McVeigh vs Death Penalty
by Amazing ini am a policitcal conservative, at least a fiscal conservative and sociel moderate.
i support the death penalty, but i agree that our judicial system needs to overhaul how wwe treat criminals to achieve better rehabilitation results.
and of course, withhold the death penalty in cases where there could be doubt.. in mcveigh's case, i believe that he deserves the death penalty.

How do you define spirituality?
by Sunchild init's a general question for anyone, and it's a very personal one that requires personal answers.
i'm not asking what the bible says, what science says, what the dictionary says, or what your mother says.
i'm asking how you, as an individual with your own ideas, feelings and perceptions, conceptualize spirituality.

Turning the Tables

Do they try too hard to be 'normal?'
by LDH init has occurred to me recently, that a lot of the behavior of jws in good standing is done to trick themselves and others into thinking they're normal.
when in fact, they're not.. example:.
when a young jw man goes to a 'gathering' he will drink one beer loudly and proclaim how good cold beer is!

My husband embarrassed me this weekend....
by LDH in....without even knowing it.. we went to a wedding saturday night and sat next to a close friend who is dating the mother of the groom.. he is white, and the groom's mom is half filipina/half mexican.
he was telling my hubby and me how in love with her he is, but he was worried about overcoming 'cultural' differences.. then my hubby tells him it's no big deal we also had to overcome big cultural differences.
(i think he's gonna say how he grew up poor in the south bronx, i was traveling the world or how he was a college basketball star, i never finished college, or how he's black, i'm 1/4 black and never made any effort to identify with 'black churches' or "naacp" or something.....).

a bizarre decision!!!
by digderidoo inhi guys...i just wanted to share with you all something that happened over the weekend, that i found really weird.. on saturday i went to a cousins wedding.....we are quite a large extended family, not jw's(only my mom is a witness), so it was nice to be with the family on such special occasions.. throughout the evening i sat down with a cousins husband, who i hadn't seen for about two years.
we had a pint and he decided to get out a pack of cigars.
now these cigars were big fat ones (you know the cuban type)...he lit up.
