do you think that nuclear power plants are safe, either from terrorism or malfunctions?.
i live about 10 miles from the only nuclear power plant in quebec.
every now and then they talk about either closing it down or upgrading it.. would you mind living close to a nuclear power plant?
I worked on a nuclear reservation for a while and never had any exposure to radioactivity. Granted, I didn't work inside an active nuclear reactor, but my point is those places do not spew radioactivity (unless something is broken).
You'll get more exposure from background radiation (naturally occuring radiation that's everywhere), from the sun, and other places.

so I believe heavy water is H3O, not H2O2.
Heavy water does not contain an extra hydrogen atom (H30) or an extra oxygen atom (H2O2). Heavy water is made with deuterium (a heavier isotope of Hydrogen). The chemical symbol for deuterium oxide is D2O.
And I live pretty close to a nuclear power plant. I'm not worried about it too much. Nuclear power is really safe until something happens.
are there others out there like me who have become atheists after leaving the jehovajh's witnesses?
i now have a internet radio show at www.screamingmonkeys .com every mon, wed, and fri at 12noon &9pm est.
its a free thought show with lots of bible humor.
I am an atheist. I see no proof of God, so I have no reason to consider myself a theist or agnostic.
i have a friend who is a jehovah witness.
once we started talking about prayer, and i told him that we referred to god as 'lord', or 'god', or 'father', for reverence or respect, although we did not have prohibited to say jehovah.
he said that i was wrong, that it was necessary to state that the prayer was for jehovah and not any other god.
- In Matthew 6:9, in the prayer done by Jesus, he states "Hallowed be thy name." According to him, we sanctify or bless his name by saying it.
Then why didn't Jesus say "Jehovah" in this model prayer?
Edit: lol gitasatsangha... you're too quick for me.

my mom and i have been cleaning out the basement and gathered over 20 years worth of jw books, magazines, tracts (some dating from the 1950's!).
we are playing with the idea to return the jw material in a box, with the words "we quit" and a xeroxed copy of the cover coc next sunday morning in front of the local kh.
does anyone have any better/more sarcastic ideas?
If I had really old stuff, I would have sold it on ebay. But everything we had was from the 1990s and up. We didn't have any bound volumes, either (always used the CD-ROM).
so many threads on pictures, and desktops, how about telling us a few specs of your computer.
my computer is 3.5 years old.
-20 gig hard disc "maxtor".
I built it myself.
i believe that before you can love another, you must love yourself first.
some seem to loathe themselves.
others seem to adore themselves.
You're not supposed to love yourself! It can be habit forming. Some people end up loving themselves several times a day! It leads to an unhealthy attitude towards sex, according to WTS sources.
i probably was the biggest slut in the kh- sex before baptized @ 13- sex after baptism when i was 17. oral sex about 5 times w/ different guys from the kh-- what can i say, i loved being a rebel, & love sex- i think the elders liked it to because i had to tell them the details (some guy always told), & they would probably get off later- never was disfellowshipped-- i am a good actress, but i thought the "holy spirit" guided them, well not because they believed my sobbing- --:-) kristine
but no, it's me, nowisee!
ok, just checking! lol

When we quit, I thought about returning the books to the KH. But my distaste for the org increased exponentially as time went by. I didn't want to return the books to the KH so that they could "help" others become trapped in the borg. So I just threw everything away... the CDs, videos, books, magazines, etc.
I did keep the Watchtower Library CD for reference purposes, though. I now have the 2001 version... copied it illegally. Woo hoo!
