What I don't respect is someone who holds a strong opinion and can't defend it - if needed. The answer of "I don't know - I just do" doesn't seem quite enough. Even if I don't agree with the reason, if YOU have a reason that is good enough. Just be able to articulate it.

OMG - good point! They won't stop at anything. Likely the Death Star is moving into position as we speak.
It would appear that I will be leaving work early today to stand guard over the "comforter with special powers"
Well then I'm willing to make that sacrifice.
(Still shaking at the thought of letting that last pitch being thrown without being in contact with the "comforter with special powers")

Two more victims of a cult behavior. Really this is the warped reasoning that comes from living is a controlled enviroment.
Look 5 years down the road and think about what would be most healthy for you and what you can live with with the least regrets. Then make your decisions accordingly now.
Good luck.

The Red Sox are down 3 games to 0 on Sunday.
As the hours get late I pull out a comforter from the closet, not realizing the special powers it holds.
The Red Sox win it in extra innings on a David Ortiz home run and comforter on the couch.
It's now game 5. 7th Inning. The Red Sox are down. My heart is calling out for something, what is different? I notice the comforter is not on the couch as my lovely and neat wife doesn't prefer the look of it out. I go and get the comforter and the come back begins. After 6 hours the Red Sox pull it out, again Ortiz comes through - with the help of the "comforter with special powers".
I give clear direction to the family that the comforter needs to stay on the couch - Red Sox Nation depends on it.
Game 6. Comforter has been out all day. Red Sox jump into the lead 4-0 for the first time in the entire series. Schilling pitches a great game with a blood soaked ankle, as he had stitches the day before - but the comfort comes to his ankle from the special powers of the special comforter. Two times the entire Umpiring crew has to get together to clear up blown calls on the field - the special power of the comforter spreads over them - the calls go for the Red Sox.
But oh no! I check the computer and some network problems are happening at work. I battle the network demons while the Red Sox battle the demon Yankees. The Yankees are coming back. It's now 4-2, two men on and Tony Clark is at the bat. The count is 3-2 and 2 outs, Faulke is not looking great, then I realize what I have to do. Before the pitch I leap from the computer chair and dive onto the "comforter with special powers" - here comes the pitch - STRIKE THREE. THE RED SOX WIN AND FORCE A GAME SEVEN!
Tonight is game 7 - I am looking over right now and can see the comforter with special powers ready to battle the ghost of Babe Ruth. It will not be touched. The comforter with special powers will sit as is on the couch until the game tonight.
This is the year Red Sox Nation.

Would You Buy Cigarettes For Your Friends?
by Englishman inwhen i go abroad, my smoking friends often ask me to bring cigarettes home with me.
they can be purchased for a fraction of the price in france and the savings on a few hundred cigarettes can be quite considerable.. i always refuse.
it makes me feel a bit priggish to do so, but i don't feel good about aiding someone to continue with a life threatening habit.. now i feel better!.

I like not smelling it.

What if potential convert sat in back of K.H. and talked w/ shunned j.w.'s?
by hubert ini've been hearing a lot about shunned j.w.
's having to sit in the back of the kingdom halls when they go to meetings.. so, what would happen if a new bible study person went to the kingdom hall for sunday meeting, (or whatever) and sat in the back of the hall, and talked to the shunned j.w.'s?
also, are there always shunned j.w.

It would be up to the person trying to get reinstated to clear the matter with the new person - if they wanted any chance of getting reinstated that is.
This happened to me when I was coming in and the DF'd person told me that they couldn't speak to me right then and to ask the person studying with me to explain why.

True Mr. Pug and I still wish for the days of being comforted by the thought of the new system. But...
For all the negative I think I'm a better person for having been one. I think I do a better job with my kids and for some reason, even though I was hook line and sinker into it - I have given my kids a very normal childhood.
So I guess it's all well that ends well.
Of course if I get DF'd it would not be too good as many relatives on my wife's side are in and the relatives that studied with me are in as well.

After 4 years, I finally had JWs at my door today!
by bebu inyesterday i saw two women walking slowly around the end of our street, waiting on porches of empty homes.
i told my husband, "look, there are 2 jws.
we haven't had them come here for 4 years--ever since i mentioned that i had some serious questions (but had never enumerated any points at all).

NOTE: They told me that 607 marked the beginning of the exile from Jerusalem, and brushed off my question about hearing it being published as the destruction of Jerusalem. So, has anything been slowly switched around? Has there been a flash of new light?
That is quite interesting really. Since the WT has only referred to it as the date of Jerusalem's destruction, but the WT could see the need to switch this to deal with the growing body of knowledge that a.) Overwhelming evidence shows 587 to be the actual date. b.) Using their own WT official record of the lineage of Babylonian kings, 587is determined to be the date of Jersalem's destruction c.) The prophesy in Daniel says that the 70 years of desolation was for the nations (plural) not just Jerusalem.I'm afraid you had apostates at your door as they are "running ahead"

It is very cool and very productive for someone like me who had tons of technical references and spends too much time finding them.
Thank you Google!
