  The Ori of Stargate

  by Balsam in

  have any of you been following the true path of the ori on the stargate show on scifi channel.

  how the ori intend to destroy all the unbelievers through out all the universe's.

  fundamentalist type religions like jw's, muslims, and other such fanantical religious ideas certainly are represented by such science fiction stories.

  Welcome HockeyMullet!

  Yes Auset is the primo contact for the northern MN apostates(although she of course always wears a suitable head covering when acting in a official capacity ;)

  I grew up in central MN, but I do know a few folks from further north.

  If you ever get to the Twin Cities, look me up.

  Help!!!!! How do I get out of vacation?

  okay, so spring break is coming up soon.

  i just got off of the phone with my jw mother (i'm still in the religion), and i found out that although i'm in college and was planning on going somwhere else for my spring break, that i now have to go down to memphis, tn with her, my dad and my 2 non-believing aunts and 1 non-believing uncle in an suv from wisconsin.

  i then have to stay with them for 5 days while my granddad and my mom fight over scriptures (my granddad is a 7th day adventist) and do nothing.

  Well collegegirl there are several ways to handle this:

  1. Totally refuse to live a lie. No going to meetings, no going in field service period. Ethically this is wonderful, but the consequences could be unpleasant.

  2. Theocratic warfare: attend the meetings, try not to barf or display any facial expressions that may be construed as critical of the fine spiritual food being served. The safe choice, although it can be challenging and requires a fair degree of acting ability.

  3. Baffle them with pure truth. For example, this could be your presentation at the door:

  You: Hi! We are going door to door selling these magazines to people, and to let you know that our religion is better than yours and if you want to survive you need to join us.

  Note that this presentation is simple, and can be used even if you are not familar with the contents of the current magazines you are using. Another example, making conversation after the meeting:

  You: That talk was a joke. Any of my professors would have been embarrassed to give a lecture that dull. I'm sure glad I only have to come here a couple times a year when my parents drag me here.

  Now I like option 3, its honest and yet you are trying to be flexible and at least try to please your parents. They will no doubt appreciate your willingness to meet them halfway like this, while respecting you for taking a stand.

  looking for a Minnesota ex-JW possibly now in California

  by No Apologies in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok, i am looking for someone i knew way back when, but i don't want to just blurt a name out, for obvious reasons... this person grew up in minnesota in the same congregation i did, she is probably late 40's- early 50's?

  the last i heard she has left the borg and is working on a book about her life in the troof.

  so, thats really probably as much info as i want to put out here, but if you think i am talking about you, or someone you know, leave me a pm.

  does anybody here watch this?

  i missed the first season, i saw the movie sky one showed before the second season started, and now i'm hooked.

  i bought the dvd's, both mini-series/movie and season one from amazon while they were on sale.

  Battlestar Galactica may only be at season 2 for the UK, but the US has just started its season 3.

  Uh, not to sound picky but its still season 2. The Sci-fi channel runs their series goofy, they run the first half in the summer, then take a break when the big networks roll out the fall premieres, then restart the season in January. Season 3 starts filming shortly, Lucy Lawless will be back for a 10-episode arc.

  Regardless, best show on tv right now.

  For those of you avoiding it because of memories of the original(pleasant or otherwise), just pretend you have never heard of it before, you will not be disappointed. Although I have yet to see a daggit on the new show.

  jwd news, feb 01, 2006 .

  in a move not surprising to ex members of the pervasive sect known as jehovahs witnesses, the watchtower bible and tract society issued a censorship request to google -- the worlds largest internet search software company.

  although it was a privately issued request, jwd news has obtained a copy of the formal request issued monday from one of watchtowers dissident factory workers.

  Dude,

  If you really wrote that letter as you were getting ready to get baptised, your baptism was obviously invalid.
