  Saying "hi" leads to love and leaving your wife...

  by kitties_and_horses_oh_my! in

  2. friends

  i've been struggling so much with some old programming that i truly feel is from the witnesses, and my father in particular.

  he always told me men and women couldn't be friends -- unless they were married or related -- because they'd fall in love with each other and leave their mates.

  that's why you could only be friends with your own gender and were never allowed to be alone with someone of the opposite sex, even in a car.

  i feel kind of silly posting next to you guys who were in the organization for much longer, like i know what i'm talking about or something, lol, i don't.. but i think it's really sad..all of these people, mostly really good people, who spend their whole lives or at least alot of it trying to do things..field service, studying, giving talks, giving up good jobs, ect.

  for this religion.

  i am really sad that i can't just save 'em from it.. i haven't been to any meetings this week and i think i finally might have the guts to tell them i'm done.. wow, it must have been realllllyyyy hard for all those who have family in the org.

  http://www.cnn.com/2004/tech/10/27/biotechnology.cats/index.html genetically modified cats for sale

  (cnn) -- a california biotechnology company has started taking orders for a hypoallergenic cat for pet lovers prone to allergies.

  the genetically engineered feline, which is expected to be available from 2007, is the first in a planned series of lifestyle pets, los angeles-based allerca said in a press release.. allerca hopes to attract customers among the millions of people worldwide who suffer from cat allergies.. up to 10 percent of the u.s. population alone are believed to be prone to symptoms that can affect the eyes, nose, ears, throat, lungs and skin.. many cat lovers ignore medical advice and discomfort and choose to keep the animals as pets, or use expensive medications to cope with their allergies.. cat allergen is also one of the main causes of childhood allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases such as bronchitis.. cat allergies are caused by a potent protein secreted by the cat's skin and salivary glands.

  many jws feel that either god is blessing them or allowing them persecution or in fact causing discipline upon them.

  Words JWs--and ex-JWs--use :)

  (preface: i have never been a jw.

  i notice words and phrases that strike me really odd, used by jws, and even by members on this board.

  one that comes readily to mind is the use of the words one or ones when referring to people.

  2. friends

  that's right, that's right, i carved my first jack-o'-lantern!

  it was much more easier than i thought it would be, and much more fun, too!

  i don't think i did too shabby for my first try, but i definitely picked up some valuable insights by observing my roommate and her awesome cat-o'-lantern.

  How Spiritual Are You? -- A 20-question true/false test from TIME magazine

  by Gopher in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the new time magazine has a story called "the god gene", which suggests that the need for god is built into our genes, and may have possibly evolved.

  wouldn't that be ironic?

  anyhow, here's the quiz.
