I'm sooooooo addicted (this year and last year)! I live in the Los Angeles area and have attended a few of the tapings. I was fortunate enough to attend last week's two hour show. :)

What bothers/worries you most about the war ?
by m0nk3y inthere seems to be quite a few concerned people out the regarding this war in iraq and for good reason.
so what exaclty is bothering you about it, does it involve the very real fact that alot of innocent blood could/will be shed ?
are you fearing this could all be a part of bible/wts prophecy ?

For me, what bothers me most is my mother's joy (she is still in the "truth") over "bible prophecy being fulfilled right here before our own eyes." Of course, the current dubs believe there are only one or two unfulfilled prophecies remaining before the end of the world.

I can't be the only person who thinks the 9/10th of a cent tacked at the end is a complete joke! Why can't they just use whole cents? Of course, then they'd have to start rounding up the 99 cents things to $1 even. Come on, instead of $4.99, why not just say $5?
I love Australia where everything is rounded up or down to the nearest nickel and they have no pennies. :)

I was a JW from birth until after I got out of high school. I've drifted away over the last 15 years or so.
Lately I have found myself missing my sense of spirituality. But I haven't had any desire to return to Christianity, JW or other. I've been somewhat preoccupied about what exactly happens when you die. As I get older, I find myself more increasingly aware of the supposedly limited time I have remaining here on Planet Earth.
In discussions with friends, I have found some tenets of Buddhism to be pretty fascinating, if nothing else. Many of their explanations actually make sense.
I actually sat in on a Buddhist meditation session last weekend with nine others. It was pretty interesting. It consisted of sitting on a cushion placed on top of a floor mat, legs crossed, back upright, hands in a circle, meditate for 15 minutes. Then push all cushions and floor mats to the center of the room, walk slowly in a circle around the room again in meditation (called "walking circle meditation"). This was cool because it allowed you to stretch your legs a little.
This routine was repeated three more times, all in complete silence other than the sound of the gong indicating the transition from sitting meditation to walking meditation. Then we read some pretty profound passages from a book. Then some monotone chanting of a two-page passage. That was interesting because each syllable was pronounced evenly and at the same interval with no verbal pauses at the commas or periods.
I'll admit to being open minded about the whole thing. I'm curious what experiences anyone else has had with Buddhism.
By the way, on that web site where you answer a bunch of questions to determine which religion best fits you, I was surprised that Reform Judaism came out #1 followed by Sikhism in the #2 slot.

This almost doesn't warrant comment, however, if his style grates TOUGH! Get over it, he reflects how most Americans feel.
I don't believe this and like to see it get backed up. Remember 51% is hardly "most Americans."
How is it that the USA is so RIGHT in their position and the majority of the other countries around the world are so WRONG? This alone makes me very suspicious.

NO, the 888-5-OPT-OUT number is legit. You do have to give your social security number. Otherwise how would they know which credit file to no longer sell to merchants?

Do You Know Your Blood Type?
by RAYZORBLADE inwith all the information we have nowadays, out of sheer curiousity, do any of you know your blood type?
for some, i know the blood-issue is a touchy subject, but it's interesting to know it.
you'd be surprised especially when the case of an rh-negative mother may give birth to an rh-positive child.
