  Every other living thing on earth shares the same chemistry -- but not these bacteria.

  This is where it gets really interesting.

  Reply From Co-worker - Feel Excellent Moment!

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  so, there we all are in the break room in my place of work, and the topic turns to the holiday shopping madness.

  this co-worker starts to say how expensive this holiday season has been for him and that he's still not done, and too bad when the day comes the family members will find fault or something else wrong with his gifts, and to make things worst, that the wife also was purchasing gifts with his credit card so he feared the january statement.. so, i jokingly told him that one way he can remedy that is by telling his family that he's been studying the bible and that he won't be celebrating christmas this year as he's studying to become a jw.

  they all laughed loudly and the guy, second by others in the room, told me that i just didn't know how good i had it being a jw this time of the year.

  Yeah I had people express that sentiment to me several times over the years as well. That doesn't change the fact that you are a moron.

  This both excites me and breaks my heart

  i have two living siblings, an older brother, and a younger sister.

  my brother and his wife have had to move many times due to his job because of promotions, and new opportunities.

  everytime they moved, it would be weeks before they were settled enough to begin attending meetings again.

  Well, you and she chose your beliefs in direct contravention to JW beliefs - because you wanted a sense of fairness from God. (I think it's bizzarre but very cool what you both chose to believe, btw).

  So now you can believe in fairness from God w/o any WT BS to get in the way.

  I personally believe we are no different than animals and that when we take our dirt nap, that's it - it's over. That is fair - because it's all anyone gets; so I'm not sad about it.

  But if your sister believes that God exist and has something in store wrt an afterlife - I'm sure she can imagine several scenarios that are both fair and far more likely than anything that Pastor Russell or his ilk conjured up.

  Meanwhile, you and your sister get to be in constant awe of how dumb we used to be - believing the crap we believed. Just that awareness brings me a chuckle almost every day :)

  Chose love, happiness, and to be in awe of how-much-there-is-to-learn about this planet/universe; the days ahead will be better than those behind if you do so. I guarantee it.

  Todays WT study illustration of Jesus doing away Capitol Hill and Obama - a statement of the WTS?

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  i attended the todays wt study and got notice of the illustration of jesus doing away capitol hill and barack obama.. i think the illustration passed the juridical advisors of the wts, having a blackout!

  of are they trying to reach the anti government people like the tea party idiots with this kind of propaganda illustrations?.

  is this a signal that the wts is anti democrats, anti obama?.

  Then maybe the Wt will be investigated for sedation

  But it's only pictures like those being discussed that can keep anyone awake (!) during the meetings.

  john w. loftus responds to the "angry atheist" assertion.

  are we angry atheists?.

  .. if we are angry, christians will see this as a sign we are god haters.

  Haha... we shoudl go ahead and make that a stereotype: if all christians who deconvert become Angry Atheists then all atheists who convert become Smarmy Christians.

  Agreed; new (hu)man-rule. (although, I do know at least one Angry Atheist who has just gone back to being an angry christian)

  That was no woman.

  heh, good catch - but yes she was! Hottentot's get no respect. (google it, it's actually quite fascinating)

  I celebrated my birthday today for the first time!

  2. friends

  i didn't really have a party or anything, but people at work know that i'm no longer a jw and they got me a birthday cake.

  my birthday is not until the 28th, but my co-workers always celebrate anyone's b-day on the 3rd wednesday of every month.

  i've been giddy all day over it, though every once in a while, i'll remember how disappointed in me my parents would be.
