Are JW's Self-righteous?
by Honesty ina good friend who is a police officer told me last night that he believes a lot of the jw's he has met through the years in his line of work are extremely self-righteous.
i didn't have much of a reply but it did get me thinking about what he said.
so, what do you guys think?

End of the World Near?
by love2Bworldly ini am wondering how many people out there still believe that in the next 100 years or so that this world/earth is going to be destroyed?.
my husband is a christian, and sometimes he is obsessed with world events in the middle east and he thinks one day soon all the christians are going to be raptured away to heaven while the antichrist rules here on earth.
i am extremely uncomfortable when he talks about it because it reminds me of the jws.. any thoughts out there?

I think once I learned about cargo cults I was done with religion. When you break it down, they're all cargo cults at base.

Rude car dealerships
by Simon indon't you just hate them ?.
i mean the ones that think they are too good to serve you (or you are not good enough to deal with).. as i posted previously, my last contract ended a few weeks ago and i got another that will involve a bit more travel than normal so am looking to get a better car to eat up the mileage and provide a bit more safety.
contract hire just to get me to and from work safely and efficiently.

I am blessed with a friend who loves to negotiate and is very good at it. When he gets started, salesmen start really wanting to talk to me. I just look at my friend! If I had to buy a car myself, I don't think I would. I'd just keep complaining about the old one.

A sister spoke to me at breakfast...
by AK - Jeff ini was eating a sinful double order of biscuits/gravy when this sister i knew came up to my table.
as is usual with witness mentality, not a single word about the family or any other matter, just launched into "hubby and i were out by your house in service, stopped by but no one was home" then she tactlessly mentioned that she had not seen us around the hall for a while.
i told her we were not attending meetings any longer.

As a completely un-religious person, I still find it a good practice to pause before digging in to recognize how lucky I am that I can have decent food pretty much whenever I want it. It helps not to take what good lives we have for granted. It especially helps when things aren't going the way we think they should!
So, meaningless ritual or not, stop occasionally to appreciate your good fortune when it's raining and you have an umbrella, when you don't have time to look for a parking place and one opens up for you just as you arrive, when you sit down at a restaurant and pick up a menu. You could be going through the dumpster out back--lots are. -

Think of the Children.
by Daunt ini've seen a lot of posts lately about children and their sexuality and this subject has always kind of touched me the wrong way, because it was hard for me to get a definitive answer for it.
the children today hear sexual content many times out of the day.
i was never specifically worried about this since i am one of these young ones and it hasn't made me a raging ignorant sexual deviant anytime lately but it is something to consider.

When my kid was in school, going through several of these "educations" (ie, sex, drugs/alcohol, gangs, etc.) he said the adults came in and talked about how it all was so baaaaaaad. They never talked about what's good--kids have to find that out for themselves. And then, maybe, they say later, "Oh--now I understand." But lots of times, they experiment, don't get "caught" and go on thinking this is just one more instance of adults trying to keep the good stuff to themselves.
I don't know if you actually could do something in public schools today that honestly discussed the allure of drugs, let alone sex, but it sure made sense to me at the time. -

More to the point, has there been any gossip about the checks? Any reaction at all?, she asks hopefully.
