If you haven't read One Hundred Years of Solitude (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), give it a try.

Books!
by dynamiterose77 ini feel like i wasn't allowed to read a lot of books when i was younger, a lot of which i'm discovering are positivly phenomenal.. i was allowed to read edgar allan poe, who remains my all time favorite writer.
but, i've discovered the joys of stephen king, anne rice, joyce carrol oats, neil gaiman, george r. martin, david sedaris... and so so so many more.. i'm currently getting through "the shining" so i can move on to "doctor sleep".
i'm interested to see if anyone else that discovered the many joys of "worldly" literature, jumped immediately into what they weren't allowed to read... and what was your favorite?.

Why do I bother to wake up in the morning?
by punkofnice ini'm not suicidal just fed up.. i did think of suicide (briefly), but as there is no painless way and it's not something i would willingly do just in case things would have been better the day after.
i do have a slight grain of hope.. money problems.....problems at home (that's another matter with a son up court for something he is adamant he didn't do.
first offence but the pigs police and the cps have got charges made.

by disposable hero of hypocrisy innext week's wt is full of helpful encouragement not to believe satanic propaganda that might tell us that the world is getting to be a better place to live in.. .

Horrible, if the document proves to be true!
It is in full support of serving in the military and avows to have given no instructions to the contrary. And this during the WW II!
Incredible...

Jgnat: Comments that usually belittle "learning" among Witnesses - even when the subject does not warrant such references - show a certain degree of preconception and bias. Could some have read a heap of literary works without coming across "Alice in Wonderland"?
In the end, some in the non-JW or ex-JW community do take themselves - or their "education" - too seriously. I know you sought to draw an analogy, but it could still have been done without the allusion to little "learning" among Witnesses.

Afrikanman,
Ignorance may be bliss to you, but facts are unassailable. Read up a little about your history, get some enlightenment, it will not hurt. Apartheid was not only white empowerment, it enslaved a whole people and found all sorts of reasons to legalize that enslavement.
As for throwing little grenades from across the Indian Ocean, that is pure hallucination!

Sorry Loubelle, but white privileges do exist in South Africa. You are writing from the perspective of a white person who formed part of a class that benefited from apartheid for decades. Despite the so-called black empowerment, the SA economy is still largely controlled by whites. Denying that obvious truth would not change it in any way.
Yes, I happen to have family in SA and I do know a little bit of what I am talking about.

Assuming he felt threatened by an intruder, could he not have called the police? I simply don't buy any of his arguments. He "seems" distraught because he wants to save his neck (in the sense of not spending a long time in prison; I gather SA does not have the death sentence). It is difficult for me personally to empathize with this individual.
