ah yes, major league baseball is about to shoot itself in the foot again, as the player's union has set an august 30th strike deadline.
personally, i feel that these bozos (owners and players included) can't be so dumb as to actually jeapordize this season, just as they ruined the 1994 season.
how do you feel about a possible baseball strike?
It's pathetic how much these guys make playing a kids game.
That's right. A kids game.
Sure it's a fun sport to play but, when you are
paying guys millions of dollars to hit and catch a ball there's something that gets lost in the game.
Let these guys go on strike.
That way, people who love to play for the fun of it will get a lot more enjoyment as well as attention for playing.
ie: high school and college teams, pick up games as well as orginized town leagues.

is there anything that could make you go back?.
what do you think, is there any change of belief or change of circumstance that could make you return to the jw fold?.
i cant see anything that could make me go back,but i was thinking mabye some of you religious types would go back if they changed some doctrinal things,or if they stopped banning blood.. how about if a family member was dying and hoped to see you in paradise would you go back for a while just to make them feel happy?
Is there anything that could make you go back?
Go back to what?!?!
A group of people that follow a bunch of men that can't make up their mind
as to what the 'truth' is.
That would be like going back to a ship on stormy waters without a sail and compass
that is slowly sinking.
Go back to being controlled by the WTS as to who you can have for friends, what you can read, what you should believe and when you should believe it?
To go back, you would have to have some kind of belief that the WTS speaks for God.
And seeing as the WTS has proven without a doubt that they DO NOT speak for God
what would be the point of going back?
Only if you are wanting to worship a man made and man run orginization would anyone go back because that is in esence what the WTS is all about.

as most of you already know, the jehovah's witnesses are covering an article in their august kingdom ministry to be discussed the weeks of 8/19 and 8/26 which details how they are to shun and avoid those who are no longer members of their organization, even immediate family members.. .
undoubtedly this article has been written to reinforce to the rank&file jehovah's witnesses the shunning policy, so as to tighten the ranks and prevent members from having the opportunity to learn the abundant contradictions and hypocrisies found within watchtower doctrine and practice from any who may have left.. this policy also serves to divide families and attempt to shame or abuse those whom have chosen to no longer be jehovah's witnesses, for whatever reason.. that much is obvious.
in recent days this topic has been discussed in detail in various threads.
Well,I guess I'll jump in and say ME TOO!!!
Although I'm not df or da'd.

i've discovered one of the most amazing places, thanks to a poster here:.
(i don't know how to create a link; please feel free if you do).
there are video tapes and audio tapes and movies and cds and all kinds of stuff.
Bleep,
"A "freemind" is a mind Satan loves to keep."
The problem with what you're saying is that God gave us a mind to use.
I don't think He wants us to give it to someone else to control and bind up.
After all, it is by using our minds that we are able to distinguish between good and bad.
It is by using our minds that we can see what a cult is and decide not to follow it.
And it is by using their minds that the Beorians were comended for checking the scriptures to see whether what they were being taught was true or not.
So Bleep, You were saying?

i know there has been a anti-perfume thread.
but does anyone use light or moderate amount of perfume or aftershave?

One of the all time favorite scents.

once in a while i read the daily textbook where i regularly find many contradictions of teachings with the bible.
note the example of the text for sat.
8/3 taken from acts 12:24 which says the word of jehovah went on growing and spreading.
That's it Youknow?
Is that the only answer you have ?
He asks a good question.
How would a believing JW answer?

lets post lessons we have learned:.
i've learned that no matter how much i care, some people are just assholes.. .
i've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it..
I've learned that no matter how much you learn
you'll never really know enough.

i just don't get why all of you are so upset with the watchtower bible and tract society.
now, they did make few mistakes, even though they are god's channel of communication.
well, stuff happens.
Hi larc,
Thanks for pointing that out for us.
Yes indeedy.
There is no reason for us to think negatively of this orginization.
Just because people have died because of a false teraching doesn't mean they are not Gods true org.
Just because they can't seem to come up with a truthfull teaching and stick with it
instead of changing it every couple of years.
Just because they are no better than the worldly religions they are always putting down for doing the same things they do.
Just because they have, instead of a clergy, a group of men that dictate how JWs must think and act to be accepted by God.
Actually, I guess they are a clergy.
So thanks lark.
