Bad Day
by no one inthe average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the exxon valdez oil spill in alaska was $80,000.
at a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were being released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers.
a minute later, in full view of the assembled crowd, a killer whale ate them both.

Still think you are having a bad day?
A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen shaking frantically, almost in a dancing frenzy, with some kind of wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood, breaking his arm in two places. Up to that moment, he had been happily listening to his Walkman.

Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn, Germany. Suddenly, all two thousand pigs broke loose and escaped through a broken fence, stampeding madly. The two hopeless protesters were trampled to death.
What?! STILL having a bad day?
Iraqi terrorist Khay Rahnajet didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits. -

Did you keep "satanic" LP's as a JW?
by Pleasuredome in.
i kept all my iron maiden records 'cos they weren't satanic in my opinion and the music was just too good to be thrown out.
anyone else keep records that would have been deemed "satanic"?

Got rid of 'Demons and Wizards' and 'Magician's Birthday' by Uriah Heep among others. JWs were so freaky about music that I found that I had to turn off the stereo before answering the phone after a comment that 'Tangerine Dream's' music(Rubycon) sounded creepy during a phone conversation with a JW who happened to call.
Finally drew the line one day when someone happened by the house and saw a 'Santana' album and commented that the name was just too close to Satan and it made them uncomfortable. Telling them that it was a man's REAL name made no difference. After that, all music was kept out of sight and earshot.

Why did I fall away from the truth???
by JNS2 inno, i don't think it is the "truth" any more, but for 22 years i did.
that is what makes this so very difficult to come to grips with, admitting that i wasted all that time as a mindless drone.
(borg) anyway, i've been trying to analyze why i have fallen away.

Gravity. The weight of evidence against so many teachings finally grounded me on something a little more solid: logic.

Jehovahs V the Raelians
by spacegirl inhi everybody - long time no speak, been researching other stuff like these flipping raelians.
absolutely fascinating what they believe in.
don't know if any of you have read this guy rael's books about being created by human aliens and apparently in 30 or so years if we follow rael we can have everlasting life by being cloned.

Um, and I'd really like to know the difference between open and free use of the word "shag" and the word "deleted". Both four letters. Both mean the same thing. So what's with the very emotional association with one and not the other? I'd really like to know, especially as I'm a journalist
Elitism. Another definition of 'vulgar' is 'the common people'. But, now most people take it to mean 'offensive'.
Being the language of the common people, there arose those who didn't want to be associated with that particular class. And so in place of a word, say, the 'vulgar' shit, other words sprung up; feces, defecate, excrement, effluvia(marginally means shit), ca-ca, do-do. But if you use a word like 'effluvia' in a sentence, gee, you sound so knowledgable. Pretty soon, the new words separated you from the scum that said 'shit'; even reaching a point where you could talk down to them cuz they didn't understand the meaning of the word being used..
Personally, if I think someone's full of it, I prefer being explicit so there's no misunderstanding. However, we're in Simons' house and if he asks us to refrain, it's his home to make the rules in.

need to know
by kls ini have a question, i asked my witness husb.
why witnesses dont call god by his real name ,yahweh, if their the only ones talking to god you would think they would.so i went on the internet and did some looking and found the name jehovah was interpeted by a spanish munk in 12 century.he was to study and reveal meaning of bible.then i read jews did not even use the letter j in those times,i told my husb this and he blew up saying jesus is not hes real name either.so my question is---who interpited jesus name ?if jews did not use the letter j and god is realy yahweh what is jesus real name?
why dont the witnesses want to be called by gods real name,i mean they take jehovah and use it for their title and they talk to god and hes name was started by a munk.i hope im making sense and explaining myself ok.thanks kls

Anglicizing a name is OK if in the end one acknowledges that it isn't the correct pronunciation. Jesus is 'gee sus' in English, but 'hey zeus' in Spanish. If I had a Spanish friend named Jesus, I think he'd prefer to be called by other than an 'anglicized' version of his name. Maybe I'm being too picky about this, but have always noticed the human tendency to correct others when our name is mispronounced. Maybe for God it ain't that big a deal, but I prefer to err on the side of caution and not be disrespectful.
To me, the whole concept that Christ was trying to get at was that his(and our) relationship with God should be as close as father and son, hence, his continual use of father instead of calling God by name; same way we say 'dad' instead of calling our parents by their names.
Question: What do Israelites who are JWs today call themselves; Jehovah's Witnesses, Yahweh's Witnesses, %&%* 's Witnesses? Can anyone here provide feedback on this?
