What goes around, comes around ...... both ways????
by outbutnotdown inwhen most people use that expression: "what goes around, comes around", it seems to be used more in a negative way.
for example, you find out bob just ripped off something small from work.
you and your co-worker don't necessarily want to rat on him so you use the famous "what goes around comes around" phrase.. but how often do we say it the other way around?

Selfish/Selfless acts......... which?
by outbutnotdown ini have a cousin, who i feel, was greatly responsible for me ceasing to believe in jw teachings.
besides showing me the "light" he is a very wise and kind person and deserves my respect.. he always stressed that humans are inhently selfish.
while i was a jw i quickly passed his thoughts as being too independant of "god".

It's freezing!! I love it!! My backyard rink!!
by outbutnotdown ini said it last year and i'll say it again.......... i just love my backyard rink.. .
i taught all of my children (4) how to skate on my backyard rink.
besides that, the life-lessons that they have learned extend beyond what words could express.

Update on my court proceedings
by outbutnotdown ini received the decision from the judge today.
for any that were following it, the judge was determining whether my ex-wife was in contempt for moving over a half hour away and a few other things.. i'll make this fairly brief.
she was found to be not in contempt.

Does the average JW REALLY and TRULY want to see Armageddon come?
by outbutnotdown inwhat percentage of jw's do you think would be happy to wake up tomorrow and honestly see all the people dying and everything else that goes along with armageddon as they've been taught?.
on the other hand, how many use the religion/belief as a way to feel superior to others and would never really want to see all that suffering or perhaps just wouldn't want to do the clean-up work after?
i guess a third question is warranted, based on their teachings...... how many hope they die a natural death and will be resurrected after all the nasty sh*t goes down?

What if World War One never happened?
by outbutnotdown inreading all these 1914 threads lately has made me think a lot more about my own feelings of the jw movement in the early years.
particularly how i feel they got kind of "lucky" that something big happened on whatever numbered prediction 1914 was for them.. we have all seen individuals ride out the rest of their sports, acting, etc.
careers on one big break.

Hooray, you're getting married so that you are not fornicating anymore!!
by outbutnotdown inmy best friend just called me and told me that his 18 year-old sister, a jw but not yet baptized, is getting married very soon.
she has had a boyfriend, a jw not baptized either and they have been having sex regularly.
her mother sent her 2000 miles away to try to prevent this from happening anymore.
