I was waiting for an answer as to why a loving god would need to use the cruel rule they use in the WatchTower when someone is disfellowshipped. The answer wasn't exactly the one I thought it would be, at the beginning but it turns out that I'm happier with this answer then when I was a "perfect little Jehovah's Witness".

An now for something completely mundane!

79 cents for a liter of gasoline isn't that much, when we compare it to the price we had in Quebec four month ago. It was approaching the symbolic frontier of 1 dollar per liter. I remember one day in september when I had to fill my tank and the price for 27 liter of gas was actually 27 dollars.

I believe the samething than flower. He changed his thought because he see his death approaching quickly. Sometimes, when you can't accept the absurdity of our life, you just decide to relay on a "superpower", to give some meaning to this otherwise meaninless life. But, by the way, why would we need a meaning for our life. Life is just life as it is, I don't think that it need any other explanations.

If you were giving some money to the WatchTower, in the past, it will be a joice to know that you invest it in something more valuable (like christmas and the familial holiday it should be).

As Elsewhere said, if you use a tripod you won't see these strange effects. All I could see in your image was the same kind of effects that I see when I take a picture using a long exposure time with my own digital camera. Also, if you take a photo during the night, noise will appear in the image, especially with a long exposure time. This does not proove in any way that there was a ghost in action. It just proove that the digital photography technology is still in development and there's still some default in it.

Someone left me an Awake magazine
by poppers inmuch to my surprise i found an awake magazine in my front porch the other day.
surprising because my neighbor's are jw and they know i'm not, and that i'm not interested - the father is an elder and they are always having meetings over there, but they themselves have never approached me.
so, i looked through it with the eye of a skeptic based on what i've read here.

Well, at least you can use this magazine to lit up the fire, if you heat your house with wood, like we do at our home. Or, you could also use it as a cheap way to replace toilet paper :-) .

Is Global Warming a Myth?
by Sirona ini've been reading about global warming recently and to be honest its getting more confusing by the minute.. some say there is so much evidence that it is caused by humans (burning of fossil fuels etc) but some say that it is a natural cycle that we shouldn't worry about.. http://www.junkscience.com/news/robinson.htm.
what is the truth?
are you concerned about our planet?.

If you live in Canada, during the winter, you'll find it very hard to believe that the earth is warming ;-) . A temperature of -10 fahrenheit isn't rare during the cold months of January and February, here in Québec. Often, our car won't start because of a dead battery, ah the pleasure of our winter.
