Financial Help.

hit my posting limit and am using my second account..... i don't know if anyone can help or not.. but i am in a desprate situation whereas i have to swallow my pride and seek out some help.. i am behind rent as well as my morgage ( i own a moble home on a lot rent).. need food as well.. phone needs to stay in service since i am deaf and need it as part my text communication for hopes of landing a better job.

sister can email me to let me know if a employer calls, so i can drive over and find out what's up from there.. i work at wal-mart and alot of us have our hours cut to 20+ hrs a week, so this is hurting me fianacially.. job hunts is hard since i am deaf since most employers seems to prefer hiring a hearing person.. i know of a deaf friend who is unemployed and he went thru 20 job interviews in a month.

none of them ever called or emailed him to say he got a job.. family can't help since they all have their own problems to deal with.. i can post all the info you need if anyone needs it, such as my landlord's address and my morgage address if anyone wants to mail a check directly to them.

Get to your state welfare office: Most states will help you out. Look in the phone book (here it is in the blue pages) and go to your closest one. Fill out the appropriate forms, and you might even get health insurance. It's out there, just not very highly publicized.

Money stresses are the worst, my friend, and you might do well to file for bankruptcy, if you have credit cards, utility payments, and medical bills hounding you, in addition to past due rent, etc. Messes up your credit, but breaks a lot of chains.

Remember, this is only temporary. You WILL get through it.

I admit it, I pray a lot when I'm facing financial trouble, and I think it helps in a very material way. Not sudden wealth, but getting by for today - and that's all that Christ told us to ask for. Having sustenance and covering, we shall be content with these things.

Empty words, maybe, but I mean them with all my heart. One day at a time, friend, one day at a time.

What Excuses Did You Have For Missing Meetings?

sick, tired, hungry,......?

It's time to come clean:

I stopped going to the meetings during college. No excuses, just didn't go. It was fun!

Then I started skipping out halfway - that way I didn't have to sit through the Watchtower.

Then I quit coming altogether.

Ahh, the sweet sounds of a Sunday hangover...

i've been hearing a big uproar in the media about schools banning harry potter books, and parents who refuse to let their kids read it, etc.

what's the big deal?!

when i was growing up, we had bewitched, i dream of jeannie, casper, etc.

First of all, LOTR beats the HELL out of Harry Potter. Potter is a child's toy, a complicated and interesting bit of gimcrackery fiction. LOTR is a grand and enduring mythology that put modern English literature into the classical levels of the Aeneid, the Odyssey, and Paradise Lost.

LOTR inspired Potter, and Potter borrows heavily from its liege lord. That said, I like the Potter. It has its place and is quite content making millions of people very happy.

Now, as to the preacher who cut up the Potter, didn't he realize that in this day and age all he was doing was PAYING for ANOTHER COPY which FUNDED the author's efforts to MAKE MORE?

Waiting...

what must go through the minds of older jehovah witnesses, who believed that they would never die and now face the reality that they will die of old age?

being told since a century that

that the end is near just made them keep on producing without questioning.

Just talked to my mom about this the other day - she has grown old in the service, and she said that she doesn't think she'll live to see Armageddon.

The GB DID betray them, with their insane devotion to "preaching, prediction, and prophecy" over sheperding the flock.

A whole generation went crazy and did something incredible - and just because it didn't work out like they thought doesn't make it all bad or malicious in intent. I mean, the 60's didn't bring utopia, but the Civil Rights Act helped a few folks, and that's better than nothing, right? And the JW's HAVE helped many people escape from the modern slavery system of drugs, alcohol abuse, and gave them a sense of purpose, misbegotten as it was.

Donkey's never-ending atheism thread

by donkey in

wih the permission of simon, i would like to start a thread to act as a collection of thought, quotes and miscellany on atheism and agnosticism.

there are so many other threads on this subject but no one place which one can go to on here.

i have much to share - enjoy and contribute with me please.give me the storm and stress of thought and action rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith.

