UPDATE: telling my parents I dont believe in God
by filip inmy parents have noticed my negative and sad attidude lately, whenever were going to the meetings or studying and so on.
but they just think that i am negative and sad in general.
i dont think they think that its spesifically because im being dragged to the meetings.. so lately we have had a lot of "serious" talks, because theyre worried for me.

Eat, Drink, and be Merry !!!!
by JustTickledPink ini remember the jws used to criticize the "eat, drink, and be merry" philosophy "for tomorrow we might die" and i used to think that it was a good thing that i was doing something worthwhile with my life instead of being distracted with the material things, or fleshly things of the world.
that the philosophy was so fatalistic, that tomorrow we might all be dead and anyone believing in the "eat, drink, and be merry" philosophy were all so hedonistic.
today, i hear that and have different feelings towards the saying and philosophy.

Looks like its started!
by bagpuss intoday while out shopping i met someone who used to be in the same congregation as me,but who hadn't been to a meeting for years.after chatting about families for a while he told me that he had just started going to meetings again.
confused when i didn't seem overjoyed he asked if i was still going.he seemed genuinely shocked when i said no,but even more so when in response to his question i told him no,i'm not going back.his next comment i thought was quite telling.
"what,not even with all the things happening in the world at the moment?".

Guilty Fast Food Pleasures
by Swan inokay, what is the one fast food that you just love, but are a little ashamed to admit to?.
a detective character (sue grafton's kinsey milhone) in some mysteries i read has these guilty fast food pleasures.
just about every day she runs for miles on the beach, but then she is invariably ends up ducking into the mcdonald's drive thru with her little vw and scarfing a big mac or quarter pounder.
