Babylon has fallen...
by mikeflood incould you guys believe this über borg 'friend' ?.

My wife seems to become more aroused with herself when seeing the My Pillow Guy on TV. Is there possible JC involvement?

I like "MY PILLOW " bought it years ago for $109.00. Before BOGO free. What I don't get, he is now talking about his days as a CRACK HEAD.
What ! I don't think I would do that. Maybe that will turn her off, him being a former crack smoker.
Make sure you tell her right away. What will she think of that ???

The Secret of Life
by Terry inmy elementary school teacher, miss allen, gathered us in a circle just outside the classroom under overspreading limbs of a pecan tree.
as she spoke, we all listened intently - the expression on her face seemed to say, "this is very important.".
"sometimes life doesn't go so well and we feel afraid.

How Could We Have Been So Heartless?
by BluesBrother ini am addressing here those who, like me, spent decades in the organisation that we called “the truth”.
perhaps like me you were brought up in it from an early age.
looking back now i wonder that i could have been so heartless as to believe that the mass slaughter of billions of people was “good news”.

In my case I just believed I was going to die with all the rest. I guess I believed we all deserved it or we
could not live up to Jehovah's standards I wonder why I didn't think Jehovah was mean or cruel ?
Now I can't wrap my head around a God that could be such a killer of 99% of all people living.
That would be SO mean and cruel ! Amazing when you come out of being brainwashed your thinking could turn 180 degrees. Yes, being raised with fear and guilt was awful but my mom made it a little better because.she was very loving and my dad was not a JW. ..

You know how it says in the bible , pray for anything in JESUS name. Well I prayed always for other people,asking JEHOVAH for friends that need help. Maybe they were sick or needed a new car because they lived far away from the hall. maybe sister humble's husband just lost his job ect.
I NEVER PRAYED FOR ANYTHING FOR MYSELF, except maybe to try to use the fruitage of the spirit more. I guess I never thought I was worthy and didn't want to ask unless it was really really important. Kind of like saving your get out of jail free card. LOL
Than my husband of 30 years wanted to not be married anymore. No fault of mine. He just wanted to try something new. (woman) I never prayed so hard and so long for him to change his mind. Nope, no answer for me. There is no God. Or he hates me. From a young age I pretty much knew I would die in the big A. Going done the rabbit hole isn't so bad. I just want the truth no matter where it leads me. Yep I would take the red pill.
Yes I.m still a good and loving person ! Personally I believe there is no God. I don't have to live with fear and guilt anymore. Free, I'm free at last . Free to learn, free to read, free to talk . I't GREAT! Oh and I'm free to say good luck Huxsley I hope you find what you'er looking for. Read" the History of God :by Karen Armstrong.There is a good video on you tube called the history of God 2.5 atheism a history of god (A) It is 15 minutes based on Karen Armstrong's book. I think the guy that does the video may have been a JW. He has a great voice. Must have learned it in the Kingdom Hall if he was lol.

Why did they have to HANG MARY?
by Terry inthey hanged mary!
(the townsfolk did)i'll tell you about it - but .... the facts will turn readers against her.
i mean, after all, she did kill a man.sympathy instantly dries up; making her agonizing death--as awful as it was--much less empathetic.

I've read bout this kind of think before. It wasn't Mary but maybe a horse. I don't think it was a rare thing back in the past. Very interesting read , as usual Terry.
Talking about elephants has anyone read " Water for Elephants " ? Great book ! Crappy movie.

I am sorry to say this because and am far from being raised a racist but watching live coverage of the Target looting, I was sad to see 95% or more of the looters were black.
Now I don't know if it was because this was a black neighborhood but I do know this. All these cities are run by Democrats . Detroit schools are a mess. Everything is stole , replaced an stole again. Inkster has NO schools.
Get a Paddy wagon , arrest these people. Come back and fill it up again and again Why are they letting them run WILD ?? Their grandma's would be rolling in their graves, what a disgrace !

When my husband and I moved to Olive Branch MS. We bought a beautiful 4,800 square foot house . I wake up the first morning, looked out the window and said "honey we just moved into a black neighborhood " Yep the first five houses across the street were all black people and great neighbors.
It was just sort of funny. Of course I find humor in everything.. My personal opinion is Obama did NOTHING to help race relations..
