how can you be an apostate if you are not oposing something with force?
i do not believe in any religion and have trouble with organizations including corporations (oops already said that with the word religion).
i agree with most everything i have read on this board.
There is a tendency to build an ego based on labels. Some we reject others we retain, until we have a self image that we are pleased with. The labels we choose to wear will attract or repel people who have also chosen to live their lives through labels.
I say - throw them all away and just be. No labels, no typecasting. Leave all that to those who are afraid of true freedom.
hp sauce is the sauce to have with a fry-up at breakfast.

Simon - you said 'My God.' I didn't know you had a god?
As far as I know - Angelina Jolie is a product of Holland. Saucy eh! Perhaps HP Sauce will be a bit spicier with such Dutch pedigree.
i am back.
this time i won't lead you to what i want to hear.
promise.
I was hoping to save my miserable skin but decided it was not worth saving.
i've heard it a hundred times.
"noah preached, so we preach.
" but is that what the bible indicates?
Yeah! The good news was that all animals, birds and insects could go into the ark.
The bad news - only two of each.
The rest of god's creation were to be drowned by him, because of man's sin. After the flood it was decided that sacrificing animals was a way to atone for sin. All this in a world where the people and animals were allegedly vegetarians.
This is one daft story involving a seriously screwed up man made god!
I only throw plastic beads at JWs.They are so used to imitations, they can't tell the difference!
i never used to believe in psychic ability or reading my horoscope, but i've found indisputable evidence that whoever is writing the horoscopes are geniune and not fakes.
take a look at the list below, find out which one is you and then try and tell me that psychic ability is all faked:
aquarius (jan 21 - feb 19): you have an inventive mind and think you are progressive.
Mary
Psychic ability is all faked. Ok I’ll try. Psychic ability is all faked.Take a look at the list below, find out which one is you and then try and tell me that
No seriously. I am psychic myself. I am able to tell from your photo that you used to be sceptical about Psychic ability and the value of horoscopes but now you believe them to be genuine. You believe that you can prove this and want others to share your view. You are looking for guidance and insight into what the future holds for you.
i was intrigued by an earlier post.
the point was made that the jws are going door-to-door to meet a quota and are not really concerned about the people they are witnessing to, but only in saving their own butts.
has anyone ever had a non-jw friend and asked them if they could talk about jehovah for a while to them, in order to fill the time they need?
The pioneer I worked with had a whole bag of tricks. Sitting in cafes writing up reports on the conversations we had just had with householders. Walking for 30 minutes between return visits. On chap used to do the days text with his unbaptised 12 year old brother at 8AM. He had then started the clock for the day.
I grew tired of all these tricks and reasoned that in any employment if you work from 9-5 you are paid for 8 hours. I would count 8 hours for every full day I devoted to the cause. Any evening work was extra.
I knew one pioneer who allowed just two days to get his time in plus a bit on Sunday. He would go from 8AM - 8PM. He was very conscientious and fitted a lot in and had lots of Bible studies. He was open about it and said that the only time he had to spare. No one questioned him.
i want to put this in the right frame, as what is happening in iraq is not about dying for our countries.
so this is what i mean by this question.. if a foreign government were to suddenly invade your country.
would you be willing to join the arm forces to fight for your country, knowing full well that you may die having never been able to reap the benefits of any possible victory?
The situation in huge countries like America is different to a tiny Island like Britain, including Ireland.There is limited room. As more and more people immigrate here more and more Britons are retiring and moving to other European countries. The Spanish have taken over our fishing industry and many of our citizens are retiring to Spain and taking their money with them. So whose country is it now?
It is becoming difficult to find reasons to call it ‘our country.’ That may or may not be a good thing and perhaps it never was ’our country,’ but what young people are going to fight for an Island that is inhabited by foreigners, while their parent have take up residency abroad?
It is likely that in time their children will join their parents and the foreigners will have to fight to keep the country they have adopted. Britain’s youth will be fighting to defend their new home, Spain. Hopefully a united Europe will mean an end to fighting within Europe.

Shame we can't swap some hard working immigrants for our sponging, trouble making low life chavs.
Presumably you would not want to fight and die for these low life chavs - because they too are a part of your country?
when i was in nyc in spiring of 1999 (there on biz) i asked a bethelite friend who was the biggest pain to the wts and he said randy watters and his bethel ministries.
i flew home to oregon and i read everything on randy at www.freeminds.org (watchers of the watchtower world).
truly a life saver for me and my family!
I found out about Randy after I had left the Jehovah’s Witnesses. His work confirmed everything that I had suspected and was an enormous encouragement to me.
I used to subscribe to Bethel Ministries from the UK and he printed a letter of mine. For a moment I thought I was famous. Ah!
Carry on rocking Randy!
