Funny thing is, I'm part British and my entire family hails from the commonwealth.
it's kind of hard to love and trust someone who will off thousands of persons merely because they bitched becaused they were bored of bread...and that's just for starters.. .
i tried to rationalize it as jw saying, "well, we are jehovah's possessions, he created us and, by killing us, he is just reclaiming what is his.".
that is not a very firm foundation for true love.
Personally, I think the war/creator god that was previously known as Shiva seems so confusing because what we know of him is composed of by over 40 different men and women, and what more, before the council of hippo, what we knew of Shiva and some crazy Jewish hippie that claimed to be his son was written by a hell of alot more people, including Yeshua Ben Yusef's lover Mary Magdeline (Still, ask the Catholics why that important peice of the New Testement wasn't incorperated in the bible.)
You have over 40 different authors, you get over 40 different veiws on Shiva (AKA Yahveh).
Don't bother to get to know and love Shiva, get to know and love yourself and your family. Maybe there is a root to all these myths and legends about war gods and creator gods, but you're sure not going to find solace in only one story about them.
I did and I got this site, LOL. I contributed the picture of Chun Li saying "Nobody can escape my mighty legs!" or something like that.
i am posting snippits of an email i sent to one of the last jw that i still had contact with.
i was planning to visit the area she lives in and she was interested in meeting for dinner.
this is what i wrote her:.
I honestly feel your pain. It's just sad to see people follow the Jaraczhova's witnesses ideas on what true Christian love is rather than their own heart. I'm sorry about the death. Right now, I'm dealing with a death of somebody close to me too. It's truly sickening when people would put a corperation that did nothing for them except take their money to peddle books in front of their friends and family.
PM me if you'd like.
P.S. If your friend is still talking to you, talk about the mental torture people get from friends and familiy when they talk about the faults and fallacies of the WT (Bring up the quotes about 1914 on the covers of pre-1995 Awakes and Deut 18:22... That really makes them think.)
See how she acts. Maybe one day, you might plant the seeds of doubt in her and make her leave the Watchdollar cult.
from the state where drinking and driving is considered a sport, comes a true story from houston, texas
recently, a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighborhood bar.
late in the evening, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk.. the man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes with the officer quietly observing.
From the state where drinking and driving is considered a sport, comes a true story from Houston, Texas .
You mean that there's another state that considers that a sport besides Wisconsin?
my dad just got a serious stroke and he may pass on.
my dubbie relatives heard about it and all they could say is "you need jehovah right now.
" typical.
Well, the news is worse. He had a stroke in the brainstem and every minute he lives, he's suceptible to a heart attack or another stroke. We're going to pull the plug on him this week if he doesn't come to.
And yet another dubbie told me today to "Pray to Jehovah". As far as I'm concerned, I want to have nothing to do with Abraham's Creator/War god.

Yes, and I'm voting for Howard Dean next year. Us Americans need to learn Arabic and Russian sooner or later.
P.S. Note to Howard: DON'T PISS OFF THE JEWISH VOTING BLOCK!
many ancients including confucious and lao tzu took opposing views about this subject and their arguments are fascinating to read.
their arguments are nearly 2,500 years old.
the greeks also lively debated this question.. of course, as dubs (and in fact, in most christian faiths) we were taught that man was born inherently evil, and the quest is to overcome that and work towards the good.
I would have to say no just because of Hitler.
What made Hitler evil was that he killed perfectly good, competent, smart men just because he believed in a flawed system of "The master race", which did not better mankind. Not to mention that his "Master Race" would only consist of northern Europeans, which would eliminate any genetic diversity within his idea for a worldwide "Master Race", making it prone to certian diseases, much like how ethnically isolated sub-saharan Africa has people that are prone to Sickle Cell anemia and Jehovah's Witnesses are more likely to be nutty due to the fact that there are many nutty people in the religion and it frowns on dating outsiders, who are less likely to have mental problems.
"Good" and "Evil" just depends on what is good for the majority of mankind at the situation. Mankind wouldn't have been bettered with the elimination of Jews and other ethnic groups.
those of us raised as jw's were taught that "it does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step".
we were repeatedly told that without god, humans were incompetent and doomed to fail at any endeavour.. i personally believe that this teaching, that we as individuals do not make a difference, is possibly the largest doctrinal harm done to jw's, and one of the toughest to overcome.. so, for those of you who were raised in the wts and left, what do you choose to do now to make a difference in the world?
why did you pick that avenue - or why do you think you've waited up till now?.
I make a difference in my community by introducing the neighborhood kids to cynical idealogies and rock music.
