  The Ancient Goddess Barbi

  the ancient goddess barbi:.

  historical views from the year 5000. we are proud to announce that archaeologists have made a major discovery explaining religious practice in the 1990's, over three thousand years ago!

  these discoveries help us better understand the myths and traditions which have been handed down over the years, and still survive today within the popular cult of the goddess barbi.

  A good example of how history gets screwed up my misinterpretations. Not so far-fetched.

  And they say the world is getting more evil and savage. Stuff going on today usually pales in comparison to stuff in the Bible. Thanks for some proof.

  I was once at a door and the guy said "I don't want to hear anything you have to say because I think it's a load of crap". But he didn't close the door. So I said "OK", but then started laughing. At first I tried to stifle it but made that funny sound in my throat and it was too obvious. We both laughed and said "Have a good day" to each other. It was heart warming.

  the saddest and sorriest aspect of life is this: no do-overs.

  we are stuck with what choices we make.

  we live with it.

  Does anyone want to hear my sad car story?

  by Mulan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we have a 1989 buick, that has served us well.

  we know we need a new car (maybe not new but newer) but we just hate the idea of car payments, something we haven't had to have for about 24 years.

  this time we will have to finance a car and just don't want to do it.. so, last week, we took the car in for a tuneup.

  Isn't it weird how every time you take your car in to be looked at, a few days later it starts making funny noises? Hmmm.....

  Sounds like Jehover was leading them to your door just at the right moment. Good thing they couldn't read your mind or this story would be on the back of an Awake magazine a few months from now.

  Just woke up from a nightmare

  by senselessly sane in

  i was having a nice normal dinner with my family, when the conversation turned to why i haven't been to any meetings in a really long time (the rest of my family isn't very regular though.

  ) everyone was turned to me, accusingly, and my father got all fire and brimstone, very vengeful-jehovah- like.

  suddenly the dinner was over and it was just him and me, and he kept accusing me of things that i didn't understand because of a language barrier between us, and i kept using my non-comprehension as a defense.

  This would be so funny had it not actually been a real nighmare that you had. Sounds horrific. Maybe it's time to examine your relationship with this man, and your relationship with yourself. Could be some issues that haven't seen the light of day.
