i wasn't 'in' long enough to make some real friends, but even if i did, im sure it would end up being conditional friendship anyways.

Smoking
by Tired of the Hypocrisy inafter my brother passed away in september of 2010 i started smoking again.
at first i would hide the fact from my wife's dad by burning a cigar candle and making sure the ashes and butts were not in plain sight.
but as time went on i just said to eff it.

HA HA HA HA thats awesome man! I tell you what i have heard and read so many sob stories about people not being able to live their lives properly in case of being found out about something etc, but you sir, i take my hat off to you!!
I did pretty much a similar thing, i was only a bible study, but when the penny dropped i started smoking openly, it was a small town and witnesses saw me smoking and my bible teacher even sat me down and talked to me about it. Thats actually when i said its all BS and left LOL.
Well done sir

Amanda Knox & Raffaele Sollecito have been FREED
by dm6 ini'm not sure how many of you are interested in this or how many of you have been following it, but i have been right from when i first heard about it a few years ago.. they were each sentenced 25 years and 26 years for the murder of british student meredith mercher, but after a dramatic appeal, today, they have had their sentences overturned and have been given an immediate release, because the evidence suggesting that they were guilty was not strong enough to support that verdict.. i always thought them both to be innocent, and this is true justice for the poor girl and guy after being locked up for 4 years for somehting they did not commit, however, it does still leave an unsolved riddle.... who killed meredith mercher if not these two?.
the strange thing is, amanda knox apparently originally claimed she heard screams from meredith and hid in a different room in the house whilst it happened, but that stroy had changed to "i was never there" which is what i think too, given the facts.. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3850483/amanda-knox-is-not-guilty-of-killing-meredith-kercher.html.
what are your thoughts?.

Shunning..... at Meetings ???
by IMHO incan someone explain why jws shun disfellowshipped ones when they are at their meetings (i.e.
making moves to come back)?.
i can understand why you may not want to 'socialize' with ones who do not share your beliefs.. but surely shunning such ones at the 'meetings'; assuming they are not there to cause trouble, is unloving; should they not be welcomed like the prodigal son.. true christians are known by the 'love' they show.

a lot of things are "organized', its how we like things as humans.
Think about Genesis right at the beggining. Imagine the guy writing the first words of the bible. Back then, it must have seemed a really impossible task to get all his thoughts and words out on to a peice of paper.
In the beggining god created...etc etc all up to the seven days. Its how we as humans like things, "in little boxes" so to speak.
Its just how we are, and how we like to see things, have everything organized. Becasue lets face it, God almoighty could do all he did in those seven days, times it by seven, destroy it all do it all over again several times, at the snap of our fingers.
If he wanted to.
