  the owner of the company that i work for was talking to me today about his brother who chose a different line of business and makes more money than him.

  he seems to be upset about his choice of work.

  but when when i look around this guys yard he has done very well for himself but apparantly not as well as his brother.

  There will always be people who define their "success" by their business dealings, relative wealth, and sense of power. They fail to realize that none of that truly matters in the long run, and that while financial prosperity brings a measure of security, it also adds layers of insecurity and worry about the future. People who are happy in their own skin, who love others and consider everyone as an equal, tend not to require wealth and toys to be happy.

  24/7 cult crap on the airwaves means my adult daughter will spend even more time glued to her iPhone and iPad sucking up jw garbage. Sigh....

  Did it bother you that they taught, "miss a meeting and you'll fall away?"

  how many times did we hear that if we dont attend meetings we will leave the truth because satan will get ahold of us?

  that always bothered me.

  i thought, "if my faith isn't able to stand alone what good is it?

  Simon summed it up perfectly. Life is well worth living outside the stodgy walls of a "kingdom" hall.

  PARENTS, listen up (and yes, I know this is NOT the popular answer) --

  You can store your credit card info to use with your iTunes account, but as a parent you should NEVER give your underage child YOUR PASSWORD to that iTunes account. When YOU share your password, YOU are opening the account up for that child's use and it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to control its use, not the responsibility of the credit card company and certainly not iTunes' responsibility.

  Change the iTunes password. Do not give your child any of your passwords for any reason.

  We as PARENTS must set the example of RESPONSIBILITY, not blaming others for our poor decisions leading up to bad consequences. Children do not have good judgment in financial matters, that's why they are not allowed to sign contracts. Did the daughter make poor financial decisions? Absolutely. But that is why we have to teach them about finances before we give them access to finances. This girl obviously can do math and knew she was spending funds, but unless she stole your password to get into the account or breached an agreement with you to never purchase anything in iTunes...she actually had permission to do what she did.

  October 2nd, 2014: The World Ends Tomorrow, Taking all Bets!

  by Oubliette in

  on october 2, 1914, charles taze russell, founder of the watchtower, announced that the gentile times have ended!.

  tomorrow will be exactly 100 years since his historic announcment.. to commemorate this centennial occasion, i will gladly take bets in any amount of money that the world will not end tomorrow and that on friday, october 3rd, 2014 gmt, we will still all be here, for better or worse.. any die-hard jws interested in taking the other side of this friendly little wager?

  still hoping the big "a" is coming tomorrow and your loving god, jehovah, is going to commit mass genocide and execute 99.9% of earth's population because they don't follow the dictates the 7 members of the "faithful and discreet slave," aka, the governing body of jehovah's witnesses?.

  So armageddon "draws ever near"-a synonym is "creep up". Wouldn't that sound great in a song?

  Also like "those who bring us shame" - how do you bring someone shame? It's not like a gift, right?
