him Blinkie. He was a C.O. from Georgia. He blinked ALOT!

I am having a good time right now. If I die at Armaggedon so be it. I haven't been a wicked person in my opinion. I didn't go out to harm others etc. I am not out killing others. IF the witness teachings are true then we will all be killed by Jah. I don't want to be in paradise if the witnesses are correct. IT would be slavery.

Mammoths, Mastadons, Siber Tooth Tigers
by NewChapter inso, i've been thinking a lot lately about the chinks in my "spiritual armor" and my journey from jw to atheist.
i realize now it all started with a mastadon.
i visited one of my favorite places, the natural history museum, where i stared contemplatively at lucy.

Our Stories and Why They Matter
by Farkel instories are perhaps the most important thing we can contribute to others in our short life on planet earth.. mind you, i am not saying that stories are the most important things in our lives, because they are not.
the most important things in our lives are experiences, which are moment-by-moment things.
the best we can do with our own experiences is to tell stories about them, which will never convey the actual living of them.

You know I wrote a nice comeback. But I realize nothing is going to change you Simon. Let's forget it. I won't be bringing it up again. I just won't post anymore stories like Farkel has said. Let's move on.

Agreed Farkel. I tried to tell one of mine and got ridiculed as well. Even by a mod. That is really uncalled for when one is pouring their heart out.

1990-1999: mentioned 492 times.

LS, I don't want to see Armaggeddon. Why does God have to kill many people? I figure wicked people are those who molest children etc. Why am I wicked when I am living a good life, just not spirtually inclined?
