Thoughts on "Going Clear," the Scientology Documentary
by OnTheWayOut ini managed to find a copy of "going clear" on the internet.
i won't post a link because most are loaded with pop-ups and you have to be careful about accidental downloads.
mine was no exception, but i managed to keep the computer clean.

Religions Are - Awesome Quote
by yodastar inmy wife grew up without a religious upbringing.
she was passed down a german bible given to her grandfather in 1935 which had a hand written inscription by two jewish colleagues of her grandfather at the time.
inside was a quote either written by her relatives or anonymous, not sure which but i really had to share it as it really sums it up for me - enjoy!.

It sounds like someone was in tune with the transcendentalist school of thought, and especially Whitman.

Why attack?
by newqatarjob inas someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!
) i find it difficult to understand why ex jws have to attack the religion, yes religion, not cult or sect.
i am no longer disfellowshipped just do not want to practice anymore.

Pistoff, what a passionate, and poignant, reply! And I quote: "We are here to tell the truth". Thank you! xx
And I am thinking of a particular member, whose wife died for lack of a kidney transplant, 6 months before they had 'new light'. Thinking of you, G. xx
[bold mine]
My reason is that they lie, lie, lie, about everything from their credentials to what they do with our money.
I expect to be lied to in business, but not from a 'religion'.
And they split up families.
They change doctrine constantly, and expect you to keep up, to swear loyalty to the old ideas, and when they change, to discard them and swear loyalty to the new.
And if you pay attention, you might let your minor child bleed to death, or watch your spouse slowly die in front of you, when they refuse blood to 'stay loyal to Jehovah'.
There; how is that for reasons to 'attack'?We are here to tell the truth about our experience being a JW, that is our experience.

I was a pizza cook at one time, and one I made at home was this: shredded chicken with sliced artichoke hearts and crumbled feta, with a sprinkling of sliced black olives. I like a light tomato sauce (traditional Italian spice) and some parmesan cheese for a base, but you decide.
Make sure you coat the pan with EVOO, so that the crust is nice and crispy, and cook at a high temp. 425 - 450F. ENJOY!
Mmm, Za! And yes, the traditional Italian, omg ............ so good and miss that.
I can no longer enjoy Za because of certain digestive problems, but yes, people, make your own! ENJOY! ;d
Thanks. sweetie, for loving the Za. Hey, we should make up some kinda goddess (like the flying spaghetti monster) for Pizza .. hmmm, that's a thought!
Oh, and a thin crust, oh yes, is best. Traditional, brushed with the best of EVOO and spiced, or world-cultural, with a meal on top ... either way, it's a nutritious and healthy food if prepared in the proper manner.And Day-YUM good! * huge grin *

You said there is value in suffering. I am asking you if there is value in child rape. Why are you refusing to answer whether or not rape, a form or sufering, has value?
Seriously? You are using this as a form or argument or debate?
Viviane, you are FULL OF IT. I have no stake in this debate, or whatever it is,,,However, I see you use this bullying tactic over and over again. You need to be called out, and where are the admins? Let's reign this bully in, just a tad bit, perhaps?

When you click on "PrtScrn", the screenshot is saved to your notepad.
Opening the Windows paint program, allows you to save the screenshot from your notepad to the Paint program, as an image.
From there, you can save to your hard drive. This is very useful and easy, but seems to be a 'well hidden secret'. Thanks to majorgeeks.com for teaching me about 'how to save a screenshot'.
