'Sing Praises' lyrics that never hit the press
by Ex Dub MS ini've had this evil little tune rattling in my head today.
i should hyphenate it in that you're-too-stupid-to-read style we hold so dear.
(to the tune of song 89).

I'm new here...
by sniperdoc inhello to all on this website.
a brief intro...i am 30, was df'd at 26 (on my b-day no less) should have been df'd a long time ago.
i have no complaints about being out of the organization now, however the initial shock going through the loss of friends and family took some time to get over.

Stop! Stop Or I Shall Shout "Stop" Again!
by Englishman injust a bit o' friday afternoon fluff.
a question for the 'mericans, of which we have one or two here.
you've probably communicated with more brits here than you had in all your life before joining this board.. leaving aside the stereo type brit of the movies, stiff upper-lip, unarmed policemen, morris minors and mini's, are we just as you expected us to be?.

Parents don't understand...
by überRabbit inmy parents just don't understand why i don't want to be part of the jehovah's witnesses organization.
it's not that i don't believe jesus' teachings, but i believe that the society has taken it too far.
they read too deep into god's words, that they end up putting training wheels on everyone.

Pat Tillman
by Yerusalyim ineither i've missed it or we haven't talked about the death of former nfl player turned army ranger specialist pat tillman in afghanistan.. this guy represents what's right about america.
he had money and fame and wanted to give back to the country after 9-11. i'm proud of people like him...and there are thousands of them here in the military...people who left homes and families...and sometimes good jobs...to do something important.. on a side note....i was worried that with as hard as we're driving the force that retention in the military was going to be a problem...thus far this year the army has exceeded it's goal of retention by a couple of 100 soldiers...the marines....have retained 90% of the goal for the year in the first six months.
these are dedicated people we're talking about here.

A religion of doing nothing
by Elsewhere ini keep noticing how most of the problems with jws is that they have a habit of doing nothing in many different situations.
they are a religion of doing nothing, unless it serves the organization.they let themselves and their children die... because they don't take bloodthey do not take action to stop abuse... leaving it in jehover's hands (tm)they don't serve in the militarythey don't votethey don't get involved in the community... unless it is for helping the organizationthey don't make charitable contributions... unless it is for helping the organizationthey don't help non-jws... unless there is a surplus from helping jwsthey don't talk to family and friends who are not jw's... shunningthey don't interact with non-jw's... unless it is to serve the organization by preachingthey don't observe holidays or birthdays.
it seems like the only actions they ever take are things related to selling more books..
