  Where were you at 33 years of age?

  i've managed to survive 33 years (and a couple of weeks).

  what a long strange trip it's been.. in spite of some tell-tale signs of aging (wrinkles around eyes, gray hair, mystified and sometimes terrified by the current youth culture) in some ways i still feel like a little kid who doesn't know anything.

  what have you learned since then?

  When I was 33....it was a very good year.....it was a very good year for blue-blooded girls of in-de-pen-dent means.....we'd ride in....limosenes.....their chaufer's would drive.....

  God, I love that song. I'm only 27 so I can't say much.

  The absolute stupidity of Christianity

  so often people here confuse just what the real evil is.

  we think it is the theology and practices of the watchtower.

  neigh!

  Well, the wedding is over. I've been disfellowshipped.

  Just kidding ;) Seriously, everything went all right. No questions asked, just smiles and the somewhat awkward "I'm really glad you could make it" from people who stared at me a just a little too long while saying that.

  Okay, the talk: God, JW wedding and funeral talks are the worst! It's like a form letter you receive from some corporation: impersonal and rigid. The JWs are probably the most predictable religion on the planet.

  Near shockingly too much emphasis by the speaker (the grooms brother, btw) on how the wife must respect her husband "no matter what." I put those words in quotation marks for a reason -- that is exactly what the elder said! I looked at my mom sitting next to me when he stated that and she just gulped. It was bad.
  
  Ah, but the husband should allow the wife to decide some matters, such as where they go on vacation. Gee, that's so generous. Really, the entire talk was so incredibly demeaning towards women I should report them to Amnesty International.

  Other than that, it was a pretty typical wedding. My brother-in-law gave the prayer at the reception and thanked Jehovah "for the flavorful food" that was provided. Seeing that this was before anyone ate the meal I think that was rather presumptuous, don't you?

  There was the typical "no rice throwing or clinking of glasses." Musn't have those evil spirits in attendence. Oh, but there was quite a bit of "spirits" being consumed! Open bar all night -- I thought it was brought out at the last DC that this would be "unwise" (read: rule)?

  I didn't drink too much. Nor did I say anything "offensive" (read: true). Actually, I'm quite glad that I went as it was an exhibition for me of exactly why I left this crummy religion. One must be reminded of that from time to time.

  Had dinner with my family yesterda....everything went okay. No peeps from the brother in law who told me, "I never want you to speak to your sister again." Thanks Tom, you were sure melancholy last night.

  One of the elders from my old hall will be giving the talk. If I get cornered as to my "unofficial" apostate ways I figured I would feign insanity, ala King David....let saliva drool from my mouth and say, "Well, you know I am Messiah."

  Seriously though, I was thinking about running out from the bathroom onto the dance floor buck naked during dinner shouting, "You are being bamboozled! God is dead, God is dead, and I have killed him!"

  What'dya think? Is that a little "weird"?

  Stacey,

  Is there anything about Bush or the Republicans that you don't like? I'm all too curious.

  there's a girl in my math class at community college who...omg she is such a hottie.

  a babe-alicious babe.. i am very inexperienced in these matters, i guess you could say i'm relationship challenged.. how do i approach her?

  she seems to struggle a bit with the material we're covering in class, and it comes pretty easy to me.

  I don't think continuence of this thread will be very productive for your love life, Dan. Stop putting yourself down! Stop the "sighs"! Dude, you're even getting me down.

  I don't feel any happier or unhappier since losing Christianity. But, I am more content.

  Question about Satan being thrown down to earth

  by gold_morning in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i read something and thought some of you might know.

  remember revelation 12:7. there was war in heaven and micheal and his angels battled the dragon and his angels.

  then satan was thrown down to earth and was like a roaring lion.. didn't the jw's say that this happened in 1914?
