i understand that the word`holiday' has pagan conneotions,there4 should a jw take a holiday?
Witnesses take things to seriously. Everything has pagan roots according to some Christian scholers, you get sick of hearing about what is right and wrong.
If you were to lead your life the way that christian religious nuts would want you to, you wouldn't be leading a life at all. You would become a monk or a nun, pussyfooting around everything trying hard not to put a step out of line.
it seems to me that this board's force comes mainly from our english and aussie friends.
i've read comments that some have gotten annoyed that the society and gb seem to only stress the "american" english in their style of writing.
i'm just curious as to what you think of your american brethren.
If you are talking about the people that visit here who are American then I have no problem with them whatsoever.
You discover in life that there is good and bad in every nationality, and its only when you turn away from every bias that you may have against a certain set of people or nationality that you can truly see people for what they are.
However, as a whole, I cant stand American people. Im not saying they are all the same, as I said above, there is good and bad in everyone. Yet the reasons I find it hard to tolerate Americans is just simply the way they are; their culture, attitude etc.
Most of the things I really cant stand in life come staight from the good ol' U S of A. For instance, Starbucks Coffee and people thinking they must drink coffee just because Matt Le Blanc drinks it on Friends or something really annoying like that. American sitcoms and humor I also find hard to tolerate, coupled with the whole big headed American culture that seems to shine straight through Uncle Sams big white ass onto the rest of the gullible world.
America spurns out more crap than any other nation. Hollywood hypes things up to look good in the eyes of gullible youngsters, which is something else I hate about the States. And If a yank would tell me face to face that the American way of life is the best just because his country is full of this sh*t, I would put him straight.
...... chill man chill
There was a post on this not so long ago free will, I must say all this talk of death is very depressing.
I'll tell you how I dealt with it when i'm gone bro

i just didn't know if people would realize that it was my site since i didn't put my username in the title.... www.ghostwriter.homestead.com.
this is a collection of essays i've written in the past 3 years on my experiences leaving/since leaving the borg, with more to be added as soon as i can find the time...hope they can help some of the 'newly-outs'.. thanks again everyone for your support.
Good stuff.
Care to visit my site www.escapethewatchtower.cjb.net
Your essays are very informative and have helped me a lot, thanks.
as we were all told long ago, none of us would have to worry about getting old and dying in this system of things, because the new system was "right around the corner".
as we all know, that corner was really a circle and the new system is always just out of reach.
my father, a witness for the last 60 years, is terrrified of dying, seeing as he never thought he'd have to deal with it.
Mr Moe, I hope you read this.
I'd message you privately but It wont let me
Hey, thanks for saying all that. I appreciate your kindness
Take care brother.
i cannot believe that i am pregnant and finally going to have a baby of my own!!!!!!

my first born is due on christmas eve.. we are all very excited here..... .
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!
Great to hear someone with good news !!!!
a question: how does an elder move ahead?
what i mean is my father has been an elder for over 20 years and as far as i know he has never been offered any high profile jobs, co etc, never gotten to give the big talks at assemblies, etc, i was just wondering is there some type of politics that goes along with it?
You need to have your whole family at the hall EVERY time, all with false smiles and polyester dress.
You need to have family that are elders themselves to stick up for you in times of need.
Most of all, you just need to be a company yes man .
Yes, making illegal copies of copyright material is very wrong and can endanger the company you are cheating !!
Great ! Lets do it !
Oh look, I just dropped my e mail address ..... [email protected]
Never underestimate the power of file sharing networks such as IMESH and KAZZAA , strong compression tools such as WINRAR and most of all never underestimate the power of WICKED APOSTATES muhuhahaha !!!!

Cheers bud.
