  Just watched a documentary on the Mormon church and I reckon they have got far more scandal and issues with BS doctrins than the witnesses ever did

  must admit i didn't know a lot about the mormon church, so i decided to spend my saturday night exploring them on you tube.

  after having viewed it i reckon the watchtower dosnt even come close to the scandal and total bs that surrounds the mormon church.

  this is just 2 examples.

  I read the book by Jon Krakauer, Under Banner of Heaven. JWs have nothing as compared to the Mormons. They are quite a group.

  as a kid i only collected comic books until around 1962.. my collection was very important to me and i had emotional excitement at the release of a new comic--but--i made a date with 2 girls.

  on the same day and didn't have any money!

  (not thinking it through, you see :).

  I am not a collector. I probably border on minimalism. Of course, living in a small Manhattan apartment discourages any collecting.

  Also, the whole concept of obsessive collecting is something foreign to me. I just don't get it. I am not critical, just don't get it. Perhaps this goes back to my father who considered a desire to have a hobby a personal weakness. And, collecting - forget about it.

  I can't wait to see the video. I am sure it will be uploaded by an evil apostate within seconds of it's release.

  Why I Refuse to Accept the term APOSTATE

  by Black Man in

  been going back in forth with my mom (who is a longtime pioneer and dyed-in-the-wool jw) about the term apostate.

  she has labeled me one because of my fading and because i stopped attending meetings a few years ago.

  i told her that i refuse to accept the term apostate because its a lazy way for the wts to not deal with dissenters and address why people are leaving this organization in droves.

  I kinda like the term "Apostate." It is cool. I have never been cool until I became an Apostate.

  so i travel alot for business and check into a hotel, start putting away my things and lo and behold in a bureau drawer, find a couple of wt's a couple of awake's and two tracts.

  1. throw them in the trash and forget about it.

  2. leave them where they lay and forget about it.. 3. leave a note for the housekeeper asking to lay off the cult recruitment.. 4. bring it to the attention of the management, and possibly get the housekeeper fired.. thanks for your input.

  my girlfriend's dad who is 82 lost his second wife to cancer last october.

  while she was dying, he secretly was seeing another woman, in her 60s.

  long story short, a month after the wife's death, they both moved in together and in early june , they secretly got married.

  Does he have money? At 82, there is not many years left, so there needs to be a serous discussion about the distribution of wealth. If there is not much, then there is not much to discuss.

  minimus, you must have missed it - an "antitype" Armageddon just happend. On second thought, it may have been a "spiritual" Armageddon. Perhaps it was an "invisable" Armageddon. In any event, it was pretty cool. Given that we are all still alive, it must mean we were good.

  Does money buy happiness and a longer life? You decide...

  by Brock Talon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i poured over time magazine's sep 8-15 2014 edition article "who we are" and put together this spreadsheet on the results from their poll.

  i found the statistics quite fascinating.. most people would say that "money doesn't buy happiness", but this poll seems to me to indicate the exact opposite of that.

  it also correlates education levels with higher earning that result in that happiness.

  There is a saying "I have been rich and I have been poor; Rich is much better"
