when the election rolls around, will you be pulling the lever for w?

i will, unless somebody comes along with the offer of free supermodels for me.. czar

No. I didn't vote for him in 2000 either. I really hope there is a decent candidate competing against him. No one has really stood out as being a strong contender though.

....when meeting a former member.. .

a few weeks ago i was outside doing the old yardwork routine: mow my postage stamp size of a yard, trim the bushes, edge it.

it was saturday and the jws were once again working my street.

MegaDude,

Thanks for sharing, this non-confrontational approach should help me a lot in my situation.

Paradise vs. Living Forever

by Water in

i wonder; if the typical jw was given a choice between living 100 years in paradise or living forever in a society such as we have today, what would they choose?

what is the real draw, immortality or perfection?.

water

Excellent points. The JW idea of paradise gets rid of much of the variety in life. I remember as a child, my mother would tell me about 'the paradise on Earth' how wonderful it was going to be. She said that over the thousand year reign the world would become as it was in the beginning. Eventually everyone would speak the same language, so why is one of the things she is looking forward to 'having the time to learn other languages?' That nice house with the large yard and lots of trees she has her eye on, won't that end up being destroyed with the rest of the worldly things?

Maybe it's an argument I'm not meant to win. She has an idea of what she want's paradise to be and ignores the reality of what she is saying.

Thank you,

Water

What is your most hated "platitude"?

by happyout in

jw
friends

mine is the old "everything happens for a reason".

when i lost my daughter, i heard this so many times, i seriously thought i was going to punch the next freakin' idiot who said it.

it's just ridiculous.. i also hate the variation "god does everything for a reason".. happyout (whose teeth are still set on edge when she hears that)
