Not patriotic at all. Never really have been. Do like living here although, since I have never lived elsewhere, I can't honestly say I wouldn't prefer to live any where else.

Are you patriotic?
by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! intonight my husband and i watched the fireworks for the 4th of july.
i've never done this before, save for occasionally peering out of my window as a child hoping to see a few.
tonight was wonderful - beautiful, fun, and there were tons of people there who were behaving themselves at least as well as people behave at assembly.

Who wants to 'fess up?
For me, I used to think if the damned Knight family were up on that frigging platform one more time, portrayed as the perfect "Christian" family, I was going to puke. As it happened, I had to content myself with eye-rolling, sighing, muttering and, of course, seeking respite in the ladies' room.Rosemarie

Goodbye everyone
by avengers intime to change my avatar.. this is the last time you will see me stuck in the shark's mouth.. i don't think it's appropriate anymore.. many of you have thought that i was the shark going after the wt,.
actually it's the other way around.. they took 30 years of my life, part of my family and more.
when i finally made the decision to stop in 1999 i slowly realized.

For those who raised children "in the truth"

i don't even know where to begin to broach this subject with my daughters (should they ever speak to me again.

My eBay feedback hit 666 today.
That is hopeless. How long have you been on there?
I alternate between spending money I don't have on ebay, and this place.
Glad to find someone who also (apparently) likes ebay. Do you buy or sell (or both)?

Did Any Of You Ever Believe In The Explanations Of JW Prophecy?
by minimus inas a born and raised jw, i was taught that not only did we have the truth but we also had the keys to understanding of bible prophecy.
i was able to explain the gentile times timetable, the reason for 1914,etc.
but there came a time when i really came to appreciate that i had no real foundation for these "truths".

No, I didn't. But I did believe in Jehovah. I suppose that's why I stayed.

The Sun never sets on the American Empire !
by Amazing intalking with critics recently revealed a concern of theirs that if the usa is going to go after saddam because he is a bad guy ... then, they ask: "what about the rest of the world?
" ... mmmm ... well ... yes ... what about the rest of the world?.
to date, america has removed noriega of panama, tried to kill castro of cuba, assisted with the removal of marcos, former president and dictator for life of the philipines, took back grenada, beat the crap out of qadaffy of lybia, removed the taliban from afghanistan, and then removed saddam hussein of iraq from power ... in the past we helped remove hitler, mussilini, and a few other crumudgeons.
