Have you come along way!! I'm glad to see the nut meds ya have been takin' are finally kickin' in!! Are ya still serving Jehovah? I think ya were the more dedicated lover of Jehover from what I recall. In fact you were gonna kill people who didn't love Jehover!! And now to see you as an apostate. Life is great!
i'm throwing caution to the wind with this one but i know it will be appreciated.
i just received this a few hours ago in my email and thought some of you may be interested, it will affect us all if it goes through.
ban on gay marriages bill now in congress .
It's a terrible thing this bill! I have some friends who are animal lovers and they want the right to marry their pets but now with this bill their dreams to marry the pooch they love will be shattered. It's
terrible the hate people(and animals) have to endure because of some friggin' religous nut cases!!!
i tend to find myself attracted to the extremes.
either woman who are very nice and sweet or woman who are wild and crazy.
however, i don't like woman who are rude and have a lot of attitude.. many guys like blonds, but i tend to like dark haired woman better.
When I was younger I wanted a girl who was good looking, polite, humorous, sporty, and knowledgeable. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I didn't go out. She had to be able to tell me interesting stories when I needed them and be silent when I wanted to rest. So what happened?
I bought a television set.
the anthropic principle .
it's true that life as it exists on earth, and the behavior of the universe as a whole, is finely tuned.
these constants, most physicists believe, were introduced at the time of the big bang, when the universe seems to have been created, or at least, to have begun again another cycle of creation.
Intersting info you have presented Joe. I liked the "Interview with an atheist" on your web page. Some people think that athiest hate God. It's not so....how can you hate what doesn't exist? Actually, it's those that believe that there was or is a Creator, and He couldn't care less about humans, that are a threat to religous fundies. Wouldn't it be easier to believe that some "Higher Power" or "Powers" created the universe, got life started on earth,and then split? Maybe if enough people expressed their disapproval of the Creator's "lack of love" for mankind, He might hear us and get off the friggin' golf course!
fascinating case taking place now in ohio.. from http://www.jw-media.org/releases/default.htm.

february 25, 2002. u.s. supreme court to examine anonymity and free speech.
The Constitution of the United States is archaic. If the Founding Fathers of America knew that by giving freedom of religion, there would be "Satan worship" in the future, you can rest assured that "freedom of religion" would have been written differently. "Freedom of Speech" does not mean "Invasion of privacy",
and that is what the Watchtower spooks do when they go to someone's door. We have caller I.D.'s on our telephone's to protect our privacy. Why can't someone who calls at our doors, and we don't know them, be required to carry an I.D. when their motives are either to recrute or sell something.
We are all upset because of the brain-washing that the Society has done to us. The attorneys prosecuting the Watchtower should use this info that the apostates have to help their case.
I feel strongly that the Constitution has to go. It's a joke!

the following two accounts of the morning visit by the women to anoint jesus body are contradictory.
according to mark, the women wondered how they would remove the stone covering the tomb, but they found that it had already been rolled away.
matthew, however, says that when the women went to the tomb, there was an earthquake, and an angel came down from heaven, went to the tomb, and rolled the stone back.
Joe,
It seems to me that when and if Matthew and Luke copied Mark, the gospel of Mark didn't contain chapter 16. It could have been added later. If the author of Mark did write the short version of chapter 16 then it would seem that Matthew and Luke were not content with Mark's version and added to it. I prefer to believe that Mark didn't write chapter 16 at all because it would seem to me that Matthew and Luke would not want to copy Mark and add extra details which are obvious discrepancies. So the most logical conclusions is that Matthew, Mark and Luke got their resurrection accounts from oral tradition.
a woman who had lived a sinful life found god just before she died.
she then was taken to heaven, and while waiting outside the pearly gates she heard the most god awful screams you can imagine.
"why are all those people screaming?
A woman who had lived a sinful life found God just before she died. She then was taken to heaven, and while waiting outside the Pearly Gates she heard the most god awful screams you can imagine.
"Why are all those people screaming?" she asked St.Peter
"Oh", Peter replied, "those are people having holes drilled in their heads and their backs so we can mount their new halos".
"Forget that" said the woman, "you can send me straight to Hell where they can gang rape and sodimize me for eternity!"
"Why would you want to do that?" asked Peter
"Cause I already have holes for those things".
when is a nutter going to get his revenge on the society?.
there are plenty of psychos out there who have become jw's.how long will it be before someone who has left the org and is mentally unstable is going to get revenge on the society?.
i think the gb should be worried for their lives, if someone gets into bethal with a gun or a bomb they could get blasted to smithereens.. i know it has happened at least twise.a bomb in a kingdom hall in austrailia and i think a fire in korea that killed a lot of witnesses.. but think of how violent the us is compared to a lot of countries and how easy gun accses is there.. it may not be a question of if , but when.
I too have wondered the same thing. Why didn't Timothy McViegh park his Ryder truck in frony of Bethel? Because he wasn't disfellowshipped. Someone who is an ex-witness who wants to kill themself will be the one to blow up Bethel. A dying man with no hope has nothing to lose.

Joe,
There is no error that I see in these accounts. In both accounts the stone was rolled open, and one account says that it was done by an earthquake, and says that an angel of God was sitting on the stone. Where is the contradiction?
once upon a time in the kingdom of heaven, god went missing for six days.
eventually, michael the archangel found him on the seventh day, resting.. he inquired of god, "where have you been?".
god sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds.. "look michael, look what i've made.
Aren't Liverpoolidians called "scouzers"?