Slice up the universe one way, and you shall find God. Slice it up another, and ye shall find Evolution, Spontaneous Generation, and Ye Olde Bigge Bange.

For me, the Biggest Bang is that which I and my lover engage in, therein do I finde Godde - and he has a sense of Hummoure.

Godde liketh not the atheist, for the atheist is far from Goddliness, and Cleanliness, and therefore doth the Atheist Stinkke.

The Atheist Liketh not the Godde, for He hath no Eyes, yet Sees All - What Manner of Being Is Thiss that Seeth without Eyes? A Potatoe?

And Thus the twain revolve around each other, the Potatoe and the Stinker, and the cycle of life is Compplette.

The Internet is a wonderful thing, where information like this can be passed from one Evil Overlord to another with the click of a mouse.

Of course, you guys don't know about rule #101, which I won't tell you.

unknown to me disassociation

by nightwarrior in

i am new to all of this, even tho i have not been going to the meetings for nearly 4 years now, through the basic hypocrisy that i faced and the witch hunt i have had to put up with over the last few years.

because i dare to expose the bent dealings of a car salesmen, who happened to be a p>o> i tried to ignore all of this and thought let them get on with it.

my wife continued going to the meetings, and was shunned the whole 4 years, despite both of us being very active members of the cong.

Leave the courts out of it, in my opinion. It's really hard to gain a meaningful victory in that arena over an organization that prides itself on its legal tradition.

What I do recommend is activism. Protests, etc, outside conventions, literature handed out, press conferences about your allegations. The org is terrified of public opinion. To sue them is pointless and will bankrupt you without gaining you anything. If you can score a couple of hits on them in a court of law, you can count yourself lucky. But the court won't stop them from diffing you, or protect you from their prying eyes.

Get down and dirty. fight them in the streets. I'm planning to stage a campaign this summer (won't say where, yet) that will throw the evidence of their corruption and abuse into the faces of all that are JW's.

my hubby has been doing photo assignments for the local newspaper.

it had some of her family members in it.. the phone call was strange, she didn't identify herself but we have caller id, so i knew who it was.

GB disassociates itself!!

by lulu in

dear brothers:

as you have admitted, the watch tower bible & tract society did join the united nations as a non government organization in 1992 ending in 2001, and according to the following watch tower this means that by their own actions they disassociated them selves from jehovahs organization which means that we must treat them like disfellowshiped ones.

in other words they are no longer jehovahs witnesses or have any right to that name.

No big deal? All right, then why did they suddenly pull out when they were found out?

I didn't buckle under the political stuff. It was the sweet nectar of love that drove me to abandon my puritanical religion. Now I'm a hedonist. This is all besides the point, anyway, I'm not the one who's hiding anything, or preaching that people should do one thing and then practicing another.

I've had SEX, and guess what, you should too! Outside of marriage. Head down to that coffeeshop, get yourself a nice little girl or boy with a new wave haircut and a nose ring, and boink yourself silly. Cause that's what I did, do, and preach.

Now, if I were preaching to stay out of worldly organizations like the YMCA, and then joined the UN as a security trooper, I would be a hypocrite at least. Whether or not it gave me benefits. In fact, what other reason is there to BE a hypocrite if it doesn't benefit you? WTBS is a hypocrite, and I intend to set all of its slaves free!

Hear my words of wisdom, little Yadirf! Go have the poontang and some weed! yes, yes, chase that honey, little bee!

Jesus is God

by SwedishChef in

here is a large collection of verses which prove the deity of christ:.

isaiah 6-7 6. for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called wonderful, counseller, the mighty god, the everlasting father, the prince of peace.

7. of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of david, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

Hey farkel,

That's why I like my philosophy. It doesn't put the demand of credulous belief in irrelevant things like this. It really doesn't matter whether Jesus IS god or just his representative. He's still not here.

It looks as though you have been "attacked" by the atheists and agnostics
