#1 rajesh koothrappali.
#2 amy farrah fowler.
rajesh because he's got sheldon's number.. amy because she reminds me so much of me.. when i was in school, i was never part of the "in" crowd.. i was viewed as weird and nerdish.. lol..
I love me some Stuart - his comic timing is impeccable

.. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.
instead of preaching and saving people??.
The 'aren't we so blessed' nonsense astounded me, just do a quick Google of Atlanta religious conventions and see how many other faiths are 'blessed' by God (or would that be Satan??) - there's even an interesting article about religious meetings filling a gap in the cities convention economy!
But that tourism slant.... wow...coke, really? one of the biggest of Big Business? The increase in vile hypocrisy and two faced claptrap is truly wondrous to behold. Evangelising works are apparently on hold, they must be doing such a good job lately in the mute trolley bystander field
Thanks for posting, has really got my goat but that's a good thing, means I'm alive and free thinking

Is that a spoof video?! either way it made me want to vomit.
Atlanta has the largest concentration of colleges and universities in all the southern states, not one of which has a motto anything like 'listen,obey and be blessed', I guarantee it. If they put all this energy into enriching the lives of others instead of stifling them..... grrrrr

this is the worst series i've ever watched in my life.
whenever things are starting to get smooth and good characters seem to gain advantage, the writers just kill them.
i've wasted 25+ hours of my life watching how the writers make the bad win over the good.. they make you continue watching by planting the seed in your head that "just a few more episodes and everything is gonna be all right", but no, painful death comes upon anyone who is not cruel and perfidious enaugh.
Will be apostate - duuuuuude, you're harshing my Zen, was just settling down to start watching S1! :s now I'm gonna have to catch up with HIMYM instead, gah!
okay so i'm dating a born-in jw woman, she's younger than me and has no kids.
i'm a christian man whos divorced with 2 kids.
we're in love and seriously want to be together.
Hmm, if you have your eyes open to the likely potholes that could develop if you move the relationship forward, I'd say things could work out. I would implore you to wait a couple years before starting a family with her though, you have no idea the cyclical nature of guilt within the organisation with the memorial and assemblies.
Time and again I've seen ppl leave and then a year or two go by and they're back with a vengeance, followed by another exit/fade and return - its an immense gravitational pull to those who haven't resigned themselves to it not being the means of eternal life. It all depends on her personality and motivations.
All the best!

well my ps3 is downstairs because i had no idea how good games looked on tvs that weren't older than you are and i've run into a problem.
my mum doesn't know that i have "bad" games like cod, gta 5, legend of zelda and final fantasy (yeah ik last two aren't that bad but loads of religious stuff and magic) and it's getting harder to keep it a secret.. i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how i should go about this.
should i just wait a while and slowly introduce the idea to my mum that i play these games or should i just come out and play them and act like it'a nothing?.
Your mum sounds pretty laid back to have let you game in your room to start with,rest assured that any mum would be concerned about their 15yr old son playing gtav, jw or not! I'd say you should be able to make a case for the other games, but maybe have to put up with old TVs graphics for gta's strip clubs for now :p
b.o.r.i.n.g.. same ol' stuff.
highlights:.
- reading the bible "must be more than an intellectual experience".
So in summary you may perhaps be considered worthy if you:
You'll definitely be ostracised if you:
And the incredibly complicated subject of an individual’s spiritualty is summed up as:
Anyone remember when there was at least talk of how love can transform your life, how to be a decent human being etc? What a SAD schedule of spiritual food I missed there o.O
just been doing a clear out and found all my old public talk outlines and notes.
just ripped them up and threw them away.
felt really good.
"Freed up half a cupboard" - haha, finally evidence of what 'apostates' will say to entice you away from the 'truth' - promises of increased storage space! Was beginning to think it was all WT propaganda.
im a long-time lurker turned member, finally felt the need to share my experience with people who know where im coming from.
will try to be as succinct as possible!.
am from the uk and was born in as 3rd generation.
Update incoming :)
Since my first post have come to the conclusion that I very much need to move out soon. Mum's had to have contact with an uber popular JW family which has increased the amount of positive things she has to say about the Org. Not being able to openly point out all their wrongdoings and reason things out with her is one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever known. As she's getting older, her thoughts are turning to everything she hasn't done right in the eyes of her overlords ie. meeting attendance and ministry, even though in her own words - 'how can I go out in field service and draw people into an organisation I can't even bring myself to attend?" I HATE what they're doing to her mind, she's worth 10,000 GB members, curse them!
In other news - family members have become aware that I'm not going to meetings thanks to our circuits apparent love of congregation swapping and gossiping ugh. Suddenly noticed they were trying to subliminally 'encourage' me in the wonders of The Truth™ by whipping out video of the history of JWs museum in NY and the creation slideshow thing Had to plaster a vague smile on my face and go to a faraway happy place in my mind to save from scoffing at such blatant propaganda.
They are slowly pulling me out of my live-and-let-live phase and into one that includes plotting their eternal downfall! Really want them to attempt to wheel a Folly Trolly (otherwise known as a literature stand) onto my campus so I can have it removed whilst informing one and all of their despicable stance on higher education.
Oo, didn’t mean to go off on a rant there hugs to you all!
