I Only Get To Say This Once Every Other Year So....
by cypher50 init is snowing in atlanta, georgia!
i grew up in new york (a few miles from wallkill) and snow is actually something i miss....i used to love sitting back inside a warm house and watching everything turn white.
well, now it is really coming down here; i thought it was just a flurry because of the huge flakes but it has been going on for an hour now.

People in other religions...
by boa ina thought occured to me today about a formerly held view as a jw regarding people of other religions and people who left the 'truth'.
the first view which had bothered me for many years and for some time hotly disagreed with, was the ol' bro or sis who comes back into the service car and remarks on how the householder was catholic and how they must be so stupid and blind!
the second view i actually believed before was that all people leaving the org must certainly be hopeless and lost spiritually and obviously would never go to another religion.

The Truth Will Set You Free
by Paradise Found in"the truth will set you free".
i think people would rather live in fantazy than accept truth.. why?
because truth is terrible.. truth is not black or white or grey or something in-between.. .

Ever Seen The Movie 'Blast From The Past'?
by cypher50 inyou know, the one where brandon fraser grows up in a bomb shelter and finally comes out after so many years to a world totally new to him (like some modern day rip van winkle)?
that is how i feel right now except i simply got out of a religion.... i am not totally clueless; i fortunately was allowed to do most of the normal things that kids do while growing up (play videogames, watch all the tv shows i wanted [including smurfs] & listen to the music i liked) so i am not a total square.
however, i am 24 next month and yet i am out of 'friends' & relatives to hang out with (they ditched when i da'ed) and i have only made two true friends outside of meetings/school/work in my whole life.
