What do you say to that statement?
I'd say why? What does he need an organization for? The saying goes " If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself "

Hey There Canuckers!!!!!!
by dottie inhad a question for my fellow canuckers:.
i am going to green bay for the apostafest, and i don't have a passport.
should i get one even though i have plenty of canadian id???

Dottie. Glad to see the Green Bay fest is going to have some Canadian representation.
It will probably be more work to get a passport, than to get through US customs. But that is now. Things could change overnight. I read an article in the paper last week that suggested the US was looking at setting up dual entry and exit points. Which translates to being questioned twice on the way in and twice on the way out.
If I was going to Green Bay, I would definately get a passport. It can't hurt now, and could make things a lot easier if the situation deteriates.
Be prepared to spend up to 100.00 dollars by the time it's all over after fees, taxes and pictures.
oh....and have fun

Time for me 2 say goodbye
by Iron Eagle inyeah i've decided to say goodbye folks.. i've had some interesting discussions on this forum, yet i will cease to operate as an active member as of now.
i came to this conclusion via a number of reasons; .
(a) many people on this board have had such a bad experience as a witness that they have decided to deviate so much from the bible and what it tells us.

Iron. Sorry you feel that way. To be honest with you, I had similar thoughts myself when I first starting lurking here, over 2 years go. But I quicky came to the realization, that my expectations, were totally off base.
To leave the org. is one thing. To come to a site like this, and to expect everybody to have shunned all the man imposed rules and regulations, but yet abide by the " moral obligations " is bullshit. Many of those moral obligations were actually WBTS imposed, and based on the WBTS interpretation of their bible.
Some of the posters here, ( some have come and gone, others have come and stayed ), have not stopped at just believing the WBTS, but the bible itself. So to judge those ones, because they infringe on your comfort zone is unfair.
True. Some have lost their way, and have gone off the deep end as it were....Pierced Angel and her hubby, come to mind.
However there are many here, who though they do not agree with other's poster's lifestyles, refrain from commenting, because they have grown beyond the "judgemental thing ". Consider them the silent majority/minority. What matters more is that they are here to help the " lost souls", irregardless of their past or future lifestyle.
Whatever your path leads you Iron Eagle, I wish you peace, and comfort.
Regards David

Where are you going when you die?
by Mystery ina questions that has been on my mind for 20+ years that i have been away.. and more recently - a friend of my sons was killed.
he ask me "mom where are you going when you die?
" i am worried because if you die, i don't know where you are going.

Mystery. Ask a serious question, and get a bunch of humorous replies eh!
Where are you going when you die?
Good question. Probably the question of all time. I think it's a........... MYSTERY
I've mulled that one over since leaving the org. and I've basically come to the conclusion, that I don't care. I definately don't believe that mumbo jumbo about hellfire, and I wouldn't want to live as a heavenly creature either. ( Not that I have anything to compare it with ) LOL. And if there was a heaven, I wouldn't last very long there because I have a looong list of questions, that at his point of my life, I do not think can be satisfactorly answered.
My personal conclusion is we just expire, and that's the end of that. What I beleive is important, is that we do what we can while we are here on this planet. Be responsible, and kind.
Those 2 Laws, Love your god and.... love your neighbour, can be consolidated to 1 law. Love your neighbour...your fellow man.
If there is a god, Law 2 will reflect favorably regards Law 1. Sorry if it seems that I am putting god out of the equasion here, but I live with people. They are real to me, and I can share in their emotions. God..I don't know about him. Haven't seen hide or hair of him or his immediate family for a couple of thousand years, and actually I'm glad, because if you read " his book " , there is too much death and destruction in there for my liking. Yes a lot of good advice also, but isn't that good advice, just common sense !
More importantly to me at his time, is not where I am going, but what am I going to do while I am here. Yes I have some preferences as to how my passing will be handled. but that is of secondary importance at this time.
With regards to your kids, here is what I have told mine. I don't know. Dwell on where you are now, not where you may go. You appreciate your life today. Do what you can to imporve life for others around you, whether that be your immediate family, your firends, or strangers. That attitude should not be dependant on whether some heavenly diety is judging you. ( too much like " whose been naughty and whose been nice " )
The end will be the end, and no one knows what that is, but what is the legacy you leave behind.
Regards David

Well seeing " His Realness " has fallen off of the face of the earth......probably out in the door to door with da troof, and sordidodjah, I guess we'll just have to hijack this thread.
SpunkyChick. If there is going to be any kegs of beer involved, and OUTLAW is a member of the proceedings, I'm afraid it's going to have to be MOLSON CANADIAN !
