Does anyone get scared?
by aud8 indoes anyone who has left the organisation ever get scared at current world events and what they seem to be leading to?
more and more the governments are getting fed up with religion, there is now more than even a call "for" peace rather than "of" peace and security.
bin laden and his extremist religious views would give rise to the thought that governments will in the future be intent on eradicating religion altogether due to the trouble it causes.

How Do OLD AGE JWs Feel?
by ballistic ini just want to know if jws that have been in the "truth" all their lives, having given all for the "kingdom" die in peace or whether in the autumn and winters of their lives, they are stung by nagging intrusive thoughts... "i have given my whole life to this organisation and where is the new system?".
i ask because these people were taught they were in "the last days" when they grew up many decades or even a century ago.
how can someone go that long believeing it was going to be tommorrow?

US Cowards?
by Kent inwill they be the ultimate cowards, and make the biggest asses in history of themselves, or will they tell the israelis to start behaving?.
since 2 seconds after the first plane hit the wtc, the israelis has been busy running their own agenda - and they still are.
the last, peace negotiations are off!.

triple whammy
by Mulan inin the aftermath of tuesday's disaster, i can reflect on the past three weeks as the "summer from hell!".
my stepfather died on august 24, then my beloved cousin, sharon, took a dramatic turn for the worse, and died on september 6. we had barely gotten over the trauma of her memorial service on sunday, when this awful situation happened in our country.
sharon's sons had flown here from wisconsin and new york to be here the last few days of their mother's life, and now are stranded far from home, due to the airlines being out of commission, so to speak.. we were talking today about how when things finally get back to normal, in our lives, how sharon's death will hit us so hard!!

these sons of mine know that i am always on their side, no matter what they do.
i can't think of anything that they could do to stop me loving them.

Something DIED in me on Tuesday
by Amazing ini appreciate the words of another poster who commented that he felt it unwise to post in anger.
i have tried to hold calm and keep my anger in check, but that started to change with my nato posting yesterday.. i am set back over 30 years: i was raised to respect all races, and not to be prejudiced.
i was also raised a proud american, and that it was important not to tolerate bullies.

Why did people Jump?
by bboyneko inthis was posted on msnbc.com under an article explaining why people jumped off the twin towers.. years ago, frederick says, a colleague of his set up an experiment where he subjected laboratory animals to excruciating pain.
they could go into another chamber to escape the pain, but if they did they would get their heads chopped off.
other lab animals were allowed to observe this, so they knew what would happen.

Interesting thoughts on the situation.. READ
by Brutus inhey everyone, .
everybody has called for everything from full scale nuclear assault to a more measured response, against targets ranging from the entire middle east to just the perpetrators.
the only country in which arabs can vote for their leaders is israel, where native born arabs are given citizenship.
