@James_Woods, last year I forgot i put a bottle of c hampagne in the freezer. Never would of thought that c hampagne flavored slushi's would be good..............but i was wrong, they were amazing!
i know this is minor, but it bug me and i wonder if any fellow atheists have noticed it to.
im talking about the random capatalization.
like i can understand why you would write god with a big 'g', but whats up with writing he or him or the holy one or lord or whatever?.

brisbane, australia.
temp: 32c = 89.6f with very high humidity.. moving from an airconditioned room to the outside is like crashing into a solid wall, ok ok not as bad as that.. had to get changed 3 times due to the perspiration.. tonite 7:05pm electrical storms now arrived, powers gone out & i've only got a led torch & my laptop (only 4 hours left on battery) for entertainment.
so glad i cooked dinner early tonight as i normally cook abit later in the evening.. hows the weather at your place?.
Just got 10 inches of snow here in detroit!!
currently mine are: peking duck pancakes, a sexy danish guy ( love those danes) and sleep.
yes thats right, have spent 4 nights without sleep,... the old withdrawal symtoms still banging on don't ya know!.
am currently at the point where smashing plates seems like a very refreshing and appropriate activity.
Taco Bell & Candy
i love criminal minds and the newest criminal minds that was showcased last night.
and i love law & order svu!.
Hawaii Five-0
Boardwalk Empire
Mad Men
There is also a new show, only 2 episodes so far, Chicago Code.......It's been pretty good!
i ask because i've been posting at jwd/jwn for 10 years now.
i was a rapidly fading jw when i started but still considered myself a christian for a good few years more.
now i've embraced reason and rejected faith i'm a very happy atheist and enjoy learning more about the fact of evolution.. what about you?.
I think my thinking process has changed a lot. Before I started Lurking here, I knew that the JW'S were wrong, but I never really knew why. Now I can look at things with my own eyes and take them for what it’s worth. I don’t really know what I believe now......Scripture Fact or Fiction, God or no God. But I am having a great time finding my way and seeing the world in a completely different way. Thanks everyone for helping me do this!!
i recently faded and my mother is bugging me to go to the memorial this year.
i have no interest in going at all!
however i have an idea and i think it would be funny.
I recently Faded and my Mother is bugging me to go to the Memorial this year. I have no interest in going at all! However I have an idea and I think it would be funny. I don’t live in or near my old territory, I want to go to the memorial and partake. Then when my mom asked if I went, I could tell her yes and that I partook. When she flips her lid(because she will) and asks why, I'll tell her its because when I die I'm going to heaven.
I know it’s kind of immature, but then again so are they. With the way my Mother and the rest of my family has treated me family and me, it would be a good little F you to all of them.
What do you guys think, Go for it or leave it alone?
i was raised from the age two as a witness by my new recruit parents in 1981. i was born in 79.. i didn't like being jw, and that didn't mean i was a saint.. and my parents were fanatical and still are.. i have an an older sister and a younger brother and we are all 2 years apart.. my brother and i were a riot.
mischeivious, rambuctious, hyperactive and not afraid of nothing.. we had games over the years.. like singing in british accents during the songs(and during bible reading at family study) and screwing with the word just loud enough for each other to hear.. we used to have armrest battles when we sat beside eachother.
pushing elbows until the other slipped and got in trouble.
strymeckirules, me and my friends used to do all that stuff too!
one of my favorite moves was when going to a door. start of the convo with the homeowner saying this, Hi my name is XXXX and this is my friend XXXX and he has something he wants to talk to you about. then just look at your friend, and he has the biggest OMG, what the heck am i gonna say look on his face.......priceless!
i ask this question in harmony with deedub's swan song thread which i linked below.. http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/205902/1/time-to-say-good-bye.
to some degree, i think i understand where she's coming from.
just speaking from my own experiences since stepping into the world of anonymous apostacy, i went through a few different phases of personal outlooks.
I understand your point, I dont think I could do it though. I like haveing the freedom of living my life the way I want. If I want to have a few too many drinks in the safety of my own home a couple of times a year, I should be allowed to. Same thing goes for having a conversation weather or not there is a god, or if there was a flood, or if the Jonah story is fact or fiction without being condemned for it. I want my kid to go to college and be able to play sports growing up. None of the things that I just mentioned would, could or should be anyone business except mine. Unfortunately when you are member of the JW'S you are not allowed to make choices without running a check to see if this is allowed by a group of old men in new york.
Just my 2 cents
what's your passion?.
some people are very intense when it comes to politics, religion, jws, sex, love, the arts, music and almost anything that could get them revved up..
Playing Golf, Sports and Music
are you a jw or if you were one do you still have any jw traits left?
take this quiz to see... .

You are 10% Jehovah's Witness!
You have what Jehovah's Witnesses call a "rebellious spirit" and a "bad attitude". Even if you became a Witness, you would be a bad one. You'd probably talk to disfellowshipped people instead of shunning them like you're supposed to. You wouldn't blindly agree to every new teaching of the Watchtower. The only friends you would have at the Kingdom Hall would be the teenagers that think you're cool, and the other "rebels". The Kingdom Hall is not in the cards for you.
