2. beliefs
ok so the mate took good notes at the ca and here is the newest on "higher education:.

the usual bashing of motives: those who want great wealth, prestige and seek it in a college educationcollege graduates don't always get jobs in their fieldsdrugs, drinking and sex are "rampant" at collegesthose who want to "snatch us away" are near if we go to college (isa 54)if we seek a college education, we are not spiritual mindedthe most disturbing for me was this:.

those who choose college will not get blessings from jehovahand of course there was the obligatory interview with the college graduate who disdains the education whe received.. .

Nasty lyrics in hip hop and Jamaican music where I work! What to do??
by WuzLovesDubs in

ok...i have three teenagers, ive heard my share of over the top hip hop rap and head banging metal music.

and i pick my battles with that, and know that i cant really control what my kids listen to any more but dont have to have it played in my car with me in it or in my house with me present.

so i start the late night shift where i work, and its a totally different atmosphere there...laid back...which i really like...but with that comes everybody's choice of music to play while they work.

Annoying trend in TV commercials...
by Gregor in
1. social
2. current
have you noticed how it seems that the tactic of making commercials deliberately annoying is becoming popular?

i'm sure you can think of a commercial or two that quickly becomes like fingernails on a chalkboard.

that is why they are produced and repeated over and over, they accomplish the purpose of getting your attention and causing you to remember them.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses a Cult?
by digderidoo in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
i have found these 14 characteristics of a typical cult and below are some questions regarding the behaviour of a cult.

my personal opinion is that the watchtower society fits into most of these characteristics, with the exception of 1& 14. possibly part of number 10 fits, but not all.

i feel that all of the questions posed should be asked of jw's and all of the further symptoms apply too.

ok i posted a couple weeks ago that my uncle was dying.

i just found out today that he passed away on february 28th (yeah i know, i'm always the last to know these things).. ok, here's the problem - his funeral is scheduled for march 15th.

they couldn't have it this saturday, apparently there is something going on at gillead and people that would be attending the funeral will be there instead.
