  THE BIG DEEELIMA FACING YOU KNOW

  by MegaDude in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  you know, a frequent poster here, is a mentally deranged semi-jehovah's witness with serious mental problems.

  he has serious issues with the watchtower, thus negating his effectiveness as a jw.

  he has no responsibility in his own congregation because he is regarded as "strange.

  Letting JW relatives go....revisited

  by MegaDude in

  some of you might remember i posted my thoughts on why, after years of shunning, and me continually trying to establish contact with the jw relatives that do this, i finally decided it was healthier for me to let them go and stop doing that.

  this was especially true in the case of my younger brother, who was more like a best friend.

  we spent a lot of time together before my extricating myself from the watchtower, including vacations and lots of weekends.

  Girl killed by hockey puck at NHL game

  girl hit by puck at nhl game dies .

  columbus, ohio (ap) - seconds after being hit by a puck as she watched an nhl game, 13-year-old brittanie cecil held a jacket to her head to staunch the bleeding and walked to an exit.. two days later she was dead, the first such fan fatality and one of the few at an american sports event, other than auto racing, directly related to action on the field.. an eighth grader at twin valley south middle school near dayton, brittanie would have turned 14 on wednesday.. the girl was struck in the head by a shot early in the second period of saturday night's game between the columbus blue jackets and calgary flames at nationwide arena.. columbus center espen knutsen's slap shot from the top of the left circle appeared to be deflected by a defenseman, with the puck flying over the high glass at the west end of the ice.

  it appeared to glance off another spectator and hit the teen in the left temple, witnesses said.. arena officials and medical personnel immediately approached the girl and helped her out of her seat - some 15 rows above the ice - and up the steps to the exit.. hospital officials would not disclose the cause of her death monday night and relatives declined comment.

  Why I love driving in Dallas traffic

  by MegaDude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you know, driving in this city is much like an obstacle course.

  almost everybody drives fast.

  but, of course, we have our bad drivers: mr. cell phone who drifts into my lane at 50 miles an hour when i'm doing 70 and doesn't even see me, women who are slapping on makeup and checking their face in the mirror while screaming and cursing drivers try to get around her, and then the dude that has to risk the lives of everybody in his surroundings so he can cut one car ahead in the next lane and narrowly misses causing a pile-up involving 10 cars.

  Letting go of JW relatives (Long)

  by MegaDude in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've been out of the jws for some time now, seven years.

  like many of you, i left a lot of acquaintances, friends, and family behind.. the acquaintances were fairly easy to let go, the friends very hard, and the family, well, near impossible, at least up until now.

  that she should listen to both sides of the story without fear and make her own decision.

  Writings show faith, doubt of Mother Teresa

  2. friends

  i thought this was an interesting article that showed even the most "saintly" people struggle with their belief in god.

  i've always respected this woman and the work that she did.

  some interesting stats: the missionaries of charity, which she started, feeds 500,000 families a year in calcutta alone, treats 90,000 leprosy patients annually and educates 20,000 children every year.

  from the associated press:.

  kabul, afghanistan (news - web sites) (ap) - beleaguered afghans streamed out of the capital on saturday, fearing a u.s. military strike against their taliban rulers who harbor osama bin laden (news - web sites).

  the taliban urged residents to ``stand proud'' - and threatened to wage war on countries that help the united states in an attack.
