i often wonder what the borg would do if governments decided to end 'marraige'.

so you have the ceremony but there is no need for the legal bit.

i kinda think things are headed that way because defacto and same sex relationships already have the same legal rights.. marraige is open to abuse.

while visiting with a workmate the other day i got to thinking.

my friend has had the lowest of morals of anyone ive ever met.

she was an illegal drug manufacturer for 20 yrs, jailed 3 times, junkie for 17 years, has been a topless waitress, made porno movies and prostituted herself.

sitting in the local cafe enjoying a coffee this morning when the witnessing group showed up.. before i had a chance to escape i was sharing my table with 2 'sisters'.

one was my best friend for years until i stopped going to meetings.

(such conditional friendships).. before i knew it i was being bombarded with questions like how i was going spiritually.

Have you read Athiests book of bible stories or similar and still believed the bible is the word of God?

2. bible
i had never questioned things in the bible.

i often thought something was strange considering jehovah was supposed to be so loving.

but never thought to see the bible as anything other than my jw upbringing taught me.. i now think the bible is a bunch of fairytales and have a whole lot less respect for the creator... if there is one..

this story happened in my hometown in a hall i helped build years ago.

its no wonder this sort of thing happens, this guy was probably desperate and vunerable when he got df'd.

no pity for this stupid elder, but the poor kids.

Faith without works is dead?

2. friends
my crazy brainwashed parents have devoted their lives to this cult, to the detriment of their children.

i recently told my mum that i needed to stop anything jw because of the anxiety and depression it has caused me for over 30 years.

she said 'oh well if thats what you have to do... but you know armaggedon is just around the corner and jehovah expects us to toe the line... faith without works is dead.'.
