we've just been watching an absolutely heart wrenching documentary on itv about a little girl with a very rare disease (progeria) which makes her age prematurely at 10 times the normal rate.
she will be like an old woman by the time she is 10.. they have a meet-up where the little kids with the same condition can play and have fun together and seeing their poor little faces looking so happy is a wonder to behold.
i guess it's easy to forget that inside they are still really little kids.
Ah yes, the age old question of "why does God permit suffering". Most of us know the WT's answer is bogus, so what's the real answer?
Either God doesn't give a crap about all the evil that is perpetrated upon innocent people, or he doesn't exist. Take your pick.
On progeria, I've seen a couple of shows on the subject. Truly tragic for kids, as is the rest of the childhood diseases. I wonder if these kids mocked a bald religious zealot at one time.

what is your personality type?
take one of the tests below and then post your results.
i have taken this type of test many times.
I don't need to take a test. I'm an asshole, yet I do a lot for people.

while i'm not a regular as much as i used to be (maybe get to the hall 10 times a year), i always give praise and thanks to jehovah and his son jesus as requested in the bible on the appropriate day.
i have never missed a memorial.
whether or not i agree with everything the gb or watchtower puts out or says, is irrelevant.
Ah yes, the fashion shows. Actually, I thought the conventions were more of a fashion show than the memorial. Mostly the girls showing of their hot bods in revealing outfits for prospective mates from other areas.
(C'mon, all you ex-jw's even have to agree with alot of pagan origins in holidays)
What's with the "pagan" crap? Everything about the bible has "pagan" origins, many of which "christians" still practice to this day.
TR
for those of you inclined to prayer, i request it in behalf of my dad.
he is in the hospital for a blood clot in his leg, which is potentially quite dangerous.
he cannot move until it is dissolved, if that happens.
Hey Randy,
Hope all goes well for your dad.

the patriot act and the new bill creating a department of homeland security leave out something very important.
with these two bills the government will be allowed to create a central database that will contain information on every purchase you make with your credit cards, every medical prescription you fill, the web sites you visit (including this one), the e-mails you send, your bank deposits and anything else that leaves an electronic record except for one thing: gun purchases.
the government is not allowed to use the fbi's records of background checks for gun purchases to find out if a suspected terrorist has bought guns.
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft (a guy that wants to put clothes on naked statues) has made that clear.
You mean the statues with the tiny dinks?

kingdom hall football.
benchwarmer - those who do not sing.
quarterback sneak - the bad jw leaving quickly after the meeting so the elders dont counsel them.
LOL! So true!
Crap! Now I'll not be able to watch a game w/out thinking of this!

best dressed, wittiest, sweetest, nicest woman who posts on this forum?.
it's eyegirl .
the fact that she sent me the best christmas gift that arrived in the mail today, to my total and complete surprise and delight, has absolutely nothing to do with my assessment of this person!
Eman,
"Bangs" is the description for hair in front that is cut straight across the forehead.

Forgive me for I have sinned! I'm going to start going to meetings again. I miss them. I miss the companionship of fellow worshippers of Jah. Hopefully my wife and kids will go with me and we can be one big united family under the care of the Christian Congregation of JWs. I miss the discipline and meaty lessons at the Hall. God help me come back to you under the care of the loving elders!
Whaaa....huhhh!!!! Oh crap, what a bad dream! Whew! It was just a nightmare!
