what a whopper!.
yes, that kind of garbage i'm afraid.

What Makes A Good Friend?
by krejames ini just came back from vacation with my sister who is in her mid 40s and is an active jw, regular pioneer of many years.
while away, during one of our conversations, it bacame clear to me that my sister is lonely and doesn't have a social life.
she's too old to be included in the plans of the younger generation and, as she is not married, doesn't get included in the "marrieds" set.

This photo woke me up
by krejames in.
i was already on my way to my second fade when i went to the wildlife photographer of the year 2012 exhibition, but this photo made me lose faith in the idea of a loving creator......(the gazelle has been injured by the mother cheetah so she can use it to train her cubs to hunt).

Odd experience today
by krejames inok just thought i'd share this odd experience that happened while i was responding to perfect1's thread "did a householder at the door ever cause you doubts?
" (apologies for the bad typing in that btw - was on my iphone and in my work-break).
was just relating the experience of a householder who caused me to question my beliefs.

Syposiums are pagan!
by krejames inthe bbc has been producing some interesting documentaries lately.
one series is about ancient greece and i learned something new (for me) that i thought a few here might like as much as i did.. according to one episode in the series, syposiums originated in ancient greece as events where people would get together, get drunk, make sacrifices to the pagan gods and then finally various people would stand up and talk and talk and talk, no doubt in a drunken ramble, about the deep topics of the day.. for this reason i cannot possibly attend another jw assembly or convention any more.
they always feature syposiums and now i know they are clearly rooted in paganism, well, it goes against my christian trained conscience..... .
